Moe Is 4210:
a) Are you going back to working on patch notes/In Other News, or are you going to work on another content project?
b) I was hoping I could pass on a suggestion about Option Ordering with monsters...
c) Do you have anything else planned for the WOM? or is this is for now?
*) When can we expect to see any of these signature heroes?
e) Java or C++?
A. No, that's Mod Nexus's job now, and I don't want it back! I prefer coding. I still fill in for him when he's on holiday sometimes.
B. I would very much like to see your suggestion implemented.
C. I intended Love Story to be his "happily ever after" ending, but he's still available for future quests if anyone comes up with a cool idea.
*. Mod Fnord was working on a quest featuring one of those. I think he was waiting for graphics before he could finish though.
E. We work in an in-house language designed by Andrew. We call it RuneScript. The game engine team uses java.

Makoto D:
1) Do you ever feel limited by the limitations of the game engine to push quests out? As an example, we've been waiting for the Elven captial to open up for almost five years now, and it's gone through plenty of remakes and new looks over the years. So is it a limitation of the engine or your own imagination?
2) How many storylines are left to "complete"? For the storylines that are complete, does this mean that they won't be some small part of a future quest that doesn't necessarily involve them?
3) How often do Jagex Developers dive into the Stories/Quest Suggestions forums, and use snippets of player-made stories/suggestions in future quests?
4) Who is the steampunk fan that has been writing the Elemental Workshop series? If you can find him, give them a pat on the back/sugary item of their choice for their awesome work, but ask them to make some of the rewards less tedious to get next time!
5) Speaking of steampunk, do any future quests plan to follow a specific theme or culture? As a for-instance, Mayan-esque, ancient, runic, Asiatic, etc.
---
1) Sometimes we find we want to do things that the game engine can't support, but, for me, part of the fun of being in a creative job as working within the limitations you're given.
2) Off the top of my head I don't think I can think of a *complete* list of storylines, but the ones that come to mind are the Red Axe and Myreque series. Both of those are being worked on at the moment.
3) I think different developers look at the suggestions forums more or less often. Personally I don't really look at the suggestions forums, but I think some developers do.
4) Mod Dylan is behind the Elemental Workshop quests!
5) We don't tend to think "let's make quests around this theme" -- rather, we pick the theme based on the requirements of the quest.

Alex Kakashi:
1)What was the main role you both played in the quests you've developed? E.g. did you both write the quest lines, and help decide if the graphics the design team came up with were okay, or did you just "manage" the quest?
2) Do either of you work on anything else apart from Quests?
3) If your answer to 2 is yes, have you got any current content in the game of that type?

1) For most of the quests I've been involved in, I've been the main developer, which means I've written the storyline and all the in-game text, written the code to make it work, and worked with Graphics to make sure they came up with graphics that were suitable.
For a few quests, I've been the design reviewer, which is more like "managing" the quest. In the case of Love Story, Mod Ash was the developer and I was the design reviewer.
2) We both do! Quests are my main passion but I've also written activities and other quest content.
3) Among the non-quest things I worked on are Stealing Creation and the Great Orb Project, but there are lots more.
