The way we use sound in the free and members' worlds gets its well deserved update this week with the inclusion of Area Sounds. These ambient effects add a new level of immersion into our game world, with waterfalls growing louder as you walk towards them, trees with birds and animal sounds in them, bubbling fountains, wind whistling through the mountains, the sound of the sea lapping against the shore and mysterious howls haunting the peaks of the Wilderness. It really does add a new dimension to the game.

 

As well as new ambient sounds, you'll also notice you can hear a lot more of what other people are doing around you, especially when they're fighting.

 

 

 

We hope you enjoy them as much as we have enjoyed developing them.

 

 

 

In other news...

 

 

 

Along with the area sounds, interface updates and new tutors, we've been busily improving existing features of the game. This week:

 

 

 

 

 

Adventurers who have defeated the terrible Iban and obtained his staff may use its new right-click option to check how many charges it has.

 

Don't forget - it takes one charge to cast Iban Blast on a monster but two to cast it on another player.

 

Baby dragons have now shrunk slightly to solve the problem where their heads rendered incorrectly when they leant forwards. This doesn't affect their stats.

 

Rune and Adamant boots now have a +2 and +1 strength bonus respectively.

 

The random junk you occasionally found in chests and crates around the world has now been removed. Members can still get all those items from sources such as the Trawler, the HAM cave and the Digsite.

Thanks to king_kenny69 for pixx

Rune boots with a +2 str bonus looks like a great add-on. I guess my climbing boots can take a break now.

Alright interface updates at last!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And new stuff!

 

 

 

 

Father Urheny's hut.

 

 

 

AND TUTORS!!

 

 

 

 

 

Ooh, and the new agility shortcut...

 

 

 

 

New Teleport (yeah, I knew I was already in Lumby...)

 

 

 

 

And, the new bank on top of lumby castle! (hmm, thats Mods chat look interesting...)

 

Heh, this water sound is actually quite nice. :

 

 

 

Now for the wind... *gazes longingly at the mountains...*

Who these interfaces look nice!

 

 

 

EDIT: This just owns!

 

 

 

 

 

 

:shock: :shock:

The interfaces look nice except for the skill page. I mean the orange on the grey looks ugly. :\

 

 

 

At last! You can center North on the compass!

BlackSimon if this is going to be the official thread for todays update I suggest you edit in the other 2 pieces of main news.

 

No point in other people making smaller topics for the other ones :

Notice the new teleport!

The emote menu looks awesome, ill post pics ina sec

It's a very decent update on Jagex's part.

 

 

 

=D>

 

 

 

I like how Rune boots will be worth using the armour bonus for again :

Those who longed for making close-up screenis of their chars, have finally got their wish fulfilled!

I like this, now I can turn off the music, but I still can hear interesting sounds. That's awesome man. :twisted:

 

 

 

I'm noticing that I'm the only one talking about the sounds here.

There's a Bank on the top floor of Lummbridge Castle!

 

This will have an immense impact on the way F2p is played!

 

Yay! Wool and Cowhide will be easy to get now! :

I really like these updates...

What?

 

 

 

I don't agree with this. I started Recipe for disaster so I could bank at Lumbridge, but now they are just going to give that to everyone? Why would a castle randomly have a bank?

Ruen boots update... prices will climb to 300k. Bye climbing boots :) .

Lol I love the new teleport. :3>

So with the bank in and tele to lumbridge, does this mean that every player now has a free teleport to a bank? I wonder what the point of the normal lumbridge tele and the recipe from disaster chest are.

I think the teleport should have a limit, once you reach 50 combat you would know RuneScape better and not getting lost all the time, so I think when you reach that combat level the teleport should be useless to you. Whatzja think about that guys?

New teleport does have a 30 minute limit...Rune boots are selling 450k ea in world 2 atm...
