Bump - would also love to hear an update statement on this soon!

I am afraid we need to get an update statement from OSRS first as GIM shares the same engine dependencies across Jagex's games.

Although Jagex has been radio silence since OSRS announced GIM in Runefest 2019, there is some unconfirmed rumor OSRS GIM is scheduled for "the end of the year" and thus somewhat off the mark of the OSRS Runefest announcement. I don't see any Jmod confirmation though. However, since GIM is not mentioned in the RS3 part of Runefest 2019, I'll say it will probably not be happening this year. Some time next year perhaps.

I think the update looks great! It should be okay to get boss drops with your group, but raids is already okay with anyone so i guess keep it that way...

I have another suggestion, not sure whether this has been asked or nut but... Will there be a group collection log? It wouldn't have to be a separate item, but rather a new tab in the collection log which shows the drops the group has collected between them. in my opinion this would be the ultimate grind.

I saw a reddit post on 2007scape with 7k upvotes, where it was a group of three ironmen, a melee, ranger, and mage with designated skills (melee does smithing, ranger does fletching, mage does runecraft). I love this idea! but it needs group questing...

For example
if the mage wants to do desert treasure and lunar diplomacy these need to be tradable
digsite________animal skull, chemical compound
tourist trap_____dart tips dart
troll stronghold_cell key 1 and 2
desert treasure__guilded cross
lost city________dramen branch, draman staff
shilo village_____stone plaque
lunar diplomacy__lunar ore, lunar helm, dream logs

But!
even if all these items are tradable, overworld skill requirements pose additional problems
desert treasure__lighting torches on the wall
lunar diplomacy_lighting brazier to enter dream world
temple of ikov__pick lock to Lesarkus' room
temple of ikov__Lesarkus can only be defeated by ice arrows (requiring 40 ranged)

I hope jagex can come up with some solution :)

They probably won't even think of anything. As I mentioned, there is not even one word about GIM in OSRS since they revealed it in Runefest. It doesn't seem to be promising at this point as some people said it may come at the end of this year or even later. And it likely means for RS3, it won't come this year.

I don't think they will design GIM features for quests anyway.

This sounds amazing and I would love to do this. Please make it variable between 2 and 5 players and it let it scale as people come in with new toons and out as people get burnt out so groups don't die.

I also love the idea of the group bank or even an ultimate version of group ironman with a stash box or something.

Can we get an update on this? Me and my friend is spending hours theorycrafting how we will play when this eventually releasese. Please just make it simple to start with, 100% normal account who can only trade with the members in the group. Shouldn't be too hard to fix!

Ironman Mode and Hardcore Ironman Mode are account-types that encourage the player to be entirely self-sufficient .
Both types of Ironman mode are locked out of most forms of interactions with other players.

I dont understand this thread or wasted time of development.

"Our next larger quest, A Kingdom Divided, will be pushed into the first half of 2021. Clans and Group Iron Man will still remain in ongoing development, but they won't be coming this year either - you can expect them to be released in the first half of 2021, too. That ultimately gives us time to make sure we get them right. The ongoing technical work for Clans makes a completion date difficult to predict."
- OSRS July GIelinor Gazette

OSRS announced their part of GIM will be delayed to "the first half of 2021". Given RS3 and OSRS share the same engine works dependencies, I think we will have to wait until "the first half of 2021" in RS3 for GIM too.
