Before the RS Update, a few RW things:

In recent times Catatifish has outdone himself in odd bouts of coding when he appears a few times a month. This chain of events repeated when he turned up and gave us some awe inspiring animated NPC's.

We have a whole host of these dandy little things, and along with various revisions to all guides, you can see some of these in our guides. Hopefully one day this will be released to the public...

Also see the inspiring Sorceresses' Garden Guide!

Oh and yes there was a Runescape update today.

Taken from www.runescape.com:

This week we are pleased to announce the long-awaited release of Clan Chat for RuneScape. Now, both Members and Free Players can have their very own channel for chatting to friends and talking as a group, and can even assign each other ranks. Players can setup and name their channel and, once up and running, other players can join in the fun. Joining someone's channel is as simple as typing their username in!

Like private chat, Clan Chat works whether you and your friends are on the same game world or all spread across many different worlds. The new Clan Chat interface can be accessed by clicking on the two smiley faces at the bottom-left of your in-game controls.

To get a proper understanding of the Clan Chat system, we advise you to read the Knowledge Base article here.

You may well notice, in addition to the Clan Chat, that the interfaces have had a tidy up. The dwarves of Keldagrim have produced a fine new tablet in place of the chat scroll, there are more chat filters at the bottom of the screen, and the general controls have been improved, making your day-to-day RuneScaping that much smoother and easier to look at.

In other news...

The King's Ransom music was playing correctly but not turning green when it was unlocked. This has been rectified.

Various items and objects which were previously causing graphical glitches or looking a little bit funny have been adjusted. This includes gems, food and several bits of armour and clothing that were being affected by each other.

The Items Kept on Death interface has been adjusted and should now be clearer as to what you'll keep and lose at that particular moment.

The price of cloth from the sawmill in Varrock has been adjusted so the price doesn't vary. For the last couple of weeks, when buying several pieces, the price was fluctuating more than intended.

Players can no longer get stuck at the end of the Fishing Trawler minigame. Abandon ship!

Clan Chat is only helpful if you are in a PKing clan. For fansites and skilling clans, this would not be a valid replacement for IRC at all. Period.

Just to let everyone know, RuneWeb does not and has no plans to ever incorporate Clan Chat into its fansite.

Join my clan chat, its always open, but beware: if you are not nice dilbert is general and he can kick you out. Also I have other friends there, sorry if I can't assing you a rank, my rank list is full.

-----------------

The quick access is F7 then join chat and write 'cafebcs'
For start to talk use the slash: /hello /hi on general chat.

My setup for the clan chat (alternative)

* General: All friends that are player moderator also.
* Captain: My rs girlfriend and my str pure account.
* Litenuant: Friends with 1700+ level (some are general)
* Sargent: My rs brother and sisters (some are litenuant)
* Corporal: Rest of the family (some are litenuant)
* Not in Clan: Friends that are on my 100 non-member limit list.

- I had the kick power for litenuant+ but someone started to kick friends (power abuse) and had to change to captain+ (suggest do same)

- The kick is for a whole hour (60 minutes) maybe a bit more (90).

- Anyone can join my chat and anyone can talk but beware...

EDIT: 'Not in Clan' adds a nice smiley icon (better than recruit one)

The long anticipated Clan Chat is finally here. I think it is pretty good but could be better. It would be nice to be able to talk in a few chats simultaneously. It would also be nice to be able to see what channels your friends are currently in. A list of the 100 top open chats may be good as well.

I also like the new interfaces they updated. Looks a lot better imo and it's great that the chat is bigger (can see 8 lines of chat now instead of 5).

As Makoto said it is useful in Pking clans, it mkaes its slightly easier i suppose as the talk isnt seen by everyone and is easier than dilly dallying to the friends list.

They need enter to your username like with houses. The name of chat is just for show at first of every line.

Im ex-member (I will renew until October or January)

My suggestion is add on the private menu 'private clan' between private friends and private off.

If a friend is on the chat he will be able of private message (and see if you are online) but not the others friends that aren't on clan chat.

In houses, if 'private clan' is selected, only the ones on clan chat will be able of enter at house.

=)
