Will the Wicked Robes come with a costume room spot?
No, there are reasons for this which I wont go in to detail but there is a technical reason for this.
Just an extra, I really loved the Snowman thing in the christmas event (after completion), at the time I thought it would be kinda cool with a similar activity in the middle of the GE, with a different theme of course but still... Having east vs west in the ge would add community I think. Just adding here as I just remembered that idea!)
I'd like to add the snowman minigame elsewhere, i've not found a good place to put it yet though. Have no doubt, if i find a good place to put it, i'll try and ninja it in there as I'm glad you liked it!
The Runespan is supposed to be the "next big thing" in runecrafting. Do you think this will change the skill in whole?
Yes, this is a totally new way to train runecrafting over the whole skill, i'd be very surprised if it didn't change the skill.
How often do content developers look at player suggestions for inspiration? If/when they do, what do they take from them? Small elements? Or have you ever made content purely out of a player suggestion?
I look at the suggestions every day. I have a notepad document of good players suggestions that I see and try and put them in if they fit in with what i'm working on at that moment. Sadly we don't reply very often that we like a suggestion as we cannot make any promises that it will go into the game! We also have a "todo list" for the whole content team and lots of the items in there are approved player suggestions!
Also, any chance of seeing more competitions for players to design content? I know I'd love to see some of my ideas ingame.
I like this idea and would love to see more of it, The Runespan would not exist without you guys asking for it first! How cool is that!
Have Jagex took into account how Runecrafting is currently the most respectable and hardest 99, and made sure not to increase it by too much with the RuneSpan?
We are aware of this and it has been taken into account but we have to look at the bigger picture and out of all the skills runecrafting is one that most players avoid as much as they can. With regards to the game as a whole this isn't a very good thing at all.
Will RuneSpan require 100% attention like the rest of the Runecrafting methods?
If you want the best of the best XP rates yes but you are not required to keep constant attention to get a good XP rate and you can even play this update casually if you want to, you just wont get amazing XP rates. I like the way runecrafting rewards you for training efficiently and i've tried to keep that to a point in this update.
Will we be able to merge our existing Small to Large Rc Pouches into one gigantic pouch, and will we see some introduction into crafting higher level runes like Soul?
(Heard rumors originating from runefest about the pouch merging)
No, i'm not merging the pouches, the bigger pouch is a new pouch. Merging the pouches, gives you move inventory space which leads to more efficient banking and that in itself leads to balancing concerns so before that happens, it would need more thought.
