1) RuneScape doesn't have many characters that could really be considered "iconic", in the sense that they broadly represent the game. I assume that part of the motivation for the Signature Heroes was to create a set of characters that would serve as mascots for the game's storyline. Is there any intention to continue using the Signature Heroes for this purpose? If not, then which characters do you think best serve as representatives for the game?
2) Will "mortal" races (i.e., races with power comparable to humans) have a place in future story content, or is it just going to be gods and Mahjarrat all the way through? I know that mods have vetoed continuing the Gnome quest series because gnomes are supposedly uninteresting, but I think it's good for the story to have some focus on ordinary beings that are more relatable to us.
3) Needle Skips was obviously a big departure from most quests you have made, and I'm curious about how you think that experiment worked out. One thing that I found remarkable about it is how the story is pretty much entirely self-contained, using characters and locations that are exclusive to the quest (similar to One Piercing Note, and I would consider both to be excellent quests
). Do you think that these sorts of isolated storylines are worth pursuing, or are they too much of a distraction from developing the "main" storyline?
4) Finally, what would need to happen for more quests to start being produced again? I've heard that part of the reason why not many new quests are being developed is that they're a lot of effort to make and not a lot of players play them. Regarding the first factor, what has been preventing the creation of more "bottle quests"? These supposedly take much less development time than most quests, but we have only received one this year, You Are It. And regarding the second factor, how do we get players interested in quests again? I honestly don't know myself, but it would be interesting to hear your ideas!
