My apologies for missing these 2 updates from Jagex. All are taken from www.runescape.com

16 October 2007 - LootShare
This week we have added an extra feature to the Clan Chat system: LootShare! By switching this option on, all monster drops and rewards will be fairly shared between the clan members fighting with you. LootShare even remembers if you were unlucky enough to receive nothing in a battle, increasing your chance of being lucky next time!

Because it is based on the existing Clan Chat system, setting up a group is simple. To activate it, turn on the LootShare option on your Clan Chat menu. You can organise yourselves into a LootShare clan beforehand, or you can invite people to join your chat channel in any multiway area. Once organised, you can chat to your friends using the Clan Chat system and work out tactics for defeating any brutish beasties!

The Clan Chat owner can set the minimum rank for anyone wishing to LootShare in a multiway combat area.

After two minutes, LootShare will become activated and you will be included in the sharing of the monster drops. As long as you are within 16 squares of the defeated creature, you will be considered for LootShare!

To get a better understanding of the LootShare system, we advise you to read the Knowledge Base article,

22 October 2007 - Hallowe'en Event - For ALL Players!
This year's spooky event has arrived! A few months ago we posted a Guaranteed Content Poll on the website allowing you to choose the nature of the Hallowe'en event and the rewards you'd get. After working our fingers to the bone we've made something to meet all of your wishes!

The Grim Reaper has opened up his house for this special occasion. His previous servant has taken a turn for the worse and the Reaper has applied for a new assistant to help with his household chores. Now, when we say 'household chores', don't go expecting to be polishing furniture, ironing or mopping the floor - you'll be clambering through a maze of cobwebs, avoiding traps, wading through goo and trying to avoid getting eaten by his pet hellhound, Muncher.

It's a safe event, so don't worry about losing items. Don't expect any hospitable treatment either, as the Reaper is not much of a host; in fact, some would say he's bone idle!

You'll find the entrance to the house in the form of a portal, south of Falador and near the elemental wizards. So, turn down the lights, pump up the volume and be prepared for a house of chills, thrills and some rather silly fun!

The Hallowe'en 2007 event is open to both free-to-play and members.

^-^ np, I was wondering why no one talked about lootshare.

I tested it first on falador center, then in varrock sewers and last at stronghold of security, all in world 14.

It seems a fair system, if you don't get a drop for long time you have more chances on get a rare drop. The range for it works is 16 squares, they can be 16 squares in a single row or 4x4 around of you (or any combo like that)

You get a message in a color if someone gets a drop (and says the name of the drop) and also says to you what you got as drop (but in green) They or you don't get in automatically on your inventory, you need pick it from floor.

Its works well if you are on a group searching a drop from a monster. If someone gets it (for example a blue robe from blue wizards) you will notice it at istant.

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

Halloween event, Wow! The emote that you get after done worths all the event. The grim reaper hood is of the same color of dark robes (you can get if from dark wizards south of varrock, and buy the bottom on Thessalia store) The event is west of magic shop (hehe, just where I was suggesting, don't flame plz)

It was awesome, lots of stuff that reminds me that jagex quest are awesome and are improving with every update. I miss members, I miss do quests.

Lootshare is nice, Luckk13 and myself went and did that at the KBD the other day. it's a nice addition, especially for clan support by Jagex. There's still more they can do for clan support though.

The Pineapple enjoyed the event, a bit lame but funny. Seeing people dying was the best part !

The Grim Reaper was a funny guy.





Stalker!!





And the Pineapple never knew that the Grim Reaper had a diary,

So as the holiday is coing up, rs is of course having their Halloween event. This year you will go to Grim Reapers house, and do some chores for him (3 to be exact).

The 1st is probably the easiest, considering all you have to do is go through some spider webs. You will have to travel to his garden, and retrieve a skull from one of his previous servants. You (like I said) travel through some spider webs and retrieve it.

Now you will travel to the west room to put some things back where they belong. There's a sofa, some bookshelves, cabinets, a fishtank, a shelf, a fireplace, a chest, and a table. Now you will sort the objects to where they belong. (HINT:The diary tells you where everything goes. It's on the table)

Finally, you will go upstairs to a maze of fun obstacles. The first is the slide, then comes the springboards, the pool, then finally you go through a maze of hidden traps (watch out for the invisible ones, if you fall through any, you will have to redo the maze). (HINT:You will have to do the maze twice)

After all the hard work, you are finally done helping the Grimm Reaper, and your reward........(if you don't want to know what the reward is, then don't read the rest) a new emote and a Grimm Reapers hood.

The hellhound gets angry and you have to entretain it or it will kill you
(you can get killed into the house, lots of times, but its a safe event)

About the grim reaper diary, if you know already where goes the things then just open it one time (needed for start) and hands to the work. Bones to chest, eye to shelves, etc... without check diary

The event was pretty cool but it litterally took me five minutes to complete, wish it would have been a bit longer.

Plus i wish they had given you a whole grim suit, that would have been pretty cool
