That makes sense, thanks! Will FSW be run again in 2023?

Leadership hasn't communicated any decisions regarding future FSW or similar events yet, so not sure.
- Slightly adjusted the health scaling of Wilderness combat events to allow more room for players to meet their personal progress in the required time. (Dev Note: We are closely monitoring these changes!)
*concern intensifies*
Nothing to be concerned about, we had been getting feedback that it was hard for players to reach their personal goals when taking part in combat events as if you weren't quick on the draw other players would nuke enemies incredibly quickly this just adjusts the health pools so that they live a little longer and give folks some more time to get their personal goals in.
As mentioned we are closely monitoring this change to make sure it hits that mark.
We’re rooting for loot this week, as we gather keys ready for Frank’s Free Chest and battle it out in Treasure Hunter.
Plus, livestreams are back, with our first of the year delving deep into the world of design!

During our sneak peek stream at the end of the year, the Jagex Publishing Team dropped by to give us an update on Jagex Accounts and the benefits they offer, including improved account security. We’re now ready to bring this system to Closed Beta!

External link →I may be off base with this but when I see things like 'cheeky sneaky-peeky' from the Presents from the Sledge post it strikes me as the kind of language normally aimed at children. I've also found a lot of the language in any Ninja Strike post to be similar. Its not necessarily puns, it's more a tone and choice of language that to me seems like it would resonate with a younger audience.
I am certainly willing to concede that it's just personal taste, but the language and tone used in the more technical posts like the Dev Blogs has always struck me as the right choice for a game with a large adult player population.
EDIT This is OP using a different Reddit account.
Thanks for the clarification.
Doing Guthix's work.
What is the thinking behind the somewhat juvenile tone used on the website for things like update articles? Given that a large amount of players are adults, the tone has always struck me as incongruous.
Could you give an example of what you mean?
Hey 'Scapers,
We'd love for you to join us on stream next Wednesday, January 25th for a Q&A Livestream with J-Mods from across the team!
In this design focused Q&A, we're looking for your questions on existing RuneScape content. This is your opportunity to get deeper answers on decisions that drive the game, meaning we can cover everything from the state of combat through to the thought process behind decisions being made for the game and more.
Just to set some expectations: this won't be a stream where we are providing a deeper look at the year ahead or go into much more detail on the announcements made in our Sneak Peek. Rest assured, that's all in the works and that opportunity will come in the near future.
Mod Jack will be heading up the cast, and we'll be picking guests based on the topics you want covered. Drop your questions below and we'll answer as many as we can during the show.
Looking for...

Does this mean that you can add compost to any growth stage or does this just mean there were some patches where you couldn't compost but now you can?
Compost can now be applied to any growing patch
Looks like you can apply compost to patches in any growing stage.
Read moreu/JagexFrosch Ditto to Giveme's comment above. I've already left survey feedback, but rereleasing the same Challenger Halo would be boring and is a sure way to reduce the likelihood of people wanting to compete/participate in FSW again. Part of the excitement was due to the novelty/exclusivity of these items, so I'd strongly suggest the development team consider brand new items and abilities (I'm sure the survey data will also be informative).
I would suggest a new Challenger item, a Challenger amulet/necklace/pendant, and perhaps an entirely new item that can be earned. I think it would be fine to reintroduce the same skilling capes, and inverted master capes, and pets. I would also suggest a new version of the skilling pets, and perhaps just make the chances of unlocking the old halo pets based on chance.
Maybe, the new item replacing the Halo of Returning could be the Black Partyhat? The Halo of Returning was a cool homeage to the Di...
Thanks for the feedback! I'd imagine we'd run a survey if/when we start preparing for another run of FSW. I'll remember this comment for if/when the time comes :)
Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering what the thought process was behind the plan to make Halo of Returning discontinued and the Challenger halo being obtainable again through similar competitive periods in the future. Could you elaborate a bit on that? And understood about the possibility that those plans can be changed!
The idea was to, in the case that we regularly run FSW events, give all players a new reward to chase every time with the milestone hunt style system, while giving more players another shot at the established, more sparse competitive reward every time.
