Hello everyone!

October is over and we're eagerly awaiting the launch of 120 Farming, 120 Herblore, and The Ranch Out of Time. Folks have been hunting on Anachronia for Jadinkos and ABSOLUTE UNITS in preparation. If you want to hear more about our thoughts on these updates and the new skill, Archaeology, listen to our RuneFest review podcast. Those of you reading are probably wondering what Informer was up to this month, read on for that!

It's a yearly fall tradition around Informer to analyze Jagex's financials for the previous year. In 2018 Jagex saw increased growth in terms of profit and revenue and one key contraction. That contraction speaks volumes and leads into some of our other article this month. But nonetheless, this analysis is based purely on the numbers and it tells an interesting story. Read Examining Jagex's 2018 financials here.

Jagex recently hired a new executive producer for RuneScape, Mod Warden. He has an impressive resume boasting work on Fortnite and Overwatch amongst others. In Let's Give Mod Warden a Chance Tanis talks about the past of monetization in RuneScape and how if theories are right, Mod Warden is going to attempt to change RuneScape's monetization model.

Alex also took interest in what Mod Warden had to say, in particular, how he said it. Here at Informer we believe that how you get your message across is as important as the message itself. Of highest interest was Mod Warden's decision to open up a dedicated email channel where anyone could share their thoughts, good or bad, with him. In With The New shows that meaning goes deeper than the words on top and that's what we're all about here at Informer.

Finally, David asks the question about what PvM may look like in a few years. The perception is often that the PvM crowd wants to be insulated and within their own circles. David argues that for PvM to thrive in the next few years it must be made more interesting to the wider RuneScape community.

Our Skills of The Month Competitions saw Ukn Raptoid take a double victory in Dungeoneering and Thieving. Congratulations on the wins, here are your trophies:

That's all for this month, expect a healthy dose of Farming and Herblore in November!
