Thanks JJ.
I think there will be a livestream later about those though yes?

Yup, from their facebook 7 minutes ago.

RuneScape Hey everyone, just a reminder this Q&A is about microtransactions and any questions you may have relating to it. Future Q&As will be about EoC, Bots, and other topics. :)

EDIT:
I'll be posting some interesting stuff here. NOTE: I might have some wrong information in here but I'm pretty sure I heard everything correctly.
- Mark Gerhard just mentioned that they are working on RuneScape 3.
- RuneScape was in terminal decline from 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and started to grow again in 2011. This year RuneScape has been growing consistantly
- Over 80% of the players are using the Squeel of Fortune daily.
- They are looking for better ways to advertise microtransactions on the main page
- The whole idea of the SoF was to bring in a whole range of resources into the game
- According to Mark Gerhard you can't just grab your creditcard and buy spins to get xp lamps
- Number #1 option to add the convert-to-coins option on SoF was to add convenience to unwanted items
- More microtransactions? No, just Squeel of Fortune and Solomon's Store with new additions.
- Can you re-assure that you can't the best armor from the Solomon's Store or Squeel of Fortune? Yes, they can assure that you won't be able to buy something like an uber spell.
- Player suggested microtransactions will most likely be going to added in the future.
- Next week there will be a livestream about bots
- HTML5 opens up a lot of new options such as tablets
- Revolutionary anti-botting stuff coming online soon
- They have been watching the movements/actions of the bots for the last three months to improve their anti-botting update
- 15% of the team is working on microtransaction updates
- Mark Gerhard does not like advertising outside RuneScape such as google ads. They are looking for other ways of advertising.
- Constantly mentioning the "doubling of the team's size"
-Mark Gerhard would love to add mounts to RuneScape, but they are not working on it at the moment.
- They thank everyone for playing RuneScape and being passionate (?).
- End of the stream.

What's up with the RuneScape 3 thing?

I'm not entirely sure as my brother came in the room when it was being mentioned, but my guess is the EoC might be RS3. >.<

From what I do defiantly know, what do you think about Jagex simply monitoring how bots behave. Which is why there hasn't been many/any botting bans lately.
