Hey Mod Ash! I have a question… Did you come up with the rewards for your various quests? Or was that another Developer? I really enjoy the new Teleport Tabs and that Disease free Farming Patch. We need more of these “convenience” rewards.

Hello Mod Ash and Mod John A,
Questing is something I’m a huge fan. I’d have to say quests are one of the things that really do make Runescape so much more exciting to play than any other MMO. As such, I have compiled a list of questions relating to quests that I would like to know. Hopefully you find one that will be worth answering:
1) There has been a long debated question over the last several months about quest requirements. Some players say they shouldn’t be too high while some want them to be very high. It has been stated several times that the developers want 90+ requirements but it will happen over time. To set the record straight, can to clarify how long you expect these 90+ requirements to come. I think the developers should be fair to questcape holders and raise the requirements that they can keep up with. It is by far my favorite achievement and it be unfair to take that away from me by making a quest have a 91 runecrafting requirement.
2) What is your favorite quest?
3) Will we see a boss harder than Nomad in the near future?
4) Do you feel Nomad’s difficulty was to premature for a boss fight? If not, explain why.
5) Which quest do you feel really stressed you out the most when designing it?
---------------------------
Thanks for considering my questions. I look forward to your answers to the Q&A session!

Hey JMod's I have 3 Questions.
1. "How do you all think the TT Items release will effect the current TT Items prices?"
2. "Will there be another Bonus Exp Weekend? ;]"
3. Was at Godwars dungeon and noticed a seperate dungeon that looked under contruction. "Are you all working on a new Boss for gwd?"
Thanks, Stepherous

Ps. You all should release a Dragon Defender through a quest, similar to what you did with lost city many years back.

Hello Mod Ash and John A! :D This is my first time on a live Q&A session, so be prepared! O_o . I have one question and one suggestion.
After the events of While Guthix Sleeps, Lucien now has possession of the Stone of Jas and Staff of Armadyl and is planning to overthrow Zamorak with the help of the other Mahjarrat. And all of the Mahjarrat are going to meet at the upcoming Ritual.
Q. Will While Guthix Sleeps be a requirement for The Ritual of the Mahjarrat, since Lucien will probably be there?
A fellow clan-mate of the Scrying Pool Clan, Fox Amarath, had a good suggestion for a quest name for the final Elven quest: The Cry of Seren. Feel free to use it! ;)

question 1: Will exmembers ever have the ability to equipt their 'f2p skill' skill-capes, after buying them in a p2p world?
question 2: Will nonmembers and/or exmembers ever have the option to change their display names?
Question 3: Will the stores ever go back to selling infinite stocks? they really suck atm!
Question 4: Will female players ever get a female version of the ghost costume from Xmas 2009-2010?
Question 5: Will free players or exmembers ever have the ability to use class rings in dungeoneering on f2p worlds
Question 6: Will you ever crack down on all the ingame bots? There has been a surplus in bots this year, even on the p2p worlds

Hi,I have a few questions for you,I would be very thankful if you answered as many of them as you can(If not all),thank you.
1.What does Wise Old Man have under his bed?
2.Is it possible that Zanik could be involved in future quests?I have enjoyed all goblin quests and I'd love to see more.I like the idea of signature heroes,by the way.
3.Will The Drunken Dwarf play part in future Dwarf quests?
4.Are there any troll quests coming?
5.Could we someday actually see a thingummywhat?
6.Could there be a relationship between our character and some questcharacter in future quests(Like you did in Blood Runs Deep)?

Finally,I'd like to say that quests with lots of humor are sure to be popular.Keep up doing those ;) .

hi there, glad you want to answer my question!
I've been a pure/hybrid for a while and enjoy playing on it, for me it's an extra challenge. Its enjoyable to complete hard quests with very low defence.
during a period you have released cool quests but none i can complete because of the quest requirements. i can't do quests like forgiveness of a chaos dwarf, elemental workshop III, love story, fairy tale quests...
for me that's a shame if you know that i have all the skill requirements.
1. where are quest requirements based on? why do you set them if they aren't needed?
2. will you ever introduce a system where you can chose whether experience is given or not? this would be very helpfull for quests like dragon slayer.
thank you and go on with answering

Hello to the developers!
Five questions:
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! :P
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.

Hey guys!
Nice of you guys to do this Q&A. :)
To Mod Ash:
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 heard that you've done a few cool updates that aren't huge, but make the game very convenient. I was hoping I could pass on a suggestion about Option Ordering with monsters...
Simply put, when you right click a monster that is a higher level than you, the attack option is at the bottom. However this becomes a nuisance when you're killing bosses all the time (like me! :P ) and end up hitting the examine button all the time.
Would it be possible to create some sort of feature to allow the attack option to be first in the options? I've noticed that this mechanic was used in Daemonheim and would love if it if we could have this outside of RS. The pvm community would love it. ^_~
c) Do you have anything else planned for the WOM? or is this is for now?
To Mod John A:
*) When can we expect to see any of these signature heroes?
Both:
e) Java or C++? ^_^ (I prefer Java, but hey, I like to hear what you guys think!)

Thanks for the Q&A - The last few months in terms of communication have been A+!
