Thanks for the Edit update. Talking to the team now.
Any particular reason that this was posted only on social media / reddit? Why are you guys so inconsistent with what goes on your actual website...
With a notice this short term, that's not really something we'd see putting up on the site (in a 'News Post' format at least).
That said, totally hear you on the unclear 'one stop shop' for stuff like this. It's something we're thinking about how best to address.
We've also made some improvements to the Mac Client stability as part of today's update too! Post is here (and it's mentioned in the update notes too): https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/mac-client-improvements
Please do let us know if you are feeling the improvements on this - feedback either way helps the team massively.
@JagexHooli this also applies for iOS as well.
Thanks for the heads up. Mentioned this is another comment but to put it here too:
"As a TestFlight user, you should be able to roll back to the prior update (914.1.2) if you want to get playing before the Game Update at 13:00 Game Time."
Hope that helps!
The app for ios users is also f**ked and saying maintenance so not only android jagex....
As a TestFlight user, you should be able to roll back to the prior update (914.1.2) if you want to get playing before the Game Update at 13:00 Game Time. Hope that helps!
Will you integrate Steam achievements and steam overlay? And will you end the NXT client? Will you use the Steam systems for client updates, or still update inside the client? Does steam provide servers for Runescape worlds?
Edit: Okay I found an answer for achievements: https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/iyzzdr/steam_launch_and_runescape_growth_a_message_from/g6ibilo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Steam overlay should work, yup!
On your other questions, releasing on Steam is about bringing RuneScape to a new - optional - place to discover and play it. We have no plans to use the Steam systems for any of your questions, if that helps!
If it's a Steam limitation to not show how many existing hours you've played (unless you've been using the steam launcher for it). How does unlocking achievements work if we're already eligible for them as you're saying they'll unlock?
The Steam Hours Played is a system that tracks hours played within the app with Steam open (ie. it's not a link in feature).
On the Achievement front, you can check elements within the game to unlock the Achievements (which in some of these cases is the same hook checked for the in game Achievement).
Not gonna lie, this was a hard one to keep quiet! EXCITED!
Can a Jmod explain the entire DLC package situation?
DLC wasn't really the right word. What the team were referring to were the Membership Access Packages, which will be how Steam only users can access Membership. We'll be detailing those closer to launch, but that's what they were referring to.
If it helps, the reason the word DLC was used is because those Membership Access Packages will appear under the 'DLC' section on Steam - just the way that platform's terminology goes.
Is there a Mod Cadence yet?
Not yet, but when there is, they better make a regular appearance.
... I'll see myself out.
I'm sure the team will appreciate seeing this feedback. We're still hitting our stride so it's great to see that (at least for some of you) you can feel the step up already. Lots of hard work going into making this happen.
Is it just me or does it annoy anyone else how much mod warden says cadence?
The word cadence is WAY overused by us lot on the Community Team too in meetings - it's pretty much a self-meme at this point for us. We say it all the time. Pretty sure we all need to stick our head in a Thesaurus to fix it!
(As /r/Dalmathus said, it's a pretty common dev industry term so it's not really surprising we all say it!)
The point isn't that yak tracks are bad events or that the top events are better, its that you need variety.
If they only release one type of event it gets stale no matter what. Throwing in an occasional winter weekend type event and holding of on the yak track for a few months not only changes it up but makes you look forward to the yak track more when it returns after being gone for a while. Sure, maybe some of those events aren't the best examples but the other half is pretty beloved and would be well received when it hasn't been done for so many years.
I mentioned this in another thread, but there are other kinds of events coming as well as Yak Track and Double XP LIVE events. Halloween is in our sights, and this Holiday is definitely something we're thinking about.
We're also putting some serious work into our existing events as well - Yak Track is probably a good example of this where we've continually tried to improve the rewards through to the tasks (especially with the new lore moments in this one). We'd love to hear if you are feeling the effects of it or not.

Thanks for the report.
The Ninja Team are aware and we're going to look to address this in a future update.
Too bad Jagex stopped with events and replaced them with yak tracks.
The kind of events I'm guessing you are referring to are still very much on the cards, living alongside Yak Tracks and Double XP LIVE style events too!
We've been teasing it a little on stream, but we do have plans for something new this Halloween with an eye towards the Holidays as well.
Our Ninjas are all over this - we're looking to hopefully deploy a hotfix very soon. Stand by for updates.
We'll ping the team and hopefully come back soon with an answer!
Just to confirm, you cannot obtain pets from Herby Werby.
Can we obtain pets from the Herby Werby D&D? It does use bxp, so the exp drops don't seem to be 'lamp' exp
We'll ping the team and hopefully come back soon with an answer!
Just used another effigy star from an Unstable effigy (this time on Hunter) and it gave direct xp as well (equivalent to a medium xp lamp).
/u/jagexhooli not sure who exactly to tag, but hopefully you can help chase this down. I submitted an in-game bug report as well.
Thank you for tagging me. We'll notify the team.
