No steam backgrounds?
Pretty sure we've got some Graador, Zuk, and Zulrah backgrounds lined up. I will check!

u/JagexSarnie, any ideas when we can expect an updated blog on the status of the equipment rebalancing changes?
We're still discussing our approach. No ETA on updated blog, but we want to let you know what's going on sooner rather than later.
Why would anyone use the steam client over Runelite? What features other than UI scaling does the steam client have to prevent people ditching it for Runelite?
You still keep your playerbase though, they will just be playing on different clients so I guess it's no loss for you.
It's a really good question.
Bottom line is that we're really excited to bring Steam to new players or players who played a long time ago. We understand that a lot of our current players might not want to play using the Steam game client - and that's fine!
We've seen everybody's feedback though, loud and clear. Our current focus is on a smooth Steam launch for the time being. For the future, we're not ruling anything out but there are no immediate plans. Naturally, we'll tell you well ahead of time if that changes!
So the new update is the 17th, but even that update does not include the Equipment rebalancing correct? so the date is still TBD on these changes?
As for when we're looking to release this... we're not going to predict a date for it just yet. But you'll be kept informed well in advance.
Yep. TBD I'm afraid.
Disappointed we're not seeing the buffs/changes to the maces, chainmail, and shields at least tomorrow. They're interesting, but the longer away they are the farther my account gets progression wise from the changes being relevant.
We're not opposed to splitting up the changes rather than one big batch. We could add the popular changes (like you mentioned) without Blowpipe and co. We're not ruling anything out.
Hey all. It does look like some of our AU worlds had an issue. Our SysAdmin team are investigating it now! Apologies for any inconvenience.
Dude the team is absolutely massive now, I don't recognize a lot of them (even today, I don't know who Mod Herc is), I think it would be really cool to see a part in the gazette with a short bio for each Jmod.
It's seriously exciting. I only joined the OS team on 2017 about two days before the Inferno (but have been at Jagex since 2015) and even just three years ago our entire team could fit on three rows of desks. Now there's so much talent here!
I'd be happy to get more J-Mod input into the Gazette, I'll see what we can pull together.
All I want for Christmas is instanced gwd
We saw the WIP shown off in our internal sprint review. It's coming along!
Is he really coming to w305 in 10 minutes?
Did you make it? I was there!
Had to share somewhere, just beat Jad for the first time ever.
In trailblazer tho, so now I know I can do it, it's on to doing it for real.
Congratulations!
Stray dog confirmed for next boss?
Merry Christmas!!
Everybody else: "Give the stray dog a quest, let us get him as a pet!"
You: "Can I kill him?"
Merry Christmas! but now that xp-waste is out of the way lets get back to business.
Top tip for avoiding XP waste during Christmas. Blend your turkey into smoothie form. Drink turkey through big straw whilst gaming.
Hey, right now this post is probably the best list of which pets in game get a holiday hat. I've looked online last year too and there isnt one! If you could reply with a list of all of them thatd be honestly great. For example I know olm has one but is missing here (not that this was supposed to be a list but yeah)
Could you remind me next Tuesday? I'll be able to do that then
Bruh this seems work related for you on Christmas Day that's pretty raw, take some time for yourself now y'all
If I can make some players happy by turning myself into different NPCs, saying dumb stuff, and spam-click spawning junk then I'll happily do that. It's been a tough year for so many, we'll do what we can to help.
Be safe team! Merry christmas!! Thanks for one hell of an awesome year in updates!! I cant wait to see what else is on the table for 2021, it's already shaping up to be an even bigger year for updates!!
I'm glad you enjoyed what 2020 had. I know quite a lot of players felt it was lacking, and I think that's understandable. But the team is bigger now, noobs are trained, we've adapted to remote working, and 2021 is going to be awesome.
Merry Christmas and thank you for all the hours of hard work you guys put in this year. Osrs wouldn't be possible if it was for you guys.
OSRS wouldn't be possible without all of you!
Merry christmas brother! 99.9% of the playerbase are thrilled with all the hard work you guys have done, and we know how tough this year has been too! Thanks for giving us something to distract ourselves :)
We'll keep trying to win that 0.1%. We know we aren't perfect, but we'll keep trying to improve! Merry Christmas!
Cheers this game has helped me from going crazy during lockdown!
You and me both, myasslap. I can't tell you how grateful I am to be working on this game at such a troubling time.
Thanks to the whole Old School team, love the effort you all put in and the community that has grown. Looking forward to getting the hell out of 2020 and into some 2021 content
In January's Gazette I think we're announcing four more new J-Mods! Onwards!
