Was browsing old update logs and found this one funny.
https://runescape.wiki/w/Update:Latest_RuneScape_News_(14_November_2001)
Preferably Andrew but any Gower brother would be fine tbh.
On the Gower brothers stream Andrew said he'd want Dungeoneering on OSRS. Nice to see that i'm not the only one who wants to see dungeoneering in on OSRS, it doesn't have to have the same rewards but who else would like to see dungeoneering? Maybe get a petition going for 2016 Dungeoneering?
Someone wanted a link to it so here it is http://www.twitch.tv/runescape/v/33743465 go to 58:30 that's where he says it :p
Hi all,
I feel this calls for a post as I wouldn't want any of you to miss this.
On our twitch channel this afternoon:
At 5pm GMT, there will be a Q&A with the Gower brothers, Andrew, Ian and Paul. They will be answering questions about the early days of Runescape, how it came to be and whatever else you want to ask!
Following that at 6pm GMT, our next story time will happen. Mods Ash, Mark, Mat K will join the Gower brothers to reminisce about the past telling funny stories and revealing things that happened behind the scenes through the earlier years of Runescape.
I'm excited to watch and I hope you all will be too. This is all part of the 15th Runescape birthday celebrations :).
RuneScape is holding their annual convention this week, RuneFest. Andrew is attending. He sold RuneScape a long time ago but I'd love to ask some questions on the company history, his own thoughts, etc.

Adam, AKA B0aty, and Paul, Is_My_Str_0, if you don't already know, are big streamers.
These guys are awesome (in my personal opinion), and in today's OSRS Community stream, it was announced that on Tutorial Island, to make your account an "official Iron Man," you would either talk to the new NPC's named Adam and Paul (named after the streamers) to set it up.
Andrew Gower is the original creator of RuneScape, with the help of his brother Paul. Andrew is the co-founder of Jagex, if I'm not mistaken; however he no longer is really associated with them.
None the less, if it weren't for Andrew and Paul, we wouldn't be in this subreddit right now. And if you know anything about the original RuneScape, you know that Andrew and Paul would have been the ORIGINAL "Iron Men."
I just truthfully believe that Adam and Paul should be renamed to Andrew and Paul Gower - working for Jagex or not. They're the originals, and it's cool to remember where the game originated.
Nothing against you, B0aty or Paul - you guys are some of my favorite streamers. Who knows, you guys might even agree with me on this.
Leave ideas/comments? No hate please.
Been probably a decade since he's been directly involved with the game, but would be interesting to ask him questions... what's the possibility of this happening?
We hope that many people will be able to afford the very small amount we are asking, if you really really can't afford to pay then don't worry, because there will still be a FREE RuneScape service available. Obviously since this service will be offered for free, we won't be able to update it so often. In actual fact running the free service will cost us a lot of money but we want to thank all the people who have helped us beta-test the game so far, and so will try keep it going as long as possible. Thanks for all your support. Andrew Gower
TL;DR: Andrew Gower ran this game perfectly for the Runescape community. He never gave a fuck about 3rd party clients as long as they had no involvement with botting. Andrew Gower tried stopping bots to give everyone a fair chance to enjoy this game.
Andrew Gower then sold out our beloved game to a team full of jackasses who promised Andrew they would make this game bigger than ever. Shortly after this new team took out the duel arena, a week after that they took out wilderness and added the dumbest type of pvp you could possibly get. Gone were the days of pking bank loot. Then these dumbfucks, DUMBFUCKS decided ugly World of Warcraft like graphics and an action bar identical to World of Warcraft would be a brilliant idea.
These cunts ruined what used to be a great game, realized they were not making money anymore to fund their idiotic suggestions and ideas, and decided to bring back 07 scape, which at first was identical and on the right path to bringing the game back to its peak. And now? They roll out update after update, at first slowly but now steadily going back on the same path as they did with Runescape 2 in 06. Eventually we are going to have two runescape 3s. This new Jagex team supports an ex botting client making money off their own game, but wants to shut down every other client that is free and gives a competitive run against OSB and wasn't a previous place to get bots that jagkuks is apparently so against.
TL;DR #2: I am canceling my subscription, and encouraging all my friends and relatives who play this game to do so as well. I don't want to make the same mistake of paying monthly to a game that is beginning to make the same major game updates, not listening to the community anymore as when RS2 turned into EOC and RS3. Fuck jagkuks, bring back Andrew Gower. Fuck mod mat k and fuck the botter who is jagex mod and helps ROT ddos other players in tournaments. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
If anyone is complaining about copyright, jamflex should get sued for using World of Warcraft Graphics and attack style. FUCK YOU
If he ever stumbles upon this sub he'd probably kill himself
