Hi guys,
We get loads of comments and questions on our youtube channel (www.youtube.com/runescape) and because of the format of the channel system on youtube, some of them get a bit lost from time to time. To make comments easier to answer and track, we've created this thread for friends of the channel to come to see their questions and comments answered. =)
This thread's pretty quick and dirty right now but we'll get it looking nice over the next day or two. meanwhile, let's get to the questions...

RubberDucksPWN: Has a problem with playing RS on his Mac and apparently isn’t alone.
That’ really odd as I know people who do play RS on a Mac. Still, if you’re having a problem then perhaps try the following:
Updating Graphics Drivers
1. Click the Apple.
2. On the "Apple" menu, click "Software Update."
3. If there is a Mac OS X update available, you can install it. If there is a graphics driver update, it will be included in the Mac OS X update.
Other programs
Close any unnecessary software which may be running on your computer. In particular, don't try playing RuneScape at the same time as downloading files or watching Web TV as this doesn't work very well!
Many of the programs that we use can be very demanding on your CPU.
Update Java
1. Click the Apple.
2. On the "Apple" menu, click "Software Update."
3. If there is a Mac OS X update available, you can install it. If there is a new version of Java for Mac, it will be included in the Mac OS X update.
Clear Jagex Cache
1. Choose Users>your user name>Library>Caches.
2. From the Menu bar, choose Edit>Select All.
3. Drag all of the items to the Trash.
4. From the Macintosh HD, choose Library>Caches.
5. Choose Edit>Select All, and drag the items to the Trash. You’ll be required to type in an administrator’s pass.
6. Restart your Mac.
Then, use spotlight to locate the folder .jagex_cache_32 on your computer and delete it

Hope that helps!
lolking202 asks “if you’re a mod in RS, can you get free membership?”
Nope! Player and forum mods are players just like anyone else so they don’t get any benefits that the rest of us don’t get. =)
comments that we don’t post constructive feedback/criticism on the channel.
Have a read of the latest profile message on the channel (7 dec) and hopefully you’ll see where we’re coming from on that one. The quick version is that because of how many comments we get on the channel, we don’t approve them all and so given the choice in the limited time available, are more likely to approve pleasant messages as opposed to people having a moan about them forgetting their password or hating MMG or whatever. However, feedback is often helpful whatever it is and it’s partly with that in mind that we created this thread to give you more chance to get a response to your comments.
sirrunescapevids, “I logged in on HD and the screen started to change colours, look into it”
I suggest checking your water supply as someone may have put something in it. ;) Also, if it’s anything like my computer, if my monitor cable comes loose, the screen has a pink background to it. Could that be it? Either way, I think the problem is at your end. ; )
We'll be back answer a few more as the afternoon goes on. =)

Q: Dear Mod Leeny, I am interested in the amount of Christmas Crackers left ingame since the RuneScape Classic spawn event. im sure other players would find it interesting to know how many Rare items there are left ingame. for all i know Santa Hats? could be rarer than Partyhats or Christmas Crackers.
Please Reply,
-Eldar Dan

A: You could put up a thread on the forums about it.I'm sure people would love to help you out trying to count how many partyhats and santahats there is still left
in game :)
Q: Does the Christmas Event this year require members for a different reward or is it the same for both F2P or P2P?
Alvinator9000
A: All the holiday events are designed for all players (members, non-members)including skill levels and combat levels :)
Q: Do you guys check your YouTube inbox ever? I have sent a few messages and I want to know if they're even being read, not even wondering about replies.
Logdotzip
A: We do read them ;) We reply to a fair few of them though!
Seasons greetings,
Mod Petal.

Q: I have a few recommendations from a long term player :) . I personally would love a game inbox so that players can send other players messages. Also I know that if there was an option for players to pick what they kept on death (Of course a disclaimer to the players that use this option must be present for the players that are new to the game). -Thanks for keeping the game up to date and
continually keeping it as challenging as possible :)
madninja2727
A: The mailbox system isn't such a bad idea, have a look around the forums and check out the threads under the Suggestion forums :) you might get your suggestion heard that way!


Q: Jagex, i got a suggestion. What if you add some member items to free worlds, i bet it would attract more players
TheElectronic1000
A: Members items are members items just because of that ;) They have access to a lot of items and areas of the game because they pay to play!


