Yes, Blood Runs Deep was supposedly inspired from a player made thread. That or several of them. I myself wrote one called "The Fremmennik Prophecy" (I am aware I misspelled Fremennik back then) that held elements I noticed in Blood Runs Deep.
Well, Blood Runs Deep was released in 2009. Since then, there has been that dysfunctional layer of management actively trying to make the game suck, so I wouldn't know. Fingers crossed.

And as for other player made MEP3's: I've heard of at least two on the forums, but I've only seen one. He calls his "Dark Lord Rising." I'm really not a fan of it, as it seems very rambling, and has little to do with Elves really.
(snip)
But the fact some of his ideas get into Prifddinas brings me hope that Jagex is at the very least reading our work on the forums.
Maybe I'm biased towards you, having read your thread and spoken to you first, but his thread reminds me too much of that flop called Birthright of the Dwarves. The only thing that seems even half decent are the post-quest minigames. I might post on his thread, or I might not, considering the way he's responded to criticism.

Anyway, I'm currently in the long process of copying and pasting my entire script here onto my Google Drive, so I can send one big bundle of an email to
Mod John A.
My computer broke, so I'm trying recover my work here for the future. I may even print it out.
Best of luck on that. Hopefully Mod John A gives a positive response.

Edit: Oh, and be sure to tell us what Mod John A said. Runescape Forumers Discord Server

Of course I'll try to post here his response, but remember that in the best case scenario they enjoy and want to use it, I would probably need to agree to a non-disclosure agreement.

And somewhat unrelated, I think BoTD biggest flaw was how much hype it had. If we read a script (like this one) for BoTD, it would probably seem like the perfect quest. But once it was in-game, I imagine it suddenly began to look sort of... Incomplete.


And I encourage posting on Dark Lord Rising. The author would certainly be pleased that some of his ideas are into Prifddinas. But don't expect him to agree with your constructive criticism! When I posted some there he went on the defence and wrote some explosively rude things. He even posted on this thread saying, and I quote,

Just as I thought. Crap quest, no support.
The worst part is he then called a forum mod to clean up my "flames" on his thread... Right after he edited all his posts to me to make him seem respectful.

But, the past is in the past. Tell him I said hi. :D I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

I think I would have hated it even if I read the script beforehand.

-Ikadia suddenly popping in to explain the existence of Chaos Dwarves was totally out of place, like recruiting monkeys to retake Prifddnas (see what I did there?)
-No explanation for Chaos Giants
-No explanation for Veldaban suddenly negotiating with the trolls
-The new dragon weapons were implemented for the sake of being implemented
- No post quest dialogue
-Hreidmar's Red Axe hideout is a copy of Keldagrim?

And bear in mind the quest was delayed for a week and a half, and it was still like this.

We all know Mod John A is perfectly capable of releasing top-notch content, as seen from The Chosen Commander and One Piercing Note. I can only guess as to what caused him to come out with this disappointment.

Alright, maybe BoTD wasn't all we expected it to be. A finale quest shouldn't raise more questions than it answered.

Anyway, I have this script all bundled up into Google drive now. Did some mandatory editing, like added some Zaros-based dialogue with Seren. I'm also leaning towards adding the ability for the Crystalline shapeshifter to be re fought in Prifddinas as a solo boss, or a "greater" shapeshifter for groups. Just so the "Elf city" will have another resource.
Now... Does anyone know how I can get this to Mod John A? I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

Twitter, of course!

Bah, looks like I'll need to start a twitter then... Blegh. For the greater good!


Happy International Star Wars day everybody!

May the Fourth be with you! I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

The names of the eight Elf clans have been confirmed. Jmods can't seem to remember them!

Prifddinas will be hovering over a crater.

No bosses in Prifddinas.

The Elf finale won't be the Elf finale. New series inbound.

Seren has NO role.

We won't enter Prifddinas during the quest.

Something about non-Elves.

But it DOES require Catapult Construction!

Not our quest. :( I’m not great at this game, but I do love quests.

Hmm, if there are to be subsequent Elf quests, it makes sense that they do not use your script. King Tyras being Guthix-level dead is too much of an Aborted Arc, though.

Well, I do hope they know what they're doing. To quote someone else in the FGU forum:

I will personally lose all remaining faith in Jagex should this quest turn out to be as bad as the previous two quest finales. Runescape Forumers Discord Server
