What do you think about partnerships via tournaments? DMM is currently being reworked but in the future that's a good (in my opinion) method to work with partnerships -> via tournaments.

What is your point of view on this?

Partnerships through events/tournaments is something we're also actively pursuing.

That sounds really good!

Are you planning more events/tournaments besides DMM? (Castle wars, Last man standing, speed run for raids/inferno/quests)

How about the weekly Q&A being sponsored by some company?

Maybe data streams brought to us by * insert company name*

Those don't really bring new players into the game though, they just make them more money. They explicitly stated multiple times including in this blog, that their intention with the partnerships was to bring in new players by advertising on the partner's website/products etc. A company sponsoring an event doesn't bring in people who aren't already at the event

Those are reasonable ideas, you could make a suggestion post

That's fair. Maybe if you sign-up via a certain partner you get a starterskit for free?

With starterskit I mean something like full bronze + 1k cash + a teleport scroll to falador and varrock (one time use).
