4 January 2006 - Behind the Scenes - January

Featured Replies

The month of January will include several amazing updates, most with a very strong desert theme.

 

 

 

We kick off the New Year with the introduction of the Mage Training Arena. Over the last few years, many wizards have come to an unfortunate end because of a lack of training in the less aggressive spells. Too many royal vases have been smashed from a badly directed telegrab or alchemy spell, and the Wizards' towers have received one too many insurance claims. In response to this they have unearthed an old deserted building thought lost to the Kharidian sands forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Several games can be played there, all with the intention of learning the finer arts of magic. Do well, and collect some unique robes and even talking merchandise! This update is one of the most beautiful updates we have had in a long time and should not be missed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later this month we see the addition of another agility course, but this time in the sands near to Menaphos. Rumours of a glint of gold sparkling on its pinnacle are unsubstantiated, but the appearance of a local archeologist has helped the rumour spread. This course is aimed at mid-level athletes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Burthorpe games room has finally opened its doors to some more games! Later this month you will be able to go and play Runeversi and Squares as well as competing at the current Draughts and Runelink games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Squares is an old game played between the Duke of Lumbridge and King Roald of Varrock back in their maths lessons when they were children. It's based around the simple principle of putting lines down on a board, scoring points when you complete a 'square', but tactics and logic play a big part.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More random events will also enter the game this month, with visits from a friendly sandwich lady and Prison Pete. Help sort out baguettes and pop balloon animals soon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two quests this month develop more of the desert gods' storylines and answer the age old question ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ where does all the sand in the sand pits come from? Who brings it there? Help Bert the sandpit worker come to terms with a strange discovery as you take on the challenge of The Hand in the Sand. Be careful though, or the puns might just kill you. Dust off that chisel and hammer as you attempt to make statues...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also this month look out for more readers' letters, one brand new slayer monster for mid-level characters and some new fillings for your baked potatoes!

Still no Carpentry or PMH then..

 

 

 

Mage update wud be cool tho :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im glad about the desert gods thing tho, there is too much speculation n if wud be cool to have it cleared up :)

A series of unfortunate events.......

pretty ok month coming up :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not looking forward anything specifically though.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either

a fool or a coward.

 

Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law

is both.

 

For a wounded man shall say to his assailant:

"If I live, I will kill you, If I Die, you are forgiven."

 

Such is the Rule of Honor.

hmm sounds like an alright month

Cool more games... you know... I'm not sure if it was my suggestion or not that gave jagex the idea or if they were already thinking about doing it, but I remember back on the old official board days I suggested to have the other jagex games available for play ingame.

Huh, hope the mage thing is worth it, i sure hope so! We'll see in a few hours anyway.

 

 

 

P.S. Why are people still using the smilies if they're censored?

Old habits die hard ? :D :) :( :o :shock: :? 8) :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who knows?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mage update is something that interests me the most out of the listed ones, and I dare say that I hope it is the one that will be released first in the month.

Pretty sure it will be since Jagex said this:

 

 

 

We kick off the New Year with the introduction of the Mage Training Arena.

I think the mage update will be the first, as it looks like a big update. Big update needs normally more testing then small updates, and the mod who said the chrismas things will be removed today, gave as reason that the testing for the update wasnt ready. =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new random events sounds also interesting =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And it gives some hope for f2p, because untill now the most new randow events where also for f2p. (yes, I know, not all)

 

 

 

(And please stay ontopic this time and dont flame me with the very old "f2p deserve nothing coz they pay nothing. I know that.)

Some people dream of success, while others make it happen.

Lol, i wondered what the hell all those 'Smile' 'Wink' things were!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Censoring smilies? What a miserable thing to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Ok, just read the reason. How about we just leave the images, and let the people using IE die? Natural selection ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

o/t Hope the new mage update gives me another interesting way to train up my mage, been looking for one of those. Hope the robes are decent too :)

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn

"Come in'', she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
