Any chance of a league this year?

This is what we said shortly before the Winter Summit, and the plans are unchanged AFAIK. Subject to change, sure, but I hope not. https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/winter-summit-2022---countdown?oldschool=1

We won't, however, be talking about the next League. There will be a League in 2023, and it'll be in the second half of the year. We plan to talk more about it once we're ready during our next roadmap update, likely the Summer Summit. We're extremely excited for the show, and we hope you join us to see the roadmap unfold!

Why wouldn't you want to let Nieve rest in peace? Why must she suffer?

Whose work is this? Gunschilli?

This is the brilliant work of our internal video team (including Mod Archie)!

We have commissioned Gunschilli for quite a bit of content in the past (and probably again in the future!) though.

If you're concerned I would suggest uninstalling the one you have, conduct scans of your device, change passwords and ensure Auth is on your account and email account, and then download it again via the OSRS site link or the Jagex Launcher.

Yep! We've got some reminders set up for people to use them before the enddate soon too.

Unsure, but I'd hate for you to miss out!

Hey Sween, I didn't know you were back until now. I see you're not on community again, but do you think you'll still semi-regularly attend streams? You are my favorite JMod on streams to listen to because you have such a wide variety of video games that you always bring up to compare or reference in your discussions. I hope we get to hear from you regularly soon!

Hey, thanks a ton, that's honestly nice to hear! I was on last week and I'll happily jump on whenever I've got something good to add, or whenever they're scraping the barrel!

You should see the event rewards we've got planned.

Sweet, I'm gonna abuse the fact that you didn't give me any scope restrictions.

First thing that comes to mind is a massive skilling overhaul.

Reviewing methods, drops, pacing, numbers, all of it. There is so much unused content and weird pacing in skilling that could make maxing more enjoyable.

As an example: Skilling has like 0 (defined) guidelines for how it should be paced and how the journey from 1-99 looks like. Some skills are dominated with the same method for 80%+ of your time spent training the skill and the other content is just gathering dust.

On top of this, the relationship between skilling and PvM in terms of resources could improve tenfold and this would be a great opportunity to do it.

The goal here is not to kill/change nostalgic content, but to allow for unsued methods, promote variety and reward players consistently.

Good answer! Miss you bud.

We give you the reins to make any unpolled change, without the responsibility of having to face the community afterwards. What unpolled change do you make?

Yea! In August I started consulting for them, along with a couple of other studios. I enjoyed it so much, and I’m so confident in what the game is going to achieve, that I accepted their offer to rejoin. My first ‘real’ day back was last Monday!

I think to keep with the thematics of the true 2007 experience, we should have a banner ad, featuring a game in which the player is prompted to swat a loud, buzzing mosquito. If ignored, the mosquito perpetually loudly buzzes. Upon swatting the mosquito, the player is redirected to a website to download a virus.

I like it! Maybe AIM and MSN built in too so you can NUDGE! your pals when they’re offline?

It’s funny how everybody has their preferred version of the sites. I have fond memories of 2004’s appearance, simple buttons in the middle of the page that then descend into a labyrinth of other pages. I remember discovering the forums and having my mind blown that it was there for months without me knowing.

I just googled runescape and the first link was play.runescape.com. It's a site with link to RS3 on left side and OSRS on the right side. I don't understand what the issue here is. Picture

Edit: The first result is actually www.runescape.com but it redirects to play.runescape.com.

Yep, the split landing page will allow players to choose RS3 or OSRS. Much better than taking up space on RS3's homepage imo. Yes, it's for first time visitors (or those without cookies), but that's who it's for. Beyond that, it isn't really needed again!

EDIT: Coming back to this! I wouldn't be opposed to see more OSRS visibility on the RS homepage, but I don't think it's the most crucial thing. We have a pretty good idea of traffic coming in, where we think they want to go, and whether they made it. However, I'd love to see - braces for impact - changes made to the OSRS homepage to bring it a bit more in line with what you'd expect today. Keep the themeatics, they're key. Don't flood it with banners and ads and whatnot. But I'm sure there's more we can do to make it work better for us, you, and new players.

So far so good! A few hundred Jagex Accounts made. We're discussing scaling the invites before we go to Open Beta. A few minor bits of feedback we hadn't seen in our internal staff test, but nothing major.

The answer lies in the rest of that Ideation Update article. Lots of 'this is just ideation, there's no guarantees it'll ever make it further than the pitch stage'. It's worth noting that since then ideation has been replaced by a game jam set-up that the team seem to enjoy more, and culminates in more detail being shared with players on livestream and surveys!

He’s back on the account and the Support team manually assisted him in regaining access.

Yes, it's a phishing attempt. Check the...

  • Incorrect username
  • The myriad of typo's in the description
  • The destination of the URL - right-click to get the URL, head to somewhere like https://wheregoes.com/ and paste it, and see that it's clearly a fake RS site

The good news is that when reported they're taken down relatively quickly. The bad news is that Twitch aren't too interested in preventative measures. This also routinely affects FFXIV creators too. A while ago we took matters into our own hands and made a tool to help identify them nearly instantly, but I believe changes to the...
