Link won't work because the news post isn't unhidden for whatever reason :(

Hopefully they sort it as I'd like to see what to expect this week!

Afternoon, everyone!

In case you didn't know, RuneScape turned 19 on Saturday.

So, tomorrow's live stream (Tuesday, 17:00 GMT, live on Twitch), will focus in on celebrating 19 years of RuneScape. As well as a bumper quiz (with Bonds to be won!), we'll also be inviting some long-serving members of the team onto the sofas to answer your questions about the early days of the game's development. Expect anecdotes, and an insight into RuneScape you've not seen before!

We'd love your questions - the more creative and open to discussion the better - so submit them below, and we'll ask as many relevant questions as we can.

Join us from 5pm tomorrow - and if you'd like to take part in the quiz, please ensur...

Still broken.

Still with QA, as far as I know (been visiting family in Australia). FWIW, this is the longest (in the 13 years I've been a developer at Jagex) an issue I've fixed has awaited QA with no progress. Possible the skeleton crew that worked Christmas picked it up. Will check its status when I get back from vacation.

When you say how, do you mean eoc design or code implementation? Not sure if this is the forum to ask about general eoc design decisions.

Going based on the fact he's an engine Dev my question is: some items in the game that were dual wield were always a single item (claws) but some items didn't get converted like torags hammer, was this a design decision or a technical limitation?

Pi was involved in both, so we can cover those areas!

Hello everyone!

First of all I hope you all had a glorious Christmas and new year!

I'm happy to announce that after it was well received I'll be continuing my in the games industry streams and next on my list is the one and only /u/JagexPi!

As always post below to ask away on what you'd like me to ask him!

We'll be talking about how he got to Jagex and how EoC was created.

Stream will be tomorrow night at 20.00 game time! (I won't post my stream link here so I don't break any reddit rules :D)

If I was a guessing man this'll take longer because it'll be a fix required via a NXT update which has to go through a more strenuous process to get to release.

(Those chatheads though...)

Hello Everyone,

This is an unfortunate bug and timing for the issue to occur - with it hitting right smack in the holiday season. I take responsibility for this! Our escalation process was used to get the issue hotfixed as quickly as we could. I will review the process with the team taking a look at our QA efforts prior and our resolution, find out what other improvements we can make.

Additionally, when things like this happen I want to make sure we are careful with our remedy. That we can identify the offenders as accurately as possible, and apply consequences accordingly. Would hate for us to make a problem worse.

Myself and the team will keep you posted on what we learn about this issue, impact and the remedy.

Regards

Mod Warden
