Glad to hear you like the AP system! I asked the devs about the possibilities there in future on the main game. They generally think the AP system could be a useful way of guiding new players but they also want to consider how it could tie into existing systems we have like Adventure Paths and the Activity Advisor and diaries so that the entire opening game experience is considered when making any changes. Hope this helps with some insight on the topic!

This takes away anything competitive imo.

Otherwise, im looking forward to Youtubers competing against each other.

Hey! I've asked for some calrification on this. In our game rules we allow swapping except in the cases of competitive events like Leagues or DMM. Because FSW isn't intended to be a competitive game mode - there are no tangible rewards for achieving a World First other than the fact you did it, we haven't made any changes to our existing game rules.

Why was this not polled? and if swapping is allowed its literally not fresh haha

Hey! I asked for clarification on this. Swapping is allowed in our game rules, except for competitive events like Leagues/DMM. Because it's not a competitive game mode we haven't made any changes to the existing game rules.

Hi Mod Light, off topic but I have video evidence of someone abusing the Sepulchre bug, can I submit it to you to pass on to the anti-cheat team?

Hey! Of course, I think the team has been made aware from a recent content creator video but I'm happy to pass on further evidence. :)

On ernest the chicken gold time is 04:00, but platinum time is 04:15. Does this mean gold is harder?

Hi! No, sorry this was a typo with the gold time, it's remaining the same - it was just a typo on the blog. Sorry about that!

The times on Ernest the Chicken don't make sense:

Gold 4:00 4:00 (Remains the same)

Platinum 4:00 4:15

Thanks for spotting! This was a typo with the Gold time.

Where are the toa droprates? These would be given today as mentioned in q&a?

The Q&A mentioned this week, however it's looking more likely to be next week as there is a lot of complex information and we need to get an Editorial pass on the blog before it goes out to players. We're working on it I promise! <3

Easier to get plat than it is to get gold.

Hi! Sorry, my bad. That was a typo with the "Gold" time. The "Gold" time for Ernest the Chicken is remaining the same. Thanks for spotting!

Swapping GP from the main game to FSW (or vice versa) will not be a bannable offence. However, this is risky so we don't advise doing it - you have to accept the risks of potentially being scammed as a result.

Spamming to advertise swapping is against the rules as it is using bots to advertise.

I'll get this added to the newspost this week.

Hey! The devs have been made aware of this issue. Looks like the last touch is leaving the 'mouse' over that number, and those buttons are set to hide the number on mouseover. I am syncing up with them on Monday to find out when it can be fixed, as we're currently not sure if it can be fixed on the content-dev side, or engine-team side. Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

Hey! Sorry for the late reply on this as I was checking it with the team. The devs have been made aware of this issue.

Can we hire a kid to smuggle in/out our pickaxe for like 10k gp.

Can we add a deposit wall slot in TOA lobby to store equipment and supplies no longer needed. Possibly paying the kid to transport them to our bank camel.

Hey, I saw you post this in the game update post last week. I brought it to the devs in our game update review. Generally we understand the convenience factor here but it was considered that you'd only shave off a few seconds of time here and overall the time cost to implement this doesn't provide enough benefit for the player in this instance. A good suggestion, but not something we felt should follow up on

  1. Is there any way spirit flakes could be made tradeable? I know there's concern about it being an upgrade item for spirit angler gear, but what about converting the flakes to a different item? IE "Infused fishing bait."

  2. I remember months back, asking if the Woodcutting Cape could get a guild teleport, with the team having (seemingly) no issues with it. With it being such a simple change, will that be added any time soon?

  3. It's be nice that, if something wasn't talked about during the stream, and it -did- go mentioned to the team for an internal meeting, if players were alerted somehow. (Even if I don't know the answer, it'd be nice to know my post was noticed.) Probably a lot to ask, but just a thought.

Sidenote, suggestion streams sound fantastic, but I really hope that they're handled a bit better than other "suggestion" streams have been in the past. IE: Talking about an issue, or the team saying they like the suggestion,...

Hey, I would love to provide updates to players about what suggestions are greenlit on a weekly basis. It's not something I can promise will happen soon but it's on my mind. Potentially as a weekly section in game update posts, but I can't guarantee this happens every single week and I also can't guarantee I can give reasoning for every suggestion we come across. I'd need to also factor it into my workload to manage but if the community feel like this is something important then I'll try to bump this up in prio.

The Ernest one was hotfixed, can you let me know if any other doors have this issue? They should have all been patched to deal with this issue, however, some doors use different code so they may have to been manually updated.

I've been wanting the ability to repeat quests since 2007 (not specifically as a speedrun, but I don't think there's a fail time with any of these so you can technically do them at any pace). And I like speedrunning as a concept, although I have never considered it on RS just because having to create + level + bond a new account every time I want to attempt a quest seems ridiculously boring.

Speedrunning on RS is a fairly niche community, but I think it's also limited by the fact you need to start a new account each time you do a quest, which is incredibly tedious. So Jagex may be appealing to a small group of players, but it has the potential to appeal to a much wider set of players who would find quest speedrunning fun but are put off by how much time it takes to set up an account to Song of the Elves, for example. Now you don't have to do all that preparation, meaning all of the people like me actually now have the ability to do so without any effort. Also, I ca...

This is a great explanation honestly, thanks for this!
