Hooli just confirmed on stream that the new bosses are still releasing on Monday, yet the account restoration beta doesn't even START until tuesday.

I can't believe this needs to be said, but you CANNOT release a boss where the drops and their value are heavily effected by how early you get them, when there are still people locked out of the game.

Nonsense.

EDIT: The 1% statistic is getting floated about a lot here in defence of Jagex going ahead with this update, anyone who believes that only 1% of the ACTIVE playerbase is locked out needs to look at a poll or two.

Hi all. Copying this post we just put in the main thread for this. Thank you very much for all the feedback.

Update @ 20:55 Game Time, March 19th

Sharing on behalf of Mod Warden:

Hey 'Scapers,

Thanks to all of you who joined us for our stream and have been responding throughout this evening following the news of our decision to return major game content beginning on Monday.

We hear you.  And that's why, as of tonight, we've pushed out our plans to bring back major content releases.

What we've seen tonight is a spirit among so many of you - impacted or not - that you want to stand shoulder to shoulder together with your fellow citizens and enjoy major content releases at the same time. I got this call wrong and thank you for letting us know how you feel.

However, reflecting on this situation, we also know it's important to the community that any decision to delay major game content releases does not come at the cost of any content plans for the year. This is a balance we'll be bearing in mind and we've seen some great suggestions from all of you on where we can potentially draw that line.

We don't have all the answers in the here and now - we just changed plans after all! - but we will at least hold the release of Rex Matriarchs until further notice. Thanks for all your passionate responses and we'll talk about this in more detail next week.

All the best,

Mod Warden

Will we still get the combat ninja patches?

We'll have those kinds of specifics next week. This is a late Friday night decision to postpone based on the feedback we've seen today, so we honestly don't have any answers just yet.

We haven't said we won't do any of that. We just hear the feedback on major content releases and have made the call to postpone Rex Matriarchs.

We'll have better answers next week once we've had a chance to discuss this further.
