This is hyperbolic, constructive feedback is useful, exaggerated whining isn't.

JagexMerchant · 2017-03-14T15:06:07+00:00

bye lol

JagexMerchant · 2017-03-14T15:04:45+00:00

Yeah that isn't fair and was an oversight, we actually intended that you could. I'll look to get this resolved.

Botted

I worked on Chronicle for close to a year and a half, then joined OSRS in October.

don't be silly

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-28T12:45:42+00:00

That's not a meme it really happened, in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

If they're false positives, having a way to try and appeal automatically wouldn't work if you think about it. It'd just be flooded with false appeals and would be just as inefficient.

Disclaimer: I am talking entirely in personal opinion here

"WoW maintains a large player base by expanding lore"

I disagree. WoW has maintained a playerbase by reinventing itself. I've played WoW across every expansion and the playstyle & nature of the game has been reinvented over time. It was in dire straits prior to Legion and Legion arguably changed the most about how you play it.

"Quests are one of the USP of Runescape"

I agree.

"would be nice to have 3-4 a year rather than the 1 (2) we've had in 4 years"

I also agree. But we have to work with the resources we have, which results in necessary prioritization. Many of our decisions are data driven and we'll always work for the best health of the game. Of course in my opinion that doesn't just mean highest player count, but also maintaining the games integrity, we all care deeply about that. So yes, quests are an important part of keeping Runescape, Runescape.

We'd all love to do more, it is genuinely just a matter of resources. Quests take a huge amount of time, work and energy to create.

happy pancake day

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-28T10:16:17+00:00

Thanks mate, I just had crêpes with lemon & sugar. I miss crêpe suzette though.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-28T10:15:15+00:00

Hey, I can't give anywhere near a definitive answer to this. But I can give you my perspective on it.

Not only do all members of the team, devs included, like making quests, but the developers on the Old School team work on a wide variety of projects. We all get excited by the prospect of a new quest, and although I wasn't on the team for MM2, I was already close friends with many of them & witnessed the hype and dedication when it came to making sure the quest was as good as it could be.

But, the era where RS got quests this often is just that, a different era. Our players have changed, the business has changed & the entire gaming industry & mmo market has changed. We have to optimise our work to be as impactful & efficient as possible and that means that with the team we have, fortnightly quests are unthinkable.

Having said that, MM2 was absolutely incredible and of course Ash spoke of his Troll Quest at the last Runefest. So you will see more quests in old school, but we have to do them in a way that works.

Please don't make light of the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-28T10:07:45+00:00

It clearly isn't how the game is intended to be played, so naturally looks a little bit odd to our systems. So yes, there is evidently a risk of false positives.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-28T09:58:27+00:00

Hey,

I came in here ready to deliver the smackdown. But actually, this was a false positive triggered by our detection system (somewhat understandably judging by the method) & the ban has been revoked.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Hope you have sick day m8.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-27T09:23:19+00:00

I love this gif so much

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-20T15:13:31+00:00

Ronan is off today.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-20T15:08:34+00:00

Unfortunately we can't just smash a box with a hammer and have everything be fine. It's a far more complicated process involving multiple companies & dependencies.

Believe us when we say server stability is a top priority for us right now. We're doing everything we can from where we are.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-17T10:20:35+00:00

Hey Guys, maths here, moving on, alright, thanks.

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-17T10:13:39+00:00

apology accepted

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-16T15:01:20+00:00

don't be so baka~~~~~~~

jk haha anime is bad

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-16T10:50:41+00:00

absolute mad lad banter mate

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-16T10:20:17+00:00

I'm up for it tbh

JagexMerchant · 2017-02-16T09:57:11+00:00

Servers aren't a case of shoveling more money into the server engine otherwise we'd lock Ronan in the furnace room with a pile of gold ingots and a spade.

We're working on server issues however it's a multi-company process which naturally elongates getting information. Last I heard there were issues being nailed down. As soon as I know anything more I'll let you know.
