Hey Mod Ash and John A!
As you might know already (
), I *loved* your quest, “Love Story”! Terrific plotline, and very funny—the cutscenes were amoung the funniest things I’ve ever seen!
Anyway, on to my questions:
1) What sort of stages does a quest maker go through in order to make a quest?
2) How do you come up with the ideas for quests?
3) How long does it normally take for a quest to be released from the day it was originally thought of?
Thanks for your time,
~Poler

Dear-dear-dear Ash and John..!
I am a big fan of the RuneScape saga, all its quests included. But I can't complete them all at the moment
. So I have a few question for you guys:
- How do you get the ideas? Personally, my ideas just pop into my head, so I write them down, and when I get enough of these ideas, I write a quest. How do you work?
- Are you planning on any Dungeoneering quests? For I am very interested into the Dungeoneering storyline.
- How does it feel to have the power to affect on the RuneScape storyline?
- I've heard that you are going to continue the dwarf series and more. Are these storylines nearby to the end?
- Can you add me so we could make quests together?
- What are the most successful projects you had in your opinion? Or your favorites?
- I'm currently writing a three-part quest series about the Barrows Brothers. It tells about how you travel in the past and see the stories of Fall of Six & Crumbling Tome with your eyes. It also tells more about Zaros and has many connections with existing quests, such like Temple at Senntisten. The most tricky part is that I can't change the history of RuneScape so I'm only using the existing material. This means for example that the upcoming quest - the Ritual of Mahjarrat could greatly affect on my quests since Sliske would make an appearance there. Can you give me any tips?
Thank you for this opportunity!

1
I heard recently that Dungeon Pits wasn't the planned construction update you had. When can we expect to see more from this skill, if you can give away anything?
2
How's it going with Elite Diaries?
3
Is there any developer roles that doesn't require very good coding/drawing abilities?
4 (apparantly you said you don't know much about Dungeoneering so feel free to skip
)
Are you gonna do anything to the binding limit's of Dungeoneering, this is one of the things that put me off (I mage). You can only, for example, bind 1 rune type. Which is really not alot. Mage's can't fight with only 1 slot of runes, unlike meleers and rangers
5
Are you starting to consider the graphics cool enough to finish the elf storyline?
6
On the question of graphics, can we expect to see water like in the dungeoneering trailer soon?
7
More rune-saving items/Equipment, will it ever come?
Rite of Passage

Good evening guys,
Not sure if these questions are aimed directly at you but they would involve intense development throughout the projects...
1) The 6th August celebrates the 3 year anniversary of the Clan Chat feature, Will we be seeing any changes in the near future to this feature, maybe a different interface of extra options?
2) Im sure you have plenty of Quests and Distraction & Diversions lined up for us players for this year and beyond, but will we see any development to other Minigames like we have already seen to Castle Wars, maybe adding quests into minigame storylines?
3) We've seen several quest series finished in recent time, Will we see the first peaks at a new quest series soon?
4) Will there be development into areas that maybe have not been explored to their full potential, Maybe a village in Prifindas, Or some of the other islands we hear the fremminiks mention so often? Could we see another side to the Lunar Isles?
Thanks,
