Questions for Jagex

[Laikrob]

Hi all,

 

We have the possibility to ask Jagex a few questions, and once again we have thought about doing a clan themed Q & A. Then we could hog all the questions, OR we could let you suggest some of them...

 

Feel free to post some general RS questions too, but keep in mind that we will try to have at least 50% clan and warring related questions.

Please post your questions here, and we will use as many of them as possible. :^_^:

 

 

Laikrob,

My question would be;

 

"When it comes to planning and grafting updates and renewing older areas of the game, do you ever find yourself having to accomodate because of the large influence of clans in Runescape? How do you get around some update ideas that could upset the balance of clan warring and lifestyle?"

[Guthorm]

Have you(Jagex) considered adding for active game play content(such as Jad) instead of the usual click and wait? For example a combat overhaul or special bar overhaul that allow player to have more interaction during combat...or even skilling. The typical click X and wait for 15 seconds game play is rather dull and more active game play can never hurt.

 

PS: By adding more I meant will RS shift into a more active game play trend?

[Hegelstad]

Do you consider adding more useful activities or more content to more or less abandoned cities, such as Nardah, Pollivneach, Port phasmatys, Keldagrim, Ardougne and Tree Gnome stronghold?

 

I feel kind of alone when venturing in these cities.

[deletemeplease]

Was there ever or will there ever be any thoughts or ideas on downloading map packs or certain parts of Runescape to possibly make it run faster/better?

[CruelKiller]

Is there a possibilty to add a member counter in the clan chat and probably new arena for the CWA minigame?

[Low C]

I'm interested in hearing about the Eastern Lands and Priffida's, Doubt they would even answer anything on it though.

[Kaur]

I'll list the main problems of the clan world (in my opinion atleast)

 

1. With so many no honour clans with dirty tactics using the enemy team cape, is it possible to move the team cape effect of moving down the "attack" option to clan chats instead?

2. Bigger clans can't fit in one clan chat. When will the technology advance enough to be able to handle 150/200 people?

3. With the addition of new prayer books, members in free to play clans are put at a huge disadvantage. They have to waste 5 minutes before and after every fight just to switch prayer books. Why not completely disable the curses in f2p worlds and give them back when logging to members worlds? (Same applies to spellbooks)

I asked the same question to clan discussion on this topic. You can have a look if you find something interesting.

 

One question I had in mind is why does Jagex not participate more in fan sites activities like posting on fan sites on a more regular basis, and listening to what people outside of RSB boards have to say. Most of RSB clans are novice compared to RSC and TWR clans, why not look in to what they have to share with jagex for a change.

My question:

 

Wheres my 3b bank with divine that you promised me for my bday?

[Abkb24]

Make a risk in castle wars ;p

[Danny_TeamDan]

How much [bleep] would I have to suck to get rid of CWA and get a couple more pvp/bh worlds in return?

[mrmyk]

What are the long-term prospects for Runescape? We have already seen the quantity of updates decline; will we be reduced to monthly updates in the future?

 

Why isn't the current drop system simply incorporated into all Runescape worlds?

[zq50]

Will you just make the game free?

[Shutai]

Will you just make the game free?

+1

 

"Runescape - MMORPG - The No.1 Free Online Multiplayer Game" I'm poor irl.

[Demichelis]

How about this question: Most of us clanners here in RSC/TWR have always wanted more worlds to fight in. Why not just re-enable the ability to PK in the Wilderness in regular worlds and use the same reward system as in PvP worlds? I can nearly guarantee that if this happens, a lot more clans will be active in PvP and all the top 15 clans can finally shut the hell up about clans not using the Wilderness. (Don't add the comment afterwards)

Q1: Are you going to try and remove the "ability" to Cabbage Teleport using the Explorer's Ring in CWA so that you can't accidentally Cabbage teleport out while trying to re-charge your run energy instead - since you have already removed other teleporting methods such as the Ring of Life?

 

Q2: I'm aware you are working on (with difficulty) trying to let Solo Dungeoneerers re-enter their dungeon if they disconnect momentarily. I was wondering if this becomes possible, would you plan to possibly use similar methods on allowing those who disconnect in CWA to re-join the CC and re-enter the war and participate instead of assuming the player had died and making them watch from the jail?

[Pepsiguy]

i would ask if they are gunna do anything to menaphose (or is it sophamen?) and priffida, even though i would like the mostly abandoned cities should be updated so more people will come there, but i like it empty so people aint asking me for 5k an crap like that

[Snowblood]

A complete lagg free world for Clan Wars, all those Dc's ... -.-

[Mateusz328]

We have our polish J-Mod supporting DH, Mod Karolina. I'd ask her for a date, eh.

[Thisbenathan]

How many of your employees get off when they realize the intense hatred they receive after 85% of their updates?

[Ultimair]

Can you focus on completing quest story lines before making different ones? Like, I've been waiting to get into that Elf City forever...

[Laikrob]

Thanks for the questions so far, please keep them coming.

 

I will compile them on Sunday, so you still have a few days to think up a few. A few more clan related ones would be good aswell. :thumbup:

[20Rice04]

Q1. Do you see any possibility in designing a pvp system for CWA? The current 'dangerous' fight drops hardly make it worth the risk.

 

Q2. For Cwa is there any possibility of introducing more maps? I'm sure ones like Greater Demons to East Tree would be greatly appreciated. That coupled with the possibility of a good drop system in dangerous CWA would mean clans could pvp without having to worry about crashers.

 

Q3. Will we be seeing an increase in the clan chat capacity anytime soon? Furthermore is there any possibility that the operator of that cc could give greater priviledges to different ranks?

 

Q4. What is your view (if any) on clans who use No Honour tactics such as mass name changes, crashing and cape switching?

 

Q5. The term 'no honour' has certainly evolved over the past few years. Are you currently aware that Hacking, real life threats and (D)DoSing are becoming more commonplace within the clan world? Do you feel that JaGex intervention and proper recognition of the clan world would lessen the extent to which these 'tactics' are used? Do you think this inervention may actually become necessary in order to stop some selfish children in different clans doing some serious damage to your game?

 

that is all :)

Will you ever allow clans to advertise their websites on runescape forums, and in game... without getting reported?
