Today sees the release of a myriad of much-requested technical updates that’ll streamline your RuneScape experience.

 

The RuneScape chat system has served us well, but it’s high time for an overhaul. The old, familiar chat box has been reworked in order to bring you a range of new features:

 

- All messages, no matter the source, will now automatically wrap if they’re too long.

- This also means that you can type longer messages. The entry line of the chat box will scroll left and right with the cursor.

- Private messages are now entered into the chat box, just like public messages.

- You no longer need to enter multiple forward slashes to denote a message as a friends’ chat message or a clan chat message. It is now possible to move between persistent chat modes by entering one of the following codes and pressing Enter or Space:

• 
  */p – Public chat
  */f – Friends chat
  */c – Clan chat
  */g – Guest clan chat
  

Visit the manual for full details of the newly revamped chat box.

 

It is now possible to control the camera by holding down your middle mouse button or mouse wheel; rotating through a full 360 degrees of motion and pitching in and out by simply moving the mouse. Traverse and admire Gielinor with seamless ease!

 

A new button has been added to the “Options” menu entitled “Adventurer’s log settings”. This allows you to select which categories of in-game activity you wish to display on your adventurer’s log and which you would rather keep to yourself.

 

The Wise Old Man’s no stickler for the obsolete trappings of yesteryear and readily embraces new innovations as he helps players to maintain an uncluttered storage area. His service of scanning banks for unneeded quest items from all free-to-play quests, as well as selected members’ quests, is now performed through a slick, tidy new interface.

 

RuneScape looks and feels better than ever before, but your feedback is essential in our continued efforts to improve the game. If there’s a new feature you’d like to see implemented, please post it in our /l=0/sl=0/[Please Use QuickFind Code]?185,186]suggestions forum.

A shame that I have already completed that minigame 100%, couldn't they have done it earlier lol...

New ranged sounds :D

 

Also interested in what the new particles look like on comp cape. Guna make me even more jelly :(

Can't say about the chat/camera yet, but the other things are good. I'm wondering if the 'An option to give it the functions of a spirit cape' means you have to buy a spirit cape and merge it or something.

And of course the nature rune update:

Yesterday we made a small but necessary update to the high alchemy value of nature runes. The price of the nature runes was at a level where it was possible to buy them and alch them for a profit. This obviously had an impact on other items you would commonly alch for a profit and meant that as soon as you reached level 55 in Magic you could buy a few nature runes, alch them and then use the profits to buy more.

 

Effectively this meant that you could level all the way up to 200 million XP in magic for no cost (in fact for a profit) which is not how the skill is intended to work.

 

To maintain the value of having level 99 magic and the value of commonly alched items (such as Yew longbows or Mithril platebodies) we felt this quick solution was necessary.

 

Thanks,

 

Mat

Don't forget about the nature runes and how Jagex have changed the alch value :x

 

That was changed awhile ago wasn't it?

I think they changed it yesterday, h8te.

 

I like this /p and /f stuff!

Tune Baneore is now required to wear the completionist cape? What does that mean?

Ahh ok, not sure havent payed attention to that stuff, but yeah the /p /f /c stuff is very nice

The alch price of nats was the only thing keeping nats above 100 gp. Now it's gonna plummet

I have tried to remove junk from my bank with the Wise Old Man but if I click the accept button nothing happens. That happening to anyone else?

Haha anyone see rc becoming a money sink skill soon?? no real money in getting 91 anymore :/

Right click name, select which chat you wanna talk in

It's baws

Well I, for one, am looking forward to the wrap around text featrure ... :thumbsup:

My favorite part of this is that chat now will wrap to a second line. For someone like myself who prefers typing in complete sentences, it was always a hassle to have to retype the last section of a sentence after discovering too late it was too long to fit on a single line.

Bleh at the nature rune thing, just when I stocked up.

Oh well. I wonder at what price they will stabilize.

Though they still have a character limit so you can only type half of the second line /fail

Any pictures of new comp cape particles?

"from any source"

So now we'll be spammed for multiple lines at a time ?

Wouldn't a lower nature rune price, create lower prices for the commonly alched items?

Shoudln't alched items rise to fill the new gap? Their alch value remains constant.

they do, and nature runes will crash hard.
