Contents

Tips

  • Gnomonkey urges players to fill out the survey and think about it rather than just copy his answers, because Jagex uses it to figure out the direction of the game.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey criticises the survey's quest section: after he answers that he dislikes quests it still asks what he values most in a quest, with no option to say he values nothing, and he thinks that section should be skipped or changed to ask what would make him like quests more.2
  • Gnomonkey says the 2025 survey asked how players felt about player support a couple of times but never what aspects of support they value, despite the earlier debacle over paid-membership player support.3
  • Gnomonkey notes the 2025 survey had no question at all about Sailing or how the game will be after Sailing.4
  • Gnomonkey felt the 2025 survey was much emptier than the previous year's, which had more options and more questions hinting at upcoming content, such as the most anticipated upcoming update.4
  • Gnomonkey says he suspects Jagex struggles to decide rewards for upcoming content such as raids and Sailing (as with Doom), and that it should ask players what they think would be a cool mega rare, a question his chat discusses for hours.5
  • Gnomonkey suggests Essence of Finality, an RS3 amulet that holds a special attack usable on any weapon, would be a cool mega rare in Old School.5
  • Gnomonkey wishes the survey had asked what types of updates players value most, as he wanted to tell Jagex that quality of life is by far what he cares about most, ahead of a new boss or a new scaling method.6
  • Gnomonkey is surprised the survey did not ask whether players want big updates or lots of little updates, a question he says RS3 asked all the time.7
  • Gnomonkey considers the 2025 survey decent and is glad it had a whole section on quality of life, which he thinks is very important.8
  • Gnomonkey appreciates that, unlike some past surveys, this one had no sneaky questions about membership costs or paid promotions, and he believes the botched plugin question was a genuine mistake rather than a heinous act.9

Events

  • Jagex published a post about its yearly Old School RuneScape player survey, which asks a very large number of questions about many aspects of the game.10
  • The 2025 survey had a question about official versus third-party plugins that left out two answer options (including being happy with both), which caused uproar on Reddit; Jagex later fixed it by adding the missing options.11
