Mod_Miva has acknowledged these issues a number of times in the past so I’m wondering how jagex/the Mod team plans to mitigate these issues and lower the temperature between players and the mods.

I believe the upcoming Q&A session is a step in the right direction. What do you think?

Is it good first step? Possibly. But it’s a first step that we’ve seen numerous times before with varied attempts at follow through.

There must be a place to begin. Give us some time, though. We can talk about communication problems in a different discussion, however I don't want to sidetrack this one.

While that's not the answer I know you were hoping for, it's worth mentioning a bunch of cosmetics from the Count Yakular Yak Track will at least appear in the Halloween H'Oddments Store given their spooky theme. - Mod Joe

We need to gauge the value of this compared to everything we could do for the game and whether its something enough players feel strongly about. Something for us to pick up in the players surveys perhaps to get some data on the size of support here.

Alternatively we could look at redistributing the rewards and comp requirements to other more popular activities if this is what most players would rather see. We'd love to know what you think on both fronts! - Mod Mic

Likewise... 'why' have treasure hunter promotions become more and more predatory?

We believe the Marketplace to be a convenient way for players to access the most recent customisation content without leaving the game.

Right now though, it doesn’t have all of the 'back-catalogue' content that is available on Solomon's Store. As we improve the tech to allow better discoverability and content rotation we can plan to decommission the older store - but for now it made sense to leave it in place. - Mod Mic

What are your plans for bond prices in game? The prices have skyrocketed from various promotions and events, which creates a strong incentive for players to purchase them with real money. But it's a fine balance with also making them affordable for mid game players to keep up their membership.

Do you have an internal target where in-game bond prices equate to x hours of mid-tier pvm/slaying/other common moneymakers? And then bump the real money value of bonds accordingly.

The current Bond prices are really a reflection of where the economy is. The issue to look at is the disparity between sources of coins, which is something we're definitely looking at right now.

We don't really control bond prices at all, they're a reflection of the relative value of gold. - Mod Jack

I think it's something where we need to work with the community to find the right solution - switchscape is out of hand, but at the same time we don't want to remove the ability for players to reach a high skill ceiling.

We wouldn't be looking to do this on a per-item release schedule, but we can give you a general idea about how long before rewards reappear in other channels (eg. the Marketplace or Oddments store). We're usually looking at around 24 months as the minimum - also depending on the popularity of the items.

In terms of the Inverted Skill Capes from FSW, we haven't made any decisions on how we'll get these out there yet or on what timeline. We're currently leaning more towards making them have to be earned in some way. We can confirm it won't be through Treasure Hunter though. - Mod Mic

The avatar is linked to so many other systems and content, and it has a deep emotional attachment for our players so we need to handle it delicately - and make sure we are 100% confident we are approaching it correctly.

Can further improvements be made to the early game experience for newer players?

If your goal with FSW is to attract new players to the game, then surely you should be actively working to improve the new player experience:

  • Standardized game interface layout
  • More accessible combat system early game
  • Pathing system that guides players through F2P skilling/quests to help them learn the ins and outs of the game and get them invested in the lore (could award 14 days of membership for completion)
  • Rebalances of early game content to better suit modern Runescape scaling

A post that goes into more detail on some of these points

RE: Early Game Experience

This is absolutely something we're always conscious of in projects. In general when we make broad design fixes they should apply at the start of the game and in the endgame.

That said, right now we don't currently have anyone specifically working on the new player experience truth be told - we're focusing more on bringing back past players as the priority - Mod Jack

I welcome the transparency, but what planning and precautions have been investigated to make sure all of this is feasibly doable in this time frame, especially next year's content?

We are always working on improving our development pipeline and have made some good progress - but making games is a creative process with sometimes unknowns popping up.

Just a few months ago we had a situation outside of our control that disrupted our external QA support - which then impacted our development timelines. That impact meant we had to re-evaluate some of our releases to ensure quality, which you've seen with us moving Wilderness Events to October and the Death Cost Rework to early 2023.

I hope you felt the Development Update showed our continued efforts to be transparent, even in situations where we can't commit to more specific timelines like we could with the initial roadmap announcement in the Summer. - Mod Keeper

Aside from that, we're aware the grouping system isn't in the best spot and is in need of improvements. This needs engine work and so will require a not-insubstantial period of development, which isn't planned at the moment, but is 'on the list'. - Mod Kalaya

- Any plans to make something like a Super Rune Ess Sack that combines all other pouches into 1?

