Update 7 [23 April 2024]
Many users have reported that RuneScape crashes when they try to log out of the bone storage and receive a message prompting them to complete a quest before teleporting to the new ritual site.
Hey, just fyi, you’ve broken the Um diary 1 with this update, trying to toggle off the bone storage gives the message to complete the quest before teleporting to the new ritual site
— James Van Nierop (@jicvn94) April 22, 2024
RS3’s primary focuses are quests and bosses. Quests also periodically come with skilling updates and sidegrades, so I don’t know what else they should be focusing on. PvP is dead and fully out of focus, and mini games are typically pretty dead. Monetization is the major issue.
