Does Jagex plan on updating the forums? They seem pretty outdated.

I'd think so, but there are other site tasks that seem to be higher priority for the team.

Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

What are you looking for in terms of The RSOF? What are you missing talking about functionality?

This, pretty much. While I agree the forums are needing to be updated/have some more features, the rest of the website needs to be updated first. We've seen updates happening slowly with the Support Centre, News Posts and now the website as a whole, which is now mobile friendly. Let's hope the forums are soon to follow.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Since RuneScape was the first getting the overhaul 'The Office' is the last and definitely the most difficult/complex overhaul with the greatest risk and The RSOf probably the final overhaul.

Throughout the last few years, people have brought up the idea for a Forums update. Unfortunately, as it has been mentioned many times by Mod Lyon, their time has been and it still is currently invested in other more important and bigger projects. Mod Lyon has been on top of things by letting us know that he's aware and agrees that the RSOFs need an overhaul. It's just that the time has not been allotted to it yet given the fact that their other projects importance supersedes this one.

I must agree that we are way behind with features and whatnot, but it's important to mention and recognize that at least we have been heard and Mod Lyon has been the main voice of reason when it comes to threads asking for an update. Yea, we are not getting an update for now, but at least they have been transparent and communicative by informing us that they have other deadlines and assignments to complete that have higher meaning and significance than updating the Forums.

If you wish to see Mod Lyon's response, you may head here: Forum Overhaul :

Like Mrs Ana shared, the forums aren't [regrettably] our current priority, and we're working hard on some big development sized work at the moment. I'll keep your thread on our community suggestions notes though and relay this to the rest of the team, if we manage to get round to updating these hallowed halls.

Thanks,
Mod Lyon
