"@Mod Philip,
I've a question regarding the clan noticeboard.
Will there be any updates to the clan noticeboard?
Also,
Will u make an option for us to give a name to special events on the clan noticeboard :) ?

My last question for u:
Will we get any new updates for the clan citadel (like being able to get a tier 8 citadel)? I know that some clans would really appreciate that :D . "

===

I think that is more of a question for content to answer - they'll be along shortly, so maybe you'll get a better answer from them!

1. Will we ever be able to see past that line of fog? It'd be awesome to be able to stand on top of the Wizards Tower and see Varrock far off into the distance.

- Yes. Infact, I was doing that earlier from Al Kharid to Varrock :)

2. If #1 is possible then will be ever be able to see the sky?

- Yes.

my question is if the game gets ported or rewritten in another language than java will you make sure that the support for the 3 biggest platforms remain if a language needing compilation is used?

-

Definitely.

Fansites always had a Server C S V (server list download)- is it possible to make it avaible for fansites, once again?

We don't have any plans for this right now, but it's something we could bring back if there is enough demand.

""Our obfuscation software inevitably introduces inefficiency into the client code base."

I have no idea what that means, but when you are done with the chat you have my permission to DELETE it. The bots are back in huge numbers, in case you didn't notice."

===

The reason we keep all of this stuff around is that it introduces a huge barrier to entry. If we removed it, there would be hundreds of different bot clients, rather than just a few, and then we would really be in trouble...

I remember a while ago, I read in a developers blog about the new graphics updates that you were using a new movement detection/collision system in this new graphic assets. Is this a preparation for WASD movement?

- Yes, sort of, (for Stellar Dawn/Transformers)

Also, can we expect a zoom-in feature? It's possible to zoom in with Orb of Oculus, why not zoom in in-game?

- Yes.

"3. A lot of players are receiving PMs by advertising bots. These bots seem to copy players names from FCs, high population areas such as the GE or high scores then PM a large list of people within a matter of seconds. The names change so putting that account onto the ignore list does not work particularly well. Is there any future update (such as Optimus) which is likely to help with this problem? "

===

Yes! We already introduced some stuff that pushed them into private chat. We have other plans that should hurt them, although we are mostly concentrating on the botters at the moment. We do have it on our plans though.

"And these are for whomever can answer on the tech team:

1. I don't have the *best* computer but it is powerful enough Skyrim and Crysis and a number of other video games with a minimum of 35-40 FPS. On Runescape I'm running with ~5 FPS on the low graphics setting. I really love the HD look but it is simply not viable to play on. Will I ever be able to play on the Medium or High settings with decent FPS?

2. Certain dungeoneering bosses are still very laggy for me, especially Gravecreeper. Wat do?


P. S. I'm not angry at any of you guys, I understand that none of you five are personally responsible for the SoF, it has just been very frustrating to be stonewalled for so long. Starting to feel like the concerns of the community are falling on deaf ears. Please prove me wrong and thank you all so much for taking the time to answer our questions. It really is appreciated. "

===

1.) We are working hard on this. I think our earlier answers should give you some good technical answers on what we are doing, and what the problems are.

2.) Yeah - that is a mixture of the FPS issues and some specific issues with the graphical effects on that boss. I'll ask content to see if they can tune it a bit better... :P

Sorry, I can't answer your SoF questions.

"1. One of the things from the SoF update that I liked but seemed to be overlooked was the ability to move the "Yelp toolbar" to another part of the screen. Are we likely to see more user customisable interfaces like this in the future?

2. Many of the larger open P2P friends chats suffer from spamming by F2P accounts, this has previously been highlighted to JMods via the forums. Could the option to restrict a friends chat to P2P accounts only be added? Is this already being looked at? To clarify: the FCs that I refer to specialise in content only available in P2P so genuine F2P players would have no need to join them. "

===

1.) I think so - the ones that are not customisable are really difficult to update, as they don't really have any room to add to them. I would imagine content will do this sort of thing more in the future.

2.) Technically, yes. It is not something that I have heard suggested before, and we are not working on it at the moment. I will bring it up with content, and see what they think :)

"What causes the Black screen to occur, and what can I do to fix it?"

===

There are a few places where you could get a black screen. Sadly without any more information I can't really direct you to how to solve it :(
