  1. Am I the only one who thought they would help you in dung? Solo a dungeon with help from them?

     

    This is what I thought at first too.

     

    I must say, I don't particularly like this idea. They compare them to Zanik, but Zanik worked because she was created for the quest series. It wouldn't have worked if you just replaced Zanik with Xenia and adjusted the story so it worked with her, which I think is basically going to happen with these 'heroes'.

     

    These heroes seem tailor made to do a team-up, a Runescapian Avengers/Justice League if you will. Ariane seems to be the closest thing to a main character, and not in a good way. A rational, idealistic, pretty young mage who has studied at the Wizard's Tower and Mages' Guild and knows almost all varieties of magic, who happens to be a limited pre-cog. That's dangerously close to Mary Sue-dom.

  2. Talking to Mod Poppy on the F-Mod forums, apparently the Future Updates forum is "on the top of her list" to pass on to the forum devs, but that it will take "a huge show of support" for it to come back.

     

    I have to say, I'm pissed. Future Updates was one of the few good RSOFsections and now they want us to just post in General?

  3. I like the idea of a java free client. Better support for DX9+ and D3D could really improve the graphics system of Runescape.

     

    Java isn't really the biggest thing holding them back, graphics-wise. Its just because having high polygon-count models would make things very laggy when streamed like Runescape is

  4. Jagex has already admitted that the new player numbers have stagnated. Mod Kelvin said so in the community management interview he did on a podcast. That's why we have been seeing updates for the starting area - beginning quests, tutorial update, etc. They are trying to get new gamers into Runescape.

     

    I'm also sort of worried that so many people were leaving Jagex. I check the Jagex Vacancies list every week and there are always a lot of openings available. I was always impressed that Jagex was expanding their workforce by so much, but now that I know they were just replacing leavers I'm wondering why so many people are leaving Jagex. Game developers generally don't have that high of a turnover rate in terms of workers...

     

    Looking at the Q&A with Gerhard, they have apparently started anoth MMO in addition to Stellar Dawn, which could explain it. Not to mention that when Mechscape was canned it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the people who worked on that left.

  5. Hah.

     

    Oh geez.

     

    After about the twentieth or so page I can't keep reading.

     

    Look, it was just a joke. His choice of words mean NOTHING besides the fact that he took the first anagram on a list after punching his phrase into an anagram generator. He could have easily gone with something else on the list and then you'd be discussing those words instead.

     

    "Acolyte until" is the alphabetical first phrase that will come out of an anagram generator if we're not counting chemical words. Which most common generators will not use.

     

    JUST A JOKE.

     

    I swear you folks could turn a sneeze on a tissue into dragon crossbows or something.

     

    Anyway, I'm leaning more towards the ritual (it kind of looks like the ritual) but anything could happen :P Echo of the future? Current event? Things are getting more chaotic.

     

    I'll be staring at this video to see if anything else was going on.

    Once again, the ranking system: Initiate -> Proselyte -> Acolyte -> Partisan. http://runescape.wik...ki/White_knight

    Once again, Witchhaven villagers' dialogues have changed to reflect that Mother Mallum has risen. Their dialogue changed when this event took place, like the Seers' dialogue did.

    Also, the animation that played during this event was slightly similar to animations from Kennith's Concerns. I'm not sure if they are exactly the same, but if they were, it'd be a dead giveaway.

     

    I keep hearing that the villagers have new dialogue, then I hear that they've always said that. Which is it?

  6. No one seems to have brought up that Zaros was dead for arounda few thousand years by the time the God Wars happened, (Zaros died in the second age I think? GW was Third Age)

     

    Wouldn't make sense for a Zaros GWD.

     

    Who the hell said Gwd? We're probably going to be used as a portal, a gateway for Zaros to return to this realm, just maybe. Our characters are 'vital for Zaros' revival' and we are needed 'in one piece'. It could just be figurative or it could be literal. Zaros didn't die, he simply faded out of existance on this plane.

     

     

    Also, Zaros wasn't in the God Wars (was he?), so it wouldn't make sense for him to be involved as his forces had largely been wiped out when Zamorak betrayed him.

     

    Zaros had already been banished long before the God Wars. The God Wars were the result of Zamorak returning as a god and taking control of much of Zaros' forces and the other gods fighting him because they wanted Zaros' empire for themselves

    Zaros had no army, his 'army' were Mahjarrat, who betrayed him.

     

    Not true. Most of Zamorak's army were converted Zarosians, including Vampyres (though only for the promise of Hallowvale), most Mahjarrat, humans, and so on. Zaros had an army

  7. I wonder if that power surge across Runescape has anything to do with this update.

     

    maybe, but i'd like to think the surge was part of what will be several months of teasing and strange events before it's related release.

    the twitter post makes me think it's something small, but that might just be because it's twitter :wall:

     

    "All will be revealed soon :-) Ajd"

     

    I don't think it'll be months. I'll give it 3 weeks at the most until whatever the Strange Power is hinting at is released.

     

  8. I only skimmed over the thng bout life runes; but even thuogh paul said in the summoning dev diary they had planned life runes, i think he said they decided to use charms instead? as to not brig life runes into rc somehow...

    Eitehr that or life runes weren' gfonna be brought into the game.

     

    They stopped using life runes when summoning stopped being a part of magic.

  9. Yes, many people think the skill will be Barding. That would be an awful skill. So no Barding skill, okay Morningwood? Er... I mean rise. :oops:

     

    Not to mention its been done before (FFXI had a Bard extra class) and a while ago, when the Dev Blog for rest came out, a JMod said they weren't making a skill of it.

  10. If Priffdinias is being opened, we better keep our eyes of the Wise Old Man too. He has his eyes set on the crystal city. He's planning to break into the city and seal some of the knowledge held in the city's "Undercity".

     

     

     

    The plot:

    He did want me to pass on one message to you:

     

    "All good things come to those who wait, currently I'm interested in...local...concerns."

     

     

     

    "Local concerns" may be a coverup, that's fairly obvious. It could also mean local as in the entire world if you want to look at it relatively.

     

     

     

    And of course:

     

    wom2.gif

     

     

     

    That was player-made. Specifically, by me (I used the name of an alternate account I never bothered to level). I doubt Jagex is seriously going to have that be a plot in the game.

  11. Anyone remember that post awhile ago when Jagex talked about the new security they were working on? Such as being able to limit playing hours.

     

     

     

    I'm trying to look for it atm so I'll post it if I find it.

     

     

     

     

     

    I remember that, I just don't see why testing it would call for children to go there IRL
