I know this one leans towards the bad topics, so I wont feel bad if you ignore this, but I've been wondering:

How did Xau-Tak settle on Giellinor before the eredicts of Guthix were destroyed
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.

Drat, have been hoping for a forum Q&A for a long time and then it's in video format. :( Don't have the time to watch that...maybe over the holidays. :/

1) The removal of Mobilising Armies (which I maintain is probably the worst move since mtx), the story hooks related to ARMS and its members (Finda's conspiracy, Bertol's HAM plot) and expeditions (TzHaar colony, treasonous Knight of Falador) are also gone. What were the original plans for those, if any?

2) What is the current status of postbags (last one announced got cancelled), which used to be the primary source of story nuggets and future update hints, and Lores & Histories (Mod William's revival a few years ago seems to have been short-lived)? It doesn't help that the website entries for the postbags, god letters etc. have been deleted.

3) In retrospect, would you have done the Sixth Age story in the first place and if so, what would you have done differently?

4) How much are quest series affected by change of curator/developer? In particular, since fewer quests are released all the time, developers are bound to leave mid-series.

5) I think everyone including the author wanted a sequel to Legacy of Blood focussing on the characters' adventure to Kandarin. Why did this never happen?

Cheers. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Who would win in a fight between the original Nex and the Nex from Dimension of Disaster (Hydra, Virius, Dragon and Mahjarrat hybrid).

About the cycle of "The Great Revision":
A. Is OSRS a previous revision of the RS3 universe.
B. Is RS3 a previous revision of the OSRS universe.
C. Both of the above are true, being trapped in an endlessly repeating cycle.
D. Neither; RS3 and OSRS exist within the same universe, possibly orbiting each other in a binary system as shown in the POH Study (Large Orrery)?

Could Dahmaroc be brought back to life with an Animate Rock Scroll?

What are the "exact" conditions for activating World Guardian powers?

Why did Sliske not experiment on Akrisae when creating the Rise of the Six?

What would happen if Sliske tried to "Wight-ify" the player after becoming the World Guardian? If he could, why didn't he?

What is the worst lore question you've ever been asked?

What if the Stone of Jas was never destroyed? What possible turns could the story have taken?

Is there one event or piece of history in Runescape you wish had gone differently? (To all Jmods)

Why did you introduce Xau-Tak? What purpose does it bring to the story?

How do you transform a saying into the key lesson of a story? For example, "power corrupts" or "history repeats itself". In long storylines there are several lessons learned, yet some aren't ever mentioned. What do you do to make that saying into a quest?

* Why didn't Tuska sink after crashing? Why have you decided to keep it as a huge eyesore near the desert? Any plans to let her go and leave a smaller memorial site behind?

* What are your thoughts on Signature Heroes? In hindsight, was it a right move to introduce a group of player-like NPC adventurers with intention of having them feature in many quests? What do you like about them, and what do you not like about them?

* Quests about the dragonkin and elder gods usually rank the highest in player surveys. Why do you think that is? Why isn't there similar interest in, say, Elemental Workshop or the Gnomes?

* Would you rather continue a 5th age quest series or start some new 6th age quests?

* Do you think the Goebie quest series (if we can call that a single small quest) has potential for the future? Would you like to continue it? Join the RuneScape community on Reddit in
