The RuneScape Team----------------------------------- Edit: Updated news from 7-26-2012 Last week we announced the launch of our exciting Sizzling Summer event. Every day over the course of August and September, RuneScape members will receive a host of summer goodies, including a total of over 1 million XP, plus 91 additional bonus spins on the Squeal of Fortune. Add to this nine new customisation items, including a five-piece Tropical Islander outfit. All in all this totals up to a value of over $45! Throughout the weekends in August and September, there will be a whole host of community events, and Yelps and Solomon will help celebrate Sizzling Summer on the Squeal of Fortune and the General Store. If that wasn’t enough to get your summer juices flowing, today we announce the sizzling finale: Choose Your Fate! Choose Your Fate is a selection of four of the most powerful rewards ever seen in RuneScape. Members for the entire Sizzling Summer (1st August GMT until 30th September GMT) will be able to choose a total of four of the following rewards:Dodging death – This nifty reward lets you come back from the dead and re-spawn with all your gear still intact and life points fully charged.Emergency healing box – On your last legs? Don’t worry! Anyone who consumes the healing box will be healed instantly and restored to maximum life points. Better still, become a life-saver and use your healing box on your friend or clan member to heal them instead!Instakill dart – You're fighting for your life in the God Wars Dungeon: your health is low, and you've chugged your last Saradomin brew, but your foe isn't letting up. The answer is here. The instakill dart will kill whatever target you face with one almighty hit!Remote deposit box – Stuck in the middle of nowhere and need to empty your backpack quickly? Use your remote deposit box and - voila! - for 5 minutes, any player can use the deposit box to send items back to their bank.Choose wisely - these items can only be used once and will expire on 31st December 2012. The only way to get your hands on these elite items is by being a member for the whole of August and September. These items will never be available through Solomon’s General Store or the Squeal of Fortune and will be non-tradable. With the exception of the remote deposit box, they cannot be used during PvP. Which items will you choose? One of each item, a mix, or four of the same one? The choice is yours! Make sure you don’t miss out on the million XP, bonus spins, awesome outfits and Choose your Fate rewards by becoming a member now!The RuneScape Team Edited July 26, 2012 by Ashoke No snowflake in an avalanche ever felt responsible.

Hajutze Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Haven't played for probably an year, I was waiting for the new combat but meh .. free 99 prayer, summoning and slayer is welcomed. I might as well subscribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc3399 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I suppose reading it over again, that powerful item could mean anything, it may not be combat related. I still very much dislike the fact that there are items involved at all. But depending on what said items are it may not be that bad.

Ashoke Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Also, this "Choose Your Fate" thing really scares me... This better not be any type of weapon or armour...Stick to cosmetics!

Alg Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So it's like Mad May, but in summer (And a little bit of fall)? And with something unnecessarily cryptic at the end? Really, who came up with the "Choose your fate" section and how much are they getting paid? Because it's probably too much. 6 I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MageUK Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Haven't played for probably an year, I was waiting for the new combat but meh .. free 99 prayer, summoning and slayer is welcomed. I might as well subscribe. I think you're misreading the post? Unless you're 350k away from each of those 99s. It's 350k exp at the end of August, then 700k exp at the end of September if you were subscribed the whole time. The only "every day" things are the 2 extra spins.

Octarine Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've always been hopeful that the Jagex rwt thing would never decend into non-cosmetic items.. But giving you one of four powerful items FOR FREE just shouts that they'd all be available for sale aswell. I mean why else would they give you it for free.. Edit: Actually it doesn't even say for free in that does it. I don't have a great feeling about this :( Blog of DG, Bossing (mostly Glacors) and stuff - Runetrack Play Safe! - Got useful information for the tip.it website? Post here!

Cheefoo Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The last tidbit of info worries me. But besides that, I don't mind free XP and spins. Free customize items sounds neat-o. 1 [spoiler=I LOVE MY STATION] 01001001001001110110110100100000010101000111011101100101011011000111011001100101001000000110000101101110011001000010000001110111011010000110000101110100001000000110100101110011001000000111010001101000011010010111001100111111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have known this would piss off a lot of people and holding out on it is only going to let the anger build. Probably the opposite actually, they're hinting at this now in hope that giving the players time, they'll 'come around' to the idea. The Exp thing could be handy, although couldn't that be seen as RWT in a way? Pay for membership and we'll give you 'free' exp - Basically pay for exp?

Jonanananas Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It says a "chance" at 1 of the 4....so maybe they justify giving out powerful items by just giving them to a few lucky people? O_o I sincerely hope I'm wrong with this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashoke Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 They haven't exactly said how the Xp will be given. It may be instant, it may be another Mad May Necklace-type thing. No snowflake in an avalanche ever felt responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
