Thank you for the reassurance, I’ve personally been on a bit of a break due to burnout from the comp(t) grind and other priorities in life taking precedent. Been a bit reluctant about any sort of return due to the recent issues that have arisen in the community.
Regardless, thank you for all you’ve done in creating a big piece of my childhood. Questing has been my favorite aspect of RuneScape since I started playing back in ‘08. Good luck on your next adventure!
<3
Thanks mate, you've always been a real joy to interact with, and thank you for all the time and energy you gave us, and thanks again for the beers at Runefest, can't believe that was nearly 10 years ago!
<3
I'm gonna miss you, granny Raverington! <3
<3
"to come" as in not yet added to the game, or in game but not yet found?
Not yet added to the game. :)
Best of luck in your new job. you have made a big impact on the game, in my opinion. Your story has brought you through many parts of Runescape creation (from support to development). i will be sad to see you go.
<3
Something to look forward to from our glorious overlord even after he has left.
Wishing you all the best on your future endeavors, and may Zaros have mercy on your future victi... I mean creations.
<3
Are you able to share where you're moving to?
Not for the moment. I'll tweet that nearer the time. Don't want to effectively advertise another company on here, would feel rude to Jagex who I still very much like. :)
Ka-kaw's out of respect
Ka kaw!
I don't know how I'll be able to quest without equipping Ravensworn and obsessively checking for easter eggs anymore...
I almost had all the POF -sworn achievements too.
It won't quite be the same without you, Raven. It's always a loss to see a dev whose passionate about quests leave, but after 15 years it's more than understandable.
I hope you have a great time, wherever you're moving to!
Oh there are still a few ravensworn easter eggs to come. One of them isn't even my fault. :D
A one time offer to sell your soul for power ... You get 1 xp and 1 gp
Oh man, I should have done that...
Thank you, friend, for all you've done for this game!
<3
Thanks for being awesome! I can't speak for others but I assume they hold the same sentiment.
All the best with every future endeavor!
<3
Is it not mildly concerning that two veteran JMods are leaving within just as many days, in addition to those who have left in somewhat recent months (though I'm blanking on names so don't ask me, but correct me if I'm wrong)?
Honestly, it's entirely a coincidence. Seriously. I actually got the offer a couple of months back, but hung around to get some last things in place and finish the quest.
It's pure coincidence. Jagex is still doing well and there are some really cool things coming in the next few months/years so please don't assume something bad is going on. Pure coincidence.
So, the quest is on the horizon? That’s one bit of good news, but this doesn’t make me any less sad that you’re leaving!
Horizon does not mean "anytime soon". Just so you're aware. But they lore mods have promised to raise it at every opportunity. :D
But raven was the only good mod left... That's it, as if recent times havnt been a downward spiral enough, the game's utterly screwed now
There are loads of great mods still at Jagex. All of the devs are passionate and really want to create some great content. Sure, things won't always be perfect, for everyone, but I assure you the game is in excellent hands.
An amazing person, he'll be sorely missed
<3
Sad to see him go but he deserved a better job, better pay. Best of luck Mod Raven! 👍
<3
You and your content are what gave me hope after the departure of Mod Osborne, and your stories and mystery are what have kept my love for this game strong even in the days where I thought I was drifting away from it.
You’ll be missed, incredibly so. But I wish you luck in all your future endeavors, you magnificent troll, you.
<3
You're in good hands still, the lore council have some great plans. :)
Raven leaving, and we still don't have a Granny Potterington pet that rolls around behind us... truly this is the darkest timeline...
In all seriousness, big loss for the game, but glad Raven has a new and seemingly passionate opportunity in front of him. Hope to be able to use/play/see his content outside of RS in the future.
<3
You should totally pitch a Granny Potterington bobblehead the next time someone asks for pet ideas. ;)
