Will there be any other kinds of reward from coming onto top 10%5 and nr 1 in the high score ranks
liek new songs and other cosmetic things for ur house ect


Hey there :) . We're currently only looking at giving "current" and "previous" winners any form of rewards (current being the player who won the last recurrence of a high score and previous being any player who has previously won that particular high score).

Will the new website and the forums receive a better load time to coincide with RS3's theme of making things run faster.

It seems that on some days currently the Forums can be a little slow to load.


hey Draconsang, reducing the load times for sections of the website has been a consideration in the new design and I think we've made huge improvements, however, with so many dedicated Runescape players visiting the website each day it does make the servers pretty busy! we get on average 2 million visits a day, so it's a challenge!

How long did it take you guys to design the site we have now and the new one that is coming out?


I wasn't here when we designed the site we have now but I can tell you about the new site. Mod Lee started getting his first ideas down about 9 months ago then design and production really kicked in properly before Christmas. All the Runescape visual design team in Creative Services have been working really hard to get the first phase ready in time for the launch.

I suppose this question goes to Mod MKilley however anyone is free to answer:

My Question:

With the update to the current website (Seasonal High Scores, new layout, etc. ) are there any plans to update the forums in the near future in any way? (if so, Minor Changes or a Complete Overhaul?)


When the new website launches on July 22nd you'll see a new design at the top and bottom of the forum pages (for the navigation bar and the footer). We aren't adding any new features at the moment.

However, we did just complete a reasonably important update to the forums where we significantly improved performance. You might remember a time not too long ago when all the pages took forever to load :( - those days are gone now and the forums are running super fast :) . This took a lot of effort from our team so we decided that for the RS3 launch, we should focus on other areas of the website. Stay tuned though, there might be a forum update some time in the future.

Have you also been trying to reduce load times?


Yeap, every attempt has been made to reduce the load times so that we can get the website to you, faster. As part of this battle against slow loading times, we have moved script tags to the bottom of all the pages and minified css and scripts where possible.

Please keep in mind that whilst you are accessing the website, thousands of other users worldwide are doing exact same thing. This can also effect load times and we are constantly updating our hardware on servers worldwide to achieve better speeds.

Some areas of the website is either hard to find or have to go through a whole process to find a page. Is this new website going to be easier and faster to navigate?


@Tommy 7654, we have restructured the sites navigation so that the most popular pages are the easiest to access.

Why not fill up the Media section of the site with Concept Art?


That's on its way - we have so much great concept art to put on the site and we're looking at ways we can make that really easy to browse.

Hello everyone. Will we be able to customize the website the way we want, much like the interface in-game? With me being a student in web development and game programming, I have never heard of this and was wondering if it was possible in HTML/5 code.


Good question Sicurro. We wanted users of the new site to be able to customise their experience and as such, their are areas where you can customise what you want to see. When you get access to the new website, please let use know your feedback so that we can better improve the customisation.

And glad to hear you are a fellow web developer! :D
