New Poll - How much you wish to pay? » 

This is really a big change in our life's i will try to explain you why Andrew was geting to such extreme move.

First as you all probably have seen Runescape popularity is exploding over any prevision I have seen it at over 6.000 players online and all this have BIG costs, that until now andrew tryed to cover from advertising. But unfortunatly as we all have seen advertising revenues are going down drasticly and his expenses go up very step. As it is now population of game is BIGGER then Asheron's Call or Everquest population for server !!! And that are paying games wich you have to BUY a game AND you PAY to PLAY what is BIG difference. Unfortunatly Andrew was unable to find a BIG enough sponsor and now only way that he have is or TO CLOSE or to go in pay for play model. If this will be sucessful he will be able to get more people to help making new lands and soon we will have much more lands and tools and from this will benefit even free version of game.

You can as alwas discuss this in TIPS boards where i just find one IRC log with Andrew thanks go to Lord Stone for posting it.

Now lets talk about polls, it looks like over 50% people like battle axes, and this is even as Rune battle axes are not availible in game for now !!

Further to last changes i added a new poll to hear your opinion how much are you willing to pay for play Runescape. You can as always vote from right menu ;-).

Premium Runescape service coming soon !! » 

Due to much demand we are planning on launching a new premium RuneScape service soon. This will bring a whole load of great benefits such as: frequent updates, NO-adverts, good customer support, no scammers/cheaters (we'll kick 'em out), and much more! We're hoping to make it available for just $5 a month, and this tiny amount of money will pay for many great RuneScape updates to come, and will ensure we can keep running RuneScape for YOU.
This is great news, because it will enable us to offer you more frequent RuneScape updates. Some of the first updates we have planned include: A duelling system, more monsters (wolf, giant-bat, lizard-man etc..), lots of new items, sound effects, more quests, and there will be loads more stuff after this.

We hope that many people will be able to afford the very small amount we are asking, if you really really can't afford to pay then don't worry, because there will still be a FREE RuneScape service available. Obviously since this service will be offered for free, we won't be able to keep offering regular updates to non-paying members. In actual fact running the free service will cost us a lot of money but we want to thank all the people who have helped us beta-test the game so far, and so will try keep it going as long as possible.

Thanks for all your support.
Andrew Gower

Andrew Gower is considering ways of paying for the service at the moment. I let you know more when he has decided on this.

    I didn't mean to put that in quite yet.

    It's something I'm working on, but it's not quite finished, hopefully it will be soon
    As we know it will give a player possibility to fight each other even out of wilderness, it will start ONLY if both players wish to fight and they will probably have a posibility to select type of dual too.. (to death, lost of ALL items, no lost of items etc..) remember this is only summary of rumors i heared until now.

  • New poll -- what is your favorite weapon. » 

    Whow there was many people sending us emails about different polls and even if I was temped to add one about dragon quest i think it is still a little bit early as many people don't finished it.

    So take a look at left menu where you can see a new poll thanks to David, Bently, Warrior_5, Sam Thng, Piebear, Lancius_1, Soccer Freak, Exaptor and King Authur

    What is your favorite weapon?


    So what is your favorite weapon in PK and Monster hunting, Long range bows, or magic, Heavy hitters like battle axe or 2-H swords, better defence wielding shield with Long sword or scimitar, or some weapon of stile even if it is not so usefull like mace, hatchet, dagger ....

    Ok i meantime i also updated Quest page - Dragon Hints.. with more info about reward and also i think that hints are now a little bit more usefull. I have to note that we decided to not post a step by step walkthrough for some time as this quest is easy and in place of this we post some hints.

    Before i forgot ... you can take a look at new TIP TEST board and make your own polls, look at new Theme "sunSilver" that i posted as default theme as it look so nice... So still there is a fey more bags before we will change it to our main board ...

    DRAGON QUEST relased 10 min ago !! » 

    As servers go down i get overhelmed with questions and also our server nearly creashed .... and now we know DRAGON is iN !!!



    This is official news from Andrew
    23rd-September - Dragon quest online!
    Think you've got what it takes to slay a dragon? If so try our new quest!

    This quest has been designed with the more experienced runescape players in mind so it's fairly tricky. To start the quest go and talk to the guildmaster in the champions guild. From there you will have to solve a series of puzzles before travelling to slay the dragon itself. Only heros who have proven themselves worthy by completing this quest can purchase and wear the best armour in the game. The new rune platemail body!


    Ehehe so ultimate armour is in game, and there is many questions floating around ...

    Who will be a first to earn it? who will have 65.000 gold to pay it? ... who will submit best screenshot, stats, hints ...

    Dragon Quest so soon !! » 

    Andrew made a post on the boards, in this thread:
    http://runescape.com/genthread-t3953.html talking about the Dragon Quest. Here's what he said:

    Andrew
    22:07 (22-Sep)

    The dragon quest was delayed because our
    broken server took longer to get fixed that we thought,
    which has been causing all sorts of problems.

    It has now been repaired and seems to be working. Which
    is why the classic games just came back online.

    If it's still running tommorow (sunday) without
    breaking again then I will upload the dragon quest
    tommorow afternoon

    Andrew
    Thanks Monitorman for this great info ... i wish to remember all that who resolve a dragon quest will get a greatest of all armours a rune plate !!! and some "minor" loot....

    Nameserver problems with RS server .... » 

    I dont know what is a problem with runescape.com but we are reciving 3 - 4 emails a day that people cannot connect.

    Problems are probably caused as RS server IP changed frequently this last days and many nameservers are very slow to update its tables. Many are asking what is a name server it is a service that you use when you are looking to translate domain name like runescape.com in its IP number, like today RS IP 66.28.11.51. If your computer cannot get working IP number it simply cannot connect.

    There is also some programs (specialy this for making faster your connection) that change hosts file in your windows directory and add line like this,

    runescape.com xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

    If you have this line in your hosts file you can try to delete it or update it with new IP. (use simple texteditor)

    To find new IP on windows you can run from dos window or command line when internet conection is active this command..

    tracert runescape.com

    then you wil see someting like this

    tracing route to runescape.com [66.28.11.51] ...
    ...
    ...


    This number in bracets is new IP number of RS server and if it is wrong you cannot connect to game.

    But before trying all this you can try to download client from, at last today working, link ---> DOWNLOAD NEW CLIENT

    You can discuss all this in this thread on our TEST board ---> Discuss this problem & solutions

    Will you use Menaphos to train your skills?
