Your RuneScape Questions Answered - Updated

The official press is as below:

Many of you will have read my newspost last week, in which I outlined our vision for the future of RuneScape, and also invited your questions. Well, the response has been absolutely awesome; in fact we've actually been a little taken aback! There have been nearly ten thousand questions posted or emailed by you, our players, and it's become pretty obvious that we're going to need to answer a lot more than we originally planned.

A lot of the questions concern areas in which I'm not the best person to reply, to be quite honest. So what we've done is split them up, with me answering a selection of appropriate questions today, and my esteemed colleagues answering further questions over the next few weeks.

A big thank you to everyone that took the time to post a question on the forum or email it in - your feedback and interest in RuneScape are much appreciated, and we hope you will all continue to enjoy playing the game for a long time to come. So without further ado, here is the first batch of answers from yours truly:)

Have fun!

The first batch of answers is too big to include in this news post, so can instead be found on the forums:

Q) Parsifal123 - What is the exact direction you want to lead this company in? Do you have a single MAIN goal in mind?
A) Yes: keep creating great games and having fun while doing it

Q) I Krush I - What's happened to Andrew Gower? If we call someone an a** hole can we still get muted?
A) We would discourage calling anyone an a**hole; I expect you would get a very negative response if you said that to someone in your local pub, so I don't see why it would be acceptable in RuneScape.

Q) Expiring - exactly how did Jagex lose money from real world trading? Honestly, you've been getting $5-$10 a month for people to pvp - only reason I joined this game is because a friend said the pvp system was awesome, now it's in the trash.
A) RWT was undermining the game, removing it actually cost us a lot of money but we didn't mind because it was more important for us to preserve the integrity of the game for all than make a few $$ or ££. We took the same approach with removing the video adverts for the free players, which again cost us money but our players' experience was more important to us.

Q) Stealthlead - Are you going to increase the drops in PVP? Are you going to add weather to the game? Pest Control: can it give more xp and money?
A) Funnily enough, Andrew and I were talking about adding weather to the game the other day. It's certainly a possibility, but as always there are a number of exciting opportunities that always need to be prioritised.
