25 September 2005 - New Look Website
We have changed our website to have a great new-look front page and updated many of the pages and graphics. The major changes are:
New-look Front page - with new navigation links and summaries of the latest news stories
Pages are now wider, allowing us to show you more content than before
Updated graphics - many of our pages have been redesigned with new graphics to make them even better
No more secure menu - we have put all the links from the secure menu onto the front page (of course the services are just as secure as before!)
Less adverts - many sections such as our manual are now completely advert free!
Higher security logins - when you log-in to the website, your log-in is now restricted to what you logged-in to do. For example, if you log-in to check your messages and leave your computer unattended, the worst that can happen is that someone using your computer can also read your messages. They won't be able to set contact details, post on the forums or anything else as you. Of course we'd still recommend you ALWAYS log out of the website when leaving your computer unattended.
We understand that it might take a little while to get used to where the new links are, but we've made sure all your favourite sections are still available from the front page. Once you've got used to the new design the new navigation should be easier and more intuitive to use, as we've worked hard on arranging things more logically. We believe that you will find the new website easy to use, and hope that you enjoy using it!
25 September 2005 - TzHaar reworks and mage arena changes
The popular fight pits have received a fair amount of feedback on our forums over the last week, so we decided to run some of your suggestions past the TzHaar. They weren’t exactly pleased that a bunch of humans who had just been invited in started telling them how to do things better, but they were willing to listen.
The changes are:
More viewing orbs have been added to the waiting area, so players in there can spot people cowering in the corners.
A healing spell has been added to the hot vent gate. This will restore the hitpoints of any leaving contender and cure any poison afflicted.
The actual process of entering the pits has also changed. Now, people in the waiting arena will automatically join the fight without being asked. The waiting time has also been reduced.
Mage Arena
The entrance to the Mage Arena has also been changed. Webs and a lever have been added to prevent people using it as a quick exit point.
25 September 2005 - New graphics for Port Sarim, Rimmington and Thurgo's Peninsula
Following our initial free-world update of 22nd February this year (Lumbridge and Draynor), this week the area of Port Sarim and Rimmington has also been enhanced. Feel free to wander down to the new-look Docks, where you'll also find a new and improved jail. If you want some combat action then Melzar's Maze has also had a lick of paint, as has the Crafting Guild and Make-over Mage's house. Adventurers should also be on the look-out for some new Elemental Magi that are wandering outside the Falador city walls.
The Graphics team is currently working on the next phase of this improvement to the Free Area, which will include an overhaul to Draynor Manor, Falador and the Barbarian Outpost.
22 September 2005 - A Tail of Two Cats
For years, Bob the cat has wandered the fields of RuneScape, confusing those around him with his random meows… but who is this social enigma? Many rumours have spread round about who, what or why he is, but nobody truly knows the truth… or do they? Unferth the unfortunate local of Burthorpe has sadly left his garden gate open one time too many, and Bob has gone missing.
This quest features romance, heroes, legends, intrigue, destiny, and a whole bunch of other amazing things, including some fantastic cutscenes and a very, very lovesick Bob. Can you look after pets, crusade across deserts, use your home made Bob tracking device and save the day? Would you like one of RuneScape's most popular characters to owe you a favour? If so, check out the A Tail of Two Cats quest page now. You're bound to learn more than you thought…

Oy, it's only an intermediate quest, only reqs are Icth's Helper and Gertrude's Cat done, and you have to currently have a cat/kitten :\. Well, I guess I'll run by Varrock when I get home and get started on this, Krylon, take your chance to get ahead ;o.

The worst part is when you go to login. You can no longer see how many people are on all of the worlds. You have follow a link to the area you want and then you can only see how many are logged in for that particular area. I hate it.

To put it as mildly as possible, the new front page sucks green pond scum! That is the most horrible looking front page for a website I've seen since my 2 year old discovered the Teletubbies on the 'net. Wait...I take that back...the Teletubbies website is better looking.

I haven't seen a single person yet who likes it, and a week after all the complaints from the Fight Pits they rectified quite a few errors, hopefully they'll change a few things around, although I doubt much will get done, a layout is far too big to change on the opinions of say, 3/4s of the players :\. Who knows, maybe if we keep asking them about it they'll work on it.

New graphics I don't care, and the quest I'll get around too.
