Are you at least going to explain the something exciting in 5 minutes broadcast?
That was an unintended broadcast that we hotfixed out yesterday. Sorry for the confusion!

But thats exactly what it is. They stretch it out so they can go a whole month or two without any real content. I personally don't need always new content, but rather fixing some of the old content would suffice. One may only wonder why runescape doesn't have any devs anymore. Because it clearly isn't worked on anymore. That's why we're not getting updates or content fixes anymore, they don't have people to work on them.
We've been releasing monthly content updates, which we're continuing into 2021, and the team is growing substantially right now so that we can up our capabilities even more with that monthly drop approach. It's very much the opposite of that. There's more on this here if you're interested: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/mod-wardens-wintumber-letter-2020
Thanks for your thoughts on this everyone.
Rest assured, we've got plenty to come to celebrate RuneScape's 20th Anniversary. With an Anniversary this big, the intention is to spend a whole year celebrating rather than just a single day. If you aren't quite feeling the Anniversary spirit yet, there's still plenty to come that will hopefully hit those notes for you.
This event - The Grand Party - is all about celebrating some of the core aspects of RuneScape across January. The nostalgia laden mini-quests this week are all about celebrating the fantastic history of Quests in RuneScape, but in the coming weeks, we'll have different themes that focus on celebrating other parts of the RuneScape experience too.
There'll be some really (!!) juicy bonuses within each 'Celebration' theme that will put the focus on types of content across the game - and take the party spirit well beyond the borders of the Crater. You'll also have the chance to sink your teeth into the...

Is it just a 10% xp boost? Just wondering if there's anything else.
Thanks for those who mentioned this - we've hotfixed that announcement out just now since it was inaccurate. The 10% XP Boost is on all the time in the Crater.
This is great and all but what do poor Intel users like me do who can't keep the client from crashing every 15 mins?
We're working on getting this resolved - we're currently gathering any reports and information for the team to assist in an investigation. Thanks ever so much for your patience while we look into this.
Normally the anniversary capes are tied to your account creation date. Is there a reason why this was changed?
It's a cape for RuneScape's 20th Anniversary rather than a 20 Year Vet Cape. Think of it as an 'I was there!' memento.
Veteran Capes track from Feb 2002 when account creation details started being logged, so there won't be any 20 Year Vet Capes happening this year.
Happy Birthday RuneScape!
Today is just the start of everything RS20 - this will be a month-long event to kick start a year long celebration, both in and out of the game. Lots to celebrate with this much history!
A bunch of us here will be hopping online at 5pm Game Time on World 1 and World 16 to mark RuneScape's 20th Anniversary and make it one to remember. We hope you'll join us!
Its Jan the 4th in the UK approx 8 am so my guess is that it'll be roughly 4/5 hours time:)
It'll start after we deploy our Monday Update, which is looking like 11am Game Time today!
Just wanted to hop in and let you know this is very much top of mind and on our radar, especially so after some posts about it just before the Christmas break. We totally get the frustration this causes and we're on it.
For some info - we did roll back these changes while we fix the issues that cropped up, which definitely seems to have helped the majority of people, but clearly this hasn't resolved it for everyone. There's more work that needs to be done.
We're going to get all this info over to the team once most people are back from break to continue helping their investigations. These threads are really great at helping us get things sorted sooner and keeping on top of this, so thank you for posting it - and for your patience with it. We'll do our best to keep you updated on any progress we make.
Activity pets when? It's been a year now.
Activity Pets are still very much on the cards. There's been a lot of progression since we last showed them on stream in September and we should have news to share sooner rather than later!
I'm still experiencing game freezes, dissapearing inventory items and disappearing game graphics overall. Also still sometimes the weird colour effects in the login screen. With an intel UHD 620 graphic card.
There have been multiple people commenting on the initial client investigating thread following the last update, that it's not fixed yet. I suggest you have a look at that. Shouldn't have unstickied it in the first place without waiting for feedback.
Thanks for letting me know on this - sorry to hear you have continued issues.
We'll regroup on this with the team and we'll report back with any details to share / information requests. Given the time of year and the fact we have no updates until January 4th, this may be a bit longer than usual - but we'll keep it top of our lists to discuss in the New Year.
Looks terrible imo. Better than what we have, which is a disaster, but this looks really bad to me. Not runescape esque at all.
So just to drop in with a couple bits on this one -
This is a 'Visual Target' concept to show you the kind of detail / quality we're looking to hit with this project vs where we are today. This is by no means a 100% defined or finalized look we're presenting today.
Comments like this are also exactly why we plan to involve all of you in the development of this early and often - potentially even beginning late next month - so we can get important feedback throughout the process.
The goal here isn't just to improve fidelity and quality, but to do it in a way that feels right to as many of you as possible. These are your World Guardians we're messing with, after all.
RuneScape will be undergoing a quick server reboot for some general maintenance today at 11am Game Time. This should be as little downtime as a usual Monday Update, sans any new updates or changes.
As a reminder, our next Game Update takes place on January 4th to kick off our 20th Anniversary Celebrations!
External link →I’m very excited for the one update they teased, but I’m Somewhat disappointed in that the only thing we have to look forward to is another top-end end-game dungeon that has seemingly been delayed until later in 2021 when it was supposed to release this year.
PvM updates are the most important part of RS3 (imo) and I’m glad we’re getting more, but Jagex should really consider doing more than just cater to the fringe 1% whenever they do release a boss (once a year).
With this larger development team, I’d love for them to create more mid-level encounters and create a fresher take on some older fights. Give newer players a way to experience proper PvM that’s not just waiting after they’ve sunk 3000 hours into the game.
If it helps, EGW is a theme across a variety of content - there will be plenty more on top of the Dungeon to look forward to.
"and run an incredibly stable game operation"
In the meantime there are still a lot of players experiencing game crashes and graphical glitches following the 23rd of november update. Very stable indeed! Maybe acknowledge that it's still not fixed and something is going to be done about it In the new year. Radio silence is very unsettling.
We reverted the changes causing those issues to happen with the 14th update. Is this something you are still encountering out of interest?
If anyone is encountering this issue still, please do respond to this comment if you'd like for us to reach out so I can pass it to the investigation.
Just make sure you keep hold of those party hats - you never know when they may be worth something!
Oh lord what's coming
This one is just a quip about Party Hats from your Christmas Crackers - no secret 'read between the lines' insinuation with this one.
Hey everyone! Just to add to this, we're looking to do the promised Leads Q&A that we had to postpone around mid-January at present.
In that Live Stream, we'll chat a lot of the contents of this letter as well as answering your questions. The intention was for that to come before the letter of course, but an illness in the team changed those plans.
Hopefully you find a lot of the themes in here exciting and we wish you all a great holiday in whatever way you can enjoy it this year. Looking forward to having a ton of fun with you all next month for our 20th Anniversary!
The deployment of the fix has completed on the Lobby side, so you should now be able to log in / open the client as usual. Thanks for your patience!
Please note that some worlds are still offline as we finish rolling out the fix to all worlds. These will continue to come back online over the next couple of hours.
We've identified the issue and have begun to deploy the fix. This will take some time to spool up, but we should have some good news to report sooner rather than later. More updates to come - thanks for your patience!
