I would prioritise revitalising the RuneScape website to make it a hub for all players, to include specifically:

- revamping the forums into the 21st century
- mandating that Staff post more dev blogs etc.
- mandating increased staff interaction on the game's own website generally
- making the Support section more prominent and more user friendly
- incorporating a Reddit feed, so users can access the site via runescape.com too
- incorporating an Instagram feed
- incorporating a Twitter feed to log and archive all Jagex Staff tweets This. Pretty please. The Forums would definitely be different under my reign :) .

My first move would be to bring back DarkScape ;) I'd pick this also.


I'd also implement a rule that staff members are no longer allowed to use social media to reveal future content teases, or answer questions people have on reddit/twitter about the game, and enforce use of the forums as a compulsory rule when it comes to anything game related. I would also get the forums updated asap.


I would reduce the amount of MTX, pets, titles or any cosmetics released into game - there's far too many and it's gone so overboard.

I would be brutally honest and inform my playerbase that within the next year not a lot is going to happen because i will dedicate every penny i make will be thrusted into the removal of bots that have blighted our game for so long with the promise of if we fail in that attempt i will step up while putting the Cahonas of a bull on show for all to see and admit that bots are here to stay, we have tried and tried but we just can't get rid of em so with a heavy and very sad heart i hereby beg you "the playerbase" to forgive the years of false promises and just try to live with the problem because we, as a massive company just can't overcome it.

I can guarantee that if things went that way and players seen this honesty, there is a strong possibility that people could overlook what they see "bots" and try to play their greatest adventure without a care in the world about bots but that can only happen if Jagex admit it and tell the honest story.

Much love

I would pay employees what they're due and have the game's code be re-written following today's standards with well-documented comments, and have an extremely reliable and fail-safe backend on the database servers - and halt any updates until it is done. After that, the games stability and reliability would be much improved and would hush a majority of the playerbase with their gripes on server lag. It would also make the developers' lives much easier without a messy codebase, and one that they all could understand.

From there, content updates would have a much smoother and less glitchy implementation. I would have the Woodcutting, Fletching, Firemaking, and Construction skills reworked to flow well with each other, as the Mining and Smithing rework does (I believe Crafting should've been done at the same time as these two). Well thought out skill reworks would bring a standardized skilling system that doesn't feel as floppy as it does right now with level requirements feeling off, as well as the discrepancies between Mining and Woodcutting for example. Both are gathering skills, yet one source doesn't deplete while the other does, and there is no visible "strength" to woodcutting. I believe there is a lot to play with there.

And finally, once all that has been completed, I believe getting every skill to function to 120 properly would be the best route. Questing, area, and content updates follow suit with a very-well fleshed out skilling system and reliable gamebase. With that, mobile can be pushed harder as it is great for people to get their grind on away from their PC - and with all systems working together and some heavy advertising, the game may actually be able to bring back players as well as attract many new players.

The CEO of Jagex is just a puppet for The Carlyle Group and he does whatever they say or he gets replaced.

Actually on the contrary, Mod Pips told us in an interview with MCV/Developer Magazine Carlyle Group bought Jagex because of their strategy and their management. The 5 year strategy plan was set in place in the Fukong era years ago. Carlyle is not telling the Jagex CEO what to do, but helping him to expedite what they have been doing the last 2 or 3 years. :)
