Thanks everyone, I really enjoyed answering all the questions. Hopefully you enjoyed some of the answers and found it insightful. If you ever want to hang out I regularly stream on twitch.tv/kemplos or come and chat on twitter twitter.com/realmatk. Catch you later!

My son plays it, I shall have to give it a go.

That was my idea, it was meant to be difficult but it I didn't expect it to last a year. I was very relived when someone got it as I was beginning to think it was too hard. Giggity,

Yes, they were porking.

Not really much of a threat anymore. But they need to keep on top of it so it does't get out of hand.

Sadly not, or if there are I don't know them....

Ah yes, I remember that. THat was fun. I think I called Corruption out for something and then had to die to them in a war.... I made it easy for them. There were many meetings with clan leaders over the years, but getting changes through into the game was always a struggle.

No one got in trouble for it, it was a bug which should not have happened. After it happened a variable was added to accounts which needed to be activated to use it, so it could not have happened again. Paul Gowers Jmod once got hacked (before they were IP locked) but the hacker didn't know how to use it to cause real mayhem, Paul's Jmod had the power to turn servers off.... ?

Because he was named after a TV channel.

I was a zybez man, UNC and all that.

Yep, you don't work somewhere for 15 years without missing it. In particular I missing working with the team and community and having an impact on the game I love.

Yes, in the last 5 years Jagex have certianly focused on recruiting people who care about the game. I've never played FF14 - no other FF even compares to 7.

No problem, I have enjoyed it.

Polling doesn't do what it needs to now, it doesn't allow the team to service smaller communities within the game. I think the solution is to educate the community rather than enforce some arbitrary requirement to vote. it's a bit disappointing that we knew this was a problem 2 years ago and it still hasn't been resolved. I think climbing boots was leaked by someone to a small group of their friends, I haven't any proof but I think it happened.

It absolutely is.

Yes, many.

Yeah, there were some shady going ons. One QA guy didn't report a bug then abused it after released.... he got fired and I am sure that happened multiple times.

Thanks buddy!

Oh yes, with the information Jagex holds on people it doesn't take much to find out who everyone is, where they live, what their mums maiden name is etc etc. We've also done significant work with the police to identify supposedly hidden expert who have used RuneScape and we can generally track them down in 24 hours. God knows how much Google knows about us all.
