Fudgy999 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 This month will begin with an important change that you are all aware of: unbalanced trade will be removed on Wednesday, 2nd of January. As you may have read in the Development Diary: RuneScape vs Real-world Trading, this will be a change that reduces the threat of bots, gold sellers and scammers dramatically. With a fatal blow delivered to real-world trading, we can focus more on updates like three quests in one month! We will be relaxing our trade limitations on the same day as unbalanced trade removal. Thanks to your feedback, we will be basing our new limits on how many Quest Points you have. This will give you increased flexibility when trading. Our first quest this month continues the desert storyline and introduces a bit of an insect theme in January. One of your allies met an untimely demise at the pincers of a large and aggressive bad guy in the Contact! quest. Will you seek revenge and cleanse the world of bugs like a big can of insect repellent? Or will you take the advice of the local priest and try to talk your way out, man-to-mandible? It might just be the lesser of two weevils. Creep and crawl through the desert, raid deserted dungeons and fight louse-y beasties, but remember - insects have feelings too! Especially when you squish ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâem. Some way north-west of Sophanem, there is a bit of a buzz in the quiet town of Taverley. For one, Guthix has seen fit to give his loyal subjects some crisp new robes, and their rocky buildings a bit of a wax. For two, some strange growlings have been coming from Piccupstix's house. In the second of this month's quests, you will be roped into dealing with a rabbit-wolf-reindeer-bird-type...thing. But how do you defeat rabbit-wolf-reindeer-bird-type...things? A clue may be found in the title of this Wolf Whistle quest, which introduces key aspects of our next update... What has 110 eyes, 5 horns, a pair of antlers and a fishbowl? The Chaos Elemental's girlfriend? No, it's Summoning! That's right, the stampede is coming, with scores of animals for you to pet, raise, fight and befriend! We don't want to go into any more detail than the Development Diaries have, but, needless to say, whether you are a skiller or a combat-fiend, Summoning will offer you a familiar for every occasion... ...and what better occasion than the opening of a huge multiway combat dungeon, brimming with a huge range of beasties? Bring your combat familiar so that you can use their Steel of Legends or Insane Ferocity to chew through ranks of creatures and speed you on your way towards that Summoning skillcape! Watch out, though - the area is littered with misfiring portals that are about as reliable as a cartful of Morrisanes. You would be forgiven for thinking that January is just for Summoning. Oh no,no,no - Hunter will get a look in too! Budding trappers will find many treats within the Summoning skill itself, but they will also find an extension to their skill in Isafdar, with the introduction of the grenwall and pawya creatures. These are two high-level Hunter creatures that give a boost to Ranged and Farming - if you can catch them, of course. Your Hunter, alongside your Woodcutting and Firemaking, will be called upon in our third and final January quest. In it, you will be asking yourself several questions. How do I clear a mud bath of flies? Why am I sleeping on a pork chop? Is an ogre massage a good idea? And what are platypodes? Take time out from your adventuring to help an entrepreneur set up a spa resort deep in ogre country. There might even be a mudpack in it for you. There's hardly room in the month to tuck in some popular website offerings. Expect the last of our Summoning Development Diaries and wallpapers, a Lores and Histories, a Castle Wars wallpaper and the customary Players' Gallery and Postbag from the Hedge, sprinkled liberally amongst the updates above. It really is a January to get excited about! Whatpulse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharockslayer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Im especially looking forward to those hunter creatures. The ones of Isdafar. They seem great. That and 3 quests? Dang. Summoning, a new dungeun, a sequel to Contact, 2 other quests. Seems like they are sure working their butts off to get the people playing again :lol: . Nevertheless this looks like a great month. Probs to them. Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

Happysniff Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Looks like a good month :shock: Should be a good start to 2008, now lets put 2007 behind us.... 3 quests in 1 month is good too, and Taverly is getting a graphical update too. And summoning wooooooooooot \ \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Looks like a pretty active month. Hopefully changes to the GE will be made next month so Monster Hunting can still continue, and this stuff will keep everyone going until then. :wink: | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjab Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I don't see a thing for 1vs1 combat zone :cry: I think something like that would take longer than a month to implement, bug test and amongst everything else they have to do. Im looking forward to this month, we'll finally have more than 250 Quest Points which I believe could result in a new guild later this year. A sequel to Contact, looks like I may dust off my Keris and see where it takes me! I have no idea what that mudpack entails, we'll have to wait and see. Lots of stuff for summoning, so it's certainly going to keep us interested for a long long while, not to mention a new dungeon! And finally Isafdar get's an update that makes it more worthwhile going there, not to mention that update involves Hunter!! I may get a bit more experience in the skill and start rising in the ranks of it again. :thumbsup: Who knows, if famaliars can be tradeable, this could be quite profitable. :D It's like Jagex said, it's a mixed month! Really looking forward to it! *edit* And how can I forget we are seeing a graphical update for Taverly! Im actually begining to think that it could possibly be made f2p, but we'll have to wait and see what this summoning quest entails before I speculate any further on that.

Freesia Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Seems like a errmm quiet month for rc! #-o Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calum12 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Wow, new incentive for me to go and do underground pass. I want those farming monsters! New hunter quests w00t! Hmmm.... I need a new siggy, get round to doing it later. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcher Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 This is amazing. My favorite skill is Hunter and it seems to be getting a over dose of updates. To bad I can't get to Isafdar. What quest do you have to do get there? Well at least Hunter is going to be involved with Summoning. I can see the profit already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_Wizard Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I don't see a thing for 1vs1 combat zone :cry: Precisely what I was thinking. I've got a sneaky suspicion that the 1 vs. 1 combat zone Jagex promised up will end up the way of P.O.H's-- Six years in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they'd release it in the first half of this year, they didn't say they'd release it straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
