Hatchets..? When'd They Change?

Featured Replies

When did Jagex change the name from axe to hatchet? And why? I have no problem with a name, but why'd they change it all of a sudden?

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.

look on RSOF theres topic called "patch notes" look in that, and the reason why because there was 2 axes, wc axe and b axe, and people got confused, so JaGex changed the name from axe to hatchet

Gees.. A simple 'too many styles of axes, so they changed it' would have been fine... -.-

well....just throwing this out there but maybe they changed it cuz they finally figured out that u wield a axe with 2 hands and a hatchet with 1. just to make things more "real" in game i suppose lol

Talk on the phone for hours with schoolmates and you have an active social life.

Raid naxx with some schoolmates on WoW and you're a fat menace to society with no ambition or motivation.

In the past, before they updated several item's names (like dds -> ddp++), the wc axe was named hatchet. I think they just decided to rechange this for easy reference.

I know tons of people who call them hatchets, since that is what they are.

Anyway, its not the end of the world.

 

 

 

Personally, if it dosent affect more than 5 seconds of your runescape playing life, don't bother posting it.
