1) Ragarding the Optimus; is there an ETA on final release?
- Just, soon, sorry!
2) How much effort does it take to add small updates into the game while we are logged on? (Such as small fixes after updates that don't require server downtime)
- It's just a button press for Mod_Easty.
3) Any chance we will get the Dungeoneering Finale sagas, soon after the ones we are getting this month?
- Don't know, sorry - try the content guys.
4) (Tech question) When I play realizable with my browser opened to the maximum it can go, RS starts getting incredibly laggy, often after a few minutes it switches me into safemode. When I re-size my browser by just about 2-3 centimeters in from the maximum the lag seems to stop. Any idea why?
- Sounds like an out of memory issue. Does it happen if you're in a very low detail area (like the desert)?
"Sometimes when i log out and then try logging back in, it says i'm already logged in.. And then I can't log back in for the next 30 mins-1 hour... It's so annoying especially when you're dunging and get disconnected.. Are you guys aware of this? And if you are, when can we expect you to fix it?"
From time to time our game worlds have trouble talking to our core systems which deal with saving your progress - very occasionally it's our fault, but most of the time it's simply problems on the internet where one ISP isn't able to talk to another. When this happens, we have to hold on to your save game at our game worlds until we're aboslutely sure we've been able to save it. That doesn't mean you're still logged in - but we can't log you in again until we're sure we've got your save game where it needs to be. Above all else the most important thing to us is making sure everything you do in RuneScape is saved securely.
We'd absolutely love it if the whole internet worked 100% of the time and we didn't have this problem, but that's not likely to happen.
Currently, the piety prayer requires a quest, 70 defence and 70 prayer
Rigour and augury dont require a quest ( but dungeoneering instead ) and a high prayer, but they dont say anything about a defence requirement, can they be used on low defence?
"What is the reason why there is a delay when hopping between worlds? Is it because of the games coding or is it just to give other players a chance to join the world?
It was originally in place to reduce rare resource farming (eg. rune rocks)."
________________________________________________________________________
Will the delay eventually be removed or decreased more? I find myself waiting to chance worlds quite often, and it is getting annoying. If removing it is now an option, is there any chance of it getting reduced to maybe 10 or 15 seconds compared to the 26 sec (I think
) we have now?

Maybe, but we don't have any immediate plans to do so.
@ Engine Team - Sometimes when opening my world map and closing it I will be kicked back into Safe Mode. Whenever this happens Safe Mode seems to run incredibly slow. Is there any reason why Safe Mode would run so slow compared to the higher end graphics in this situation?
I have a fairly decent gaming machine built and this one still boggles my mind. Generally I get 40-50fps doing anything in runescape with all detail settings on. However when I crash into Safe Mode my fps sometimes hits 5-10.

This is an out of memory error with the world map. We're aware of it and are working to improve the map soon!
