RuneLabs is a website feature that allows players to submit suggestions for game content, and to vote on the submissions. It involves five steps to get a player-made idea into the game: Submitting an idea, receiving support from players, a review from Jagex, a player vote, and finally the idea being developed into the game. Each month has a certain criteria for ideas that Jagex is looking for.
RECOMMENDED IDEA FOR AUGUST 2015: One idea that has yet to see much support but could be an extremely amazing update is the proposition of a new boss called Yenser. It is a solo boss much like Araxxor but the mechanics are extremely different. Check it Out!
Process
Step 1: Players add ideas
In order to add an idea, players must be a member. A title, description, and category is needed to classify the idea. Categories include: combat, community, Distraction and Diversions/Minigames, Ninja updates, quests, seasonal events, skills, and miscellaneous updates.
A Forum QFC can optionally be added, to provide a link to a thread of a similar suggestion.
After making an idea, a preview is shown and a button to publish.
Step 2: Players support ideas
Players can support ideas until a given date by press the 'Support' button on the ideas page. The number of supports is then shown on the left. Ideas can be added to a personal wish list to easily find them later.
Ideas can also be reported to Jagex if it contains a serious issue.
Step 3: Jagex reviews ideas
Jagex then reviews the ideas that are suitable to be implemented into the game, and ones that are not get rejected. The rejected ideas are still currently shown on the Ideas list as normal ideas, without any icon to tell the difference, only by looking at the actual page can you tell if it has been rejected.
Step 4: The best ideas are voted for in Player Power
The top ideas then pass into the 'Player Power' stage, where they are voted for to decide the idea that will be implemented.
Step 5: The top idea is put under development
The top idea is then put into development, and should be seen in the game later that year.

- ^ The farming timer came in third, but was still accepted due to the small difference in votes with the second idea (Slayer belt) and the fact that its scope was considered small.
