- Ice dye poll: Trying to find out if players would enjoy the concept of an icyene dye. All options were not included on the poll because more options means a majority of players wouldn’t be voting for that option. The biggest reason is that in multi-option polls, the options that don’t win gain traction. i.e. Floor 61.
- Mod Osborne wants to train the community to say ‘No’ more often. If there’s something you don’t like, say no, post about it, let Jagex know.
- Players also seem to have an issue voting if they don’t know what the other options are, but if Jagex reveals other options those other options as said end up gaining traction as well.
- Goal: Get the dev blog out early, include the poll text, get the feedback early, and not need to change the poll text.
- Polls that have a substantial text change that will change the results will have the poll text changed. The poll text was changed with the ice dye.
- Next ninja projects: Slayer creatures, timed hiscores, boss drop log.
- F2P:
- Warriors guild, defenders, quests (i.e. Broken Home), Paterdomus, maybe even the Fletching skill.
- F2P should not feel like you’re hitting a hard brick wall.
- F2P feels like a demo but you should be able to continue to play as F2P.
- Some people may be stuck in F2P but Jagex wants people to keep playing in this case.
- Mining and Smithing: See dev blog.
- Luck of the dwarves will tell you what was dropped and hazelmere’s signet ring will tell you what was doubled.
- Invention Batch 2 releases in September.
- Achievements: Slight delay due to some critical bugs. Coming out “very soon” in the “next few weeks.”
- Skilling supply/pvm rebalance with supplies:
- Not looking to do this right now.
- Future drop tables won’t have nearly as many skilling supplies as there are now.
- Crystal skillchompas did it a little bit as did rune value improvements.
- Skilling diversity will be talked about at RuneFest.
- There is something in the works for Karamjan god content that was tied to some content back in 2013. Unsure if to release the content now or tie it to something larger.
- Clans:
- Not a permission rework, would be a massive project.
- Something clan related will likely come from a TAPP project.
- Next year’s theme will be revealed at RuneFest. Something that each update will hopefully touch. It will be a “mic drop event”

Question from Trekkie
Greetings! it is I Trekkie. LEADER of Omicron Perci 8!
With the quality of life change to treasure trails coming into the game, what other quality of life changes would you like to happen with Treasure trail? If you cannot think of one, what quality of life changes would you make for another skill?
Peace out!
Question from Thieves
Hey guys,
1. With Shattered Worlds getting the much needed anima boost,
- What other minigames would you like Jagex to update?
- What would you change about these minigames to make them more successful?
2. Menaphos reputation system is still universally loathed,
- Do you think it's worth Jagex's time to sort the reputation mess out?
- What rewards would you add to the reputation system to make it feel more worthwhile?
Cheers guys.
