Ha! I am more of a dog person however, I have had cats before and loved them just as much. Sween used to foster cats so I'd say he definitely does like cats.

It's rewarding to see so many people voting.

Regardless of how anyone voted it's very great to see people coming together to go out and have their say at the poll booths. To see that many players passionate enough to vote is just amazing.

I never realised how thicc the gnome was - I won't be able to unsee this now. Fantastic artwork!

Had this same problem with top streamers a few years ago and could fix it for them. Pretty sure they could change his log in credentials if they put their mind to it too.

The general OSRS Discord has a dedicated #song-of-the-elves channel!

I checked out that sub. There is a post called Temple Dungeon. It's the layout for the Forthos Dungeon, but from like a year ago.

It's nice to see it made it in the game!

Indeed! It was a dungeon idea I had while designing the Hosidius rework. At the time we hadn’t mentioned that rework, so because of that I wanted to be vague when putting it on there.

Not promising everything I put on there goes into the game, but it’s always a possibility:)

The way they talked about it on the Q&A seemed to suggest that the majority of the dev team (maybe save Ash?) was split into two teams, one working on Kebos lead by Kieran and SOTE having another team being lead by Ed.

The Hosidious rework seemed to be mostly just West with Husky doing the Forthos dungeon.

So while there is clearly some division of labor, it does seem that there aren’t a ridiculous amount of moving parts, and not all pieces of content are created with equal man hours. I think that’s what lead to Kebos (and it looks like SOTE) feeling more like expansions than just updates.

You’re sort of right.

We have 3 scrum teams: The Wardens, The Unknown and The Operators. And also 2 ‘resource’ teams, Grafix (which consists of the 4 artists) and CM and then management above it all. We also get help from the audio team when we need music and sound FX.

We have 1 scrum (Wardens) alongside CM and Grafix who work on the big update of that period, currently that’s SOTE, before it was Kebos.

The Operators handle weekly updates, so that’s QoL and of late lots of PvP updates.

Then the Unknown handle medium sized updates with a current focus on the opening game experience, in an effort to minimise new players dropping out of the game.

People move about scrums as projects change and not all recent updates fit into the system perfectly as this set up has been evolving over the past year.

As for the Hosidius rework and the Forthos dungeon, those I designed myself last year and at the beginning of the year worked on the remapping...

The first part is not correct: the question is, "if question 1 passes, should we add Ring Imbues to Warding? This will be an alternative way of imbuing rings to what NMZ offers."

We wouldn't remove imbues, Warding would be an additional method of imbuing.

The second part is subjective, and I don't think that's correct either.

We don't reset accounts in Old School, ever. I'd say it's extremely likely you're logging into the wrong account. Give this support page a go: https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206811825-Forgotten-login

OK thanks for the good intent, that email address is for the Police to contact us, to put your mind at rest we have already dealt with this though. For future reference you can report incidents in game to flag it to us, or if you feel there is a very real and imminent danger then obviously just phone your local Police (who in turn can contact us 24/7 if they need to).

They sure are, they're listed as "LMS Beta" worlds.

We'd love to, but unfortunately we can't commit to developing so much content that might not make it into the game. It's why we can't do the same things for other large offerings (like grandmaster quests or bosses).

If it does pass the poll then we will be delivering betas, and we'd only release once JMods and players are aligned in thinking that it's ready.
