We got a neat little video! earlier today I didn't realise until steve provided the link woo-woo!

Congratulations, Smelly. Your question wasn't answered. Why does MMG even bother, honestly? In fairness that would have been a pretty big spoiler if answered, I don't mind... I refreshed the topic for a good 10 minutes before the reply button appeared, by that time I thought I was hallucinating reply.. it took me a good 10 seconds to click it

My questions got dodged was worth a shot on possible teasers :lol:, atleast I asked slightly original questions though :smile:

I didn't think it started until 8? There's questions he's already answered (from a thread of questions over the past few weeks)

We wouldn't have a 35+ page topic on it if they gave us more information. The lack of any is what creates the excitement. Its another 'chairs you can sit on!' moment. Well chairs you can sit on there wasn't much speculation about, me and friends joked about that sarcastically.. then we realised it was construction

Just to help you translate MMG's language. "Soon" means "this year" and" very soon" means "in the next few months". Haha. You might be right about that. It is likely later than that, but I'm being hopeful :pray: Not to give you guys false hope but my RuneScape skill clock thinks late february - late march (don't quote me it's just my gut instinct it also says pasta for dinner) Well your gut instinct matches my gut instinct so maybe :ohnoes: Yes I hope it's pasta too

I hope this eradicates whitescreening :P You guy do understand this means non-java client, ie the ability to easily port RS to consoles right? That alone is a massive deal. Pretty much confirms RS will go only consoles pretty soon. incorrect. the transition to consoles, if possible, is not just graphical - it means there needs to be plenty of cooperation between jagex and the companies involved - plenty of negotiations, deals etc to be done. that is if they even want to have runescape on the console (it could draw players away from other games). some of them will also want to squeeze as much money out of it as possible (microsoft). so no, runebox360 is not coming soon at all. mmg mentions it on the thread also. Aye, Mod Mark (Lead content developer) was in game the other day (not to be mistaken with Mod MMG) a player asked about consoles he said that you can only play it on Wii and Ps3 through browsing the internet on those consoles, otherwise you can't (360 is a closed network). Jagex did offer it to the companies as a free game for people but they were like "what's the catch" sort of thing.

I hope this eradicates whitescreening :P

yeah jas is like an elder god or something that created the stone, way before guthix. there's ties with the dragonkin and probably frensakae (or however it's spelled.) but i reckon jas is a dead god and that is why the dragonkin appear to be rogue. [runewiki] [/hide] I edited my post my theory is that it's the Oracle personally :P that'd be awesome though a return of Jas too. yeah he's obviously a powerful figure having created the stone and enslaved the dragonkin, but as i said if he's still around he's either in hiding (yeah maybe a character like the oracle) or departed from gielnor. would definately be nice to see him again, any quest related to him would probably involve rounding up the dragonkin and stuff so yeah. Maybe Jas can only unlock the true power of the Stone of Jas and currently it's only working at a very low percent :P this is hilarious because JAS is an acronym for java application server which is basically what the game runs on (probably not a naming coincidence there) and for players to use the upgraded stone (stats above 255) would require an upgrade to the JAS - because the maximum usable value is currently 255 (or was, but i think they've got past it now with rt5 - see the corp, nomad's hp) funny! Weapons could also do a percentage of the monsters hp (such as ruby bolts) so you can still hit harder.. say if they made a weapon like a Thors hammer which is the Staff of Armadyl in RuneScape that could weaken the monster futher or just increase damage by a range of 20-100 lets say.. also I kind of meant for Jas to use not our players, so Jagex could make a cutscene with it hitting a tonne not necessarily having 255 stats, I'm not sure if it can go past 255 though, I heard that whilst reading up on lores etc a while ago, but I'm not sure on full capabilities of java.

[runewiki] Maybe a future twist in the Mahjarrat storyline then

Off-topic here but I Wonder if the Stone of Jas ever belonged to anybody, was there a god or goddess called Jas? we know that the stone was around before Guthix set foot in Gielnor, before that is written lore in RuneScape pretty much none-existant? imagine if there's a big fight going on before the ritual between Zaros, Zamorak, Saradomin & the other Mahjarrat, Guthix has awoken and decides to fight, and then enters Jas who turns out to be more powerful than all of them... who turns out all this time has been lurking in the shadows watching them sacrifice one another fighting over his/her stone and destroying the land :P Here's another possible thing for you, what if the Oracle is Jas? she spoke of the Stone of Jas way before WGS etc, and the Oracle is a very old and wise figure :twisted:

Aye we used to get information of them moving offices and hiring more staff :P Nice figurines you have there my good sir :thumbup:

Or the ENGINE-CRASHING and APOCALYPTIC POWER-INDUCING RETURN OF ZAROS!!! But propably FT3 THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN But it only seems logical its ftp3

Never believe Anyas theorys demon for 500+ years but is afraid of bunnies.

November, Blood runs deep was december ;) http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=2462&allcat=true kthxbai. ;) I had the feeling it was late november but perhaps not, still I wouldn't rule it out entirely although it's really doubtful

November, Blood runs deep was december ;) Zaros just got introduced into the game, so I doubt it's zaros. As for a mahjarrat, why can't that and the soul alter be one in the same? If one of them has to be sacrificed to give life to the rest of them then the soul alter makes perfect sense. Not really he's been known about for a very long time, and yes it's a possibility for the soul altar, as Jhallan said on the quest "Tale of a Muspah" about a "rock of life" which could mean soul altar.

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: Emilee is very vague with her hints for it to be widespread on RuneScape at a peak time on a saturday night Jagex knows they're playing with fire, or rants here so it's big big big if you ask me ;)

I sure hope it does I've been collecting ess from drops for awhile lol Well if Jagex put Cat in the hints it doesn't necessarily mean a house cat it could mean a panther, same with essence.

Essence doesnt necessarily mean rune essence.

You might be onto something! Jagex twitter said something about variety is the essence of life. Stone of Jas (thing that made runestones)? Mahjarrat? Star Alignment? Ritual in The North? Zarosian Return? That would be one hell of a quest, but I'd have to see it to believe it there's not that much proof of it yet, people see essence and assume runecrafting but essence could be so much more

I Think it's safe to say no matter what it is for Jagex to plan this for all players its going to be a pretty magnificient update I hope it's tomorrow and I can't wait :P
