Mining and Smithing Postponement
- We plan on releasing it next year now.
Reasons:
- Lack of feedback from players (Jagex's Fault)
- Combat Drops
- Crystal Pickaxe/Hatchet
- People wanted Mining Shafts
- Masterwork Smithing appearing complicated.
Future Development
- Make it enjoyable since nobody was excited for it.
- Make it simplistic.
- More discussions with the players.
- Make it feel completed on launch.
