That is kind of unfortunate for those of us that have zero interest in the deadman mode part of the game really. Being new i expect quite a few updates coming to deadman mode that will be interfering with players like me who have no interest in it at all. I understand some may like it and i'm happy for those players. I just wish that the rest of us wouldn't be inconvenienced by it to much.
I appreciate that it's an inconvenience for you, yes. Mind you, updates don't always appeal to all players. Many skillers will have been kicked offline for a few minutes each week when we're releasing combat updates, and next year it'll be the same for combat enthusiasts as we launch skilling updates.

I don't expect us to be launching updates away from the usual Thursday morning timeslot very often, so hopefully you'll just be back to the standard once-per-week reboot in future. And hopefully there'll usually be something in the updates that's of interest to you, alongside anything done to Deadman Mode.

In regards to Deadman Mode, will GP Swapping between Deadman/OSRS/EOC be legal? I hope it isn't because I feel that it hurts the integrity of the both game modes, especially Deadman Mode. For instance, the first player to obtain 85 slayer and receive a whip who sells it for (X amount of 07gp) seems relatively unfair. Just trying to clarify if this is in fact illegal, what actions are in place to prevent swapping? I don't play Deadman, but through streams such as B0aty's, I saw plenty of accounts advertising swapping.

I think you misunderstood me. My post i made was in regards to updates outside of the usual weekly update slot. That is where my concern lies. Kind of hard to plan out a long boss trip with friends if at any moment an update notification can pop up. And that was the concern i was raising. i know not all updates will appeal to others. Seeing how i do not pk and i do not care for pking updates and such. But even if added i know i do not have to do any pking lol

My main concern like i said is with updates coming outside of our regular scheduled updates. As that does in fact interrupt other players trying to play the game. So i'm sure you can understand my point of view of lets say getting a team to go to Bandos just getting there and getting a notification of an update that has nothing at all to do with osrs. It can be frustrating to the rest of your customers like myself. Which is why i raised the question.

My suggestions:

• Allow respawn points to be random, so that way high level players with 0 items can't take advantage of players near Lumbridge castle. Regardless of the guards, they'll still constantly attack the same player over and over.

• Allow us to choose 3 combat skills, as the majority of players choose Hitpoints as one of the combat skills.

Ah, okay. Yes, I thought you were focusing on Deadman mode, after you mentioned it early in your post.

We don't do updates away from Thursdays lightly, for this precise reason. However sometimes we will not be able to leave an issue to the following Thursday, and we will have to accept that customers like yourself will be frustrated at being kicked offline.

The stretching issue on the anti-panties was really quite embarrassing, btw.

Mod Ash i can understand that lol I know glitches pop up as do bugs as well and its hard to test what every single player will do with certain new items and such. So i can understand as many others can as well when a new patch is needed.

"We'll be working on some other tweaks after the weekend. Popular requests include a timer to show how much longer your skull will last, and an indicator to clarify whether you're at risk of a harsh death, among many other player suggestions."

I think this is where my confusion/concern came from about the unscheduled updates. As it seems to imply we can expect more unscheduled updates come Monday or shortly after.

(on a side note that glitch is disturbing..........)

Also would like to know if i can fish and cook on my alt for my main, because i don't want to be banned on all 4 versions.
Mat's not around just now for me to ask, and I would not wish to mislead you on this sort of thing, which is why I've not been answering the "what's allowed?" questions in this thread. Sorry.

Ah, no, I meant that we'd be doing the work after the weekend. For launch at a convenient moment - which would hopefully be a Thursday.
