Staff stats will be fixed on Monday
Welcome. Seems like Mod North is a scaper like all of us, should fit in perfect!
He very much is - we must have talked for a good hour about RS at RuneFest until I realised I had to urgently run backstage to go present RS Ahead 😂
I always thought it was pretty special to have a CEO like Pips who plays and knows our game, and I absolutely see that in Mod North.
u/JagexHooli Are the rotational cosmetics in the oddments store going to be updated? It has been a year since the rotation system was released and the stock is long overdue for an update.
Sorry about the delayed reply, post-RF travel home!
I haven't heard anyone chat about this - I'll bring it up to some teams and see if we can take a look. Thanks for raising it.
so you just going to casually stroll back into the rs3 scene without letting us know? if you are back, welcome back missed having you around!
Well you made my morning, kind of you to say!
I've been around and lurking big time. I'm just working a lot more behind the scenes now that CM is a much bigger part of how we approach RuneScape - with Yuey and Azanna as the lovely folks who get to live in the community day to day with you.
They'll still be the main folks you hear from, but I do want to find more time to be part of the community directly than I have been able to find recently.
Always spyin' on ya though 🕵️
No offense Hooli, but this message is a load of crap. Ya’ll said this exact thing 3 months ago, including that a new letter would be out in under a month. No new letter, and 0 communication since. Until any real change in comms happen, this playerbase should not beleive yours, or any mods words towards MTX
Yeah I get it. I do apologise for that - we were about to post something at that point in early October and a lot changed very quickly. I should have at least popped in that thread to at least say 'it's going to take much longer'.
I still don't have a firm date for when you'll next hear something, but that's because the previous ambition of a Consultancy ramping up in September onwards was over-zealous. Next time we talk about it, it has to be something you can see or feel. I also very much hope we can talk about 'why the delay' as well.
Read moreSurely, you have to realize that we've heard this time and time again.
You guys have been discussing MTX/monetization for years at this point. Is there an actual plan to address it, or are we just going to have the carrot dangled in front of us while the game continues to slowly bleed out?
Yeah I definitely do understand that and the skepticism / disbelief is our own doing.
Just wanted to let folks know the intent behind exploring change and the Consultancy commitment still exist. To your point, we need to communicate something firm with action next - words are empty if we keep saying 'it's coming'.
We will continue maintaining fairness in the in-game economy, ensuring that updates respect the balance of the game world, with transparency in our decisions, and a willingness to explore meaningful changes to MTX offerings in RuneScape.
Mod North's first major task in building trust with the RS3 community is quite simple - do what Pips failed to do and prove that bolded bit. Give us the MTX follow-up and a tangible discussion on meaningful change to the game's monetisation strategy
This is something that was still happening under Pips. It's something we're looking at seriously, and that will continue under Mod North.
The biggest thing is we need to be communicating on it. You will hear more from us on this in the future, it's not dead. Hopefully we can do that sooner rather than later.
We want to let you know about an important leadership transition that will shape the future of Jagex.
Mod Pips (Jagex CEO) will be stepping back from his role to take a well-deserved break after 14 incredible years together.
Mod North will be rejoining Jagex as our new CEO, with a firm commitment to maintaining our existing approach to both games and what makes them special.
Hear from both Mod Pips and Mod North in our new blog & video.

Heya, yeah it's additive, so the 2nd unlock will mean +10% overall
Uh, Cywir is supposed to give 2 essence, right? I broke down 1... and it gave me two. But when I broke down the second it only gave me 1. Send help D:
Hi hi, do you mind sending me your RSN so that i can send to our teams to verify?
The bug was hotfixed not long after update so this shouldn't occur but it's always possible something was missed. Although, some items will intentionally give 1 essence if it has a low degrade % when broken down.
Bug:
Unable to get enchanted key from Jorral after being told to by "myself" at the new alter. The enchanted key is not in bank, quest caravan or keyring. I completed those quests I used it for many years ago and guess I destroyed it for bank space.
This may be because you have mjolnirs in your bank. You'll need to get rid of them somehow before reclaiming the key. We have a ticket to fix this issue
Why masterwork staff has t95 accuracy rather than t100? Atleast according to skillguide in game
This is a bug which we've got a ticket to fix :)
We had a really fun time getting creative about the time rune lore and how you access the temple, how it changes on each entry etc.
All praise goes to Mod Alex for the environment work for the temple, he did a crazy amazing job on it
Edit: Came back to extend credit to Mod Dbarker, who was responsible for, and did an insane job with, the concept art of the temple
Hey hey, thanks for reporting! We have a ticket in to fix this :)
SIR
THIS IS RUNESCAPE
Appreciate it, was worried how I was going to prove without taking pictures of the items I already broke down.
Ty again for responding
No worries!
when is the hot fix comingf
Hotfix is out and we now have a list of all affected accounts that we've passed on to the relevant team
It's unintentional, we've got a ticket to fix it
