Just to make this clear, I wouldn’t want to host this if it turned into pure flame towards Jagex, ideally this should be a constructive conversation on the topic and a way to give them feedback that helps them compared to the sheer amount of posts/comments lately

I don’t play enough to give an actual full view on it but the topic itself is interesting.

EDIT: I think after a lot of thinking, while a stream is a nice way to try and articulate this, I'm also pretty sure Jagex are trawling all across the replies, its what we did in the past and I have no job Hooli + team are doing a great job of that. I wanted to try and provide a middle ground to try and get more feedback, but I mean there's a ton out there anyway so :P

If a retired mod cares about the state of RuneScape- it’s signalling Jagex has got it wrong really badly- whoever has been making calls on the direction of runescape and contents is out of touch with the existing playerbase.

There’s a ridiculous amount of staff there that are passion about RS, I saw that day in and out and it still shows today IMO.

Thank you for hosting this - I like how you are gathering community constructive feedback proactively- this is really something the jagex staff (atm) should be doing - by having a discord channel, or discord thread, to gather concerns/ take feedback and address each one or at least an update that they're working through feedback and potentially making changes (because there's been silence since the FSW announcement/video which is disheartening).

I’d like to think they’re doing this already, in the past when I couldn’t add much more information I’d be gathering posts and I have no doubt Hooli and team are doing that

Edit: I’m joking. We love both of them

Absolutely not, I’ve known Hooli for 10+ years and he’s worked on massive franchises and has got the CM game down to a tee. He’s brilliant at what he does 😁

Sorry but I don't see the point of your involvement in all this. You aren't a Jagex employee any longer. I'm sure someone there asked you to do this and felt it might sway sentiment toward FSW if you were to do so but it smacks of manipulation and that's even worse.

Jagex knows fully well what they are doing and they don't need you to sugarcoat it for them. They're trying to disguise FSW as something it is not and it didn't work. We see it for the cash grab that it is and how it is solely directed at creating a ton of new alt accounts.

And frankly given that you don't even play the game enough anymore, you really shouldn't be doing this at all. Sorry, I love you, man, I really do but please steer clear of this disaster.

I respect it 😁 just thought I could offer a medium ground to try and help the discussion but probably in retrospect it’s better handled by more engaged people for sure!

Shauny, i really appreciate everything you did while at jagex, but please dont do this... Jagex do not employ you anymore, they specifically hire people to do this kind of thing and if they are unable to sort this mess out, it's on them.

I edited my main reply, I wanted to try and help but Jagex no doubt are all over it for sure :)
