Toad Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Christmas time has come round again and the Queen of Snow has invited guests to her realm for one of her legendary Christmas feasts, and perhaps a snowball fight or two. Hop into one of the Christmas cupboards in Varrock, Falador or Draynor to join in the festivities along with Santa Claus, Jack Frost, and an entourage of guests from across RuneScape. Hard as it may be to believe, not everyone in the Land of Snow is full of Christmas cheer. The Queen of Snows neighbour, Ebenezer Scourge, isnt known for his goodwill or for his love of a good party, but thats nothing to worry about. Nothings going to go wrong. Im quite sure that this year well have a quiet Christmas. Im almost certain that therell be no kidnapping, ghosts of Christmas past, magical curses or vigilante snow imps. Adventurers with the impish cunning to see this one through will be richly rewarded with a dramatic new emote, a fiendish costume, and not to mention a tasty-looking and festive wieldable item. Merry Christmas from all of the RuneScape team! Mod EdamRuneScape Content Developer In other news... Weve enabled a new graphical feature called 'particles' in the game engine. Youll most likely notice our first use of particles during the Christmas event. Use of particles can be set to high, medium or low in the Graphics Options menu. Players with older versions of Java might not be able to experience the effects to their full potential. If this is the case, you may not be able see the snow particles or change this detail setting. http://www.runescape.com/c=gNSJSoUdqBA/kbase/guid/christmas_2009 :) Four more wallpapers can be found in the Downloads section, featuring Tz-Tok Jad, the Corporeal Beast, a tormented demon and a balance elemental. This comes with a new Players' Gallery full of great player-created artwork for you to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

Laikrob Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Aren't you.... fast? Can't wait to do this one, and of course the person I planned to do the update with is away. Carp and salmon! -.- Oh well, I'll be fishing while, and hopefully enjoying snow. Warm lovely snow. You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaida23 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Woot! Can't wait! Unfortunately, I promised my son he could watch me go through it Wednesday morning when I'm off work... Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBDavid Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I guess the particles are good for being rendered in a browser through Java. Is it just me or is every update becomming more childish.

Pinkbullet3 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Can't wait to do it. Feels refreshing to get back on RS after my computer broke down 2 weeks ago.
