What is with how you introduce new Executive Producers and the way they seem to flex their position. It's time to drop the hierarchy act and start acting like a company that success depends on your community.

We've got amazing J-mods who've been with us for many years, attending RuneFests, playing the game, and being part of the community. They know us; they are us. But every time a new "big shot" Executive Producer comes in, it's like they have to show off and act all high and mighty. Mod Warden did it, and now Mod Keeper seems to be following suit, leaving us all hanging about some serious stuff. Are they even talking to the mods who understand the game and the players? I might at least feel somewhat okay with it if it was Mod Pip who made the post... but lets hear from them Mods who make the game, or used to make the game... There's a few veteran J-Mods who I know are still about but it's like they're thrown in the background.

Jagex, seriously, let's cut the BS. Instead of flaunting hierarchy, let the face of Jagex be those who get us and whom we trust. Our veteran J-mods have earned their stripes and our respect. They should be at the forefront. Their involvement can lead to better updates and a stronger connection between Jagex and the players.

We need transparency, not this secretive nonsense. When you've got major updates brewing, talk to us. Address our concerns before they blow up.

This community has got very used to MTX now - so you don't need to beat around the bush with it. We get it. You need to make money. But you go about it the wrong way with this bush.

I spend a lot more of my time playing RuneScape than anything else, yet I tend to spend my spare cash on other games and stream subs etc. If MTX wasn't so bad perhaps I'd be interested to spend my money here.

MTX can work. But your trial and error approaches rather than including the community.. Why would you get a load of streamers into Jagex to try out Necromancy but not MTX?

Since when did Jagex start to censor their community? I posted the same thing on Reddit and they removed it.



If he's going to make a post on the RuneScape website as someone of importantance, about something to do with the game we all love and been part of for most of our lives... then he should be able to be called out!

Your question has been answered ... you received exactly that piece of information.

That you disagree with how Jagex is managed/build is not in your circle of influence thus superfluous to start ranting/argue about how you experience it.

If you wanna have influence I would recommend to see if there's a suitable job/carreer at Jagex for you but even than ... I will warn you ... that your circle of influence is pretty limited.

That's why Jagex has been standing strong for years

I don't get what argument you're trying to make lol, who said I have an influance or that I'm trying to inluance to the point of I should then look for a job at Jagex lmao? This is a forum and I am a veteran player sharing my opinion oabout a stupid post...

Granted, forums aren't as active as they once were. My influance here in the past actually led to Mod MMG making a post, something like that wouldn't happen these days especially with the Forums being dead...

But in no way does that mean players can't speak here about what they want lol - and if you use reddit, all the jokes about the post from Keeper just shows it's not just a solo opinion.

Yeah I know ... a lot of players are going mad/out of their minds of happiness, personally, when a JMod does post but what will it do for The RuneScape Community?

Better enjoy the many works of Jagex/JMod Developers than having received a post in a thread.

Mod Keeper is the Executive Producer of RS3. Some of the previous RS3 Executive Producers were Mod Warden and Mod Pips, the current CEO of Jagex/Pipeworks/Gamepires.

As Mod Warden described:

"Basically, Executive Producer is the person who is most responsible for all things RuneScape – the overarching vision and strategy, the game and developing the team behind it, our relationship with our players, and the commercial plans that will allow us keep making the game for many years to come."


As Mod Keeper wrote in today's news post:

"These interim fixes are to tackle the most immediate pain-points, so we can then focus on a longer period of community consultation and re-development. Hopefully these urgent changes demonstrate that we're listening and taking action."


So they intend to talk more on the re-develpment of Hero Pass with a longer period of community consultation. Isn't it what most of us wanted?
