Hey everyone. This was briefly incorrectly mentioned in the News Post this week and isn't present in this week's update, but this is a planned change for the Oddments Store.
To explain what's going on - the team recently reviewed the Oddments Store changes from April, and the assessment is that Key Limits are out of balance with the limits on the other items in the Oddments Shop (which exist for game economy balancing reasons).
This has led to the limit being rebalanced to 10 Keys per day, which is scheduled for release next week.
Finding out from a Patch Note was definitely not the intention - it was in there as a leftover before the team delayed the release by a week late on Friday so we could provide notice to players in the next few days and avoid disrupting anyone's Grim Harvest experience.
Since the Patch Note got the word out as is - and the Limit change is now confirmed - we're going to get this news added to This Week In RuneScape asap. Look...
Read moreOur apologies for some of the issues with the News Post deployment today, that was far from ideal. Looks like some problems in converting our work to HTML went uncaught - should be all accurate now.
No, I spoke too soon, I am still having issues after a few minutes of play
Thanks for the detail on this and sorry to hear it didn't help in your case. Can you submit a ticket? It would really help the team eliminate this for those still affected as quickly as we can.

I can't even start up Runescape anymore now! Everyone using Steam is having the same problem.
We're passing these reports around Steam to the team so they can take a look asap. Thank you for sharing this and really sorry about the disruption.
Hi Hooli, thanks for the update. I am still experiencing stuttering issues. I am going to update Windows. The support page is helpful and informative.
Edit: Runescape client error due to outdated driver. Updating driver now...
Update: I tried everything and its still the same as before. Will submit a ticket through support
Sorry to hear you are still affected. The Engine Team are still working on this for anyone still impacted, so your ticket will really help that process.
We'll keep you updated, just know they're doing everything they can to get your experience back to normal again as soon as possible.

You should receive this in your RuneScape Message Centre. Did it appear there?
This is an automated system designed to stop discord raids. The server is having thousands of people join currently, it just kicked itself in.
This.
Really sorry about the initial issues you faced on this.
The somewhat good news is once, we complete our rollback, you'll be able to log in on this account and pick Fresh Start Worlds as intended. You won't need to fire up a ticket or get any further support.
We'll post on the News Post and on Social once everything is back online.
When can we expect the new skill to come out?
It's been over a year since death costs have been acknowledged as a problem and said to be worked on, and they have been an issue for much, much longer. Why can't we get at least some holdover balance changes to death costs since it keeps being delayed, such as capping them?
We are wary of removing a significant gold sink from the game without replacing it. We are looking at running Free Deaths at some point again later in the year if possible based on all the feedback we've seen on it. - Mod Jack
Why does it take 6 months to change a few values in the death cost calculation?
The delay isn't with the Death Costs, but with the changes to the GE to support tarriffs and remove the price cap. These are important economic balances to launch alongside changes to Death Costs. - Mod Jack
What can we expect of the Death Cost and GE Tax update? It got pushed back a few months, did the design/scope change, or did you hit technical issues?
Why did you remove bad luck mitigation from Zamorak at low enrages? This ruined the boss for many players.
Tell us a little bit more about "master max capes", please.
When will past cosmetics return to the Marketplace? For example the Cherry Blossom Pack, or the Agama pet?
When will we hear more about the next skill?
Will Ninja strikes continue moving old pets to the pet interface as previously?
Any chance for more free death weeks to bridge the gap before the update?
RE: Death Cost date change
Technical issues and the impact of our external QA disruption that Mod Keeper mentioned. - Mod Jack
How do you currently feel about the combat style balance? As it stands, Magic is significantly better at both the other styles than almost every form of content in the game. Melee in particular suffers from a large amount of extra effort input to compete with the other styles.
Where do you stand on the current style balance dynamic? Do you have any plans that you can mention?
I don't think the balance of the styles is in the right place.
However, I don't think this is as simple as just bringing all three into parity - we need to more clearly define the purpose of the styles and why you would want to play them. - Mod Jack
I'll ask it here because at this point I guess we've just accepted it and I don't see anyone else asking.
What are your plans for melee? We've repeatedly seen that melee won't be fixed by a single update, but there's been very little progress on doing anything for melee for quite some time now, and it's still by far the weakest combat skill.
Personal opinion - I feel even if we brought melee up to equal damage performance, this wouldn't resolve the problem. Meleers need to be close will always give it an inherent disadvantage. Melee needs a clearer purpose in the game. - Mod Jack
What happened to the tick reduction shown off at the last runefest?
We prototyped this, but so far we've concluded that it changes the game so much, and requires so much of the existing content to be re-made to make it work properly, that we are not likely to pursue this further in the forseeable future unfortunately.
Changing the tick would also have significant impact on the existing server performance and capacity which would also need addressing. - Mod Lopes

- Will the official RuneScape APIs ever get the rework they deserve? Request throttling is pretty harsh, output formats aren't consistent, some data is poorly formatted or truncated, none of the APIs allow for directly tracking a player who changes their name despite name changing having been a thing for nearly 13 years, and there are no APIs for achievements.
- Text rendering in the "Report An Issue" interface has been broken for years. Can this please finally be addressed? It's pretty annoying having the text cursor jump about, and it just feels really bad that the bug report interface is buggy.
- Most guilds are either nearly or completely dead. With Artisan's Workshop being a good example of how a guild can be used as a hub for players that want to train a given skill in a social setting, is there any chance of other guilds being repurposed to work similarly?
- Araxxor's enrage mechanics do not affect noxious drops, unlike other bosses with enrage mecha...
RE: Text Rendering in "Report An Issue"
Also a bugbear of mine. Totally agree and something we want to get to. - Mod Kalaya
