Kids who grew up playing RuneScape, (now OldSchool), have really turned out to be some of the most wonderful, funny, passionate and talented people that I’ve ever had the opportunity to meet! 👏

serving the wonderful Old School RuneScape community!

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike
We absolutely owe it to our players, all of you, to make Sailing the best skill it can possible be.
The Old School team is dedicated, passionate & hardworking. We know how important this is to you - we won't let you down.
Thanks for letting us work on something so special!
It’s almost one year since I started my job at Jagex! (January 11th). Time has sure flown by!
I thought I would share a few things I’ve learned about you guys over the past year!
A (silly) thread. ☺️
@OSRS_AColdOne
I hope you can try the game mode again… I don’t understand why this is being called “force logged” though when it was apparently a ban, and also why you would bot on a hardcore account to begin with. Any bot usage of any kind would just devalue your amazing achievements. 😢

Old School Runescape really makes me feel like I can achieve absolutely anything I set my mind to. Even the small achievements in-game make me feel like that.
Happy new year everyone 🥳 I was just wondering why so many RuneScape players are barking on Twitter now? Do you guys really like playing with dogs or something? 😇 So wholesome! 🥰 woof
I don't really see many people rocking satchels anymore, but I remember when these were released like 14 years ago, and 11 year old me was like, wait jagex added HANDBAGS??
😌so, imma go get me a satchel this weekend.
This is the first big project I'm working on!
Runecraft(ing)!
I'll be handling your feedback, so let me know EVERYTHING!
✅ What do you like?
🚫 What don't you like?
💡 What do you want me to bring up with the team when we discuss feedback tomorrow?
💬 It's time to talk about your favourite Skill...
🌟 Runecraft!
😎 We've been working on a brand-new Runecraft training method we think you might like.

It was around this time last year that I applied to work for Jagex.
I didn’t know any of you at that time, and I was sooo nervous to meet you all.
Thankfully, you all & the team have been more amazing than I could’ve imagined. I feel fulfilled everyday bc of you guys 😊🌹 thx
I really appreciate when you guys take the time to explain things to me about Old School when I'm not sure exactly what you mean, and how you always help me understand your issues, problems and concerns with the game.
It means a lot, and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you!
📊 It’s official! In 2023, we’re going to work with all of you on a new skill!
⭐ What new skill could be coming to Old School? You'll be helping us decide!
@MaulerOSRS
Hi Mauler, Sailing passed a lock in poll which is why we are putting more development time into it. I’d love to understand how to improve your experience with the skill as it’s supposed to be for everyone, not just people who voted yes to it. 🫶
I still remember getting dumped and above Lumbridge castle.😂
"Hey babe, can I borrow your stuff? Just want to try something"
"Sure"
Trade accepted.
*logs out*
...😭
I just find it hilarious how Gielinor basically considers horses to be these mysterious and magical creatures because they don’t exist in that universe but your average player won’t think twice when they see or kill a unicorn. absolutely wild
So glad that we won't get any more asking 'CA rework when?' 😂
Let me know all your feedback for this week's game update! 💖
We've also gone ahead & created another Discord 'Stages' sesh today at 4pm for the new skill, as explained in this week's newspost. See u there!
⚙️ GAME UPDATE ⚙️
🫵Combat Achievements 🫵 are now POINTS-BASED! 🫵
📓 Plenty of opportunity now to mix n' match your CA tasks to earn rewards!
⚔️ What are you waiting for? Go go go!

The coolest part for me about castle wars was that you could align yourself with good/evil & you would get turned into literally a sheep or a rabbit or an imp in the lobby waiting room. 12 year old me was SHOOK by this concept and my standards for gaming were set high ever since
Did anyone else think that the red part of an Axe was blood as a kid, or just me?😅
Just realized that trees don't bleed so it's probably painted red. Mind blown.
The team has put SO much love into Guardians of the Rift. I really hope that the community enjoys it as much as we do! We just want to see you happy! ❤
I've seen some bits of feedback coming in - I see you! We'll be discussing feedback after you've had a chance to try it out.
Hey! It's my first day back at work today after the holidays.
Very excited to be working with you all again this year. Currently, I'm going through player feedback on the new skill today to prepare for community consultation.
My first time really using the new polling system!
So, I know Nieve gets all the credit for being *that* famous NPC that everyone has a massive crush on, but imo she's got nothing on the level 69 Hero NPC from back in the day.
Guaranteed to steal yo' girl!
Got any small suggestions to improve QoL in OSRS?
e.g Making dogs pettable, UX improvements, accessibility changes, right-click improvements.
We actually go over some of these with The Operators on Fridays! If you have any suggestions, please send them over :)
Looking for your Old School RuneScape QoL suggestions to fill up our suggestions backlog!
I bring them fwd on a weekly basis.
👉 SMALL in scale
👉 NOT direct buffs/nerfs to equipment
👉 NOT involving NEW art assets (it increases the time to get the suggestion into the game)

