Saw a few people getting timed out on the Twitch channel for asking about it. Guess it's a bit of a sore topic?

General timeline was:

  1. Update comes into the game alongside nothing else. No patch notes or anything.

  2. Community riots about more MTX being added.

  3. Mod Osborne comes on Reddit to try and calm the community, promising it's just a trial to see whether it could potentially replace other MTX in the game. Promises a blog on it within weeks (can't remember exact date).

  4. Weeks pass, still no blog. Osborne said he wasn't happy with the initial blog so was in the process of rewriting it himself.

  5. Weeks pass, still no blog. Osborne said other people (investors I believe, but for obvious reasons was never confirmed) weren't happy with his take on it. Would be rewriting it.

  6. Months pass. Still no blog.

Starting to believe it was only deemed a "temporary test" after they saw the outrage among the community.

Okay thank you. Can I ask what his role is within Jagex?

Also forgive me, but his answer sounds like a cop out. Generic "why focus on the past when we can focus on the future". Surely we can't be expected to believe that?

He is Executive Producer for RuneScape.
