Actually, pretend this was my initial answer: https://youtu.be/0bYY8m1Lb2I

Yep, that's what it's looking like.

We're glad you enjoyed it. As you said, it's easier said than done. Now we do it.

I'm seeing a few questions about why we're waiting until Monday. This was at our request and here's why: it gives us more time to better support their launch with additional messaging, it lets both us and 117Scape manage expectations about specs and compatibility, and allows time for 117Scape to build a way to capture bug reports and feedback. I'm really excited for Monday!

Really though, we'll be talking more about it tomorrow.

There'll be more Combat Achievements-related competitions soonish, just ironing them out!

We've attempted to answer some of your questions since the posting of the newspost. They have been added to the newspost, and also below.

Are the account bans related solely to things we've seen on videos?

No, the account bans are related to other issues not shown on video, but were mentioned in the original newspost above e.g. crashing game worlds.

How many accounts have been banned?

The creator mentioned has had at least 14 accounts banned this year.The other player mentioned has had at least 48 accounts banned this year.

How did the bugs we saw in a recent video crash game worlds and cause dupes?

The account bans are not solely related to content you are being shown on video

.Why have you banned the players for discovering and reporting bugs, and not using them?

We are wholly confident that the bugs were abused prior to them being reported t...

There's been a lot of discussion about recent bug abuse bans, and we'd like to share some insight into what's happened.

We took action against a content creator's RuneScape accounts. The accounts belonging to the content creator were used for malicious activity, including but not limited to, crashing of game worlds for the purpose of item and wealth duplication to be sold for real world monies, and exploiting an invisibility/invincibility bug in PvP combat scenarios.

The content creator is a very talented RuneScape player, their use of mechanics is inspired, but their actions - not shown in their content - negatively impact the wider community and game health.

Alongside these bans, we also took action against the accounts of a player associated with the content creator. This player has also...

I don't expect players to rush to this client yet, far from it. Maybe at a later stage when we add the ground items, loot tracking etc.

We will make the C++ client available outside of Steam later down the line too :)

Nope, those are all Milestone 1. We'll talk about Milestones 2 and 3 soon :)

We considered how they should look and feel, and decided that for the most part it would be best to offer something that players are already familiar with.

Features will be coming to mobile!

To talk to the last point specifically, it means we can plan and work on new features whilst content is in the works, so they can arrive side-by-side.

I appreciate that :)
See you when we next f*ck up I guess ( *・∀・)ノ゛
