xxshady Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's part of the recent re-work of the starting F2P Quests. They've added quest-specific items instead of buyable ones (for example, a special egg for Cook's Assistant and a special hammer for Vampire Slayer). The icons are to notify the new player that the item or NPC is part of a certain quest (each quest that got re-worked has its own icon). As part of this update Draynor Manor had a graphical update as well. It's sort of odd that they didn't even mention this in the In Other News section though ------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 The priest in Lumbridge church also has an icon by his name. Several of the F2P quests had their rewards bumped up. If you go through your quest list one by one, you will see messages at the bottom of the ones with unclaimed rewards.

SAILING@@@@@)&95873592 Just kidding. :razz: When did they say they were reworking F2P quests? They didn't mention it, but I'm surprised it's taken them this long to rework a quest. Some of them are a little weird. They probably want to rearrange some of the story lines.

The Observer Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Jagex are racists. On a serious note, perhaps it's a hint at either the Christmas Event or a new quest (which leads to a new armour/item)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAILING@@@@@)&95873592 Just kidding. :razz: When did they say they were reworking F2P quests? In this interview with the lead CM Mod he mentions that they have spent some time reworking the beginning of the game (like the new tutorial and now these reworked quests) in order to have a better impact on brand new players so that they stay with the game. He also says that player number growth has stalled and it's sort of implied that Jagex is re-working the beginning of the game to solve this problem. They want to leave a good impression on new players so that numbers start growing again. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkmetal Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 There really are black sheep guys. I would know, I raised them.This is probably just to make Runescape feel a little more fleshed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire_Wolf Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It's obvious what it is. Jagex is working against racism, so instead of white sheeps running around inside fence they have placed some blacks ones too. :thumbup: Good job Jagex! :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Seems racist, not anti-racist to me.The white sheep are ordinary, but the black sheep are special. Thats discrimination based on colour. Jagex need to be careful about this or they'll have legal issues.

Try the white ones.It could be taken that the black sheep are either superior or inferior to the white sheep as the black sheep are special.Either way your calling one colour of sheep superior or different to the other and treating them different = racist. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I guarantee you someone will take it as being racist. The same way pretty much anything you or say can be taken as racist.

Grow up people.Tell the UK government that then as well as anyone who believes in being politically correct.Google baa baa black sheep controversy.Many schools refused to teach that song and a few changed it to rainbow sheep as they found it racist or discriminating.

I did not pay attention to the dialogue! That HAS to be removed. It's really offensive from my view. What idiot made this change... Good job Joe with making me aware of it :thumbup: To everyone argumenting that it's not racists:Even if it is not meant to be racists, it's cleary offensive. In a game there is clear boundries that you should not cross, and in this case Jagex or the person responsible for the dialogue text, have crossed the boundary.

Plugpoint Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You're talking about it like they've called it a severe racial slur, they've actually just called it black because that's what colour it is. And it would be "special" if it were purple, orange, fat, thin, smarter, woollier... it's black. Sheep in the real world can be black. It's a [bleep]ing sheep, not a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
