Holy shit just loaded this thread up before taking flight to Chicago. This is amazing.
Glad you liked it - enjoy the flight!
Well runefest certainly fucking delivered
Happy to hear it!
Group ironman finally :D
A long time coming. So much hype.
Kieren walking back n fourth on the stage like he's Steve Jobs announcing the Apple iPhone 4 was the best thing
:D
Will ironmen be able to go in a group at the new boss? (like zalcano, raids 1/2)
That's the plan!
I am whelmed
No more, no less.
Can you change their herb drop to being unnoted? Having herbs drop noted in stacks of 1 defeats the purpose of the herb sacks.
A lot of recent monsters seem to have these noted herb drops in low amounts. It might be worth looking into this.
Hi Sage - I've passed this issue on to the team for consideration.
Wait, what day is it?
We're updating the game a day early this week since a lot of the team will be away preparing for RuneFest as of tomorrow.
I destroyed my seal of passage and can't reclaim one from the chief because I'm an exile.
He can't be seen talking to an exile in front of everyone in the longhall. Maybe you can meet up with him somewhere more discreet to get a seal.
Typo at basilisk slayer bit: “these doesn't require quest completion”
Should be “these don’t require quest completion”
Fixed, thanks!
Can we have a right click option to recharge our scepter with the mummy at pyrmid plunder? Additionally, can we make the scepter one handed since our character clearly holds it with 1 hand.
This one was suggested recently and added to the backlog :)
Let us know which questions you’d like answered on this week’s Q&A tomorrow at 5pm UK time!

It would absolutely lessen my concerns. In fact, it would basically dispel them entirely. I'm a little concerned about it creating confusion among new players, but that sounds like a fun problem for Jagex.
Just... Please don't dismiss the latest LMS poll for whiny pvmers. I voted nay to a lot of the rewards because I didn't like what they were or felt them very "out there".
Thanks for the feedback. There’s quite a few people indicating that the design/quality of the rewards was the main issue in the LMS poll.
As others have pointed out, stop trying to treat the symptoms and, instead, tackle the actual root of the problem.
What you shouldn’t be asking: “how can we make it easier for PvP updates to pass polls?”
What you should be asking: “how can we fix the fundamental design of PvP so that people won’t automatically associate it with negative thoughts, emotions, and experiences?”
The biggest issue is that PvP is heavily focused on hunting players who have no actual interest in PvP. If you move all of the PvM content out of the wilderness, then I guarantee you that a lot of the PvMers wouldn’t have such a negative attitude and opinion towards PvP in general.
TLDR; Don’t coerce PvMers into the wildy just so that PvPers can have ample opportunity for easy prey. Instead, incentivize PvPers to fight other PvPers. Make it more rewarding to kill a PvPer than it would be to kill a non-PvPer.
Thanks for that feedback - it’s a very common theme in this thread and I’ll make sure to take note.
I think the council sounds extremely questionable integrity wise. I'm not opposed to the idea of items that only work on pvp/bh worlds, but how would you limit who can vote? By bh kills? By pvp world kills?
That’s the question. What do you think it the best way to select eligible voters in the scenario?
Even if you bring equipment to anti-PK you are at a massive disadvantage against the Pker.
You now have PVM/Skilling+PVP gear in your inventory, PVM/Skilling supplies and any loot you have obtained, Versus a fully supplied PKer.
Your only chance is a lucky spec, and if it doesn't come off the only thing you can genuinely do is run.
Yeah, I agree that's a fundamental problem with putting PvM content in the Wilderness. I'd prefer we focus on PKers fighting each other instead.
