The_Avatar Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The Barrows Brothers, six of the most feared undead creatures on RuneScape, were not always the incarnations of evil that they are now. Once, they were the mightiest of Saradomin's warriors, their fall orchestrated by a mysterious stranger who visited them in the night, bestowing on them powerful gifts that began to corrupt their pure souls. Even as the darkness within them grew, they fought on into the heart of Morytania. Our latest wallpaper shows them on the eve of their final battle with the darkness of the east - a battle that took their souls... [hide=The Wall Paper] http://www.runescape.com/img/main/kbase ... 00x600.jpg[/hide] Its time for the Poll Orks to take a well-earned rest. Theyve been working overtime to make sure that your votes are counted in time. Thank you to everyone that voted in the Guaranteed Content Christmas 2008 poll. The options were a combination of our own wintery ideas and some excellent suggestions from you, with every event idea having plenty of supporters. These are the winning options that will be making it into December's event: Christmas Event - Winner: Jack Frost has an evil plan. Can you get to him before he covers the whole of RuneScape with ice? You will need a cool head to foil Jack Frosts sub-zero plans for Gielinor this Christmas. Christmas Format - Winner: A quest is the most popular format for the holiday event this Christmas, so, expect to do some adventuring! Christmas Rewards - Winner: Its been a close race for the top three reward options. The winner is a Santa suit so, if you successfully complete the Christmas quest, you will be rewarded with a cosy costume to warm you up. Christmas Emote - Winner: Its been an even closer race between the top two emote options! Whats clear is that the vast majority of you want to see your character become more than a little bit frosty. The winning option is 'turning into snow and melting'! The Poll Orks dont have a very long break, as we have a brand new poll for you to vote in. Theres an opportunity for you to imagine how different life could be in this week's Living in RuneScape poll. Didn't see any topics for this(searched) and thought it deserved some discussion.

The_Avatar Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 I wish they'd change the barrows armor to look like it does in the picture, I love it. But its too bad about the Christmas event they picked the most unoriginal event and reward, I guess I'm in it for the emote this year.(which they'll release again like the scared emote and bunny hop :wall:) Previously known as Monkeybeast0.

Goldenjkered Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Anyone think the armour in the wallpaper looks quite a bit different to what we have now? I'm thinking maybe a graphical updae to the barrows armour and weapons.

ForsakenMage Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I wanted the Elf costume to be honest since we already had Santa hats and reindeer hats. I feel like the elves got left out. :( Still, I am looking forward to seeing the event. Should be amazing, especially on HD. :D Adventurer's Log || YouTube || Facebook || Tip.it Times Work || Wanna Join the Editorial Panel?Maxed Out 01 October 2012 PDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frakir_staer Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The Barrows armor looks different because that is a picture of the brothers before they were corrupted and their armor left to rot in an underground tomb for hundreds of years. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man sleepy and blind in the eyes.Carai an Caldazar! Carai an Ellisande! Al Ellisande!If it's the thought that counts, why aren't humans innately telepathic?

Please tell me your not serious. It looks completely different, decaying wouldn't change what it looks like just the quality. Example Ahrim's robes wouldn't turn to chain.

Koo Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The new quest and emote sound really cool. Not too sure on the Santa outfit myself... Who actually uses the Runescape wallpapers? ^dds'er in progress =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Avatar Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Who actually uses the Runescape wallpapers? I'm sure some of the younger players do, aside from that they're pretty cool to look at. Previously known as Monkeybeast0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Really digging the wallpaper, and I'm sure it means there's a graphical update in store for us. And I'm so excited for the Santa Suit! Now I can walk around looking like half a Santa cause... I ...don't ... have... a Santa Hat, like the majority of players. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

123_x_pac Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Wallpaper is cool. Format cool. Event cool. Emote cool. Reward mega phail. Come on we already have a santa item put something new in the game. I bet its mostly merchants who chose the santa suit so they can make more money off the stupid looking hats :evil: .....They need to make the Barrows actually look like that :thumbsup: League of Legends Referal link: http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=4e55a571778d2633364408"Life is short, and shortly it will end, Death comes quickly which respects no one, Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one"Drops: 8whips, 28dboots, 1hand cannon, 2 dmeds 3dskirts 2 dbows99s(in order): Attack Constitution Defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyPunchers Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Santa suit really sucks, but i don't care much anymore. I love the wallpaper though. And i'm not even "one of the younger players". *Claims dh avatar* Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide.

Smackapotato Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Haha, Verac has no nipple. Santa suit will probably be a let down =/ EDIT - Signature far exceeds our sig limits but since it's so colourful you can keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
