My question will be


Everytime you use any type of teleport to go too Tree Gnome Stronghold. It suddenly stops at " Loading please wait 50% " and It does not load up for some players. Would this possibly get fixed ?


Thank you :)

This is due to the memory footprint of that area. We're working with the QA team to make sure this gets caught earlier next time.

@Game Engine Crew

In regards to the engine / coding itself, would it be hard to change the code for the bank PIN option.

Instead of when you scroll your mouse of a particular number and only one number disappearing, how much code would be involved [roughly] to make all the numbers disappear upon scrolling your mouse over 'any' number? This would be a great feature in helping fight against hijackers using key-loggers ?

We have much bigger plans for account security - keep your eyes out for these in the future.

Hi Mess up:

"Are you still going to update the engine to allow us to move around by using WASD keys?"

We explored this possibility a while back and the results were promising - the conclusion we came to was that it would be a very large and ambitious project! While there aren't any plans to do this just now, it's certainly something we're considering for the future.

Darcro:

"I have quite a simple question that will probably be asked a lot.

Is Optimus anywhere near being ready for release and if so, when will it be released? I have heard rumours about Jagex and IVP concerning bots and I am still waiting for Jagex to prove them wrong. I hope to see Optimus soon and for bot-busting to continue in the future.

Please be honest as a lot of people involved with Jagex have, when asked, given very vague answers, dancing around the subject, trying their best not to say anything that may actually be a decent answer.

Just for once, please, be straight with us.

EDIT: Having been reminded by a number of posts, I would also like to voice my concern with fps issues and I would like to know when this will be dealt with.

Thanks :)

You're right, it has been asked a lot :)

It is near to being ready for release. I can't tell you an exact release date, but it will be soon. Bot busting will certainly continue in the future. We see it as an ongoing issue that is high on our list of priorities. Rest assured, it is being worked on, and we are putting effort into it.

The FPS concerns are mostly rather related to the anti-bot work we have done. We hope that the Optimus changes will mitigate this somewhat.

I can tell you catagorically that the frame rate is not as much of a problem as it was in October. It has improved significantly, but it has happened so gradually that it hasn't received much attention. We still think the frame rate is pretty terrible, and it is our number one priority to try and fix this.

1) Recent FPS issues have lead some to question whether Java is showing its limits in the game. Do you believe that's true? Have you ever felt like Java really limited the expansion of the game or engine?

- Java doesn't really limit us speed wise, just deployment wise, as I think I mentioned earlier.

2) What's the hardest project you've had to work on to date?

- Introducing full UV texturing into the java renderer - ARGH

3) Out of all of you in that room, who would win in a fight? ;)

- Mike, probably. Although if the fight involved MahJong tiles, probably Phil.

To Mod Stevew,

Do the rules of runescape still apply to runescape classic? If they do, why are they not being enforced?

I'm fairly certain that reports from RSC are still processed by Customer Support - it's not really my area of expertise though, one to ask when Customer Support do a QA!

I'm not sure who of the Engine team needs to answer this but here my question comes!

- Is it possible to add a weather system to Runescape? If it is hard to balance it could be fully cosmetic, but it would be awesome to have.

- It certainly is, as to whether we will, we don't have any plans at the moment.
