Love this idea. As an avid roleplayer, but not on forums, I and some of my friends could make that area a success!
@Polleke Lol - Mabye not with a random player, but possibly a 'famous' runescape player! Like tehnoobshow or even mmg?
-It'd be quiet interesting to see all of the famous players being swarmed, but instead of by noobs, by the 'paparazzi'.

I suggest sending this through a mailinglist instead. It's time you start sending *-mails to the people who ticked the appropriate box when typing their *-**** adress. You could use some nice fonts and a background as well.
I'd love to read about upcoming projects to be honest. Include a paragraph in which you post Developer Blogs. Not like the blogs you post on the mainpage, but just some small hints and confirmations on updates. Like: F2P skillcapes won't come after all, because... Or: We plan to start work on a clan system. Something along those lines. Just some small insight.
This also gets people involved who have quit or take a break for some time. Some people might have quit, but return to the game as they are reading some nice things.
I would sign up for a monthly mail.
There could be a forum where everyone posts their contents for this mail.
Pictures are a big deal in my opinion. I wouldn't like plain text, and Im not going to be bothered reading it as long as it is some kind of stupid forumthread.
It's either an official mail letter, or nothing.
Been away for years, thought this game would be a mess, turns out it's as good as I remember if not better.

A player-made newsletter? Delicious!
Now, as an avid delver of Gielinorian lore, I would LOVE to see lores/histories continued, but from the words of a player.
Since lore is such a huge part of the world of Runescape/Gielinor, I think it'd be a welcome addition. However, of the lores/histories that Jagex writes (and release once in a very blue moon), they haven't even captured half of the lore ingame.
The articles would be about factual things that happened in the world of Gielinor, but written by players (so it'll have a different take on it, and different use of writing mechanics...since we all write different).
For instance, I could write an article detailing Zamorak usurping Zaros in the Second Age. While trying to maintain facts (such as the trade-off of Armadyl's staff, the 'lightning rod' effect when Zaros was stabbed, and Zamorak's temporary-banishment), I would spice it up with my own take on the matter and give more character to the scenario.
It's just a suggestion, but for all the lore-lovers like me out in Runescape, I think it'd go over well (and possibly get others interested in that aspect of the game).

Though, something else I'd love to see, though not from a player perspective...
Every newsletter, add a few songs in sheet-music form of ingame audio tracks. I'd love to play 'Waiting for Battle' or 'Don't Panic Zanik' on a piano, or to hear other players (probably in uploaded videos to a certain popular video site) play ingame music tracks on their own instruments.
Alot of people who use the music have wanted sheet music of some of the songs, and this would be the perfect opportunity (though, as said, it'd have to be provided by Jagex...since we don't technically know the notes to the songs).
