Not too surprising since it is a bit off-topic and probably not something they are pursuing. That said, I was thinking about it the other day and it is kind of shocking they haven't done more with the IP. Like in their push for mobile games, Arcanists seemed like a perfect fit.

The honest answer is that a RuneScape team or an Old School team aren't going to be announcing other Jagex projects. That news will always come from official Jagex sources (Jagex.com for example). We work exclusively on our games and share news exclusively about our games. That's why you'd get ignored.

Releases like Steam (and 2018's Mobile launch) puts us in front of huge audiences. We hope a Steam ensures a healthy amount of players coming into the game, whether new or players who played years ago.

We're not ready to talk features/QoLs yet. We're still some way from when we want to launch on Steam (https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/news/59Cgic/runescape-and-old-school-are-heading-to-steam - 2021), but we'll share more when we can.

f**k steam, let's hope it won't kill osrs

Why/how d'you think it'd kill Old School?

Old School will be coming to Steam, but not at the same time: https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/news/59Cgic/runescape-and-old-school-are-heading-to-steam

We've got more work to do first. We'll talk a bit about that in tomorrow's monthly Gazette and the Leadership Livestream with me, MikeD, and Kieren!

Hey Sween, has the Q&A stream been delayed until tommorow? Thanks

Yep. We'll be live 4-5pm. RuneScape are live today, we'll be live tomorrow. :)

We'll be talking about our plans for Steam in tomorrow's Gazette and Leadership Livestream (with me, MikeD, and Kieren). We're some way away from releasing, so we haven't much much to share, but we'll explain why we're waiting.

Exciting!

The Clan Warring Dome!

Thanks! Would be nice for people who got diary done before 256 KC to have any use at all for the tattered KQ head. Then again, it was only added to avoid a drystreak locking you out of the diary, so maybe that's the only use it should have.

Tattered will be fine :)

What is a Kalphite head? Are we talking KQ head? (if so, would tattered work?)

Edit: blog updated to answer this

Keris: Attach a Kq head (including Tattered Kq head, but not the stuffed variety) to test the maximum hit of the keris against Kalphites and Scarabites

Original when I commented:

Keris: Attach a Kalphite head to test the maximum hit of the keris against Kalphites and Scarabites

It does mean Kq head (blog edited now), and I'm querying whether it'd apply to Tattered/Stuffed tattered too. Will edit accordingly.

I just checked, it's just the german translation

Apparently someone used the portuguese text for the german notification

u/JagexSween u/JagexAcorn just letting you guys know

Passed it on, it's an Amazon/Prime Gaming thing. Early morning for them though. I expect it'll be fixed later this evening!

Still no use for rare fossils?

There's a lot of content that could happen in 2021 (thanks to our growing team!), and I'm confident we'll be able to explore what to do with fossils long-term, but in the meantime we'd like to offer this smaller quality of life tweak.

Never should've come here!

This is great. I saw a draft earlier in the month on OSRSmaps and was hoping we'd get to see the finished article!

Comment

It was just a quick idea, so I'm interested to see this discussed further. My initial thoughts:

Would players want or expect a lot of the QoL that OSRS has seen over the years? Think about things like the Farming timer.

Would the end-game meta be a bit stale? Unless I'm missing something focus would be GWD.

I'm glad you guys are taking the rev caves stuff seriously.

That said, I think a big part of the problem was missed. If anything demands massive groups hold every server at all hours, that in itself means it is overpowered. There is a way to tune the content so people still farm it, and pking to clear it out occasionally is profitable, without it being such a stupid money farm 24/7.

Personally I think (without having the data) a combination of things we mentioned like re-mapping the area and revising the loot will hit the right balance you mention.

Well my 3rd age pieces are from the melee and ranged sets which weren't singularly-storable before, so I'll be in the same position.

This exact situation is why many of us were making calls for all megarares to be storable without the set. It seems fair to me that any once-in-a-lifetime item should act this way.

My understanding of the content work we're going to undertake is that we'll be splitting all sets of 3rd Age items. I'll seek more information and edit this message to reclarify if needed.
