Troacctid Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The other letters are supposed to have hints too. Evil Dave's letter: Something involving either Evil Dave or his "SPANIEL OF UNIMAGINABLE HORROR." Dr. Nabanik's letter: This is obvious, it means they're continuing to work on the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest line. Zimberfizz's letter: Lines up with the Hardens South section of the CE's suitcase. Something is fishy about Nomad, and we're going to find out what. Thurgo's letter: Talking about different types of metal probably is a subtle nod at the elemental equipment, so I'm thinking Elemental Workshop 3. Ping and Pong's letter: Penguins. Cold War 3, presumably, or else whatever the "rock star" hint is referring to. Reldo's letter: Has to do with elves; therefore, a future update will have to do with elves. Lines up with the Temple of Light map. Vargas's letter: Likely a hint at the same thing as the peanut joke, some sort of barbarian Assault update.

Silver_Corner Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't think its been suggest yet on this thread, not that I could see at least but.. What is a rock, and a star? A Shooting Star? Something to do with the shooting star minigame? Still not sure how it would tie into fishing however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterDexter Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was thinking the same way, but really couldn't find something to tie fishing with it. Except that there could be a similar D&D as shooting stars, but with fishing spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melencholy Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 In the code for the Chaos Elemental suitcase image, I found the following: Peter, I know you are looking in my suitcase. BTW - the gas is on at your house. Both the alt text for the image ("my name is in this Postbag") and the invisible span ("Peter, I know you are looking in my suitcase. BTW - the gas is on at your house.") are not visible normally. As for the meaning, the alt gives us a hint as to where to find the Chaos Elemental's name, and the invisible span suggests meaning to the Chaos Elemental saying, "do you smell gas?," i.e., the Chaos Elemental is pointing out that Pete left the stove on at his house. However, this is just the most simplistic interpretation of these messages, and more hidden meaning is certainly possible. as soon as i saw this i looked in properties and check this out the alternate text for the picture says. "my name is in this postbag" sorry is someone else has already seen this but i really want to know the chaos elemental s name and it might be something. oops old topic blast it i really wish i knew how to delete.......

Junkmutt Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 My brain suddenly made another weird choice for "All at the same time". Could the shortage of updates this summer be due to having three(or four) epic quests coming out in the same week? Could this be it or did my brain just spew out the chunks of lunch?

Technologic Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Just a thought, but could the digsite boat go to a place where a Mahjarrat is hiding/growing in power? Real men get 99 str on cows 8-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Just a thought, but could the digsite boat go to a place where a Mahjarrat is hiding/growing in power? In order to really grow in power, the mahjarrat in question would need to be near the Ritual site, so it's unlikely. And there are only so many mahjarrat unaccounted for. There's nothing really preventing that, but it seems like it would be anticlimactic, don't you think?

Toad Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 My theory is, we know that Ali the Wise is an anagram for that Mahjarrat (forgot the name), maybe we can figure out other NPCs as Mahjarrats through doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it's nice to know that no one had suggested either Nomad or soul wars until i presented the possibility. It always feels good to be on the cutting edge of a good riddle.

[Cabage] My Life I remember feeling the same way, but when WGS rolled around and I ended up doing all the quests. Quests are annoying, I don't know how people enjoy them so much. Yeah, they're fun, but I keep forgetting something stupid like...a tinderbox...at the bank when I'm in the middle of some dungeon 15 minutes from a bank. ~It's Super Effective!

Troacctid Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that postie pete remarked "I must say that the suitcase smelt decidedly of dagannoth.

We can't really glean much from that tidbit except that whatever new content is coming for the Fremennik area will involve dagannoths somehow.

The examine text of Romily Weaklax from the Cooking guild might suggest that he's also a Mahjarrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
