This week we’re bringing you a weapons beta and a free comic book - plus, the chance to have your say in our Spring Survey!
NOTE: it's a Bank Holiday in the UK next Monday, so the next edition of TWIR will arrive on Tuesday 9th. See you then!



Last month we opened up the conversation around some upcoming changes to the Fractured Staff of Armadyl and Animate Dead. A common theme in your feedback was that it would be hard to know how impactful these changes would be without trying them out. Well, guess what…Yep, we’ve been given the greenlight to launch a beta for the upcoming FSOA and AD changes! Dive in, give ‘em a whirl and let us know what you think.
The beta will be going live on Thursday May 4th and will be available until May 16th.Here’s how to access it:
Jagex LauncherHead to the taskbar and close any running instances of the Jagex launcher.Click this link. (links will be updated once the Beta is live)The link will load the Jagex launcher then start loading the beta, logging you in automatically.Non Jagex LauncherClick this link, then log in as normal. (links will be updated once the Beta is live)
On first login, your live save is imported into the beta. You can re-import your save into the beta once per hour.
FAQ
Q: I want to test Animate Dead and Fractured Staff of Armadyl - do I need to have them already?
A: Yes. Accessing the beta will transfer over a copy of your save, so you’ll need to own these items already. You will not be provided with a FSOA or have AD unlocked upon login to the beta.
Q: How do I give feedback?
A: You will be able to respond to some in-game polls in the beta, and we will be coordinating an official thread on Reddit too!



Now Spring is underway and the Fort Forinthry Season is in full bloom, it’s time to reflect - and we’re in the mood for feedback! Follow the (LINK) and share your thoughts on all things RuneScape.
This survey will be available from today (May 2nd) for a limited time only, so be sure to get your responses in early!
We’re also giving away £20 shopping vouchers to 20 participants who complete the survey in full. Vouchers can be spent at a selection of participating online retailers. The winners will be randomly selected from all participants and announced in an upcoming edition of This Week in RuneScape. Good luck!



We always want to be transparent about the development process here at RuneScape. We also love sharing our plans for the future, so you know how much you have to look forward to!
