Under "Miscellaneous", regarding the Safe Spot that was removed in PVP:

 

 

10-Feb-2009 15:40:20

 

It was upstairs in the Carnilleans' house in Ardougne, behind a secret wall.

 

It was PREVIOUSLY a PVP hotspot, but is NOW a safespot where combat isn't permitted, so no-one's going to log in there to find themselves in unexpected danger. The problem was that it was a hotspot where players couldn't easily attack anyone due to the confined space, so it was a pretty lame hotspot, and rather open to abuse.

so... a safespot was added, not removed? they should have worded it "a hotspot was made into a safe spot for various reasons" cause their explanation and wording is confusing.

I'm curious. Since the patch notes are replacing hidden updates, can we replace the thread? Remove hidden updates as it is now and make it a patch notes thread?

There are still some hidden updates, odd as it sounds. Jagex isn't posting everything, apparently.

I guess this is now true then for jade vine and bork? If so...sweeeeeeeeet!

Also sweet. I have definitely forgotten a time or two in the past

 

 

 

 

# The warning messages and sounds for the antifire potion and summoning familiar despawn warnings are now much clearer.

 

 

color change?

 

If so, would be nice for the "slayer task complete" one. I know it's pretty obvious, but I know I have accidentally blow past my amount in the past.

It was a hotspot like the ardy boat used to be, where you can't move. So basically, no one could attack you when you stood there, allowing you to build up hotzone time without a single bit of risk except for maybe randoms. So they changed it to a safezone. So now you can't build pvp time, but you CAN use it as an escape route.

 

 

 

The changes this update were definitely awesome. They're fixing a lot of stuff thats been needed.

Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x.

 

PvP drops: 359 Brawling Gloves, 11 Vesta's Longswords, 41+ Zaros/Ancient Statues

9 Dragon Full Helms, 3 Dragonfire Shields on the old PvP loot system

 

Brawler guide is being finished!

+1.

 

In fact, I would love to have an audio cue added to the slayer message, like the ticking clock for the despawn message.

There is an audio cue when you finish a slayer task.
