While we work on the RuneScape Survey system, we are interested in getting some polls out on the current poll system. Let's get Unfinished Business moving quickly.

I am looking for ideas for polls from you. Ideally they would be impactful and stuff we could start work on now, so not absolutely huge (a new quest or raid won't quite cut it).

Things like the following: - Removing Mobilising Armies - Reducing the Castle Wars requirement on Comp - Reducing game worlds

Hey all,

I thought I would drop in and talk about why I fell in love with the idea of Bank Bidders, and what – in reality – it will probably end up looking like.

I love Bank Bidders because of the moments it will create. A player will have won a ‘bank’ - the prospects look good, everything is pointing to it being full of valuable goods – and they begin to open it. Everyone is watching, they’re eager to find out what the player has won, and it turns out to be…a bronze pickaxe.

Equally, it could be an unassuming account with shedloads of great stuff! There’s the potential for wonderful stories.

I love Bank Bidders because it is fun, it’s cheeky and a little bit risky. It’s not your run of the mill event. And it’s important to note that it is an event, with all that entails: it will be something temporary, like The Drop or September Raffles. It will be a shot in the arm of fun, that’s worth logging in for.

Hi guys,

Over the past couple of days, there’s been a lot of heated discussion about the Beyond the Arc promotion, which has understandably opened up conversations about microtransactions in general. We haven’t been ignoring these conversations: you can be sure that we’re all reading them, and are deep in our own discussions about what it might mean for the future.

It’s probably worth noting what the main criticisms are:

• Beyond the Arc feels like we are putting an Arc reward behind a paywall. That’s largely because the Arc rewards are – as we’re aware – underwhelming
• A combat and Invention-related reward feels like a game content update, not a reward from a Treasure Hunter promotion.
• The outfit can’t be gained using daily keys. You need additional keys to complete the outfit
• The frequency of Treasure Hunter promotions feels constant right now

It’s also worth k...
