Can we expect bot nuke #2 to be put into effect before the end of April? I hear two hidden updates this week (11th) and last (3rd) were to set Optimus up to be fully-implemented, or something of the like.

Thank you for the hard work and willingness to do Q&As like this!

I can't give specifics, but we're talking weeks rather than years here.

Wow! A lot of engine re-designs! Do you work on them when you have spare time at home? Could it be Runescape 3 with such a massive change?

-

Sometimes work we do is inspired by home projects, certainly. I don't know what we'd have to do to label it RS3, but I think we're a way from it yet :)

Follyhall II:

"(Question one)- I am not a veteran, for I have not played for 10 years. But Ive played f2p for a long time. I have gotten bored
with whats in store, though members should get more benefits. But Im wondering if there will be new updates for f2p,
Excepbut not trival updates like the lodestones that provide free transportation

(question 2)- Will there be a rs3? This is a pretty lame question, though it's not just about the graphics.
I always wanted to see runescape's gameplay with its speacial fighting style. The weapons will be the same, no skills,
but you can dodge and counter like real life fighting. Also, you can choose your race, fight players anywhere if their
race is of different god (Ex-saradomin v.s. zamorak), and change times from day to night replacing day events to night ones.
Talking about all of this, will you make a new expansional update like you did from rsc to rs2?

(question 3)- Are report cases not being read? Even though there is too much scamming in runescape, is it being taken care of,
or is it being ignored

(Question 4)- Have there been updates suggested by players, that are released to the game? If so, will there be any
opportunities for other players the suggest updates that go to the public also?

(Question 5)- Is there going to be anymore contests which reward you with stuff (memebership,cash,etc.)

(Last question)-Asking so many question, I have seen many players thinking runescape will shut down, is that possible, or
will you be able to upkeep everyhting.
READ:I HAVE ASKED SO MANY QUESTIONS, BUT IM NOT ASKING SO MANY TO HOPE ONE WILL SHOW IN THE Q&A SESSION. I HAD MANY
QUESTIONS THAT I WANTED TO ASK, BUT NEVER HAD MUCH OF AN OPORTUNITY TO DO SO. "

===

1.) I can't really answer that - the content team will be here after us, so they might be able to help :)
2.) Never say never! Not really a question I can answer though.
3.) Player support get a lot of reports. They are dealing with them as best they can.
4.) I know that there are many things that players suggest that reach the ears of developers, and get implemented. If people ask for something it might well happen!
5.) I don't know
6.) We are planning to be around for many years to come!

@ CM Team

In regards to "money doubling", players seem protected under the old "it's not illegal until the scam takes place" deal. Even so legitimate money "doublers" promote the scam by creating the delusion that you can find someone who won't be a scammer?

How can nothing be done about this?

===

Our advice is that if someone offers to double your money you need to be aware that there is a high chance that they will scam you. We have warnings in the trade window, and we provide a mechanic to report people if they still decide to ignore our advice and then get scammed.

We have every sympathy with people who lose stuff through scamming - but in fairness we do feel that we provide a good level of protection, but at the same time, still allow players the freedom to make unbalanced trades if they wish.

However, we do keep this sort of thing under review, I'll mention it again at the next RuneScape planning meeting.

Is it possible to have construction rooms that take up more than one room of space but still count as one construction room in the room limit (and in the code)?

At high construction levels players tend to abandon above-ground houses for dungeon rooms, and I believe some of the resulting empty space would be less empty if a few current or new rooms were simply the size of 4 rooms instead of just one... if it is possible, I will prepare a suggestion thread with my ideas for some bigger-sized rooms.

-

As I understand it the POH script is not very update-friendly. I suspect doubling the size of rooms may be beyond it's scope, but I don't know it myself, so will prepare to be corrected by the content team!

I really hope more legal issues can be taken against the botters I know I won't be able to mention what ones but I really hope they get taken down! Anyway on with the game engine related questions

- Me too! It's a very slow process though, so we prefer technical measure where possible.

Will we ever be able to look up at the sky :D

- Almost certainly!

Player owned houses are a bit tricky for content to add to. I expect this would be quite a big change for them, and it doesn't sound too likely that it would happen any time soon. Never say never though!

Is it possible to remove the tiles from the game or make them smaller so you actually move to the spot you clicked? and if so, are there any plans for this? :P

-

It's part of our very-distant plans, yes.

What can we expect with the RuneTek 7 update? More detailed is hardly possible...

I don't think it's something you can expect - it's pure research at the moment, not sure where we will end up with it yet!
