Taken From Www.RuneScape.Com:

We kick this month off with a very barbaric update. After the creation of the Barbarian Assault minigame, the Baxtorian Barbarians have been investigating several of the local features in the hopes of finding a new challenge for their hairy brethren... and they have not been disappointed. Lying deep beneath the surface they have found the resting place of an old, nearly forgotten, yet strangely familiar foe... the mithril dragon.

This dragon, who is going to weigh in at an impressive level 300, will hold several interesting items in its treasure horde, not least the fabled dragon full helm.

The location of this dungeon is a closely guarded secret, though, so you’ll need to prove yourself worthy to gain access. Construct burial ships, wield new one-handed spears, start fires the old-fashioned way, modify potions and go bare-handed harpoon fishing... then, with a bit of luck, they’ll invite you in.

July also sees another update to the game's audio effects by improving the timing and synchronisation of various sound effects associated with several of the skills and characters. We are also working on improving instrument sounds and a feature which will allow the player to access information about where a song can be unlocked. Keep your ears open for more musical developments later in the month.

Some people might say that the graphical improvements planned this month are a bit quackers, especially when its ducks, birds and terrorbirds that receive the make-over tweetment. Be sure to pop down and coo at their shiny new plumage later this month.

We are making more changes to the Random Events in the game with the removal of specific events and the addition of a new one, this time featuring a dragon headmaster and some monstrous classmates. Let’s hope you do well, or it’ll be the dunces' hat for you.

After the scandal in Sinclair Mansion, little activity has been seen in the area from the rest of the Sinclair brood. Recently, however, some of the family have been seen in the dark corners of RuneScape plotting some kind of revenge... But on whom? Brave adventurers, misguided siblings? Perhaps their greedy minds are drawn back to the fact that Camelot was Sinclair property before their overly-generous father gave it away to those high and mighty knights. No doubt your previous experiences dealing with family affairs will come in handy as you try to solve the problems behind a King's Ransom. Expect high court hijinx and a rather interesting reward for those who accept the challenge.

As mentioned last month, we are continuing to release small changes designed to improve your overall experience of RuneScape. In July we will be launching several more changes including:

• Increasing the maximum number of rooms you can have in your house to 30.
  
• Altering how damage is taken in a player-owned house.
  
• Clarifying what items you keep on death BEFORE you die.
  
• Clarifying what a one-handed duel actually is.
  
• Restricting the opening and closing of doors to stop door spammers.
  
• Changing how kebabs damage health.
  
• Changing the appearance of magic logs.

On the website side of things, this month you'll be getting all the usual goodies, as well as a story about the Barrows for the Lores and Histories section.

Enjoy!

You actually expected them to last when everyone is bitching and whining for more armour? HA.

I like Jagex and their inteligence; they haven't added any new quests since a lot ago.

There was instead lots of improvements, the last important update for me was varrock museum.

They used to add stuff to runescape only once a month if we were lucky back in the day...
So don't complain!
And how was Varrock museum important??
Probably the most useless update in months...

Don't contradict yourself.

On topic: I can't wait for a Mithril Dragon. I wonder if it will share attacks similar to the KBD, or if it will be just like the regular metal dragons. If it's like the regular metal dragons, then they will be a piece of cake (and I'll be camping there for a week or so with adamant bolts).

If they're like the KBD, I'll camp there for a week anyway. I just want some dragon legs

Isn't bitching and whining the same thing? We have third age armour and barrows, I don't see any point to the dragon full helm but whatever. Construction rooms sounds good though.

Ditched that thing around the same time that I ditched the skirt...one year in August.

Not kidding. Those doggone iron/steel dragons have left me high and dry while trying to hunt some Visages. I at *least* want a leg drop so I can be appeased, but will they let me have it?...

Im thinking that the place where the mithril dragons are will be dangerous, multicombat, no teleport, skulled at enter to the place (like abbys) dragons at climb down (like wayasalkies -dagganoth mages- after the 3 rooms), start to die of thrist like on desert and people can be killed by another ppl or get piled no matter what level they have.

Also drained prayed every minute like on barrows and always protect vs magic like on fight cave vs 360's.

lol, I wanna go

I find that highly unlikely. The wilderness doesn't come anywhere near Baxtorian Falls or the lighthouse. Chances are it'll just be a regular dungeon where the strongest monster is the new Mithril Dragons.
