Hi, did that mtx message from Pips ever come out?
I made the news post in August saying we were beginning a community consultation, that’s what we’ve been doing. Including surveys and focus groups. That is ongoing.

Can confirm and reassure you that Mod Markos is still overseeing RS3 :)
Don't disable TH for two weeks.
Instead, turn off the popup you get on login reminding you that you have daily keys to use.
Either do it with an A-B test (to which you can narrow it down by account demographic), or do it with everyone... Although I think an A-B test would give you more insight on who's actually going out of their way to be interacting with TH.
10 years ago, MMG basically said 'We do more MTX because everyone plays TH!'... Well, yeah. Everyone does play it, because everyone gets two pulls free a day, and they receive a popup every single time they log in that they either need to dismiss, or interact with to use their pulls
I think if you did this, you would see a stark contrast between the people who go out of their way to do their daily keys (no change), only occasionally interact with TH keys (either daily, or earned/found/rewarded keys), and those they go out of their way to ignore it (just close the popup)
Very interesting idea!
Is there any rough timeline for any of this?
I only ask because the last player sentiment driven consultation, being Hero Pass, wasn't a fun time. What seemed to be 2 months of radio silence in the face of the obvious solution for the sake of consultation was toxic at best.
Obviously this time around we aren't in damage control mode and the attitude is very different, but it would be nice to know even an iota more.
We’re trying to set expectations in the news post that this isn’t a quick or easy process, and we want to take the time to understand various player types views and to explore various different ideas and alternatives. So it’s a multiple months at least.
Read moreMy guess is that you're probably reading all of your replies, so I want to go ahead and give my suggestion.
I am coming at this from the perspective of someone who is, by all accounts, a larger spender than the average person. I don't spend on TH. I spend on bonds for cosmetics, and cosmetics. As well as things like Bank Space and other such nonsense.
I think the TH replacement is quite obvious.
A Fortnite style rotating cosmetic shop.
Create awesome cosmetics, put them on a timer to create FOMO, and slap them in a cosmetic shop on some sort of rotation. As you get more cosmetics created, create more timers and more rotating slots.
Full sets are good, but singular items that people will value as additions to their outfits are likely better. This includes things like auras.
Create item specific "ornament kits". Could be something simple like an ornament kit that changes the third age amulet to a purple, white, or red gem instead of a g...
Thank you for such a considered reply

Fair play to your AI, that was exactly what I was going for…
I think this is a positive approach and a good middle ground.
We have to be realistic that treasure hunter is a serious source of revenue for the business and finding a suitable alternative that meets the needs of all types of players requires due consideration and thought.
Thank you for this approach Jagex, clearly learnt from the mistakes of the hero pass.
You’ve summed up how we’re coming at this, thank you.
Disable treasure hunter for two weeks and see how players react.
Genuine question, what do you think we could learn from that?
TL;DR more exploration on assessing the impact of MTX to see if any action is feasible.
If only I could be that succinct!
Thanks Phil. u/JagexPips

I will simply quote Mod Doom from today’s livestream “we are so back!”
Read moreHey everyone! Regicidal here, aka “Mod Lee”.
Thank you so much for your positive comments and general support for me always. You all have no idea how much it actually means to me. The RuneScape community always has and always will hold a special place in my heart.
I just wanted to clear up some things for transparency reasons so that people don’t get confused or hear rumors.
- I am back with Jagex to make the Patch Notes videos and that’s it for now. Expect them every week!
- I’m not the new Community Manager.
- I’m not a J-Mod again. I’ll be using my old J-Mod name “Mod Lee” for entertainment purposes only (in the Patch Notes videos). I don’t have access to a J-Mod account and I, unfortunately, still cannot un-ban your account that was “banned wrongfully”.
It’s great to be back and making the weekly Patch Notes videos again. It’s a series that I started for the RuneScape YouTube channel back in 201...
Welcome back!
There is good content coming, some that’s locked in enough to share now, and a lot more in the works that’s not quite ready to discuss yet. And some properly exciting ideas in there too.
We are being particularly cautious about making commitments that might still change shape or dates that might slip.
I’m happy to help any of our game teams if asked. I want to trust and empower our teams so don’t jump in unless it’s something they want to happen.
When Jagex's CEO came out yesterday and (in not so many words) said that he considered this to be the one of the largest skills to date in scope and game impact, I knew they'd be swinging for the fences, but this... this is beyond my wildest dreams.
🙏
Thanks I’ll definitely show him this thread I think he’ll get a kick out of it
Reading this has made my day! What a wholesome post indeed. OP - send the Jagex team’s ❤️ to your Grandpa!
Congratulations and thank you!
