Developer Blogs (also called Development Diaries) are articles and videos from Jagex Moderators that describe the processes behind the development of RuneScape. They account for a separate category of news posts on the RuneScape website and formerly had their own dedicated section there. Dev blogs are more commonly posted on the RuneScape Forums.
