Legit question:

If my account gets hacked, and the hacker decides to bot on it, and then it gets banned. How do I get this fixed? Because If I manage to recover my account, I'm still banned - and the ban appeal will autodeny because the hi-jacker was botting. There's no way to currently appeal this through the support system.

Legit answer:

pop a ban appeal into us, response times are up to 14 days but are quite often in the region 3-5. If an appeal hasn't already been used, the type of ban is an 'appealable' offence and the ban was caused by a hijacker .. we'll get the ban removed.

I’d like to see changes to your criteria for handing out permanent mutes to require a more extreme offence.

Permanently muting someone in a video game is a very extreme punishment. Let alone in a game such as runescape where player interaction is a large part of the game.

There are cases where players definitely do not deserve a PERMANENT mute but still get declined when appealing.

To be fair, permanent mutes are only issued for really persistent offending or behaviour that is very concerning, we actually apply far less that you might think and when we do it's with good reason. The option to appeal exists for most perm mute cases, so there is almost always an in road to have a review and get a double check.

Not a lot of lore with this update, unfortunately ): There will be some lore books to sink your teeth into when the dungeon is released - providing it passes a poll first, of course :D

You must have seen someone with Zanik while they were doing the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest.

You're not going crazy! That was Zanik the cave goblin in disguise. The player was doing the quest 'Death to the Dorgeshuun'.

u/Mod_Stevew I didn’t know you were an OSRS JMod, I thought you focused on RS3?

My team works across both games, but I am the primary liaison between the support team and the OS team

Additionally, the guard dogs have retired from their post at the cooking store. Don’t worry – they’re going to a farm.

Not gonna lie, they had me in the first half.

I'm glad to see the herb patch moved closer to the house teleport, and closer to the spirit tree. I always felt it was a weird teleport since a (redirect) home teletab will be closer.

One question: I can't see on the map where the fruit stalls are? Were they moved to the center of town? If so, are the guards aggressive when we try to steal from the stalls?

The dogless stalls can be found in the building east of the town, nearby the coast.

No news about it right now but maybe sometime in the near future.

"The scrying pool views of certain towns have been adjusted to use more isolated maptiles to prevent interaction with the surroundings"

This has to do with the bug where accounts can get into canfis w/o the needed quest/s, correct?

Pshh. Maybe. Who's to say, really?

Looks good! Great job with it.

So there weren't any changes to tithe farm itself? Just condensing it?

Condensing it and making it contain less people so there is less contention for the reduced patches.

"Wow, this account with over 100 viewers has like 3 followers" You can write a simple scraping tool to check the rs sections of twitch and see their creation dates, follower count, if they have links in their description, in sub only mode and many other things. It's not something that takes years to develop a solution

We can report them, yes - and do - but it's ultimately up to Twitch to remove the accounts (most do get removed within 20 mins but sometimes that's enough to do a lot of damage). They're like hydras too, and another pops up pretty much straight away.

It's a solution that we'll need help from Twitch with, ultimately.
