What sort of gamer are you?
I’d encourage you to just have fun with it! Look at your Quest log and use that to inform what you train and work on. Make friends, be social. But be wary of anybody promising things which sound too good to be true.
That said, if you have a history of playing MMOs and you want to get to the good stuff you could follow this: ...
Read moreGOTR is great. Particularly when you think 'okay, one more game and then bed time' but then the portal is there at the end and you don't want to miss out on that XP so you play for another two hours.
So many very, very nice comments! I've replied to some, where there's an answer warranted, but I can't possibly reply to all of you. Just know that it makes me smile, and reaffirms my decision to come back. Thanks so much!
How many Jmods have quit and come back to Jagex so far? Just two?
Hmm, on the OSRS side I count five and may be overlooking some.
Job market that bad huh?
Explained in another comment, but the industry is a funny one. Once you're in, you're in. Consultancy was going very, very well but this role and offer made a lot of sense for me. Happy to be back!
Gz
Are you guys in the market for QA?
Had a look, seems like there's a senior analyst gig available: https://jobs.lever.co/jagex
Check out the 'RS Old School' section.
Welcome back! Can we please have a - barbarian assault 2 - new clothing / haircut options - a new skill..
Did you see the game jam section in the recent Gazette? Lots of haircuts and whatnot: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/gielinor-gazette---november-ish-2022?oldschool=1
Hell yes sween! Happy to see you back and if you're excited I sure am. Will miss you on the community team though!
I'm lucky enough to work very closely with the community team, they'll be sick of me (if they aren't already) in no time.
Permanently?
I won't say permanent, it's not a life-long contract! But it's on a full-time, permanent basis, and I'm very happy with the new role.
Yayyy!! Sween is the best! Hopefully we can see you on a stream some time!
I think that's likely!
Ofc they come crawling back, not as ez to get a decent job in this business as it was in 2018 ay
I was cap in hand, like Oliver Twist!
It's a funny industry though, once you're in, you're in. Quite a lot of roles out there! Consultancy was going very well, but coming back made sense.
Well honestly I've had more ads for private servers than the real osrs, and i've never played a private server.
That's not good. But it makes sense that you're shown something that you don't play, but have related interests in. Rather than shown something that you already play.
This is the only unpolled integrity change that I think the whole community would support.
If it helps, there was a panel interview so it was kinda voted on.
Can someone explain how certain worlds need “maintenance” while others can remain operational?
I'm not very technical, but in layman's speak... the worlds are hosted on different servers in different locations. Rather than just take them all offline at once, we can turn off one location, work on those worlds, and players can play on other worlds at the same time. Maintenance was already done on UK and German worlds.

Read moreThis is very self-indulgent, and I'm sure nobody cares, but I'm coming back to Jagex.
I've been lucky enough to have been doing some marketing consulting for the Old School team over the past few months, and I'm super stoked to say that I'll be rejoining the team permanently next month.
What I've seen has got me excited for the future of Old School, and I think you're going to love what we've got to show in the Summit.
I won't be returning to the community team, instead I'll be spending my time doing more marketing bits. I know you all think we're really pants at Marketing, so it'll be me that you get to complain to! That said, I hope you've enjoyed the stuff you've seen recently that I've had a hand in, culminating in the Summit this weekend.
External link →Great feedback, have passed it to the team working on the game client. Thanks!
thank you
it was great to be had by you all
Idk if he took it seriously, but I still find it hilarious that he pointed out that it wasn't the reason for him leaving.
Flippy been on the duel arena schemes with Sween and now they both retire when the 10m cap comes out. No more protection money coming in from the sand casino mafia. I knew it. Smart move, would be a bit more sus if you guys left right after the cap.
I was being super serial
