Mod Mark talks about the Wilderness update

All right, here are some details from Mod Mark about the "new/old" Wilderness (click on the image there to see screenshots in full resolution).

Short summary (as far as understand what is going on):

• A lot of relocation is going to take place. Minigames will be moved as well as quests.
• Clues will be updated, but I don't think they will be removed from wilderness completely. Probably, we will just get less trips there.
• Jagex is confident that they'll keep bots and RWT at bay with new technology (or technologies)
• There will be no special PvP worlds anymore
• A lot of stuff still undecided (gravestones, abyss, potions, weapons etc.)

Plans, Promises and Jad

Introspection from the Informer on a year old Q&A session with Mod MMG. What was promised/hinted on and what actually took place. Too much negativity for my liking - I think I tend to view the last year changes in much more brighter colors. But interesting read nevertheless.

And one more link. Awesome new strategy for dealing with Jad from Troacctid. That one I definitely going to try! Nothing else worked anyway :)

P.S. Just a heads up. I'm heading to Mexico again. And this time I am looking at something between 7 and 9 weeks of work there. We'll see how it goes, but don't be surprised if my posts become even less frequent during this time.

Mod Mark - Twitter Q&A Summary

Summary of recent Mod Mark's Q&A session in Twitter from Neo Avatars with comments. Good stuff. But I have to admit that I was more excited by the very fact that such Q&A session was conducted via Twitter. I don't recall anyone using Twitter this way. IMHO, it's pretty cool.

Checked the Dungeoneering update yesterday. It is indeed awesome. Soloing medium size dungeons with group gatestone - yummy.

Jagex's 2009 Financial Report

I am simply swamped IRL. It's all good: work and mapping, but to the degree that I haven't even logged into Runescape during the last 3 days... It should come back to normal later this week, I hope.

Meanwhile, here is a link to Jagex's 2009 financial report (thanks to Ren) - the company is doing good.

Another link I'd like to point you to is Mod MMG's Q&A. You probably saw it already, but still. My personal highlight from there is this one: "we find only about 10% of our players are PvPers". Nice, hard number to put PvP problems in proper perspective.

Mod MMG's answers - decoded

Interesting overview and commentary on the recent Mod MMG's Q&A session from Jasonmrc.

Mod MMG's Q&A

First, I want to apologize for disappearing for so long. I've been heads down delivering an extremely urgent project IRL and wasn't doing anything else, but hopefully I am back on track now :)

Today's link is to a good summary of Mod MMG questions and answers session from Zelda. It was definitely a good idea to do this session again, I am quite excited about some of the future items mentioned in the answers.

Also link to Aximili E I post about RSC related answer. Future RSC revival is getting more and more real.
