I’ve had two sword-based injuries
I love D&D
My favourite movie is The Thing!
This is my first big project to lead, I'm so excited, I'm so nervous. I really hope you all love it. Please do check out the newspost! Then go slay some Tormented Demons!🌸🩷

Alright, you've gotten to know me a little, now I want to get to know you! Tell me a fun fact about yourself, your favourite film or what you like best about OSRS!
Happy New Year lovelies! This year I joined an incredible team at my dream studio, bought a house and booked my wedding, what a wild year 😅 I cannot wait to get fully stuck in with the OSRS community in 2024.
Celebrate safely and here's to a new year!
Okay I'm bored, let's play a giant game of OSRS Herd Mentality. Aim of the game is guess what the majority will answer. Ready?
What is the cutest pet?
What's the best type of tree?
What's the best vacation spot in Gielinor?
You have until I get bored again later.
This was an absolute joy to put together (with the help of my amazing team and the JMods who have projects of course). It's a beast of a read, but you don't want to miss it! 🌸 Make sure to fill in the survey at the end and tell us what you think!
🧑🍳 GAME JAM = LET JMODS COOK

In all the excitement you might have missed this little mention in the newspost! That's right, I'm doing my first stream tomorrow! Not only that, I'll be hosting! 🌸
Sorry we didn't get to meet today 😞 but the devs have been discussing your feedback and we've been able to provide some updates, which you can find in the updated section of our original newspost. I promise I'll show my face on stream soon! 🌸
📢 PSA: We’re postponing today's planned Q&A for While Guthix Sleeps.
📝 We'd like to use that time to allow the team to make necessary fixes asap, while also considering feedback on complicated topics like loot tables.

This is on our radar but unfortunately a fix wasn't ready for this week's update. Sorry about that, I know it's super frustrating.
@TheOnlyPyro
Thank you! I mostly only find time to skill lately, and I'm desperate for more pets 🥺 But I do love questing! Favourite games outside of OSRS: Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, general cosy games, and I watch a lot of horror gameplays on YT.
Maybe one day I'll share the stories 👀

This wasn't a patch it was our regular weekly update 😊 as standard these ones last 30 mins. Yesterday was a necessary maintenance period and needed to be ran separately from this planned update.
🗣️ Discord Stage calls strike back!
🙏 Earlier today, we shared our three proposed God Alignments. Mods Sarnie & Rice are now set to host the first Discord Stages call of the year to discuss them with you!

It was all the Devs! I just had communicating with players and working with Devs on feedback. All props go to the wizards who make the quest. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
@Rant
@OldSchoolRS
Right now they're cool ideas that have been explored, but they all have potential. You can fill in the survey at the end of the blog and let us know which ones you'd like to see!
To get yours, make sure you've opted into marketing and communications in your account settings, and check you've done it for each character. They're still rolling out and will for the next few days, so don't panic if you haven't seen yours yet!

Unfortunately it's not always a quick or easy fix, and while it was prioritised, it hasn't been fully completed. I understand it's disappointing, and I'm sorry about that.