You’ve either met your partner on OSRS and you’ve got each other’s names in your bios, planning a wedding etc or you’re incredibly thirsty and make that very clear on your TL.
There is no in between.
When I was a kid, I used to think that upgrading to members would make Varrock look sparklier. 😂
I remember the feeling of my first time logging in as a member, looking around the world to find that everything looked kinda the same, but really excited to wear this skirt! <3
there are some days in community management where you just want to hug everyone… 🥺 thank you to anyone who has engaged with us constructively - esp for how patient, respectful and kind you can be!
it’s great to work with you 👏 let’s keep this going for raids 3!! (next week!!)
I wrote this blog! Please let me know what you think about it - I need to understand the community's thoughts & opinions on this very important topic. All opinions and insight welcome.

@OldSchoolRS
wow this is such a cute lil gif and social post! the person who did it must have put a lotta effort into it to remind players about upcoming news! nice gear!
This Thursday we are going to have a leadership livestream.
There is definitely a conversation worth having about Fresh Start servers and your questions on it.
What *other* topics should we look at addressing on the leadership stream?
Please keep questions constructive ❤️
So many gaming companies aspire to get new players into their game and lapsed players back to playing. What content do you think would make this happen for OSRS?
Curious to hear your thoughts as you play the game way more than I do!
🗳️ The New Skill Pitches Poll is now live!
Have your say on Sailing ⛵, Taming 🐾, & Shamanism!🌲
1️⃣ Which new skill pitches did you like? Multiple options are allowed!
2️⃣ Which new skill pitch was your favourite?

Thanks for all the feedback today everyone. It was the first Sailing update in a while and I am pleased to speak to so many of you again.
For those of you who might be interested, we will be discussing the blog on a Monday livestream next week 😇
Hey everyone, we released a Sailing progress update blog today!
It talks about what we've been working on, the challenges we've had and the Technical Alpha. The team worked super hard on this. So please check it out and let me know your feedback ❤
Nothing makes me happier than seeing you all enjoying your Christmas! 😊
Thank you for brightening my timeline with your smiles, videos and good wishes!
Merry Christmas! ✨
Feeling super grateful knowing that no matter what, you guys always keep things professional and not personal when you give feedback. It goes a long way!
Thanks for being such a great bunch to work with. ❤️
What topics do you want us to talk about on our next livestream? 🤔
Most of you guys grew up playing RuneScape, and look at you now! So many of you own multiple lambos, condos, are incredibly successful IRL and are still being fantastic grandsons! 😌
Travelling up to jaggy today to work on some exciting stuff in person! 😊 we cannot wait to show you!
I am eternally grateful to be working with such a fantastic community that makes this all possible. 💕😊
Before white elegant clothing was introduced in 2006, we had this glorious piece of clothing in 2005!
The tribal top!
To this day, I still think the top looks super cute and it also comes in various assorted colours :3
I'd love to put together some helpful links for new Old School RuneScape players in a single space on our website.
If you know any great content, guides, websites, discord communities, etc please link them! Also, if you're a new player, lmk what you'd find useful.
#CuteNoobs
🥳
Q&As exist to provide a link for the community to the developers making the game you love. Hopefully they can also help answer your questions.
Please remember that always!!
No harm or offence is ever intended in what we say. I’m sorry if anyone ever is offended or upset! ❤️
I have a question for you guys! What topics would you want to see J-Mods discuss in a podcast style on a livestream? What is the community interested to have our thoughts on?
Speaking of, there’s one BIG thing I noticed in the last year.
As a community, you are divided on a LOT of different things.
The one thing that you can count on and brings EVERYONE together?
When we mess up. 😂
So, at least there’s that!
A LOT of you have trust issues! You don’t trust cute noobs for example. I don’t even blame you. You’re well versed in scams having grown up in RS! You weren’t just adopted by the darkness - you were BORN in it, and moulded by it! ☠️
back to host another osrs livestream today with
@JagexRice
!! it’s themed around while guthix sleeps 😴 send us your questions and hopefully see all u gamers there 😊 🤝
yes btw my cable management is an issue 👊
