players above 2.1k total were more likely to vote no

So f**king weird to me that there's actually a significant number of people with the "NOOO I DONT WANT TO REMAX" mentality. Why did you max in the first place? I thought you liked number go up?

Edit: To clarify, I'm obviously not saying every single person above 2.1k who voted no did it for this reason lol. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the larger percentage relative to other tiers is because of this though.

I don't think that's a reasonable assumption. There are more 2.1k+ Yes voters than No voters after all. I think there's a myriad of reasons why a player would vote No, and all should be respected:

  • They might have liked Sailing but weren't convinced of the design at the time
  • They might dislike Sailing generally, or would have preferred another skill
  • They may have disliked how Sailing 'won' versus the other two skills
  • They may not believe that Old School needs another skill
  • They may not trust the team to deliver a skill to a high quality, considering it has not been done before
  • They may consider the potential for something as vast and impactful as a new skill and the negative effects it might bring
  • They may have disliked how Sailing was polled alongside other content

Obviously I'm not trying to turn anybody against Sailing, but I really dislike how No voters (and Yes voters too, I suppose) are attacked...

Good spot, thanks for sharing! We've submitted a ticket asking for it to be fixed.

A bit about it, if anybody is interested.

A long while back we launched play.runescape.com which is a bit of a 'are you looking for RS or OSRS?' page, and it's the default experience for anybody landing on runescape.com for the very first time (basically cookie-less visitors), usually it's people who played a long time ago searching for, say, 'RuneScape' but wanting to find OSRS. From there they can navigate to the Old School version (FWIW: A/B testing has confrmed it is a much superior flow versus how it used to be).

The problem here is that both RS and OSRS versions of the pages are sharing the same Membership website component, meaning its inaccurate for us. We'll get that changed.

Varlamore has me so excited. I never played the original Kourend but the revamped Kourend is just lovely and the dev team has grown so much more since. Varlmaore is going to be an absolute banger.

I'm really looking forward to fleshing out the content we've pitched here, I think it could warrant a Summit all of its own. Huge update!

I'm kinda disappointed in finally getting a new leagues and then having it be a rerun... Like if you wanted to do that why not just do it the year after leagues 3?

Would love to hear more from Jagex what the issues with developing leagues are

It's not just a copy/paste re-run, we go into a good amount of detail in terms of the new changes here: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/leagues-iv-trailblazer-reloaded?oldschool=1

Is it gonna be any different? Can't watch right now and kinda bummed if it's just a relaunch of trail blazers, I mean I loved it so much and wanted a league so bad but I feel they shouldn't have ran out of fun new ideas after just three amazing shots already.

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/leagues-iv-trailblazer-reloaded?oldschool=1 We go into the changes in quite a bit of detail in this new blog!

On August 19th, at the Summer Summit, get a first look at Old School's roadmap for the rest of the year and into early 2024!

And I just wanted to extend a huge thanks to TheSkulled for his work on the trailer!

a) 3 rolls of the vestige slot on the table
b) 2 drops of any item on the table then a roll on the vestige slot

Would be great if you could clear this up?

I'm not sure if it's in the clip, but he also said a few times that at about 5pm BST (in approx. 30 mins) there'll be a newspost which offers more detail.

If you click Settings within the Launcher you'll see the option. I also have run on start-up disabled.
Here's a screenshot. Two clicks and you're done.

Hey, this issue is known and is being investigated by the relevant team within Jagex. I'll update this if I learn more, but hopefully they'll get it sorted quickly :)

I definitely miss them! We did one a few weeks ago: https://youtu.be/DyliPJTqHqI and it was really fun. Jagex is now majority WFH (which is a brilliant thing) but there are enough of us that go in/would be willing to go in. We've chatted about trying to do even one in-studio stream at least monthly. Here's hoping!

This will be missed by anybody not sorting by New, but I’d like to thank everybody sharing their feedback (whether you’ve upgraded, or you’re choosing not to but are explaining why). It’s a long bank holiday weekend now, so I won’t be replying too much until next week. The same goes for my esteemed goblin pal.

We’ll be presenting your feedback to the teams, and will update you on the outcome.

Time for me to log off and touch grass (stop working and log in to RS).

It will be soon. As for why, it does require some work to get it on the Launcher, and the team who do that were busy with this Beta.

That's fair enough, and we do try to address that in the blog.

This does sound promising, is this system well tested and reliable? I assume this is the login system rs3 uses and should thus be reliable

Also, can we finally have long passwords with a jagex account? I usually like to run 64 or 128 characters alphanumeric+special characters and I believe that in osrs it just truncates your password to like 20 characters and doesent even tell us

atleast thats how it was last time I registered some years back (why even limit it so low, are passwords not hashed but stored as fixed length strings in the database? Lol, I assume that's not the reason, though worries me regardless)

We J-Mods were the very first guinea pigs. I moved my accounts to a Jagex one back in December. We tried it before any players did.

And yes, password improvements are just one part of the security changes that come with Jagex Accounts.

Am I the only person that's very suspicious that all this talk of security is really a smokescreen for jagex to gain massively more control over our accounts? Now we won't be able to play on alternate clients -- what if runelite gets substantially worse and now an alternate client can't exist? What if jagex acquires runelite? Is jagex going to use the launcher in the way other games companies do: to promote other games and special offers?

Also, I'm not sure if I value the additional 'security' more than I value the possibility of getting support if I lose access to my account. I'm not sure if this move really benefits players, or rather serves as an excuse for jagex to save money providing what little support it currently does. Backup codes don't really give me much comfort -- so if a bad actor got access to my backup codes, they'd be able to totally steal my account with no recourse?

I'm skeptical.

We already 'own' your accounts, I'm not sure more control we would want, really.

You ask questions about the Launcher. One thing it does fantastically well is ensure verification of people connecting to the game client (and RuneLite - whom we have a great relationship with, and are on the Launcher!), meaning we can ensure much smoother world-hopping etc. I do not envision a world in which we drown you with ads and offers. We want you to play Old School.

Having only your back-up code wouldn't give somebody access to your account, no. But do not give the back-up codes to anybody...

At the end of the day, you're going to remain sceptical. All I can do is say... this isn't a powerplay. It's an expensive initiative that costs money (via resource/time/tooling investment) rather than saving money.

Is this true? If your account is compromised and the hacker creates a jagex account using it - are you permanently screwed over?

Sounds like a big oversight if it's irreversible and irrecoverable, but I know that the tweet may not have accurately represented the system.

If a RuneScape account (and the email it's registered to) was already compromised, it could be added to a Jagex Account, yes.

They are not permanently screwed over though.

We haven't overlooked this, there's a bespoke Support contact route and queue to get those sorted. And once those people who have been hijacked are on a Jagex Account then this won't happen again.
