Every week my 4 year old daughter helps me with Penguin hunting and when we turn in our points we do a penguin dance together. There isn’t anything anybody could say that would ruin that for me.

Started my account 25 years ago, my life has changed so much since, but always I have enjoyed RuneScape.

Vets, take heart, it will all be ok. Did you have fun? That was the point all along.

There is still no mention on the roadmap of a route to romance Kerapac. While I like Anya a lot, I do not want to compromise. Jagex has promised a romance route for Kerapac multiple times now, and has also hinted at it in multiple quests:

Song from the Depths - the World Guardian admits to finding scales attractive

Hero’s Welcome - World Guardian goes on a short date with Tarshak, admitting that they enjoy the company and culture of Dragonkin

One of a Kind - Kerapac calls the World Guardian “…my adorable eldritch horror.” (I still fantasise about this line today)

Curse of the Black Stone - The Ambassador mentions Kerapac having a sweet spot for the World Guardian that he finds blasphemous (you must complete 6 rotations of the shadow fragments special attack to trigger this dialogue)

City of Senntisten - In private, Kerapac refers to the World Guardian as his ‘Kath Bujahepen’, which when referenced with the Dragonkin Primer from One of a Kind, translates roughly to ‘Failure Storeroom.’ This is clearly a term of endearment

Kindred Spirits - Sliske apologises to the World Guardian for previously mocking their affection for Kerapac, stating, “It is rather sweet, and reminds me of how Zammie and I used to get on.” (Zamorak has not confirmed this connection so far)

Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf - World Guardian admits their feelings and prepares to ask out Kerapac but is interrupted by the Red Axe and later loses their memory of the quest (these memories have since been restored!!)

Extinction - Kerapac delivers a long and heartfelt goodbye to the World Guardian before leaving for Erebus, promising to find them again one day

Eclipse of the Heart - Before the boss fight with Icthlarin, Amascut tells the World Guardian that she saw Kerapac in Erebus, that he is doing well and that he “…misses you dearly.”

At this point, there is nothing holding Jagex back from delivering on this promise. Like many of you, I watched the roadmap reveal at Runefest eagerly awaiting the highly anticipated romance path and was once again left saddened. Please Jagex, I really need this okay? Many of us do.

And if you read this far… well I’m not really sure why you did

Easy gotcha is trying to say the game sucks and we agree, but thats just having your cake and eating it.

We think the game is fun. You didn't until you got the opportunity to punish us for existing.

Congratz to Razzi and geherman for getting the first 2k kill. Took a bit longer than I expected tbh but still impressive. Now I can finally go and fight them!

So Ghrazi Knights are out, and the "interesting forced duo mechanic" is...

• One person DPSs the heart, while the other person DPSes little meatballs to give them more time to DPS the heart

• Sometimes you have to voke one off the other person

Lol.

Yeah this totally needed to be duo for the first month...

If veteran activity dwindles... I'll either continue playing as a lone wolf, or find something else to do.

Been saying this for years, pick chests or floor drops, stop letting individual designers make it up as they go. It feels disjointed. As a player from level 10 doing babies first boss or a level 150 should be able to walk into an instanced boss and have an understanding of how to handle the loot situation not be playing guess if its got a chest or not each time. "then people can camp bosses" they already do! inventory space is not the factor for tons of the endgame players since they just use item destruction mechanics (spring cleaner, alchemy, disassembly) to reduce the amount of bank trips anyway. I love seeing items drop on the ground IN SOMETHING LIKE DIABLO but in runescape where billions of value and hundreds of hours can be lost in approx half a second by accidentally hitting an insta-tp or god forbid DYING AFTER YOU BEAT A BOSS its just poor design.

"Have you tried not teleporting out" comes from a place of someone who doesn't actually play the game outside of working on it.

To fill up trick or treat bags and make them 'bursting', you need to visit a player's house and interact with their trick or treat bowl, while having normal trick or treat bags in your inventory. For those with no friends online, you can use 'Visit Homestead' to search for a list of homesteads open to the public.

• Complete All Souls Eve Halloween quest
• Build a trick or treat bowl in your home (plank, orange dye, bowl)
• Go to your home and click on the built bowl to collect a normal 'trick or treat bag'
• Go to the most populated worlds like W84
• Right click on home portal
• Choose 'Visit Homestead'
• It will show you a list of available public homesteads
• Visit any of them and check if there are any trick or treat bowls in there
• Interact with bowl with the normal 'trick or treat bags' in your inventory
• You will obtain bursting trick or treat bags that way

I think this can be done once a day to get a bursting 'trick or treat bag'

Honestly, no matter what you think about the new update from RuneFest, we literally can't talk about RuneScape anywhere right now without everyone calling the whole game "tainted". Someone posted hyping up today’s race and the comments were just a total dumpster honestly.

Two weeks ago it wasn't even like this. Now every time we post on X (or TikTok), all we see are people spamming "nobody cares about this ruined game" or accusing players of buying their achievements.

It’s just ruined the vibe. People aren't even going to want to post content anymore because who wants to deal with constant hate over something they didn't even do? You've got current players memeing on it and random people (who don't even play, and never plan to play) jumping on the hate train. Your online brand was already bad, but now it's cooked.