Q: hey jagex you guys really should update the skillcapes because if you look at the logo on the skillcape and then the logo in the stats tab they will look different!
so please improve them and maybe add a special feature
DUNGEONBLADE
A: Also an excellent suggestion! Please keep them coming :) psst.. use the Suggestion forum for that, this idea is quite awesome ^_^

Q: why did you make the 120 dung cape not look like a skill cape looks more like a castel wars cape not that i mind but also is their any way you can get rid of the the scam websites that end with tk cause i didnt know about it once and i got scammed i ended up paying xx$ to get my account back and well wasnt a fun thing to do i felt like i got black mailed but i was wondering if u would put an announcement out about it i dont want other players to go through what I had to.
aceassassin37
A: The best thing you can do is report these sites to us so we can do something about them :) If you never report things to us it takes us longer to find out!
Personally, i find the 120 Dungeoneering cape one of the nicest ones! :)

Time for another round of questions found on the Youtube wall!
Q: MrAwesomeownage : If we have anough votes, how long will it take to get the old wilderness / staking / trading back in runescape?
A: The votes close somewhere halfthrough january, after that it can take some time, again confer with the FAQ's about this question, if it's not in there it might be posted later on.



Q: GameOverPlayer: My acc name is: Pro sk1llz, he can´t speak. Please help me, rs :) )
Quick chat is poor! Please, i like talk to peoples :) )
A: You will need to go through an age confirmation, you can do this through your account management settings.


Q: hiho19955: could you plz add some old arabian style to the clothes shop of varrock thet could be my xmas gift from you j.mods :)
A: That is quite a cool idea! Have you posted on the Suggestions forums about this ? that's what i would do!


Q: icanpop4u : Jagex, Answer my question please, How many votes do we need to get Old wilderness and Trade back, And really if we don't get it back alot of players just going to quit, People think that your playing a joke on us Don't get our hopes up.. Because this is what we loved about runescape in the good old days, Kind regards - Slayer Skill.
A: We will need a substantial amount of votes, so we make sure that the majority Want this update, get everyone you know on RuneScape to vote! it's very important they do, no matter what they vote, aslong as they do!


Q: telenaification: brawling gloves?........ can we please have bounty hunter and pvp worlds like we have now 'and' old bh please?
A: if it's not covered by our FAQ's or the Newspost, keep checking the forum regularily, there are alot of questions asked, and not all have been answered yet, we are however working on that.
about things like brawlergloves, I believe that Mark has mentioned something about this being too specific at the moment.

FAQ's about Wildy and Free trade can be found here :
Quick find code: 254-255-49-62042278 (Wilderness and Free Trade Vote)

Some more Questions from our Youtube channel wall! :)


Q: Jagex, Wouldn't RWT be a problem again? If so why are you doing this update? please answer. thanks
iceblaze19
A: Our systems have come a long way since 2007, If the Old Wilderness is coming back we have a much bigger advantage now to handle the issue of RTW than we had back then.


Q: will you ever unbann perm banned accounts? you should give people chances
OficialSniper
A: Permanent bans are permanent i'm afraid.
When we issue a permanent ban we are 100% sure there has been a serious offense committed.
Players that choose to macro to gain an unfair advantage, people that purchase items to gain something extra over other players or people that sell items for real money, along with people that use glitches and bugs to gain an unfair advantage over genuine players in the benefit of personal gain.


Q: well i do miss free trade but if jagex bring back free trade probably items would? go on inflation and scammers would probably get back their old job of scamming people unless of course prices of items would still be shown under the trade (not going against the idea of having free trade back of course just saying saying the flaw of it) and since there will be free trade i guess the grand exchange will be of no use cos people would just sell it through trade since they can sell it at any amount they want than maybe jagex could change the grand exchange into something else like a area for minigame for f2p or something else
kingex3
A: Untill the referendum finishes the 14th of January, we can't say anything for certain how things are going to work, however there are several FAQ's on this forum where you can find out the jest things.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but the poll really need to finish before we move into the next stage.


Q: WHY are all of Jagex's subscribers have a top? down shot of revealing girls?
ImAllFact
A: Your guess is as good as mine :)


Q: hay jagex...could you bring back the? old widly and free trade in certen worlds instead of all of them? cuz i like todays wildy....kthxbie
semisane8
A: If you wish the wilderness to come back and you've voted yes, remember that you have voted yes to bringing the entire thing back.warts and all.
We will not bring parts of it back if we do, it's all or nothing :)
