"Mod Philip,
What is your ultimate update goal at the moment?
P.S.- Vote chicken!
"

My ultimate update goal is to get rid of all of the bots, and have excellent frame rates for everyone! I would rather that we didn't have to spend time on fighting the bots. If botters didn't exist, we wouldn't have to do things that hurt the frame rate, and we would be able to spend time writing more awesome game features.
I would rather be spending time writing game-play features that make RuneScape more fun for everyone, but the botters have other ideas about how a lot of our time is spent

To Chris_E and Michael:
Bank space is something you seem reluctant to increase. I hear the reason is because of the increasing size of the game save file for each player. If each bank space is represented by two 32 bit numbers (item ID and stack number) and there are probably less than 40k item IDs in use, why not reduce the space allocation for the item ID variable and increase the amount of bank space we can have.
-
Actually we use a 16bit and 32it number, but close enough - recently we went over 16bits for location and models IDs

"ANYONE/ ALL;
Are any of you lot going to RuneFest?
Do any of you know or have an idea where and whenabouts it could be? "
I am afraid I don't know anything about the planning for RuneFest (and none of the Game Engine team do). I went to the last one though, and really enjoyed meeting some really awesome players.
I would certainly go out of my way to attend RuneFest again, as it was an excellent experience.

To the Game engine:
1) Will there be more equipment with particle effects in the future? I LOVE the Goliath, Spellcaster and Swift gloves' particle effects! It would be nice if there were some more pieces of equipment with partcle effects
- Almost certainly, yes.
2) Is it possible to raise the volume of voice-overs within GWD? General Graardor is pretty nasty with his phrases, but I think he says is too quiet, even if I put my volume very high!
- I don't know about this one, I can only guess they are recorded quietly - one for the audio team!
3) How is the Player-owned Ports project going? I'm looking forward to it since RuneFest! I'm very curious
I'm even training my Smithing level for it!
- This one for the content team, sorry.
To Mod Stevew:
I get lots of people pm'ing me advertising websites, what should I do: Report them all or just ignore them? Because it are actually quite a lot every day...

@ Mod Chris E - I just noticed something in some of your postings. This would be a technical question I believe. If not sorry for the bother!
When you're copying and pasting questions I saw this little line of text appear which to me looks like additional forum controls which Jmods have.
"Unhide Profile Edit Highlight Bump Bad Good"
Can you comment on what the 'Bad' & 'Good' buttons do?

Oops
They're just tools to mark good and bad posts, nothing exciting.

Hi Rodsay:
"Is it planned to use the 'everyone can see' chat facility of Dungeoneering in the Citadels? I wondered why it was not implemented initially because the structure must be there already."
That's actually quite a cool idea - the engine will support instance-wide chat for any instance-based content, so there's no reason we couldn't do this in Citadels. Best to suggest this to the content team as they'd need to add it, but I'll pass it along nonetheless.
