Hey ‘Scapers –
I’ve got a few updates to share on the RS Community Team front. Many words ahead, but I hope they’re all valuable!
Mod Doom
I’m delighted to share that Mod Doom has been promoted to Senior Community Manager and will be moving from RuneScape to work with another unannounced title at Jagex. Doom was brought onto the team to really put the focus back on a deeper connection to the community, and it’s great to be typing this knowing many of you likely agree that he smashed that role.
He’s been a huge part of the efforts being made to deepen how we involve players in RuneScape and a fervent champion of players from the day he joined – and on a personal level, an absolute delight to mentor and watch grow as a Community Manager.
As much as we’ll miss Doom, we’re so so proud of him to have progressed so fast within Jagex and he’s going to do amazing things on his new project. Please do wish him all the best!
Mod Yuey
Next up, I’m very excited to also introduce you to your new Community Manager – Mod Yuey!
Similar to Doom, Mod Yuey joins us as a RuneScape-familiar, eager to learn Community Manager. Yuey joins us having worked previously at Creative Assembly with an also very passionate Total War community and has been making some fantastic contributions in his first month already.
Yuey’s role is like for like with Doom – so expect to mostly see Yuey hosting future livestreams, hanging out in comments the most and facilitating plenty of feedback conversations along the way. Give Yuey a little time to settle in, but you should see them more and more over the coming months.
Hear From Doom & Yuey
Both Doom and Yuey have posted their own comments below too! Links below if you wanna check those out.

We’d also love for you to join Doom and Yuey for an in-studio stream next Wednesday at the slightly earlier time of 3pm Game Time. This is a great moment to join us for if you want hang out with Doom to wish him well and also say a big hello to your new CM Mod Yuey!
Mod Rsguy
Finally, you might have caught this yesterday, but we are delighted to welcome The RS Guy as a full-time contractor to the RuneScape Community Team!
Mod RSguy joins us to focus exclusively on Creators, rather than as a Community Manager. Mod Rsguy will be working closely with the entire RuneScape team to help us design our content to enable more creative opportunities for Creators, through to how we can better celebrate and support the success of anyone who wants to create in RuneScape.
This is something that’s been about 9 months in the making, and we’re really excited to see what we can do with Mod Rsguy on the team too!
Alright, that’s it from me. Lots to digest there, but I hope really exciting. Yuey and Doom will be in the comments below, so do drop em a message if you have anything to say!
Speak soon.
