Mod Reach (was it him or do I mix names here? SORRY) fleshed out the über quest quite well in the latest stream, but can you tell on this point what kind of requirements the quest would have; what to expect on that regard?

Original message details are unavailable.
Like others have said, a player council doesn't really seem like that great of an idea. It's a nice way to try and gauge some actual reasoning behind some of the community's votes and et c. rather than just a No or Yes vote.

But I don't think it's the best idea, it would just turn into a popularity contest between streamers/youtubers. Perhaps just a hand-selected amount of people that Jagex could allow them to send messages to and etc. about what they think of the votes and such. A council by definition actually does build the abstracts on which to build on the decisions. People are getting upset only because of missunderstanding.

I love the idea of a map expansion.

One of my problems with Runescape many years a go was introducing new places and features into an already crowded and beloved map-space. An expansion would allow a nicer distribution of new content.

It will be interesting to see how this area will be implemented; will al players have access to it? Could it be the introduction of level 'zones' like many other mmos have? And will it be directly attached to the mainland or an entirely new island(s)? This excites me very much.

Personally I would love to the lizardmen populate this new land, and although many will disagree (this is just what I would like), I want to see some dinosaurs or ancient creatures of Gielinor thought extinct like wyverns.

The possibilities are endless; new gods, lore, skilling zones, trees, fish, creatures, weapons, bosses - ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE!

What ever happens with this, the expansion of the map will be one of my most anticipated updates in my 10 years of playing this game...

If it passes a poll... (Fingers Crossed)

A lot of good sounding stuff I guess but a few things from me:

1) I don't want a new GE.
2) Don't care about a new skill.
3) What the hell do they mean about 'trading solutions' because if they're going to introduce a limit or cap on free trade I'm gone again...
4) bank tabs are a good idea.


Some people want to keep the game just as it was in '07' ... I understand where they're coming from, but do not agree. I want small updates like bank tabs and have no problem with them - but some big updates will ruin the game again and a free trade cap and a GE are (I believe) two of them.

'Next week we are going to start talking to you about the trade solution. We will be launching a survey to find out what is important to you in a trading solution and why you want it. Once we have this information we can start designing the solution for you in time to be polled in content poll #20 (starting on the 28th May). Of course, how long this takes to develop will depend on the final design.'

1) What is the trade solution?
2) Is it similar to the trading restrictions as imposed before?
3) 'why you want it' - I've not seen anyone ever talking about trading solutions - you can try and tell us why we would want it but Jagex is not a completely honest company and does (like almost all companies) lie from time to time.
4) Will we be able to vote on whether we want the 'trade solution'? Or just choose selections which you provide for is in a poll?

Sounds amazing. I'm looking forward especially the new uber quest + land expansion, achievement diaries and a new skill. They're certainly some updates what this game needs since there have been too much PvP and PvM updates, even in my eyes.

I agree with pretty much every one else. Player Council sounds unnecessary.

I do think though that every one saying no to a new skill should wait and see what is suggested BEFORE they say no to it. There are some who will vote no, even if they like a concept, just because they want to keep the game the same. It could be the skill that gets released is one everybody loves. And these JMods seem reasonable enough to actually REMOVE it if the majority dislike it. Got 3rd age vambraces in 2014. Still mad.

If you add another 50% land mass to oldschool with the uber quest, wouldn't it be a good idea to integrate clues into it, for example coordinates, npc puzzles, riddles, ect. There's not point having it made, with only a quest and some skilling to come with it. There should be something in it for every type of player, and something every player likes to do. You could maybe develop some ideas for clues in the area, and then add them when the quest comes out.
