RuneScape Discussion

Shift to expansions
Reduced update frequency
Menaphos was not what players expected
Major shift in content strategy was the result: smaller updates, unfinished business, back to basics approach

Limited communication but…
A focus on keeping players updated on what’s coming when it’s ready to be revealed
Regular communication from the leadership team
Creation of player value by bringing tentpole pieces of content (pandemic aside)

A resumption of 2023 content frequency: monthly or bi-monthly updates of small to medium size with a key launch?
Holding pattern?

A fully detailed plan of the first half of the year with updates on what’s coming later

Luck now improves the chances for Big Game Hunter to spawn more than one dinosaur.
Grizzly Bears and Black Bears no longer appear purple when textures are disabled.

A new warning screen has been added when interacting with the Chest of Souls inside your Player-Owned Dungeon.
Spirit Attraction Potion duration has been extended from 6 minutes to 15 minutes.
Players can now start Sinkholes with 2-5 players.
When starting the Tears of Guthix minigame, if you have the items and level required to cast the Enlightenment ability, but have yet to cast it, Juna will now ask whether you still want to continue.

Added Daily Challenge streaks to the quick chat.
The 'Perk Out!' achievement now counts active tier 1 perks that have been permanently unlocked by completing breeding logs at Manor Farm.
Players are now limited to purchasing 3 membership passcodes with Bonds per week.
Fixed an issue where Wild Jade Vine could be killed with combat styles other than melee. Wild Jade Vine can only be killed with melee now.
The 'Ravensworn' trait once again is not possible to be acquired through re-rolling in the Player-owned farm at Manor farm.
The Dominion Tower XP Book interface has been updated and Necromancy has been added to the XP Book's rewards list.
The Beast of Burden preset will withdraw selected items regardless of quantity in the player's Bank. If the quantity is insufficient, the preset will withdraw and load what is actually available.