Just sucks to see honestly. So sad.

Moving Soul dyes (and also presumably Aurora dyes) to be earnable in-game from sources which dyes are exclusive to is a big win. Credit where it is due to Jagex.

Hello wonderful RuneScape community,

I'm Paige, the Gaming Community Manager for SpecialEffect. I'm aware a lot of this fantastic community may know of us and our work already, as the RS community and Jagex have been supporters of our work for a long time, but if you don't, we're a UK-based charity that uses innovative technology to help physically disabled people access gaming, connect with their communities and spend time with loved ones.

Our services are free to everyone we support and available for life, so if a person's condition or abilities change, we will be with them every step of the way, adapting their gaming setup to meet their evolving needs.

We’re excited to say we've been chosen as a Jingle Jam Charity Partner for 2026 and as part of our campaign, we’re looking for content creators who are willing to take part in Jingle Jam in support of us!

Creators are welcome to get involved in any number of ways from playing RuneScape, to gaming in general, chatting, baking, crafting... sky's the limit, but if you prefer having a specific idea to get involved with we'll be running a Minecraft world record attempt, in which we're looking to have 100 featured creators building with us on Monday 7th December, and an art challenge open to artists of all kinds, including virtual photographers!

If you're interested in getting involved, or would like more information, feel free to reply, DM me or email [paige@specialeffect.org.uk](mailto:paige@specialeffect.org.uk)!

Thank you all!

Have fun folks!

Spent a few hours learning the new boss, and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the effort that went into this boss and I think it turned our great. The boss feels intimidating but fair, complex but not opaque. The Ghrazi Blood Knights have been an absolute blast so far. The soundtrack is banger, and IN SPITE of this subreddit’s consensus I think their designs are awesome.
The mods cooked with this one. I for one have been looking forward to this all year, and I’m not disappointed.

I’m a relatively new player, as I started around the time the Necromancy skill was released.

But from what I’ve seen, it’s that… I love Runescape 3. I tried OSRS, but it’s far too old-fashioned for me. RS3 strikes the right balance between adventure, sandbox gameplay and quality-of-life features.

I started playing because I spotted the game on Steam and thought, ‘Why not?’, out of sheer boredom. I’d never heard of it before (the game isn’t very popular in my country), so I didn’t know what to expect, and so on.

And now, looking back a few years, I reckon the biggest problem with RS3 isn’t so much its UI… (in many ways, RS3 is a lot like Kenshi, including the UI! :D), not the chaotic mess of dead mini-games and jumbled quests…

It’s just that Runescape 3 has a rubbish reputation.

But in lots of areas that no longer exist. In a change to the combat system from back when I was starting university and playing Skyrim… In microtransactions that haven’t been around for a year.

The game has improved significantly over the past year or so. The roadmap is great. The gameplay is great. In my view, it’s one of the most exciting MMOs on the market (and I’ve played WoW, GW2 and ESO).

But the talk surrounding the game has never changed. Whether it’s from the OSRS community, or within the RS3 community (not to be rude… but you lot are more of a pain than the WoW Classic community).

If you ask for advice on an MMO forum, people will recommend every mainstream MMO in the world ... except RS3.

And in my view, that’s what Jagex needs to change in order to attract new players. Through streamers and YouTubers, they need to change the reputation of RS3. YouTube is just a graveyard for RS3. There’s not much on there. I play RS3, but I prefer watching WoW videos because they’re more fun. I’m not even sure there are any lore videos… On this subreddit… there aren’t many fan art pieces. Where is the RP community? (It must exist somewhere, but I’ve no idea.) Is everything about RS3 just… dead? I’ve never seen a single advert for the game in my life. For OSRS, yes. But never for RS3. Given the algorithms, I should actually be the target audience...

As for ‘Reignited’, I think that’s what Jagex thought. I reckon they decided they needed to change the reputation, and to do that they had to start from scratch, with a clean slate. I’m not entirely sure that’s the best idea. I think another full year of restoration would have been better.

But I’m neither a businessman nor a game developer.

I don’t really have a conclusion, because I don’t have a simple solution (I can’t even draw!), but I wanted to share this.

The Halloween event rewards are top tier this year. If you want to come trick or treat from my bowl, you're going to have to be spooky first.

With Jagex revisiting older areas, updating skillcapes, and improving RS3's visuals, I think this would be a great small improvement for the Ninja Team.

The current staff idle animation looks awkward, with characters holding their staffs horizontally like oversized weapons rather than actual magical staffs.

OSRS has a much more natural stance, with staffs held upright and resting on the ground.

I've attached a mockup showing how this could look in RS3.

It would be nice to see this as the default idle stance for staffs, or at least have it available as an option. It's a small change, but I think it would make a noticeable difference to how characters look.

One of the aspects of reworking the holiday hubs was to make getting the cosmetics take up less time so we could get back to playing the rest of the game if we so chose. The rewards shops in the Christmas, Easter, and Summer hubs can be cleaned out with less than 150k tokens. The new cosmetics for this year alone in the Halloween shop cost over 100k and to grab everything will taken over 1.2 million tokens. I'm hoping this is just an oversight considering everything else happening in the game and the community right now, but I'd love to have some clarity on whether this disparity is intentional or not.
