Maz & Kieren have had to spend a lot of time on recruitment stuff too... So I hope you'll find it worth the wait.
Are there any plans to higher more staff for bot busting?

That'd be handled outside the OSRS team, even though Weath sits with us and is counted as one of our team for practical purposes. I don't have any info on other teams' headcount changes or recruitment activities.

They are in line with Broad bolts which also cannot be poisoned.

So if your in the members only part of the mining guild, you can know get double the xp of people mining the same rocks elsewhere.

In fact double the xp as you get a +7 extra boost so you get ore's quicker, and you have a bank right there.

I realise that the majority of players now are higher levels, but this smacks of just making the game so much easier. I'd go as far as saying is a never ending bonus XP weekend for miners.

I always understood people wanting updates to the game, but this is quite disappointing.

I guess it shows how far the player base has come since the release of the game.

Traditional mining has mostly been abandoned in favour of other training methods. This update is meant to make it more competitive again.

Just killed another PvP area...Runerocks are in 45 Wildy. With 7+ mining buff, 2x quick response time, 2 rocks and a bank. No one will be mining in Wildy anymore. Killing more and more PvP content.


We'd like to look into making various improvements to Wilderness content.

So there are already methods in game that are twice as quick as the traditional methods. This I did not know, I've missed quite a few updates and didn't realise the game was like that.

Still if it's what the people want I guess you need to feed them

As I said, I find it disappointing, especially now I know that the only way to make a skill competitive is to double the xp rate.

. But I'm afraid I've been a little occupied with other stuff in the last week, including quite a lot of time spent with potential new devs for the team. Maz & Kieren have had to spend a lot of time on recruitment stuff too - it means we've not spent much time devving this week, so you don't get as much as you'd want in today's update, but in the longer term getting that extra dev into the team will help us deliver more in future. So I hope you'll find it worth the wait.


Would that include giving is the game you promised in the original poll, before ignoring it and giving us this.

Now you can have different things happening in different worlds, and your quite happy having low populated worlds (there's 80 people in Deadman 345 and 74 in 337) now would be the time to offer a world to us.

It would show that your willing to cater to all your members, and of course honour the original poll.

If a world with 74 is acceptable I don't see why it would be a problem.

Oh and not splitting the community excuse is also outdates, what with Ironman, hardcore ironman, deadman etc.
