Your appeal has been received, and judging by its position in the queue, it should be seen to rather soon. You'll get an outcome sent to the email you provided when submitting the appeal.

Thank you mod stevew, I support the decision to have me permanently muted. Moving forward, I’ll work on reforming myself and/or not playing the game intoxicated

10/10 for honesty

Hi mid stevew, my RSN is “Varrock Don” . * just wanted to note that this post is not arguing that I should be unmuted, I just wanted to know the context that justifies the perm

Thanks, I've sent some contextual chat log evidence to you.

So - if there's another League, there won't be another Twisted League. Twisted is the name of the first League and refers to the fact that it's on Zeah (Xeric, Twisted bow, buckler etc).

There's no decision yet on date or frequency for more Leagues. We wanted to see if it would work. We're very happy with how Twisted has done, and I'm confident there will be more, but this isn't official confirmation (that doesn't exist yet).

Thanks pal!

Edit - from that link it seems I can only transfer a full membership package if I mistakenly purchased it for the wrong account, rather than transferring all the remaining days to another account. Is this the case?

We wouldn't encourage people to contact us saying "I bought a month, and have 4 days left, I'd like to transfer 4 days", but concessions are made when there's a huge amount of membership left (like the 3 months you mention).

So you're saying you duplicate the object?

No, we replace the object

Lol was there actually an “NDA” or is your “NDA” just blackmailing content creators with threats of bans if they were transparent enough to say anything.

No NDA has been signed, but they do sign NDAs when they do things like visit the office. Nobody has been threatened with a ban.

Hmm. Ok but if what you're saying about having nothing to gain is true why put company time and resources to sprcifically setting up and maintaining influencers? Thanks for your time.

What I meant was that we'd have nothing to gain if we forced content creators to feel like they had to stay on our good side, and act against their usual nature. We have plenty to gain from them remaining critically-minded and empowered to voice their actual opinion and expertise.

Solution: use a wide range of company employees (experts and less experienced players alike to get feedback from multiple points of view), not content creators who have a vested interest in gaining in-game advantages. The former can be more closely monitored than the latter, and I'm sure you've all learned from your mistakes with Jed & ROT, and are now better equipped to handle employees playtesting content/knowing about it before it goes live.

Employees do playtest content! It isn't just content creators, there are "normal" players too! The fact is that our players are better at the game than we are. We hire good players, and we'd strongly encourage great players to apply for vacancies as they arise.

Not with the community though, you're only saying that to save face after you've tried to keep his mouth shut with empty threats.

People will believe him over you as he informed the community and you tried to keep it hidden.

Everybody knows Jagex are useless, woox is still waiting for his chair he won from King of the skill two years ago 🤦🏻‍♂️

We didn't try to keep his mouth shut in the slightest. An NDA would not stop him creating videos like these.

Arguing with people who only want to see you guys in a negative light must be exhausting. Keep up the good work. There are intelligent people who understand why you guys do certain things.

Think of it this way - players are scared about a gamebreaking bug ruining the economy, they're told that we ignored it and tried to cover it up, and were even shown "proof" of it too. I don't blame any player from reacting to this video. It's entirely understandable.

I can't really fault the way you guys handled it, it's understandable in most regards. I'm just questioning why Rendi has to post a video in order to trigger any talk about it, did you have any intention to put a statement out about this?

We've spoken about past exploits/bugs, similarly we've spoken about staff leaving and attacks to our login servers, so it wouldn't be unthinkable - but this point still stands - "It's standard to not discuss active investigations and actions being taken, at least until after we've taken steps to resolve the issues".

Would it not create a conflict of interest in the sense that creators would feel pressured to please Jagex to maintain said access to prior info ahead of public knowledge which would in theory generate more views/ad revenue/subs/patreon?

I'd hope not! It'd be one for /u/JagexBolton to address, but we wouldn't gain anything from content creators feeling like they had to stay on our good side.

Just curious, did any content creators test twisted league in any way?

Nope! They had access to the same information you did. There were a few calls we had with them to talk about Leagues generally, but we didn't go into specifics at all.

The NDA isn't meant to censor. An NDA wouldn't have prevented Rendi from creating a video like this, for example.

Everything you just said is a lie. What happened To the group of streamers who were flew out to Jagex HQ numerous times for content testing. Tob being the big one.

We do have playtests, that's entirely separate from what we're discussing. We have playtests for "normal" players too.

Like play-testers for ToB being eligible for the first completion record?

The playtesters for Theatre of Blood didn't encounter the fully-balanced Raid, nor did they see or expect Verzik's final phase.

It's a tricky one. If we don't allow playtesters to engage with content on release day then we'd find it hard to get suitable playtesters.

so that creators can pre-prep content,

  • streamer favoritism

  • leaking every mechanic to streamers

  • actually paying streamers a salary

  • only taking feedback from streamers

jesus f**k i should start streaming you might take some of my suggestions again

<irrelevant jagex conspiracy flame>

A roll back wasn't seen as a viable option. It was the best course of action when we made errors like the Twisted bow spawn, and the max cash stack drop on death, but wasn't here.

We don't want the economy destroyed. We don't want to reboot OSRS. We don't want to remove polling. We don't want to add MTX.
