Will ED5 become a thing?

Good question! Let me share with you how we see it.

Firstly, a couple of thoughts and backstory...

• 'Raids' as we know it in RuneScape are '10 player encounters with a reward lock out'
• 'Elite Dungeons' when in development were known as '3 player dungeons' with the idea that they're the new, more modern style of 'Raid' in RuneScape as '10 player encounters' aren't the most appealing or popular in the current era

Currently, player facing we are calling this new concept a 'Boss Dungeon' as it's a spin on the 'Elite Dungeon' concept and uses the same systems.

However, long term we would like to clean up various terms in RuneScape and make things simpler and clearer to understand (the game has gotten quite complex after 20+ years!).

Maybe there's an opportunity to rename/recategorise these terms into something like 'Dungeons and Raids', where the definition of a 'Dungeon' is something with trash mobs and the definition of a 'Raid' is focused on the boss encounters.

• Temple of Aminishi (Dungeon)
• Dragonkin Laboratory (Dungeon)
• The Shadow Reef (Dungeon)
• The Zamorakian Undercity (Dungeon)
• Liberation of Mazcab (Raid)
• Sanctum of Rebirth (Raid)

But yes, for now I would not consider this to be an 'Elite Dungeon' and wouldn't refer to it as ED5. Maybe BD1? R2?

Who knows! I've rambled enough!
