Please do remove clues from the wild then... :D

 

Clues made you go into the old wild with its pkers, they shouldn't change that although they probably will to "protect" new/younger players. <_<

Old wild indeed, you couldn't get one hit killed by some dude with D claws or AGS...

 

If you're getting one hit then you're doing something wrong...

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.

I don't think they've had it planned for *that* long. I'm sure they started looking at it a while before the first vote tally, but assuming they saved the code (I can't imagine why they wouldn't), a couple months is more than enough time to merge it with content released after its removal. Also, free trade is relatively straightforward to implement compared to the wilderness, so I don't believe it was as big of a project as a lot of you think. I can even imagine some trolls asking why it takes two weeks if they're just reverting to old code, but the truth is it will be extremely buggy either way. I almost don't want to go into the wilderness for a couple months after it comes back so they can sort out all the compatibility issues they'llve missed in QA.

I'm sure they've been trying to find a way to bring back it back since 2007 when it was first removed, much like Player Owned Houses there is a long path from inception, getting the systems to work, and actually implementing them.

 

I'm not saying they knew it would happen from the beginning, I'm just making the observation that they've probably been trying to reverse it ever since implementation.

I'm not sure that they wanted to bring it back since the beginning. Once they made the decision to remove it they seemed pretty committed.

 

But, it is obvious that they did plan on restoring it well before the "poll" ever got released.

I'ma be staying away from this for at least a month after they get it right... No sense risking things needlessly.

99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me!

They were committed, and they even said at the time it was because their other options were not viable at the time, and that they would work to fix the implementation as time progressed.

 

Again, I'm thinking this was like Player Owned Houses. The idea may have changed, but the basics were there from the beginning until the infrastructure could accommodate.

Now now, it is a very anticipated update. As 1 in 10 people are illiterate, that leaves a good 600,000 active Runescape members (estimated) that cannot read the front page.

It's just to wait until the 1:st of February then. I knew it wouldn't take until March, but that they would take them just 2 weeks...That's very quick for such a big update.

Time to get ready :)

TBH; I'm looking forward to poke holes in teh answers of the QnA :D

 

"Always check the second trade window!"

"A bank pin keeps your items secure!"

"Never trade in the wilderness!"

 

*insert other bob shirt quotes*

From the empty days of hope, deny the darkness
Follow my voice, we'll run far away from here

If only to hide, to escape this life
And live forever, forever in the sun
