Ok, I think it's past mid-day for most our players now, so I'd better come clean. This post was of course (as most of you guessed) a joke for April 1st. I hope you enjoyed it. The real behind the scenes for April will be posted first thing tommorow on Monday 2nd April.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Original joke post below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With Easter comes spring. Spring brings us new plants, so we asked ourselves, "What's everyone's favourite plant?" Of course, the answer is obviously the cabbage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this year's Easter update will be Cabbagey Easter, featuring cabbages for everyone! And if that doesn't whet your appetite enough, these aren't just ordinary cabbages. Easter is traditionally about foods (such as eggs) being strange colours, so we've come up with what we think is a completely unique idea: red cabbage!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up, Fred the farmer has a severe problem. His cabbages are not growing as big as he'd like! In the first quest of the month, Cabbage Ritual, you'll get the chance to explore some of the most exciting and dangerous places in RuneScape, from the bustling city of Rimmington to the shadowy remote town of Lumbridge, searching for pieces for a fantastic new weapon: the hallowed cabbage-grow-a-bit-bigger laser!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the quest you'll even be able to use the laser on your own cabbage patches, so that your cabbages grow into big cabbages which will heal 2 hitpoints! (If you do the maths you'll find that's twice as many hitpoints as an ordinary cabbage heals.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deep under the Melzar's Maze vegetable patch, darkness lies. Actually it's always been a bit dark under there, what with it being underground and never getting any sun, but soon there will be a new, more dangerous, metaphorical sort of darkness. The secret tunnels which run under the patch are about to be invaded by a new deadly enemy: killer cabbages!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get your spades ready, for the 3rd update of the month, will feature one and a half levels of increasingly dangerous enemies. First you'll meet the level 2 cabbage spawn, but soon the challenges will ramp up as you confront the level 5 cabbage knights. Finally, at the end of the dungeon, prepare to face our new high-level boss monster, the deadly level 11 Brassica Prime, king of the cabbages!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, we'll be adding some special new item drops for anyone with the strength and stamina to defeat these terrifying new monsters. So watch out for the cabbage armour! With legs, helmet and body to collect, you can make yourself look a complete cabbage!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A couple of notes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Beware of rabbits. This armour won't protect you from them, since they actually like eating cabbage.

 

 

 

* Please note that we felt it necessary to set level 3 Defence and level 5 Cooking requirements for wielding this armour. We suspect the 'no Cooking level' pures may not be happy, but in the interests of good game balance we will definitely not be backing down on this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The penultimate update of the month will be a new rune, the cabbage rune, which will be sold in the Varrock rune shop. We plan to add this to the Runecrafting skill soon (planned for 2014).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a new rune, you'll be needing some new spells, so we're releasing four!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Cabbage-speak will cause filtered words you say to become cabbages instead of asterisks (stars).

 

 

 

* Locate Cabbage will bring up a yellow flashing arrow on your screen to point you in the direction of the nearest cabbage.

 

 

 

* Bones to Cabbages is a daring new spell concept that will turn all the bones in your inventory into cabbages.

 

 

 

* We will also be adding the Share Cabbage spell to the Lunar magicks spellbook so you'll be able to give all your friends cabbages too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the final update of the month, on April 31st we will turn everyone into a cabbage.

 

 

 

Muahahahaha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry if It's been posted before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally I think it was obviously a joke as they gave away too much information on the armour ETC.

i really hope a new d wep would come out. we havent had it since the 2h.

While reading this I actualy bileved it until it started talking about the cabbage laser thing...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then it was kind of obvious and I feel like an idiot lol

I know it was going to be a joke before I opened it because it said April 1st on it. And I was kind of expecting it this year.

haha it was a good joke, but its sad they had to post that it was just a joke

 

 

 

i think it brought out a part of the rs community that not many like to see

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

people who will complain about anything

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

even if you didn't find it funny, there's no need to complain

 

 

 

it didn't affect your real life , and if you think it did, maybe go outside and see there more to life than runescape?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

o well i was jut amazed that people would complain about something so innocent as an april fools joke

Yeah. I knew it was a joke from the get-go.

it was quiet easy to tell...they put

 

 

 

"In the final update of the month, on April 31st we will turn everyone into a cabbage.

 

 

 

Muahahahaha!"

 

 

 

there is no 31st of april. but that would still be very awesome. and cabbage armor to...think of what the order of the caggage would say :-k

This was pretty obvious.

 

 

 

I didn't think jagex even had to explain that it was a joke.

yes same here, but there are players that are still naive to believe anything.

* Cabbage-speak will cause filtered words you say to become cabbages instead of asterisks (stars).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hahaha. Oh man, anyone else here remember when that actually happened? :P

Probably those kids that still believe in Santa.

It was nice, but I didn't really think it was all that funny. I would have liked to see something actualy beleavalbe, yet awful.

Ridiculous how many gullible people there are. Made 100k off of cabbage sells. Lmao.

He's talking about how gullible some people can be then he makes this far out statement and you're commenting him on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha this is too good. Even if he's telling the truth it's still funny.

i wanted that red cabbage too

 

 

 

why did they tell us it was a joke before the told us the joke though?

i hope it is this because its OoC's dream!

I really liked that joke :). But I understood it was a joke from the beginning, but it was still very funny.

 

 

 

The OoC must have felt honoured : .

I know this si off topic but what happened to order of the banana

we can tell Jagex is going downhill a few years ago they actually put new stuff in the game for april fools jokes, like they announced we've released horses! and they were toy horses, we've released dragon plates! and they were spinning plates, now all we get is a partly funny but over the top message....
