Sylpheed Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 In our final Wild Weekend of May, monkeys are running wild throughout RuneScape. Hunt them down for your exclusive monkey cape! There will also be an invasion of zombie monkeys, so join the Community Team in defeating them for extra spoils! The final Wild Weekend will run from Saturday the 26th up to and including Monday the 28th (GMT) in their entirety. Chase the Monkey! The monkeys of Ardougne Zoo have been curiously observing the penguins and their spying antics. From Saturday to Monday inclusively, if you manage to hunt down 10 monkey escapees who are running wild throughout RuneScape, youll be able to claim an exclusive monkey cape! If youve found all 10 monkeys, head over to Diango in Draynor Market to claim your prize! Zombie Monkey Invasion! The Community Team will be frequently spawning an invasion of zombie monkeys throughout the weekend. If you manage to kill at least 5 on a given day, youll receive an XP lamp for your efforts in fighting back the zombie masses. This is repeatable from Saturday to Monday inclusive, so you can receive up to 3 XP lamps in total. For more information on when and where the Zombies will spawn, check out the following forum post.

Sy_Accursed Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 So basically they are copy-pasting penguin hide and seek with a few graphical tweaks. Meh could be worse.

Well, when stomp the bosses was announced at first the SoF wasnt included, you might have to wait until the weekend start to see if there is no new promos with SoF.

But Stomp the Bosses announcement was not the 'Wild Weekend;' it was an announcement of community events.The wild weekend announcement of double loot had the SoF monkey items in it straight away.

Kaida23 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think this might be one of the better weekend promotions they've come up recently. It's got a hint of playfulness to it, has an award for participating and isn't cramming the SoF down our throats. If I was a member (and not going to Sudbury 'till Monday night), I'd definitely be hunting monkeys this weekend. :thumbup: Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

Sorator Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Eh, interesting idea with the monkey hunt, but I can't say I'm a fan of the monkey theme overall. *shrug* Could be worse, but I still dunno that I'll participate. Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Arcane Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I was kinda hoping for a dungeoneering weekend, double tokens or something :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saradomin_Mage Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 As if the aggravation of hunting penguins once a week wasn't enough. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximusa Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It looks interesting. Its curious how they spawn the monkeys to kill as not like it can function same way as hunting penguins. Doubt it be difficult though so probably be a huge spawning. Probably boxed in certain areas.

D. V. Devnull Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 So mad at Jagex, seeing this... They should have made both this, the items on the SoF, and the double-drops a two-week-long thing. Instead, they pack it into such small weekend time periods that I can't even take advantage of them and therefore get done out of them completely! Hell, pardon me going big type and all caps, but... DAMN JAGEX TO HELL!!! They had better think more before releasing these things in the future, or else... I'm seeing red right now, due to this. :angry: ~Mr. D. V.

Alaz Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (-cries a tear that some people don't like hunting penguins- :???: ) Overall, it is certainly better IMO than the other promotions this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I got the most out of the double runespan point weekend I feel. The rest of the weekends didn't interest me much. Double drops weekend would've been better if I did boss-hunting more than once every other full moon. Overall, mad may wasn't as mad as I had hoped it would be. Glad I didn't purchase membership only because it was mad may. Would've been disappointed if that was the case. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........