- Any interest in making a reward enhancer from the Maw to slightly increase skilling pet drop rate?

- in regards to the Jagex Launcher and multiple accounts per 1 subscription. Will we be able to merge all our Solomons Store purchases onto all accounts?

- Would it be possible to link an actionbar to an outfit? like when you withdrawing a 2H melee wepon from bank preset it swaps action bars, could we assign a saved cosmetic outfit to one too? (Fashionscape is endgame after all)

Thank you

Because it seems efficient to make it when the 120 cape is being made. There isnt much difference between the two and one is essentially the trim of the other. So the equivalent of comp and trim cape by comparison.

It's always a compromise between what's accessible and what's reasonable.

10 years ago we probably wouldn't have made a 120 all cape because attaining it was unrealistic for a vast majority.

Right now, 120 all isn't too unrealistic for someone who wants to get there - but we still feel 200M all is a step beyond that. - Mod Jack

All of us want RuneScape to grow and survive, but FNW was not well received and most of us do not think it will attract new players.

You have thousands of people who could be used like a focus group to gain insight on what attracts us to games. In fact, many of us have left RuneScape for other MMOs because they attracted us with features. Perhaps using us (the players) to explain reasons why other games are swaying us away may help you to grow the player base.

Are there any plans at all to offer in-game or more... live customer support similar to that present in World of Warcraft? I often find myself completely lost as to who to contact for account related issues.

Given the recently re-emphasized claim by mod Ramen that old content should eventually become obsolete, are there plans to make that happen with content such as Raids and Vorago which are mechanically outdated and clunky yet to this day contain rewards that are persistently relevant in a big way to regular accounts and are "must-do" grinds for ironman accounts?

The Account teams are still working on the new Jagex account system ("One account to rule them all").

It is rapidly approaching its Open Beta launch with the team frantically working to get this ready this year. This is the vehicle for the enhanced security features such as improved password complexity, verified emails etc.

At launch, you will be able to create a new Jagex account and then import existing Characters into it, giving a single set of secure account credentials for all you characters. Through the launcher you'll then be able to play all characters simultaneously with remembered authentication on them all. We will also have 1 click character creation so you can add new characters really easily. In the launcher you just choose the character you want to enter the game with and away you go!

Our current status is that much of this functionality is being tested internally at the moment. There is more development work required on both the launcher and the account system and the teams are working flat out to deliver this. We work hard not to 'crunch' at Jagex - but with this in mind, we are doing all that we can to get these features to you as fast as possible! - Mod Korpz

  2. Text rendering in the "Report An Issue" interface has been broken for years. Can this please finally be addressed? It's pretty annoying having the text cursor jump about, and it just feels really bad that the bug report interface is buggy.
  3. Most guilds are either nearly or completely dead. With Artisan's Workshop being a good example of how a guild can be used as a hub for players that want to train a given skill in a social setting, is there any chance of other guilds being repurposed to work similarly?
  4. Araxxor's enrage mechanics do not affect noxious drops, unlike other bosses with enrage mechanics where higher enrage means higher drop rates. As it stands, high enrage Araxxor has no value after you've unlocked the pets. Is there a chance this might get addressed, or at least adjusted to make high enrage Araxxor feel less like a waste of food and potions?

Personal opinion - I feel even if we brought melee up to equal damage performance, this wouldn't resolve the problem. Meleers need to be close will always give it an inherent disadvantage. Melee needs a clearer purpose in the game. - Mod Jack

I don't think the balance of the styles is in the right place.

However, I don't think this is as simple as just bringing all three into parity - we need to more clearly define the purpose of the styles and why you would want to play them. - Mod Jack

And later here: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/ulnx90/i_am_once_again_asking_for_your_support_to_bring/

When are you going to adress this issue?

Thank you.

Mod Lopes: We have addressed this in part in backend updates over the past months, and have telemetry data that shows we have significantly reduced the frequency of missed ticks on the servers compared with previous years.

Preventing every occurrence is complex given the specific nature of the game server implementation and the amount of content that has been added over the years, but we continue to look at options to improve this further.

Beyond this, we have to accept that the internet is never perfect ; variable connections to the game servers mean there is never going to be 100% reliability across the whole world for all player actions.
