I very much enjoy hearing those ninja statistics and it reaffirms my interest in submitting things there.

We've had some great submissions! With the temporary closure we're going to be able to give every one of them the attention they deserve.
So it's basically revision/re-prioritization?
Our aim is to use the downtime to go through the backlog that's formed, rather than leaving any submissions behind.
We're also looking at things like themed submission weeks and submission windows when we reopen it, as well as tweaking some of the questions on the form to help us process them faster and a complete overhaul of the Ninja Dojo itself.
This Week In RuneScape - 27/07/20
We’re off to the island this week with ‘Desperate Measures’, RuneScape’s newest quest! In other news, the World Cup of Quests has concluded, the Ninja Dojo is undergoing some renovations and there’s a dragon-sized list of Patch Notes for you to peruse. On with the show!
This week's news includes a helping of Ninja intel, a Merch Store update and some last-minute reminders. Oh, and one more thing - there's a brand-new quest for you to play!
New Quest: Desperate Measures
When we last joined our heroes, all seemed lost. The World Guardian was betrayed. The Needle was stolen. And Seren's Council were no closer to placating the Elder Gods.
One year later, Thok and Charos have tracked down Kerapac in Anachronia. Now they need your help to uncover his base of operations and foil his plans. The world is literally at stake!
So, are you ready to take 'Desperate Measures'?
How to Start
To start 'Desperate Measures', you'll need to meet the following requirements:
- Completion of 'Desperate Times'
- Level 50 Archaeology
- Level 50 Agility
- RuneScape Membership
- Level 75 Combat is recommended
To begin the quest, head to Seren's Council North of Burthorpe Lodestone.
Completing 'Desperate Measures' will get you a cache of rewards, including a special something that'll give hefty boost to your Archaeology research and an item no true Thok fan could do without.
Need a quick plot recap? Have a read through the Story So Far blog to learn everything you need to know to enjoy the story of 'Desperate Measures'.
We'd love to hear what you think about this new quest, so once you've tried it out, hit that DISCUSS button at the bottom of this page and tell us your thoughts!
Anachronia Totems - Ninja Task
Remember when we talked about that top-secret update in the PAG strike blog? Well, it's now time to spill the beans!
A new totem has been added to the Anachronia Base Camp which will allow you to recharge your other totems.
But to build it, you'll need to collect all the parts. To get you started, you'll get one of them as a reward from 'Desperate Measures'.
Ninja Dojo - Temporary Closure
Even Ninjas need a holiday sometimes, and our team will be spending theirs having a good think about where they're going to strike next. In between all the ninjutsu training and kunai polishing, of course.
The team has received a whopping 9,861 challenges in the few months since the Dojo opened, and at the time of writing they've already accepted a quarter of them. Less than 1% of the submissions they've received are spam, so they've got an awful lot of paperwork to do!
From this Friday, July 31st, the Dojo will be temporarily closed while the Ninjas enter a deep meditative state in order to process the remaining requests. The Dojo itself will also be getting a fresh coat of paint, so be sure to check back in when the Ninjas return.
You can keep issuing challenges right up until the Dojo closes its doors on Friday. Head to http://rs.game/ninja for more.
'E-I-E-DI-NO' Achievement Grace Period
Here's some good news to any achievement hunters out there - we're extending the grace period for the 'E-I-E-DI-NO' achievement by 3 months.
We know that getting this achievement can be tricky, because it's both time-gated and relies on a few random elements. If we didn't extend this period many of you might have lost your Trimmed Completionist Capes, which we felt was unfair. Extending the grace period will help address this issue.
We've slightly adjusted the 'E-I-E-DI-NO' Achievement Grace Period paragraph:

Can we bring back patch notes being in specific categories. I would love to see relevant patch notes without needing to read 40 typo fixes you made.
Categories are generally used when we have a good chunk of changes that pertain to one specific focus. This week our changes were more broad, hence we opted away from additional categories.
The order of fixes could have been better though, whether that's us clumping typos together or even giving them their own section in the future - it's something we can explore in coming weeks.
The cutscene keeps crashing my game, not sure if it's a me problem or runescape problem. This is the error I get:

Can anyone help?
Would you be able to confirm what world you were on?
w6, w15, and w27 are the ones I've tried it on.
Very helpful, thanks!
Chat box is bugged, showing up completely blank. Myself and numerous players at all locations having the same issue
We are actively investigating this. As soon as we have news on this, we'll let you all know.
As a note, we have had reports that restarting the client resolved it for some (but not for others). An obvious step to relay but worth a shot.

This fix has proved to be complex, but our team have just deployed a potential fix that may address the issue.
If All Chat no longer works, could you log out and log back in? Please let us know if this resolves the issue or not if you could.
