If you don't mind asking, how much of your free time did it take for Curse of the Black Stone, roughly?
I gave up several weekends and stayed late most nights for at least a month. I don't remember exactly, I wasn't testing how long it took to make so I wasn't really recording that.
Read moreWhile I appreciate the sentiment behind this post, it isn't needed. For one the community has been totally fine with me for a good while now and the death threats are largely gone.
Secondly, you'll note that I have made quests since Endgame and I am still an active member of the lore council and constantly suggest quests be added to the release schedule.
So you don't need to worry about me, I'm good. ;)
The problem is that quests can seem like a poor investment. They're, by design, limited pieces of content (you can only do them once) and often have requirements that can make the engagement with them seem lower. They also take a lot of time to develop, often as much as a new boss or piece of skilling content. This is doubly problematic when you consider that quests often need new graphical assets and graphical assets take a lot of time to develop and those resources need to be prioritised between things like new skills.
This is why I experimented ...
Whoever gave this platinum, I appreciate you too! <3 Thank you!
If then the community stops being toxic to mod raven because they didn't like the maze in a certain quest that had a pretty good narrative and conclusion.
It can be pretty demotivating to get send death threats over something you spend months of your life on writing and developing.

Thanks Daddy Obo for all your wacky ideas, you're truly one of a kind, you embody what RuneScape is, you think out of the box and that isn't something most people are able to do. You keep things fresh and entertaining and your enthusiasm is infectious. Your writing is also a wonder to behold.
Thanks Mod Jack for your detailed work and your ability to listen. You are able to come up with solutions that truly solve the heart of the issues that face the community and the game. You are detailed and measured, a quality that every successful team needs.
Thanks Mod Ian for your passion in music and sound. Your role often gets overlooked or passed over in discussions on discord or reddit, etc, but this is due to the impeccable quality of your work. Thank you.
Thank you Mod Pi, you're legendary. The impact you've had on the game is legendary, truly it is impossible to name all the contributions you've had on the game and community and...

That note was 100% done by Mod Raven. I have a strange feeling about it.
Nope, not me. :D
For those of us who don’t have discord, will this info be out in an “official” Jagex location?
At this stage, no, it's just me gathering some ideas and it is in no way a guaranteed content system. There is a thread for suggestions on the forums (and I did link it here) if you want to put ideas up outside of discord (though discord is where there's more feedback from players currently).
But at this stage it's still just a general musing/information gathering stage and not official plans.
Raven ranked 4th, but #1 in my eyes.
<3
Placating to imagined slights does more harm than good in my opinion. Either way though, not a big deal.
I disagree. There was the chance to make the game experience better for some at literally no cost to any other players (the joke has not been removed, just rejigged).
It cost me a cup of tea, I'm ok with that price.
Thank you for using your time to fix REAL issues with the game
Took about 12 seconds to fix to be fair, hardly even classes as time spent. I was going to make a cup of tea but did this instead.
Ironically checking/replying to these posts took longer. ;)
So this isn't a trans joke. I can see where you're coming from with the wording being similar to the meme, but this wasn't the intention.
As I recall the writer of this joke was referencing a subclass of the furry fandom, with scaleys being furries who have avatars that are lizards or dragons or similar, rather than a gender/pronoun choice. So at this point Sliske was hitting on the guard by implying they're part of the furry community, nothing more.
I'll put a job in to tweak the wording, but this was absolutely not intended as a trans joke.
What if it was all raven themed?
- Teleport to ravens on southeastern PoF pen
- Teleport to ravens on Tuska's back near the Mazcab portal
- Teleport to Jagex HQ
- A giant statue of a raven for those who have all Ravensworn items and titles
- An orchestra of ravens making raven noises
- New decor to remind people of the glory of the raven and how smart they are even as birds
As tempting as this is, it's probably not the way this update should go. Though I may try and sneak a ravensworn easter egg in somewhere. ;)

Tempting....
Read moreChange the boss portal to a "convenient places that are awkward to get to" portal (i'd like that to be the name of the portal please).

This is an interesting take on the portals concept, I like it.
- A portal for teleporting to tuna fishing spots
- A giant statue of a tuna fish for people to behold
- A built-in refrigerator and kitchen counter on which to prepare tuna sandwiches at any given moment
- An orchestra consisting of mogres for performing the national anthem of the Empire of Tuna
- New decor to remind the foolish people of Gielinor of the glory of tuna fish
I judge you.
Read moreNot sure if by "no new graphics" you mean the layout of the guild can't change (i.e. it couldn't be made larger).
If that was the case then it kind of limits what could be offered in the max guild to mostly passive benefits, so we'd be talking xp boosts or VoS style boosts to skills. Just offering a flat XP boost to skilling is pretty lame (and not really fitting - none of the other guilds offer xp boosts for skilling).
If the layout of the max guild could be expanded slightly, maybe making it slightly larger in the middle area so you could have 2 skilling stands to the east and west of the banking/ge stand. These could be customisable by the player (like invention machines in the guild), and the player could choose to build (for example) a flatpack bench, an invention bench, maybe even portables-style hotspots via invention components (finally enabling players to make portables without relying on MTX).
It would be nice if there was another skilling porta...
Honestly adjusting the layout is one of the reasons I have limited graphics as a thing. It's unlikely we'd be able to change the floorplan of the guild so i want people thinking about things that wouldn't need that.
Portals is obviously one of the big things I'm looking at. We have some thoughts of skilling portals but I'd really love more ideas from you guys. What would you want portals to do?
This is tough when you say "no new graphics". You could make it a skiller area by adding anvils, trees, rocks, etc, but there is no room for any of that unless the guild is expanded or had a basement added. You could add a passive exp bonus to all skills while inside the guild I guess?
I feel like the max guild is fine as it is - does it really need to be amazing? The max cape by itself is already a big reward with its stats and ability to store 3 skillcape perks. Free teleport right next to the bank/GE. The guild will still have a slightly cheaper boss portal. I think maxing is still a worthwhile achievement based on those.
I'd love to know what the jmods currently have for ideas. Maybe give us a better idea on what you're looking for with suggestions.

I'm deliberately not doing this at the moment as it tends to lead and focus the discussion from players exclusively on those suggestions. I want an open discussion so we can get a sense of where the major themes from players are and refine down based on that.
This is just the initial stage of discussion as well. Once we have a clearer plan and design I'll be aiming to bring that to the playerbase to so they can check it meets what they're looking for.
I love it!
Mod raven, I just wanted to say I love everything you do. I literally read that in your voice, in the same way you talked in the month ahead video a while back.
<3
My advice.
Step back. Relax. Breathe.
What do you want out of the game? There's no right or wrong way to play runescape (yes reddit, you heard me, you can still enjoy yourself inefficiently).
Do you want to delve into the stories? Quests are a good way to go, start with the blood pact and then follow your quest list. Quests are a good way to level and they'll teach you about the game and the world quite nicely.
Do you want to focus on PvE? Then get some gear and go do slayer. Murder creatures in droves and work your way up to the giant mole, then from there expand to other bosses. Try your hand at the elite dungeons in story mode first and then you'll be better prepared for the dungeons proper.
Want a more laid back approach? What's your favourite skill? Do you want to craft your own gear? Mining and smithing (have you heard about the mining and smithing update?) has been reworked, so it's now easier and more engaging to dive in. So you ...
