This focus on the fans of RuneScape even in the face of a world-wide pandemic can be seen in the way that new quests are created in a case-by case basis too. Fletcher is the person in charge of the teams that are working to complete The Elder Gods story, said that the developers are active in social media. The response of fans varies with OSRS Accounts, Crowther said, and even though not everyone is a fan of every piece of content the team is hoping that their continuing quest line will appeal to the people who have had been "crying for help" to continue the story.

"I spend my evenings and talk to them about content and design for quests, and am able to get lots of opinions," Fletcher said. "I also share my thoughts and we'll go back and forth about compromises and how things are handled, how they could be done and must be executed."

The overall philosophy behind the game is to follow the suggestions of players as "ideal elements of a great adventure," utilizing elements within the limits of Jagex's resources. This fan base has grown significantly in recent years, according to Osborne the game's creator, as a number of mobile-based ventures have boosted the game's popularity. The motivation behind the launch of RuneScape 3's mobile game in the year 2019 was to build on the status of the game as something that players could take advantage of at any time without the hassle of an "huge extravagant, affluent and cumbersome" experience. The majority of the progression of the MMORPG is based on the improvement of one's avatar via small tasks, like growing the player's Combat or Archaeology capabilities.

RuneScape Mobile has been so effective in increasing participation on all platforms that creating content specifically for mobile is on the top of developers their minds. The introduction of farm farms owned by players in the last year is a prime instance of this, since the game was "designed to play in the toilet," Osborne said. Similar to this can be seen in OSRS which is the Java Version of OSRS, which recently received a mobile version of its own. Content such as Old School RuneScape's eight-player Nightmare of Ashihama raid is still being made.

Since OSRS is run by a different group the development of OSRS has been able to have "virtually zero impact" on the current game, in terms of resources and human resources. However it has been able to have an "positive" influence on the progress of RuneScape Mobile, acting like an experimentation ground, so that the that the experience of the launch of the popular MMORPG across different stores such as marketing, sales, and more could be transferred to. "That will increase the chances of playing and being appreciated by users," Osborne said.

According to him, OSRS on mobile has been a factor in "multiple seasons of expansion" with both games. The growth rate has only increased since the launch of the Archaeology update in March, which coincides with the first outbreak of coronavirus in the world. Although battling the virus has brought challenges to Jagex's team Jagex and they are now eager to present the next stage of the ongoing story of RuneScape, which has so far introduced new universe-ending stakes as well as dinosaurs within The Land Out of Time. The story's scope is "pretty huge" as per Crowther who believes it will be an important relief for those who remain in their homes.

MMORPGs are made to last for many years and support huge player bases across multiple worlds when they play, hunt for loot, and finish ever-evolving story missions. This is especially true for a game like RuneScape is one that has been around in various versions with OSRS Boosting since 2001. These quests need to expand in size in order to keep the players interested. Today the Jagex, the developer Jagex releases the trailer for the RuneScape Desperate Update, where players are required to stop the devastation of all living beings throughout the universe.
