Wasn't really that excited for Inventor. Rather you guys to enrich existing skills.
I was let down by the fact that they released a gatherer skill and then made us wait a loooong time (still waiting) for an artisan skill to go with it. Like derp.
However now I agree that Inventor should be scrapped. Divination isn't a gatherer skill and should be re-classified as support. (Summoning should be re-labeled support too and given more skilling ways to get charms.) Integrating the aspects that would be Invention into existing skills with a focus on Divination sounds like a much more sensible route to me.
Especially excited for all those quests - Zamorak, the Elder Gods (so happy we're prolonging the story there by starting out with just research, not interaction) and the 200th quest idea is fantastic! We'll get to see a lot of well known NPCs in an alternative reality...it'll be like Turn Left in Doctor Who! Looks like it's going to be another epic year for the game's story, thank you!
Everything else sounds awesome, and I'm really happy you addressed some of those mislayed ideas that didn't make it into 2014.
AND TUSKA!
So ready for the Tuska world event! Yes!!!!!!
And to protect the Stone until such a time as, near to death, whereby you are relieved of all duties and shall henceforth be returned to your home plane with the gratitude and blessings of Guthix.

Hey there. I would just like to preemptively register my concern that you guys are even THINKING that just because Prifddinas passed instead of Inventor, we don't want a new skill. Heck, I voted for Prifddinas, and I TOTALLY want a new skill! We wanted Prifddinas because we've been waiting for it so long, but in no way does that imply that we didn't want Inventor just because we wanted Prifddinas first! The stats even show that; I believe, when the poll ended, it was something like 55% Prifddinas, and 45% Inventor, right? Almost half your voting player base wanted Inventor, and now that you've made the Elf City, I'm sure that proportion is MUCH higher. Don't give up on it 'cause it didn't pass. We definitely still want it.
Also, first page. I've never been on the first page... the heady redolence of the elite is positively intoxicating...
So much is going to happen in 2015, can't wait! I'm happy that Jagex is bringing up the new idea of having RuneLabs because players can easily show what they would like to see and then their peers can vote/support on it. Team Fortress 2 also does this within Steam by having a Steam Community Workshop for people to share ideas
Thankyou very much for a detailed and fast summary of what has been discussed at Runefest...for those of us that couldn't get there for whatever reasons, and don't have time to sit through the entire stream.
