I would suggest because of the down time, they are adding more chat features to the servers, I seem to remember down time when clan chat was launched, so with the hint, I have to assume that it's this.

weve entered the critical 30 minutes, if it doesnt come within these 30 min then its probably not going to be released today (or even this week)

 

How so? They still have over 2 hours in normal office hours (until 5pm).

Yeah its only 2.40pm UK time.

 

Most updates are 3pm - 4pm, but they often also push towards 5pm as well.

And Jmods have said they don't rule out updating til 5pm passes, as there is only an hour of the working day left.

Unless its happening as i type it looks like no update today....Or Jagex is going to have to stay late.. Maybe the lower level grunts of Jagex can cash in with some overtime today...

It has been stated that they will be on overtime and it's not even 5pm. When normal UK working hours end, 13 more minutes to go.

Next week in #RuneScape: There will not be a game update this week. Maybe use this time to prepare yourself for bonus XP! :) -Ems(RSDev)

 

Was yesterdays Tweet.

Lol, I think this ones quite obvious...

 

I was planning on spending this week on getting supplies for bonus xp weekend anyway

Instead they'll have a forum update!

 

Smart tactic with having a no update week when everyone's busy gathering supplies.

I was kind of expecting this, so no big surprise here.

 

Cross your fingers for something epic for the week after next week. :P

I'm actually happy that I'll have time to gather my secondaries before the bonus weekend.

I agree, sometimes it's nice to have a break from updates so you have the opportunity to adjust to the ones we've had...

And we just had 4 updates all pretty close to the end of this week anyway.

Glad to see there's no update the week I'll be gone and won't have membership. :P

I think it's the new skill tbh.

 

Just kidding.

I honestly don't care about bonus xp weekend and won't be participating whatever happened to normal xp weekends

I feel the same way but i am going to take advantage of it by one buying some items i have wanted but didnt want to pay full price for and i have a bunch of DIY herbs im going to try and get from 70 to 75 herblaw out of. So even though i think this whole bonus weekend thing is totally bogus i will use it. But i hope they never do this kind of thing again.

My only real problem with this weekend is that it's only on the weekend. They should just give everyone 10 hours of bonus experience. It's not fair that people that can't play on this weekend miss out.

 

Otherwise...I think everyone is being a bit self-righteous and there are probably quite a few people who are complaining that will still sneak on and play. Not everyone, but still...

Well it is meant to be a community event. When everyone can do it at any time its hardly a community event as no one will do it at the same time.

 

I do think that this is a good initiative on Jagex' part they should just have only included DIY skills like fishing, mining, rcing, etc. Maybe next time :)

Well, all I'm thinking is "good luck trying to mine your way up a few levels" because skilling like that is going to be difficult...or people will wisely choose not to mine and focus on other skills that don't take as long to train in order to make the most of the time allotted. I still think just allowing the first ten hours of log in at any time would result in a large amount of people taking part...as it is, there are planned boycotts (although as previously mentioned, that won't prevent those same people from making money this weekend).

I don't mind if people boycott the week end for ideological issues. It means I will either reduce the gap between higher lvl players or the opposite with lower lvl players. It also means a lot of trainning spots are gonna be somewhat clear.

I don't like the concept of the double XP weekend. However, I'm still going to take part, simply because if I don't, I'm missing out on a great opportunity.

Exactly. Hunting and Mining will be crowded, but less so, if there are boycotters. Still crowded tbs, but not as bad as it could be. One thing to remember, DO NOT visit the circus until this weekend and then make that one of the first things you do...that agility bonus and mage and range bonus is excellent for not much time spent. Also, I plan on having a round of trees and bushes to check the health on and then replant them and log out after the circus and a farming round. It will save my time (since it's not consecutive hours and only logged in game time) and allow me two rounds of good planting. For me, everything else will be runecrafting, smithing, construction, herblore, or fletching. Mostly smithing, tbh.

Are you sure we are getting bonus XP from circus?
