myreque quests are EXTREMELY boring, darkness of hallowvale(SP?) without a guide was torture. Be thankful it wasn't "take this to that guy, then come back, then slay this monster for me". Those kind of quests really are torture! I'm still a firm believer that the blood talismans will eventually follow from the Myreque quests. The end of DOH leaves a lot of loose ends - it just plays into the hands of Jagex, who can take their time inventing the altar. And it makes sense - vampires, blood. I don't think they'd give access to two treasured rune altars in one quest storyline, either (Death and Blood). They like variety. Maybe so, but needless to say I found it fun. With the DOH ending, JaGex left alot of loose ends, the Castle, the Owner and the miners, to what purpose do all these have? We will find out, we just have no idea when.
