stop forcing players to secure their account with authenticators and what not for a reward in game. Its not about a reward its about account security. youre litterally forcing people to do what u think is best for them, by giving them a disadvantage if they resist. litterally a dictatorship. Its not ur choice to make. I get that u care for ur players and want to encourage players to secure their accounts 'properly' in ur terms. but this is not encouragement its enforcement. No offence but basically as bad as MTX. looking forward to the rest - excited

Oh okay my bad I hadn't realized that there was a question regarding the interface change in the poll, I do apologize for any ungratefulness in my previous comment.
Totally no worries

There's one or two things where we genuinely did change more than was strictly necessary, such as glassblowing and spinning wheels, both of which got a bit of tidying of their menu alignment. Also a lot of code maintenance done behind the scenes, since what we had before was extremely bad for expansion, and this was an opportunity to get the codebase tidied up. So you'd actually be right that we did more work than was strictly necessary - though the new menu wasn't part of it

And you all excited about dragon slayer 2, but this isn't new content it'll have addy and rune drags which is old rs3 dead content
Haven't you got any new ideas or is it all these new developers from rs3 can only think of old rs3 content?
New ideas? Yup, there's an entire new quest, and a new guild, and various combat equipment additions, and a new runecrafting feature, and a new boss, and possibly a F2P quest too. Plus rather a lot of other unique content introduced at RuneFest, including a different style of raiding dungeon, and more unique content in planning that wasn't fitted into that stage session. Enjoy.

rather than giving me a history lesson instead of dodging the question, how about an answer
That was my straight answer to your question; it was "no". I appreciate you may have had a different answer from other staff, though; we don't have a centralised depot of confirmed answers to all these questions. So it may well come in future, but I've not heard about any plans for it, and I've explained why I don't feel it to be appropriate.

LOLOL At new quest yes but you still putting old rs3 content, instead of old drags which are dead content on rs3 cant they come up with something new and original to kill instead of more dragons which tbh arent needed in 07 we have brutals and enough as for the rest of the new stuff you saying we shall see have much it will fail
Also we dont need a new guild either as for another f2p quest they seem to get better updates than members atm

Yes. We'd naturally prefer to leave players to decide, of their own free will, to look after their accounts properly, but we've found that doesn't work very well. Last I heard, less than half of OSRS players bothered using the authenticator, even though we've offered it over and over again for so long.

If a player who got hijacked and lost stuff would always conclude " I guess I chose not to use those security features, but it was my choice and I accept the consequences ", that'd be absolutely fine. However, not everyone in RS is particularly security-savvy, and they don't always seem to make informed decisions - and they frankly come screaming to us when they've lost stuff in avoidable ways. Which isn't good for their experience of the game either.

So while I appreciate that we are forcing you to improve your account security, you'll perhaps understand why we're finding it necessary.

Yup, there's definitely quite a few new and original things to kill, in addition to the two kinds of dragon that have made you so upset. Enjoy the rest of the blog

I'm afraid I don't agree with your concern about F2P getting better updates than members, since the blog is offering rather a lot of members' content - in addition to the two dragons you've chosen to focus on - and has very little for F2P.

Mastrshafter this ^^^^^^ this is what happens when they bring over rs3 staff to OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE, they bring in their rs3 idea's as well, here's a little history lesson (ash) who was your target future playerbase when talk of osrs was conceived, it was all those u/jagex ran off on eoc, and yet update after update we see osrs sliding closer and closer to being in the beginning stages of rs3 again, stick with what got this game going, stick to old school, not easyscape, not failed rs3 content, stick with what works, here's a thought, how about after 18 YEARS OF BEING LIVE, how about getting the servers finally stable, or actual customer service from customer support, where every complaint is treated guilty until proven innocent, instead of the other way around b4 u say different departments and that excuse to get u away , u still work for jagex, therefore it is ur department as u are addressing the question

Buck you spot on this is what comes from having failed rs3 staff coming to the original rs and as for the servers they are worse now than 10years ago and i know your hc iron died at skoritzo through know fault of your own.
The new staff arent even worthy of being 07 developers and we just getting more and more rs3 content and itll never stop because they dont know any knew content they gotta just dress it up with a new guild which we dont need and useless drags which will be dead content as fast as they are on rs3

Ash before you retreat and disappear, heres a thought for you.
IMO the last decent original content and the best content ever in osrs was Monkey Madness 2 quest, and before you start trolling out other content lets dissect it for you.
Zeah = priffydis on rs3
Raids is a copy of rs3 content
Cant think of anything else new just old and copied rs3 content just dressed up to get kids excited who never seen rs3

If your various complaints about RS3 ideas coming to OSRS are based on adamant & rune dragons being in the blog (along with many other things) I'm afraid I don't agree with you.

Where we have metal dragons going up to mithril, it seems pretty intuitive that the sequence could be expanded. Do we have to copy how RS3 did it? Nope, and I don't think we're going to. But we're equally not barred from continuing the sequence.

If the actual released content is too much like RS3's content, in a bad way that you can describe and criticise constructively, you'll be entitled to complain about it, and I'll be more interested in what you have to say then.

As for the network conditions over recent times, we're aware that it's not good enough, and we've got the sysadmins and engine team doing everything they can to improve it. And, as for people being banned, if one of your friends legitimately needs one reviewed, direct them to ask Support here .
