Further to First Post in our discussion board that Andrew started sometime ago, there is now a big poll on Runescape.com about future of Runescape PvP sistem.

Main idea is that around actual "peacefull" kingdoms will be created wilderness where only people ready to evade/fight other players will adventure. Of course this will create rich oportunity for lawfull caravans going in deep wildernes to mine precious minerals. Finaly your hiding skills will have SOME use, who will be strong enough will have a possibility to hunt for real profit and traders will be waiting on return of brave explorers to buy raw materials to make superb new weapons with its skilled hands.

You can alwas read more opinions in first half of First Post thread before discussion lost its guidelines :-)

Whow Andrew was working even on 1st May it only show us that new working class dont have hollidays. He get updated interface and adressed long time problem of item stealing !!!! ..

Due to popular request Andrew have now modified the game so that other players can't steal the items you get when you kill another player or monster.
After killing a monster/player you now have 1 minute to choose the items you want. After 1 minute any remaining items will become available to other players too.

The user interface now indicates the level of hostile monsters, and player-killers when you point at them. This helps you determine if they are safe to attack, or if you should run away!

Andrew also fixed a problem with not being able to send private messages during combat, and not being able to view your inventory whilst talking to game characters.

Tweaked the dialog boxes to hopefully be slightly more responsive on slow computers and fixed a problem which caused the trading window to occasionally crash.

Andrew changed the way the controls work, to make controlling your character in crowded areas much easier.
When you point at the screen, the new system will show the available actions at the top-left of the screen. The action which you are most likely to want to use is shown in yellow, and can be performed by simply clicking with the LEFT mouse button. If you want to use one of the other available actions click with the RIGHT mouse button, and choose from the pop up menu which appears.

The new system also means you can now pick up dropped items in crowded areas so they don't get lost, and also enables you to easily select items out of large stacks without having to pick up the junk you don't want!

He have also added an option to the 'config menu' in the game, which you should select if you only have one mouse button. When enabled it changes the controls slightly so you can access all the features of the game with a single button.

Andrew also made it so you can attack npc's by just left clicking on them, without having to go via the extended menu. This means you can now perform almost all actions in the game with just the left mouse button, and only need the menu for the rarer actions.

Dropping items is now easier, as you no longer have to click on the ground, just select 'drop' from the popup menu and the item will land in your current square.

Whow i stole some time from Andrew to get insight what is comming in near future after he finish some bug fixing.

Silverion: So what is your plans now Clan support or finishing of crafting skills?

Andrew: Plans now are:
-fix some more bugs
-fix smithing table
-more skills, fishing, crafting, etc...
-fix "pile problem" (e.g improve interface)

Silverion: WHOW so smithing tables is comming !!

Silverion do a happy indian dance around his chair

I MUST ask you this .. What is your plan on smithing tables how it will work in future?

Andrew: The smithing table will stay pretty much the same for low level stuff, but high level will be changed.
The minimum level requirement for each metal will still remain the same, but the items within a category will be more sensibly spaced.
so for instance adamantite stuff will range from level 70 to level 99 (rather than being nearly all level 99)
Mithril stuff will probably range from level 55 to level 80 or something like that, possibly even level 55 to level 70, haven't entirely decided yet.

Silverion: How is calculated experience from smithing items? Did mithril one ore item bring more experience then a steel one?

Andrew: Mithril does give more experiance yes, but I don't think it gives enough times more given how much coal it needs, which is why people stick to steel
I'll fix it though

Whow first Runescape utility is born and im specialy glad as it is result of influence AC Tips Forums have on conecting this AC & Runescape two worlds.

What this utility do? Lol it is as he say modified AC explorer with changed map and locations. It is marked interactive map, you can search for words, add your own Places and comments in it.

But best mode to learn about it is to read author introduction and download it

Well, after much effort, I got a lot of the little bugs handled, got every single thing in the game (including Asagarnia) put in with full info, and this is now version 1.0.

It's downloadable at http://members.aol.com/HyuStrider/runescapeexplorer.zip
