Listener Questions

Question from Trekkie

bxp weekend is here at again.

While most of us are starting to have 99s for those who have been here for a long time, what other bonus weekends would you like to see?

Bonus drops (potential for mid/high level drops to double)?

bonus harvest weekend (double wc/mining/ farming) for items?

bonus points for minigames?

If you wanted a bonus weekend, even if each of the 3 days were different, what would you want to see more of?

Question from Thieves

Hey guys,

This is a question I've been thinking about to myself all week: Where do you guys think you'd be in life if you hadn't have found Runescape all those years ago?

Keep up the good work :)
