01-Mar-2007Behind the Scenes - March

First up in March comes an exciting update to the way that the in-game music works. Soon, you'll all be able to hear the melodic strains of 'All's Fairy in Love and War', 'Romancing the Crone' and all the other songs exactly as the musicians intended, as well as toggling the log-in screen's music. This will also improve compatibility, so the music should work on many more systems once this is released.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The monks of Harmony Island have recently lost their piece of mind, as those dastardly pirates of not-really-alive persuasion attempt to take over their island. Brother Tranquility has managed to get away, though, and will be looking for help. You'll need to be ready for knockout gas and a boat-load of dodgy doctors, but who could refuse to help the monks victimised in the Great Brain Robbery? As always, those pesky pirates are bound to throw a holy spanner into the works, so be prepared to fight off some nasties and wield a new maul-esque weapon with its own special attack! Yarrr! Avast! The quest itself will also feature a brand new island with some really fantastic new pirates and animations̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ arrrr, that it will be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Followers of the Morytanian struggle will notice a new route opening up in March. The Temple Trekking service, in which you escort desperate NPCs to the relative safety of Paterdomus, will be expanding to include a return journey. This means that you will be able to escort folk back and forth across the fetid vampire-infested lands, picking up your rewards from the Burgh de Rott bank. New routes also mean new perils and new dangers, especially regarding the 'nail beast', who will no doubt be of interest to our potion-making community.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cave goblins that you've helped out so much in the past are ready to return the favour this month, as the Council is finally going to open the gates wide. Dorgesh-Kaan is a remarkable city filled with all the technology of the Dorgeshuun... and a new Agility course with sizeable rewards for the highly agile. Of course, Dorgesh-Kaan is a fully-fledged city, so there will be much more to it: from a marketplace to sell your intriguing surface food, to a Dorgeshuun inventor experimenting with Magic for the first time, and much more besides. There's even a new Slayer spot just beyond the city, where a strange beast lives - it's a cross between a mole and a basilisk, and a weird-looking beastie it is, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few of the more domestic animals get their makeovers this month, with a few tweaks to make them more attractive to the farmers that look at them every day. Cows, chickens and rabbits may not be the most impressive of creatures, nor the most majestic, but they lie at the core of any farmer's stomach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, you'll have the opportunity to look into the dark heart of old Varrock, digging holes into ancient caverns best left undisturbed. What Lies Below the city? What foul plots are afoot? Do you have what it takes to join the Varrock Palace Secret Guard? Don't expect a simple story in this quest, for the conspiracies and plans of wicked men are rarely transparent... though there will be Runecrafting rewards for anyone that can translate them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you know, we are committed to redesigning anything that needs improving, and this isn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t restricted to the graphics alone. As such, this month we will bring you the newly improved Fishing Trawler. Players familiar with this content may have noted that the fishing nets didn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t necessarily catch that many fish. Well, Murphy has been working on a far more efficient way of doing things and he tells us that the rewards will increase dramatically once he's had a chance to fit the new nets̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ so you̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll be certain to see more sea turtles and manta rays gracing your local firepit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not only have we been beavering away behind the scenes to bring you more letters, pictures and QuestHelps, but we have also been tweaking the way the polls work. Player feedback is very important to us and although we do spend time reading the forums, you can̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t all post at the same time̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ but in a poll, you can! Members: please make sure you fill in the polls. It̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s your chance to let us know what you want!

oops

Sounds like blood crafting/Soul :o

well today at 11:30 am 14 years ago i was born.. wo0t!!!
At 11:30 you should start holding your head underwater wo0t!!!
Stop acting such a moron.

Sounds to me like blood/soul runecrafting, and perhaps the agility course that will be better than the wilderness or ape atoll ones (FTW)

There's cake through here, apparently.

I'm gonna love this month. Better music, new agility-course...I love March!

Owner of Quest Cape since 11/9/2007 23:30! Working my butt off to get it back.

Sounds good. They finally figured out the trawler needed work(only took them a few years... :roll: )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17 months with no Tzhaar update, oh come on...

I hope it will turn out nice.

Blood Runecrafting... *drools...*

Wow go Jagex! Very nice updates on my birthday month <3:

Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

Sounds to me like blood/soul runecrafting, and perhaps the agility course that will be better than the wilderness or ape atoll ones (FTW)
well its does say for the highly agile... but what does Jagex consider high? Lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RC and agility updates are the most interesting IMO

I think the RuneCrafting/Music update was great. But somehow this March update doesn't seem completely filling.

Training my pure!

if it is blood/ soul crafting does that open the door for more RC pkers? I say that bc if it is blood/soul more people might start RCing which would make it easier for those pesky wannabe pkers to steal your glories

Meh a sound update. I don't use sound (I honestly don't know what the sounds in RS are like) so pretty useless for me. New city and quest seems fun. Trawler is boring so not a lot of use for me there. Oh well... perhaps when I need some of those fish for charging my lyre...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've seen more exciting months, but it's not bad.

good thanks

im looking forward to the dorgeshuun city finnaly coming out :)

I hope the new agility course is not going to give too much exp... :ohnoes:

This month sounds absolutely fantastic to me! Might be time to start thinking about getting more phone credit again soon... :-k

Blood and soul runecrafting? Hmm, gotta train my RC then :P

99 ranged | 99 magic | 99 defence | 99 hitpoints

Remember, it's just a game

Feel free to add me on RS. :) Always ready for a chat.
