Make friends who play OSRS! It's an MMO, find a chill clan, ask some people in a Twitch chat or a random Discord, try We Do Raids, ask on the subreddit!

Perhaps sometimes easier said than done, but I've made so many lifelong friends in this community well-before I started at Jagex by just getting stuck in and putting myself out there.

Maybe a controversial take, I wish there were more group-only content. Feels like a little bit of what makes MMOs so special (to me, at least) gets lost in the mix from time-to-time

In this economy?

The premise is that it'll serve as a one-stop-shop or culmination of info that we've released that we'll be updating as/when. So that if you're checking it a week or so before release it'll be a single page showing everything we've shared and you can be sure you've not missed anything tucked away in another blog or post from a little while ago.

I've left a few other comments concerning release date, but completely understand the frustrations people are having!

For what it's worth if you can do CoX you can literally do anything with enough practise.

Most PvM in OSRS at a 'floor' feels like a mental block when I have friends talk about how they can't do x, y or z. Everything in the game can at least be cleared without needing to lose 0 ticks or accurately prayer flick, just gotta spend some time sticking with it and letting what's happening sink in.

I promise you though that (before TOA release at least) getting 2 or 3 friends together and learning TOB as a group is some of the most fun you can have in OSRS and would highly recommend you give it a go!

I totally get it, I've taken time off of other roles before for WoW xpacs, Destiny xpacs, DLCs for other titles etc.

At the same time, it's not like we're doing it to be deliberately difficult. We want to be able to share a date that we're 100% certain we can deliver on. It'd be even worse if we released a date, people got time off of work and then we had to move it back or risk releasing something missing that last bit of polish.

It's important for us to get a date out as well and give as many people a heads-up to get stuck in as possible, and holding off on announcing the release date isn't a decision we take lightly or enjoy making. We just want to make sure it's right and not set an expectation we're not able to meet.

As soon as we're set on a date, we'll make a huge splash to make sure everybody knows and it shouldn't be too long to go.

They're being worked on by a different team to TOA, and that team is currently still acting on short-term feedback points for the PvP Arena.

Hoping you can expect to hear more on them soon, but providing a status update on one project doesn't mean there aren't multiple others ongoing, we're just not likely to put out a blog if we don't have enough to fill it with or if it's going to compete with other posts (i.e. we don't want readers to get fatigued and start engaging with our newsposts and providing us feedback less frequently).

The hope is that at a base level (without invocations) TOA should feel in-line with CoX (in my opinion it's a little more accessible, but more engaging throughout vs. CoX rooms). With the invocation system, TOA should be able to scale to literally the hardest content in the game.

Always a little hard to tell without it being out in the world though, who knows what kind of things players will come up with that we've never even considered messing with in internal playtests!

Likely keeping those pretty close to our chest the whole way through unfortunately, still want there to be a little magic in the equation!

'It will be updated regularly with more information once revealed over the coming weeks.'

We'll be announcing the release date soon, we just don't want to commit to a date and then be forced to either disappoint people or release something that's missing some finishing touches.

Apologies to have disappointed, hopefully we're able to give you something more concrete in the coming days!

It's just you, get on board!

Should be fixed now! Ruined my Friday by dropping an 's' in the href, typical.

Oops, always a couple that slip through the cracks, appreciate you pointing it out!

Have updated the wording a little to reduce redundancy!

It's been added now, totally on me, apologies!

That's not what I'm saying though! I'm trying to say that I feel there are better ways to incentivise people to anti- and to fight back beyond just flat-out buffing unskulled players, and worry that it's difficult to outright buff anti- in its current form without risking a disproportionate power level to people already anti-PKing.

I think content that encourages people to already bring brid/switches or freezes and keeps supplies high (i.e. content that already warrants people gearing up to fight back, and is worth doing even on the assumption that you'll have PKers get on you) are better and more organic ways to incentivise more people to fight back than just 'if no skull then stronger'.

You'll be able to read our apology after completing the long-awaited sequel 'Rag and Bone Man III' whose premise sees you gathering enough Rare Fossils to level a continent and then just putting them in the bin.

I feel like this and some of the other replies misrepresent what I'm saying here. On the Q&A and in my response here, I spoke on anti-PKing already being super prevalent throughout the caves, and being a little bit anxious to risk disproportionately empowering those already anti-PKing with any change we might have made.

The other part of my response given that nobody seems to have mentioned at all is that we'd rather see content focused on wilderness interactions/mechanics specifically come from wilderness content, and the devs were keen to leave that design space open.
