< div class = "content" > < p > Greetings players, < / p > < p > To many of you, my name will already be familiar as one of the gold crowned mods who wandered the forums as part of the < span class = "strong" > Community Management< / span > team, some of you may even have been members of my clan on FunOrb. To others, I shall say hello, I<> m < span class = "strong" > Mod Raven< / span > , nice to meet you. < / p > < p > I recently left the < span class = "strong" > Community Management< / span > team and joined the < span class = "strong" > RuneScape Content< / span > team - quite a big change, I can assure you; however, the content team members are friendly (if a little eccentric) and, after several conversations about which superhero is better than the others, I realised that this was going to be a great team to work with. < / p > < p > After the initial training period (under the watchful eye of < span class = "strong" > Mod Maz< / span > <EFBFBD> s squirrels) I was handed my first project. My original project suggestion was discounted - I had hoped to create a mass hypnosis program to control the minds of anyone who logged into RuneScape, but I was told that my schemes for world domination would have to wait, and were a little too Batman villain-esque. The project I've been given is far more interesting...< / p > < p > Indeed, as you may have gathered from the title, my first project as part of the content team will be this year's Halloween update!< / p > < p > Now, you may say, "But < span class = "strong" > Mod Raven< / span > , Halloween is months away", because it is. Alas, though, content takes rather more time than a few weeks to make and we really need to start early to make sure that time-sensitive content (such as this) is ready and in working order well in advance, so that our < span class = "strong" > QA< / span > team can go to work. This means that, more often than not, we need to start the seasonal content as early as we possibly can. < / p > < p > Still, the content is currently in the early stages and as I write this I<> m currently working on the basic concepts. Some of the ideas I had are now out of the window for various reasons. Although I still think the one devoted to the worship of ravens is a good concept and not even slightly narcissistic. I don<6F> t want to say what the current working concept is for several reasons, but mostly I don<6F> t want to spoil the surprise and also because, at this stage, everything can change at the drop of a scythe (pun intended, and that's not a hint ;)).< / p > < p > I am currently wandering the forums looking at Halloween suggestions, so, if you post your ideas now, chances are I<> ll have a look at them. I can<61> t promise that your ideas will make it into the game, but you never know, there might be the odd reference. Obviously, there<72> s no point suggesting items with stats as a reward or anything that would unbalance the game; Halloween is meant to be just for fun, after all.< / p > < p > If you'd like to discuss this blog on the forums, please visit < a href = "../m%3dforum/forums2edf.html?16,17,384,60643845" > this forum thread< / a > .< / p > < / div >
