Mod Reach

April 21 2015 Mod Reach
It is with regret that we have some sad and unfortunate news to share with you. Today, Mod Reach was dismissed from employment at Jagex, following an investigation into serious misuse of moderator privileges. This was flagged to us by system checks which track and log code changes made to the live game. We were able to intercept the intended changes before anything could impact the game economy.

While staff changes are not something we tend to share so publically, when both the integrity of the game and the team are put at risk we felt duty bound to make the community aware of what has happened.

Obviously this unexpected news means we need some time to collect our thoughts and formulate plans for future projects. Once we have pulled all of this together we will of course share and discuss this with the community. Due to the sensitivities of the situation we are not going to be able to give any more detail at this time.

We are determined to ensure Mod Reach’s departure does not detract from the great start to the year we have had. We want both the team and community to go from strength to strength and to take Old School RuneScape forward onto bigger and better things for many years to come.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

The Old School Team

People reckon he knew about the invisibility glitch which allowed someone to bot 80k corps and his friends for 20b+ gp. Who knows if they will say why he got sacked though.

Still couldn't understand if the guy running the bots was the only one profiting from this or not, he speaks about the person that created the bot and another guy I believe but were they also mass botting like him?
Apparently he made 40k USD from this which he says he's using to pay college.

Not much to say honestly... Just hope that Jagex's consistency regarding issues like this remains and that systems continue to catch issues like this before anything takes effect.
