Thank you for everything

I thought you’d fit into the RS team because you’re passionate!

First of all don’t try and fill my shoes, fill your shoes and let them take you as far as they can.

As for whether you will be able to, disregard that and just keep being amazing okay?

This Community is special and they will always acknowledge the work put in and they can already see what you’re doing!

Never interacted too hard with the RS community and Reddit but Everytime I was a creeping around I'd see Shauny out there being the one man QA team. You could genuinely tell he cared about the players and the game, passion cannot be replicated

Man was just trynna keep the fires lit for us and I applaud his efforts, this video couldn't have been more from the heart

Even though we've never and probably will never interact..

Thank you

I mean it’s the posts that are created that I could reply to and I loved every minute of it. Working with the wonderful people in the RS team to pester them on specific issues then we figure out what exactly has happened and then try to address it.

It’s a wonderful feeling when you can turn a crappy issue into a fix you know?

Also just a note, the QA guys work their asses off and I feel that their work goes very much under the radar, seriously they rock!

Really sad to see the best mod go, but I know wherever you end up will be luck to have you working for them, best of luck for you Shauny. And goodbye.

Can I panic now?

You shouldn’t panic! I have my fingers crossed that someone can step in, this certainly isn’t a time of panic I’ve got this wonderful opportunity so I want to celebrate my time here!

Shauny - I've worked alongside you for 5 1/2 years, and to see your progression from fresh-faced 19-year-old boy to a mature, married dad-of-one has been amazing. Whilst I'm obviously gutted, I know it's for the right reasons - you'll smash it wherever you go.

Happy birthday, mate. You just wait for the montage we show on your final live stream. It's going to be 'Thok'ing awesome.

Mate you’ve made such huge steps, I have you to thank for a lot of things and I hope you realise the awesomeness of what you do. Thank you for the almost 4 years of us working back and forth!

I’m dreading this montage hahaha

It actually might be an interesting time to forego the streams, or do them less often as only Q&A or Gamejam type of stuff, and instead try to bring back weekly BTS videos (given that it sort of turned into month ahead videos because content updates slowed down too much to support a weekly BTS), going back to giving much less info about upcoming updates, talking more about the lore instead of the specific gameplay (which would fit well with the episodic content shift). The very first BTS was really good and I think many of the upcoming updates could have similar videos. The RS YouTube channel right now is just sort of stream archive+stream highlights so it would be nice to see some effort put into making content update videos similar to the old BTS instead of just copying over the stream stuff.

I would wholeheartedly agree - in an ideal world, we'd do weekly videos on top of streams, and I'm speaking to Mod Shed to see what we can do to up the content on the YouTube channel.

I know that from a production perspective though, a stream is a lot less time-consuming though than producing VOD content. We can also provide a lot more information on a stream than a video - so I wouldn't want us to produce VOD content at the expense of stream content though.

It's hard to put into words what a champion Shauny has been for the wiki over the last 3-4 years. From the simple things like posing for pictures or alerting us about hidden updates, to massive things like the /wiki search, mechanics sharing (that perk calculator was a f**king ordeal!), and everything in between, he's been such an incredible ally for us at Jagex, and there's about a 0% chance we'd actually be working with them (and away from FANDOM!) without Shauny being Shauny. Well over half of the cool shit we've done in the last year wouldn't be possible without him.

The crazy thing is, working with us was nowhere near the top of his job description, and in the scheme of things, his work with the wiki might not even crack the top 10 of the wonderful stuff he's done for the game. He brought the same positive attitude and big-picture view to every community interaction, and then just outworked everyone...and everybody even tangentially related to the game felt special bec...

The thing is it’s the work you lot have put in off your own back for 14 years!

Whatever happened in the past between Jagex and the Wiki needed to change because why would we ever try to damage the relationship of this immense community resource.

That’s why I wanted to do anything I can for you lot, you all inspired me to get more information for players who read the Wiki and it was an absolute pleasure!

You'll smash it.

I did raise this a little while ago could be worth linking that button to patch notes!

I’ll bring it up again and see where I get!

I believe it kicks off tomorrow (10th). /u/JagexOsborne may well know more though!

Just slower overall! Keep the heat high and your XP will be much quicker over time.

Actually, based on his Twitter bio, Mod Cam was promoted to Jr Product Manager, making it just JD and Poerkie.

If we do, twitter won’t be the first/only place

We’re not revealing any other potion ingredients until a later time.

Uh... Are extreme prayer potions new?

Yeah, a step above current super prayer pots

will you also be hosting streams or will someone else?

Maybe, we are talking about this. I can guarantee we will continue the Tuesday streams regardless!

What is a Blessed Flask?

Its essentially a special flask made through a masterwork-like process. It can be “charged” by using Extreme Prayer pots on it. Those “charges” are then basically doses/sips. This means its basically a convenience item, condensing lots of inventory space into one.
