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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. Araxxor's enrage mechanics do not affect noxious drops, unlike other bosses with enrage mecha...

  • Can we expect more updates like the gamejam graphics update? It went a long way towards making the game look more consistent.

  • There are a lot of yak track models (and marketplace) that are higher quality than existing models. Will these ever be used to update the game? Things like desert wyrm, kyatt, giant rat, unicorn and so on.

  • Any thoughts about reducing the dailyscape?

  • Any thoughts about changing how auras are earned?

RE: Default UI

What a bugbear. I totally agree with you, it's just not a simple fix. Various ideas have been toyed with on how to improve interfaces, we just have yet to find the right ones - Mod Kalaya

RE: 6th Action Bar

I personally believe we need to reduce the number of things that need keybinding rather than introduce ways to keybind more things. - Mod Jack

This is something I'm looking at. I agree with the feedback but we need to find the right solution taking into account how it could facilitate bots, impact existing AFK training methods and so on. - Mod Jack

Why is solo Solak and Vorago made much harder than doing them in teams? Why can't they be scaled to match the difficulty of duos, like 1.5m HP for solo Solak instead of 2m?

Will RS3 be getting better servers like OSRS will be (based on Mod Ash's tweets)? A longer logout timer will make servers laggier when more players afking in the game unless servers improve.

Yes. - Mod Keeper

Can we get an update on the account security upgrade? It was mentioned earlier this year... Are we still getting that this year?

The Account teams are still working on the new Jagex account system ("One account to rule them all").

It is rapidly approaching its Open Beta launch with the team frantically working to get this ready this year. This is the vehicle for the enhanced security features such as improved password complexity, verified emails etc.

At launch, you will be able to create a new Jagex account and then import existing Characters into it, giving a single set of secure account credentials for all you characters. Through the launcher you'll then be able to play all characters simultaneously with remembered authentication on them all. We will also have 1 click character creation so you can add new characters really easily. In the launcher you just choose the character you want to enter the game with and away you go!

Our current status is that much of this functionality is being tested internally at the moment. There is more development work required on both the launcher a...

  2. Are there any plans to bring back Runefest next year? I would love to be able to finally attend one.

RE: RuneFest

We really, really miss it.

We're discussing options for the future of RuneFest. When it returns, we will want to make sure it's done in a way that's as accessible to as many players as possible - whether virtually or physically. - Mod Mic

Are you adding new options to Premier Club Tokens, like Dragonkin Imperial?

Asking again since last time they told us to wait, only to learn that only the Bullsmith outfit was to be reintroduced and then only through a Mobile promotion instead of Premier Club Tokens.

I don't see why not. I'll chase this! - Mod Kalaya

Are there any specific plans following the overwhelmingly positive feedback to assign a portion of the budget and/or dev team to a continuous effort to graphically revitalize older existing areas in the same manner mod Blkwitch did with a large chunk of the free to play area?

Are there any plans to extend the log-out timer?

Will the announced Jagex launcher offer additional security features such as more complex passwords or countermeasures against account "reclamations"? Are there plans to implement multiple characters per account similar to how many MMOs do?

Are there any plans at all to offer in-game or more... live customer support similar to that present in World of Warcraft? I often find myself completely lost as to who to contact for account related issues.

Given the recently re-emphasized claim by mod Ramen that old content should eventually become obsolete, are there plans to make that happen with content such as Raids and Vorago which are m...

  3. Anything on RuneFest 2023? Planned, if so where and approx when?
  4. Mod Shogun said he likes frogs. Will there be any frog boss or frog related items in the future?

Nothing currently in development, but we bring them up in design pitches frequently.

The initial Elder God Wars Dungeon pitch I wrote was in Camdozaal rather than Senntisten, and one of the early Extinction concepts considered including Arposandra (we quickly vetoed it as we couldn't do it justice). - Mod Jack

Because it seems efficient to make it when the 120 cape is being made. There isnt much difference between the two and one is essentially the trim of the other. So the equivalent of comp and trim cape by comparison.

It's always a compromise between what's accessible and what's reasonable.

10 years ago we probably wouldn't have made a 120 all cape because attaining it was unrealistic for a vast majority.

Right now, 120 all isn't too unrealistic for someone who wants to get there - but we still feel 200M all is a step beyond that. - Mod Jack

No, as we see this cape as a recognition of those who want to pursue the 120 all goal, rather than an expectation that completionists will have to do so. - Mod Jack
