Have you tried using the "osrs soa" friends chat? It'll help you pair up with the opposing gang.

Basically like how most podcasts are run on twitch.

Yep, that's the sort of thing we're discussing now. I'd expect a stream of sorts, but we have to consider internet/audio/video quality of any participants.

Yesterday we made a change which meant that low killcounts may not appear on the hiscores. This is to help its performance in the short-term.

Recently, the Old School RuneScape HiScores have been under immense load, which is causing issues like HiScores failing to update or even open, and extremely long page loading times. This has only been an issue since the introduction of the Boss HiScores, and so we’ve made a small adjustment which we hope will fix the issue.

Previously, when a player who had killcounts but hadn't played since the introduction of Boss HiScores logged out, the system would perform lots of calculations to figure out where they belonged on the HiScore table. From now on, players who fail to reach a minimum killcount value will not be listed on the HiScores, which means that fewer comparisons will be made. This has the dual effect of making HiScores more competitive than ever!

This change should solve the loading iss...

Funny thing is, and I mean I genuinely had a chuckle given the context of it all, the sweater is an XL.

And I'm completely fine with that. Christmas sweaters are meant to be worn three sizes too big.

That was my logic in packing it! (my Jagex Christmas jumper is a comfy XXL!)

/u/JagexSween PLEASE don't stop doing this. This is utterly amazing, and exactly the kind of communication we need as a playerbase. This makes us feel like our $11 was worth it.

Also, please DM me the name of a Mod who's most actively involved with trying to improve PVP as I have a rough-idea for getting noobie players into PVP despite the massive learning curve and I'd like it to be chewed on by someone who cares.

Feel free to send me a message or email [email protected]. I'll chew.

Baby dragons now have their colour in their name in order to help colourblind players determine which is which.

I was just yesterday thinking that we need more Kourend quests. Very happy to read about the development of that and hope that the quest is another iconic old school quest like MM2 or DS2!

The quest we mentioned won't be of the same scale as MM2 or DS2, but it's the next in the storyline which ultimately will (hopefully) lead to a Grandmaster finale (like MM2 or DS2)!

a w45 dmm reset is long overdue, but please keep it permanent instead of seasonal. many hate questing already as is and having to do quests and train skills all over again every few months is an instant turn off.

removal of pvp worlds is not a good idea, don't do it. for one, risk fighters having to relocate to wilderness will just kill risk fighting as a whole

no soul wars, no stealing creations (i know this wasn't mentioned but w/e), both were hot garbage

One of the reasons we're considering a seasonal aspect is because we aren't confident that resetting the server wouldn't just result in the same thing happening again. I'd really only want to reset it on a seasonal basis if we can provide advantages to players who consistently play (to make the things you mentioned easier).

Why is the removal of PvP worlds a bad idea?

I said something similar on a Q&A a while back. Back when I was a player I remember training Magic by barraging bots at spawns. We'd do everything we could to offset this. It's worth noting that we aren't necessarily saying that the rewards will be the same.

Soul wars would be great though I think there'd need to be a few minor changes to the xp rewards (if they are still offered) to not affect current 10hp/unique builds.

One idea would be a 40cb requirement (same as pest control) either for the game or just a req for claiming xp.

We fully expect to have the rewards conversation. For now, we just wanted to show the results of an experiment.

Why do you feel that way?

Please don’t remove PvP worlds. They allow for so much variety that isn’t possible in the wilderness. Removing them won’t make people go to the wilderness it’ll just make them quit.

the wilderness. Removing them won’t make people go to the wilderness it’ll just make them quit.

What variety/qualities that are unique and can't be replicated? Genuinely asking.

Uhhh.. am I the only one who doesn't see a GIF? This is my page in that area: https://i.imgur.com/YFuj1y6.png

Huh. That might be my error. Let me try and fix that...

Yep, the second one now says 'growth'.

I'm a bit confused by your wording, but this breakdown might help.

  • Each account has a login. The login can be a username (if it was made before 2010) or an email (if it was made after 2010). This login cannot ever change, it will remain the login forever.
  • Each account has a registered email. This dictates where we send emails to. This can change at any point. The registered email can be the same email that is registered to other accounts you own, or it could even be the same email address that's used for another account's login email.

I like bad analogies.

  • Let's say the login is like your name, and the registered email is like your address. If you change where you live, then we'll still address you by your name but it'll just be sent to a different place.

Here are some examples:

  • Account A (Bob) has a login email which is ...

We give out thousands upon thousands with every Christmas/birthday event. I'd expect that to be a regular fixture. They aren't the partyhats of old.
