Hiya,

I've been working on a Wise Old Man quest, continuing his story beyond the events of Swan Song. You can read about it here.

The quest's been in testing for a week already, and is looking fairly solid so far, so we're aiming for a summer release date provided nothing unexpected happens.

Questions

Q: Does this mean that party hats are getting updated?
A: No. The Wise Old Man himself is getting updated, so his hat looks a smidgen different, but we're not planning to apply the same change to your hats when the quest comes out.

Q: Does this mean that Draynor Village is getting updated?
A: Our Graphics guys have been working on that, but I don't know when they're due to finish. It's certainly not due out with this quest.

Q: There are pictures of statues in the image. Will we be able to have statues of ourselves in our houses?
A: Those statues are NOT a hint about the quest reward. RuneScape's game engine isn't able to save out a 3D model of you and turn it into a bit of scenery in your house. Although the game engine is always being improved, please don't expect anything of the sort to come out with this quest.

Q: Do we need to do Swan Song and My Arm's Big Adventure?
A: You need Swan Song, and part of Recipe for Disaster, but not My Arm's.

Q: Is this a Grandmaster Quest?
A: We're expecting to call it a medium-length Master Quest.

Q: Is the WOM a secret Zamorak/Zaros worshipper?
A: If he is, IT'S A SECRET.

Q: How did you get that avatar?
A: I transformed my character into the Wise Old Man for the picture. There are some benefits to being a Jmod, after all.

Draynor Village is due for an update, yes. The Graphics guys have already done quite a lot of that work, I believe, but it won't be coming out with the WOM quest.

Actually, the graphical update to the WOM himself was originally meant to be part of the Draynor Village work.
