Can't be assed to screenshot it now but it's in there somewhere. Mod Ash more or less confirmed that they plan to release Dung batch 2 next month as he said they plan to release it before Runefest which is on August 28th.

 

He also said he wasnt 100% sure. :P

 

Summary I made since they are done now:

[hide]Mod John A is working on the next Red Axe Quest.

Trolls will be involved in this quest.

Will maybe be done at the end of the year or early next year.

The current plan is for all troll graphics to get updated with the next dwarf quest.

 

Mod Fnord is working on a quest featuring a signature hero, but he's waiting for the graphics team before he can finish.

Later it is mentioned that a signature hero quest with the white knight hero and the quest being called "Tomb Raider".

It is also said you need to break the white knight hero out of jail.

 

Eastern Lands wont come out untill the current continent is finished.

Kudo's island is too big of a graphic project at the moment.

The Next Myreque Quest is being worked on currently.

Not 100% sure, but it doesnt look like its coming in 2010.

 

Mod Maz is working on a Dev Diary related update. We know this though, its the Elite Diaries.

 

No plans to reveal the thingummywhat as of this date.

 

The thing under Wise Old Man's bed was actually supposed to be a goblin. Mod Ash knows it looks nothing like one though.

 

There currently is no work being done on:

- Kudo's Island

- The Cursed Archipelago

- Castle Drakan

 

Double EXP weekend doesnt have a date yet. (Duh)

 

There is an activity being worked on which will be out this year. (We know this, its from the Void Knight Quests)

 

Mod Ash: "Mind you, I loved the video trailer for the Void Knight quest. I'd have liked one of those for Love Story."

There wasnt a video trailer for the void knight quest, might be refering to the dungeoneering one though.

 

Mod John A drinks too much coffee.

Mod Ash drinks Hot Earl Gray tea with milk and no sugar.

 

Mod Ash says they want Dungeoneering Batch 2 out before RuneFest, he could be wrong about that though.

 

Gnome chatheads were started to get updated, but the graphic dev's got moved over to dungeoneering.

They want to update tree's but havent had time.

 

More fashion clothes and costumes for girls coming soon.

 

Monkey Madness 2 is not being worked on.[/hide]

I wrote it down as I read, you just need to keep an eye out as sometimes the hidden stuff is mixed in with loads of unimportant stuff. :P

 

Keep in mind that those points were taken out of 11 rsof pages worth of posts.

Den thats why lazy people like me wait until not lazy people like you post on tif :shades:

We're more than that, we're totally freaking [bleep]ed.

 

Dylan started the EW series too, a simple look at the relase of EW Part 1 shows this, so actually, we were bleeped from the beginning. He's been one of the major quest developers, but resigned years ago (which is why we didn't get any "real" Elven quests/EW quests), but came back this year I guess and provided us with already 2 quests (Within the Light and EW3).

EDIT: sorry, Chris L did Within the Light, as the quest production had already begun when Dylan came back.

 

Also, there do is a video for Quiet before the Swarm, it's simply not working. The video is supposed to be shown in the news post of the the quest on the main page. But all we can see is a greyish box which requires Flash Player.

 

Lastly, the quest with the signature hero is "Tome Raider". :P

What really annoys me is that Dungeoneering is diverting the graphics guys, so much-needed graphical updates like trees and gnomes are being delayed..

[HunterDexter]

Yeah, don't forget the dwarves too, they were planned to be updated with Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf, only update to them at this moment are the chatheads. But hey, in the meantime, we can colour our whips, dark bows, rune guardians and get dungeoneering-clonesque CW armour...

Yeah, I reckon that Jagex has far too many ideas and not enough people to develop them with. I really want them to do the Eastern Lands now, it's pretty much 'Runescape: Chapter 2', and the game will feel much fresher for it.

[Obtaurian]

I cringe every time I look at dwarves, gnomes, or trolls.

[demby123]

I cringe every time I look at dwarves, gnomes, or trolls.

I cringe every time I look at new gnomes that don't look like gnomes at all.

[xxshady]

I cringe every time I look at new gnomes that don't look like gnomes at all.

 

Gnomes look like whatever Jagex wants them to look like. There's no such thing as a universal gnome archetype.

 

Lemme guess, the new D Scimmy doesn't look like a D Scimmy :rolleyes:

 

I cringe every time I look at dwarves, gnomes, or trolls.

 

Agreed, I really hope Jagex gets around to updating them this year...

[Den]

I cringe every time I look at dwarves, gnomes, or trolls.

 

Amen.

 

The new chatheads look nice and all, but it just feels odd how the chat head is new and the body itself is so... old.
