Hi all,

I'm sad to say that today is the day I say goodbye to Jagex and the wonderful RuneScape community.

I've had first-hand experience with the level of dedication that some RuneScape players have. I have witnessed you being angry, ecstatic, and critical, as well as defending the J-Mods from particularly hostile comments. You should never let go of the enthusiasm you have for the game, regardless of the circumstances.

Although my time here was brief, I feel that we made some lasting memories together. I came to Jagex as a seasoned Community manager, but I still picked up a lot of important knowledge from you. Really appreciate it. I value your brutal honesty and openness as well.

Best wishes to you, from me. Adieu!

Death is changing in RuneScape. 2022 was focused on reflection and research, and now we're ready to bring the transformations in 2023! Read on for all the latest on the project.

You're right, I'm sorry. The link is broken because the title was changed.

Finally, we managed to decipher the whole sneak peek - and uncovered a few skeletons in the closet! Necromancy, RuneScape’s 29th skill is coming in 2023! The hype is real!

Guessing the stream tomorrow will be revealing the new skill which I can only assume is Detectivery

Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc from the new murder mystery movie series Knives Out! The newest one just came out and it’s a real treat. Murder mysteries are a blast - the pic just means I’m excited :)

Thank you. I suppose I should watch this film.

Fantastic work on all the clues so far, folks. The next mystery is a picture of King Roald. Enigmatic!

To clear up any ambiguity, there's a note attached. It reas as follows:

"The construction of Fort Forinthry is complete! To celebrate, King Roald request that you host a banquet for the Misthalin royal family and assorted nobility. As if the usual political machinations of the Kingdom's elite weren't enough, the evening takes a sinister turn when one of the nobles is murdered at the banquet table! The gates are barred for the night; no one may leave or enter.

Can you and your wannabe-detective butler identify the murderer before dawn breaks?"

Looks like we're in for a detective story!

There's just one more section of this document to uncover now. Take a well-earned break, 'Scapers, because this one's on us. The document's final section will be revealed during ...

Please continue because I'm not getting it. :)

We’ve uncovered some long-lost plans and blueprints! Ummmmmm...

What was the second clue? It should show on the website, I could not see it in time...

It was more of an assignment than a clue.

Greetings,

You will most likely view my explanation as an excuse, and perhaps it is.

It was a typical Saturday for me, with the usual chores around the house and some of the other activities that I like to do when I'm not working. I was still required to log in to bring the newspost up to date and provide you with a new snippet of information regarding what's going to happen in 2023. This is when I first found out about the problems with the server. I am sorry that we did not inform you about the problems with the server in a more timely manner. There was no malice or anything of the sort intended at any point.

Although we do care about you very much, there are some circumstances that are beyond our control and therefore beyond our ability to prevent them.

We are also just regular people who have lives and responsibilities outside of our work, so on weekends, when we have the opportunity to step away from our computers, we do so.

Please accept our deepest apologies for this inc...

Did you get an answer to this? I am having the same issue

Hi,

The benefits cannot currently be purchased separately from membership. Your friend would need to either wait for the membership levels to drop below the purchase threshold for a full year or contact PS to have some membership transferred to another account.

Good work solving the second piece of the puzzle – the spell is finally broken! The next clue appears to be a... vintage postcard?

It reads, ‘Greetings from Fort Forinthry…’

What could it mean...?

Abyssal creature invasion? on that hill all I see is an Abyssal Lord that spawns

So this new addition to the post has me a little worried. No mention of the cash stack cap being removed and a few mentions of the current max value. Did you guys scratch the idea of upping the cash limit?

I'm sure there will be a lot to talk about in the blog that will be up in a few weeks (I don't know the exact date yet).

Ngl, im a little dissapointed, they spent ages gathering data, working on it for a year, only to change the numbers. No actual reworks or anything just a flat reduction. Seems a little anticlimactic.

The dedicated blog will be up in a few weeks, and I'm sure there will be a lot to talk about.

Thanks to you, we were finally able to figure out how to decode the first part of the document, which led us to the mysterious calculations of an unknown author.

To solve the second part of the puzzle, you need to go to the Wilderness and take pictures to show that you're ready for what's next. Put on your best outfit, go to the Wildy, and post screenshots.

I'm fairly certain it's something very exciting. :)

4 Puzzles for 5 spots ? :p

A curious document, coated in a thick layer of dust and ash, has been retrieved from the depths of the Wilderness. A powerful enchantment binds it. Only the strongest and wisest ‘Scapers can break the spell! Can you help?

Will we hear any news about the new skill coming in 2023? I saw no mention in the news post, but I could have swore that a jmod mentioned that we would hear something about the new skill before the end of the year.

Soon.
