Are you guys aiming for the next league to be open around Nov/Dec like TL? Or would it be some time next year?
The aim is this year. That's all I'll say so far

No update today? PvP world rota didn’t switch
My personal opinion: don’t waste time on bounty hunter. Ideally find a way to encourage people to pk in PvP worlds where it’s 1v1, but not encouragement through extra financial gain as it will just be abused
No update today. Tomorrow morning.

"Remove High Risk worlds, replace with Very High Risk worlds: We'd still like to proceed with this. It's possible that it might happen alongside the release of the Wilderness Hub (see below)."
Would this mean worlds like 365 are being swapped out for another world where you lose all your items?
If that is the case, please keep in mind that many people use world 365 because of the stability of the world, and I'm sure a large majority are not PvPers. Removing one of your best worlds, that is used heavily by even people in the US because of it's consistency, in favour of a super high risk would probably not work well.
Also taking into account that a lot of people that are PvMing aren't using protect item anyways, which is why it's not a compromise to use that world. Please consider leaving 365 untouched, and possibly adding another world.
So if we were to keep 365 untouched (but remove the High Risk flag), and assign the Very High Risk flag to another world, you'd be okay with the change?
This is a long one, and I think it's a ton of quality content.
- The usual update on the projects we're working on.
- A peek at the work on the Clans update.
- A follow-up from the March PvP Vision. We confirm that we aren't going to remove PvP Worlds, there's a cool LMS map concept, we talk about a possible solution to the Bounty Hunter issues, and a new area in the Wilderness called Ferox' Enclave.
- Some insight in our efforts to secure a consistent 'Old School' art style.
- Say hello to two new J-Mods!
Craving more league info 😬
We're not ready to start sharing just yet, but soon I hope!
New LMS map looks dope.
I'm not so sure about the Wilderness Hub - I like the concept, and the graphics/map - but "hubs" for minigames (e.g. Gamers Grotto in RS3) feel too artificial to me.
I wasn't a fan of the Grotto in the slightest, it was far too small and it felt weird to be there.
I feel like we've achieved something that feels quite natural here, but it's a very good point you raised.
Hi all. A few reasons for the minor changes. It'll be back to normal as of next week!
We wanted to make a number of changes to Darkmeyer content, but we wanted to give ourselves more time to get it tested (and prevent it being released next week instead).
It's a pretty long Gazette and needed more time to get by our Editorial team.
I was due to host the Q&A but I'm feeling rather unwell today. The questions in Mod Acorn's Q&A thread will still be asked on Friday (she's edited the thread text too).
Shiba's second link takes you to the Support Centre. Searching something like 'ban' would have sent you to this page: https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002238729-Account-Bans.
At the bottom you're able to appeal the ban. If you were hijacked at the time of the ban then you'll be unbanned!
Hi all.
We've investigated the cause of the clan chat disruption.
It was an unintended effect of planned maintenance. There was a necessary reboot of a module that we thought was unrelated.
We'd like to apologise for any disruption, and for not communicating prior to beginning maintenance.
You shouldn't encounter any further issues. Apologies again.
Is there a way to do it without canceling the membership entirely? I still want to play until the subscription is done.
Cancelling your subscription doesn't end your membership there and then. We don't take away the membership that you've paid for.
But my brother who had the same thing happened to him after buying a bond and getting charged an international fee, initiated a chargeback. His account got banned and to get it unbanned he was forced to pay the international fee as well not just the bond price. So there has to be a way for you guys to add a warning for international fees on the cart if you are forcing players to pay it.
We wouldn't make anybody pay international fees. When chargebacks are made we put their accounts in a status called 'negative credit'. It's not a ban, but it does stop the account being played.
It's done to prevent people from buying something, charging it back, and then simply getting it for free. In the event you ever want your money back then submit a payment support ticket for a refund here: https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000982997-Request-a-Refund.
I'd encourage you to contact your bank to see how they handle international transactions and whether you can forego fees.
Read moreWe don't add additional transaction fees - the price you see in the store is the price you pay. In your statement does the fee originate from Jagex or from your bank? We're based in the UK, so some smaller banks might add international fees, but that's very unusual.
Hey! They'll get to your ticket, and it's like u/barungszszs says, they'll remove the permanent status but you'll need to then do the de-Ironing in-game which takes seven days.
Ordinarily they get to Ironman support tickets in less than a day, but with the influx of players under lockdown it's taking longer than usual. They've been able to increase the size of their team, but that took longer than it would usually (onboarding and training new staff under lockdown is doable, but just a bit trickier).
Is there any particular reason why the partnerships survey in the ingame mailbox was silently sent out with zero announcement, plus what appears to be a gag order on content creators?
It went to just over 44,000 players, all chosen because they voted in last year's Partnerships poll and they've been recently active. We wanted initial feedback from the voters last time before we pitch anything solid. There was no accompanying messaging because we did not want to lead anybody's way of thinking.
Content creators received a separate survey (same questions) at the same time we began sending them to the players mentioned above. There was no gagging, we said they could make content on the questions if they wanted to.

We talk about it most weeks. It's also worth noting that we only announced it at last year's RuneFest rather than years ago. Each month's Gazette has a project update section, Group Ironman is included: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/gielinor-gazette-may-2020?oldschool=1
Update on group ironmen please!

What they do is against the rules, and the anti-cheating team do ban/mute them. Keep reporting them when you see them!
