We had a post up on the official site during the Maintenance (which is also visible in the Launcher). Pretty regular for us now - so if you're ever unsure, head to RuneScape.com.

We also post notices of these in the TWIR when they are planned so that's another spot you can check.

We're coming back online now!

I can actually confirm Revo++ does work with Necromancy as it stands!

The big thing about Necromancy as you touched on though as it's designed to be the best way to learn how to to play manual out of all the styles. It's the unique opportunity we could really take on with it being a new Style.

We give you abilities at a better pace, giving you time to learn how they work and synergise with various systems, then build or layer on them in a way that's more understandable. This is combined with auto-attacks being more relevant to damage output in order to let you focus more on impactful abilities.

There's also a lot more tutorial support, improved tooltips and more to support that learning. We'll be sharing more details on Accessibility closer to launch as well.

As a fellow Revo user who fires Thresholds/Ults/Binds on Manual, I'm totally with you - I'm really looking forward to it finally pushing me to go full Manual. The key t...

I'd say that comes under the same stuff yeah.

We're going to explain a lot about the Skill, how things work, things you might need - where we're going to be more cautious is on showing you how to do everything or give so many specifics you kind of know everything to do day one.

When I was playing Archaeology at launch, that moment in Kharid-Et where we were trying to figure out how to open the door with the dials was so magic. That's where we're trying to show restraint - keep those moments (even for small things like potion ingredients!), let players discover things and share the news with other players from their findings/progress.

Thank you for the kind words! Means a lot to us.

Big props have to go to the team as well. This has been a year-long effort that started last year between us, the dev team and RuneScape's leadership to restore the way we used to interact with the community.

It took some time to reshape the way we worked together across the team (especially learning how to do this remotely where you can't just pop to someone's desk), which I know was painful in places last year while we went through that, but the payoff has been being set up to be like this this year. It's been a whole team effort.

I know I overuse this analogy, but I've been saying we're trying to Crawl, Walk and Run when it comes to being closer with all of you. This is very much just the Crawl phase as we get the fundamentals in place, and we'll improve from there.

This has been our target time frame for some time now so nothing is being rushed.

The reason we're confirming the date much closer to launch than you'd expect is purely so we could give a date we're extremely confident in. We just left it till as late as possible in development - without being so late we aren't giving enough notice.

Absolutely. There's going to be a lot more info to come over July.

It's been in there since we posted - not sure why it's not displaying for you.

I LOVE THOSE BOOKS.

No comment otherwise but you are a human of good taste in my book.

There are zero requirements. You can literally fire up a brand new account to go play it without having to do anything else beforehand (except tutorials depending on your selections on first login).

We've been sitting on this date for quite some time.

We can never say definitively 'it will never move', but we held sharing it until we felt we could drop a committed date in complete confidence. Take from that what you will.

That's the kind of thing you'll need to discover at release I'm afraid.

While we're being a lot more open about certain things, we don't really want to telegraph much detail beyond the list itself - there's a balance to strike between everyone being given the same knowledge on items that you may want with keeping details for you to discover when you play.

Also, stay tuned - right after the debut, we'll be dropping a Newspost with a few more nuggets of information on how to be best ready for launch.

Ready to find out when Necromancy will be in your hands?

We'd love for you to join us today at 5pm BST / 12pm EST / 9am PST as we finally drop the date you've been waiting for in an epic new Cinematic Trailer. Can't wait for you to see it!

Hope to see you in the chat.

Raising it with the team now, thank you.

The Golden Cape Hunt will return this Friday for one weekend only!

Due to a bug preventing Shards from being collected for a short time, we wanted to give back to players who may have had their Hunt impacted.

Finish the Hunt June 30 at ~10:15 until July 2 at 23:59 (Game Time). More information here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/golden-cape-hunt-l...

We have a confirmed time!

We'll be deploying the Coldfix around 10:15 Game Time on Friday, and the event will run until Sunday at 23:59 Game Time.

We're delighted to confirm that we are go for bringing the Golden Cape Hunt back over this weekend, beginning on Friday and ending on Sunday. This will be the one and only extra chance to participate in the event - no further extensions.

All your progress from the event will carry over to this weekend. If you destroyed Shards, you can reclaim them at The Wise Old Man as you could during the event.

This will require a Coldfix to implement. We haven't nailed down timings on Friday - but once we do, we'll be sharing this news more broadly with the rest of the community so you know when to expect it.

For now, we just wanted to let you know we are able to make this happen and we'll have more to share firmer news on it in the near future once everything's finalised.

You can reclaim them from the Wise Old Man at the GE entrance if we reactivate it. That was already a feature of the event thankfully!

We look at it differently here, which is more about people's availability and how an issue disrupted people's precious time that may have been one of their only opportunities of the week to finish it.

The timing of the issue meant some folks who only had Saturday evening in the US to finish the hunt were not able to do it. If we can, we want to give that opportunity back to those players who might not be able to play during the week - and had consciously planned to use the time they did have on the weekend to complete it.

Even beyond that, there were players who chose to spend their Saturday evening in RuneScape chasing these Shards that unfortunately would never drop for them due to the bug - which is not the experience we should be delivering.

It's a different situation than folks just not being able to complete it in time, purely due to the issue that could be why they didn't.
