July 16, 200917 yr Well since we have had another major update installed into RuneScape (eliminating protect items in a pvp situation), and my RS career may be coming to and end, (rl resaons, not the update) I figured I would make a timeline of the most memorable, impacting, or infamous, updates introduced to the game. I am going to need help doing this because I WILL make mistakes and miss some things. I'm also going to need help with dates for the events. I'm going to start from my earliest memory and work my way forward. This is where you guys will come in. I want to work my way back to the begining of RS and forward till today. PS- Month and Year is fine for dates Note: If a similar topic has been created, or it is in the wrong forum please lock or move this topic.

July 16, 200917 yr -RS2 -Construction -Summoning -Removal of Wilderness, Trade Limits, Death of Staking, Grand Exchange -Addition and removal of BH in the WIlderness Volcano -New BH/PvP Worlds -Rise of 26k/76k tricking in PvP/BH worlds, addition of ancient artefacts -Alteration of PvP/BH worlds. Automatic skulling and banning of the protect item prayer. Resulted in a drastic and chaotic crash of expensive items. -While Guthix Sleeps quest -God Wars Dungeon -Stealing Creation - allowed players to be able to buy morphic tools from the minigame rewards show, which drastically cut down on the cost of several 99s, including construction, smithing, and crafting. -Ancient Magicks/Desert Treasure quest - made magic more dangerous I'm sorry, but I don't know any of the dates. I hope some of the listed things help though. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

July 16, 200917 yr Honestly, did yesterdays update really 'change Runescape forever'? All it did was eliminate an easy-ish way to make money, unlike most of the others listed. :| #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod
July 16, 200917 yr Doesn't every update change runescape forever??? except for the ones that are rechanged because of rwting or something

July 16, 200917 yr ^ That's quite a list. A Draconic Guide V1.4, Fimer - Multi-Timer Farming Timer V3.Dragon Boots: 39|Abyssal Whips: 16|Dark Bows: 1|
July 16, 200917 yr Any update that wasnt reversed changed runescape forever. So I guess you should start listing all of them. The clock is ticking, and your time is running out, mortals.
July 16, 200917 yr Distractions and Diversions certainly for me. Gotta love penguins and circus especially. I wouldn't say FOG , dfs and dark bow should be in the list but the rest look fine.
July 16, 200917 yr I think a list of updates that had little to no impact would be easier to compile. Then leave it up to people to find the compliment of that list in the super set of RS updates. Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!
July 16, 200917 yr All the little updates together changed RS way more then any big one. When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+
