Rather disappointed, Solak was said to be probably in March, now it is delayed until May. I understand you guys want to make sure that it is of high quality, but I expected it to be at least April, at least that's what you guys seemed to hint in the streams. My apologies if I offended someone in the Jagex team, but I'd rather just have dates where you guys are sure that it will be released instead of moving the date time after time.

I do like to add though that I think Ramen is doing a great job and I mean honestly no offense towards anyone, I'd rather just have a solid date... Makes things easier to prepare


Don't apologize for there short comings. The money probably was diverted into something more important like treasure hunter promo summer event ect. And why would they be offended? Put the pressure on them all you want, and maybe they will release an update that is complete, with little to no bugs. ( lol no bugs)

Do we get to keep the ring of rares and ring of randoms or are they going to disappear shortly after April 1st?

And good one, thought I was about to pick up a party hat... hehe

After 16 years, wish I had one! :P

So there is really no Easter event and even the Aprils Fools is the smallest we've ever gotten...

Yet we get a new rwt promo every week.


Hey Pupppy, why not give some constructive feedback instead of flaming the content they bring out? As Mod Krista stated they are open to suggestions.

Original message details are unavailable.
Thank you to everyone for your feedback.

Last year we got a lot of feedback that players didn't like that you had to pay to take part for longer than an hour a day, and that they felt like they had to do that hour or they were missing out.
We had a retrospective after the event and concluded that we would remove the tickets and tokens entirely for the next time we run the fayre, and see what happens.
So, this year, this is what we did.
We also made this alongside our "normal" work, and as such decided to freshen up the rewards but keep the majority of the functionality the same.

Mod Mohawk kindly stepped in to the livestream for me because I was at a conference when it was happening. I was the main dev on the project, but all of the live events devs helped out here and there.

With regards to Easter - the eggs were a joke on 'in-game easter eggs', that were part of the fayre last year. As for not having a stand-alone Easter event - I don't know the exact reasons behind this - but it was decided to mix it more of an easter theme to the fayre. I know that the engagement teams are working on loads of really great updates, and I imagine that these were given priority, like the epic clue scroll rework and deep sea fishing that have come out recently.

For those of you who say that it is boring - please feel free to suggest activities for the fayre (or the beach or NovtumberFest) that you would find interesting. We're always happy to get ideas. If you know what you would find interesting tell us - we might well make it happen!

Try searching what flaming actually is.

And can you really not guess what the feedback is?


This is not charity. If the service we are paying for is being delivered in a bad shape, for months or rather even years on, you can be sure we are going to complain, and we won't be nice about it.

Not that it matters anyways, little has changed through all this time, apart from some empty promises that are never fulfilled and quickly forgotten.

Constructive feedback isn't always positive you know. Personally, I've told them time and time again, to stop spamming us with the temporary events, and instead focusing on making fewer of them for a higher quality in return. Back when we had World Events, they were much more unique and had more interesting gameplay; WE1 was skilling and combat at the Lumbridge crater, WE2 was open-world skilling, escorting caravans and safe PvP, WE3 was traversing the anima islands doing various activities to charge a spear to strike at Tuska. Compare those to what we have now:

Lumbridge crater events:
-Beach is skilling at the crater
-Spring Fayre is skilling at the crater
-Novtumberfest is skilling at the crater

...or just buy runecoins/tokens from the GE to complete most of the event instantly.

Currency events (Agents of Fury, Birth by Fire, Deathbeard's demise...): do whatever you normally do for random currency drops. Or just buy a couple large currency packages to auto-complete the event instantly.

Bingo card events (Death lotus training, Walk like a zombie, upcoming Tribal Trials...): do some tasks listed on a parchment. Or just spin through some TH chests and have it auto-complete itself.

For the sake of time, I haven't included everything, because you should get the point by now: copy-paste events are trash in comparison to the World Events. Even the recent content survey results showed this: World Events beat all of the above, as well as some other lazy events that I didn't list.

Apologizing to Jagex is just going to ensure that they won't bother changing their ways, since you're telling them that this is okay. > )

So is the mystical staff obtainable from the spring fayre now? Obviously not all of us were available in the six day window you gave for that staff...


Dont get where you think it is?....

Its your own fault if you werent around for it.

Plus we already have the staff covered by other options:

Like I implied, seven days is a very small window of opportunity in a year, not everyone was present etc etc. I don't mind if its not returned in this event, I'd just be cool to see it obtainable in game again, considering it has a function that yes, there are alternatives, but no equal to.
Just because I have it, it doesn't mean it's true. -

Not looking forward to Solak. Just another group boss to make solo players miserable and poorer.


Why must everything be solo? :@

Your own fault you choose not to find a team...

Thus i fail to see how this makes anyone "poorer"?


Because when I started this game numerous years ago, it could be played solo, none of this clan or group nonsense. With every update for groups I see the time come nearer to quit the game as most content can't be played. A bit like Destiny, but I stopped playing that after 4 months for the same reasons. ;)

So yep, dreaming again; I pretty much will like to have an underground tunnel that leads to many caves and treasures with an entrance via my POH aquarium, and just because I am an adventurer I will like to encounter dangerous and mysterious foes and what ever else that might help me acquire a great fortune... That said... Oh well I was just dreaming :)
Perhaps I can just swim via my POH aquarium to Lumbridge crate Instead of teleporting...
