Listener Questions and Discussion

Question from Probably Writing

From your perspective, how do you think shadow anima works? Is it anti-anima? Does it corrupt other anima or merely consume it? Why did Guthix have control over it?

Question from Taffing Spy

Got any opinions on shadow anima potentially being related to xau-tak in any way? or if shadow anima is related to the corruption of mah's egg (and on that train of thought, why would wen use it)?

Question from Mr Ling

How many bugs did you encounter and did you think the quest was going to end the way it did?

Question from Sunset Fish

How did you discover Runescape? And what do you think that you would be doing if you never did..?
