18 September 2006 - Progress update
We're sure some of you are wondering when the next update will be and what we've been up to lately - So we thought we'd tell you a little bit about what's been going on. We haven't forgotten about you! We have just been (very) busy upgrading Runescript (our custom scripting language that we use to write the game).
Before we can start using the new version, we need to make sure that everything still works and that the changes won't break existing content. With a game as complex as RuneScape this has been an enormous task, hence the gap in updates last week. Indeed key people have been working evenings and weekends as well to get it all done!

Naturally we are still working on the types of exciting updates you'd expect, but 'under the hood' upgrades like this are also essential to help us do new types of content and continue to raise the standard of future releases.

We are aiming for an update later this week assuming the rest of our internal testing continues to progress without issue. If you're wondering what it will be, do read the behind the scenes document for September. We are still planning on sticking to that schedule and releasing the updates we said we would this month. And that's in addition to the Runescript upgrade work!

Thanks for your patience!

I figure this is for the sounds update. That would be difficult to incorperate into the game in my opinion.

frankly I'm excited for this sound update...and if they get it in by the end of the week I'll be even more excited. And I doubt they'd play with there "RuneScript" unless it was large like this update.

I always prefer a tweaking of what already exists in the game to something new for us to toil over.

that's true, but when it's adding a feature (not content) to make the already exsisting game better, like the sound...It's uber nice. I'd rather they do this than adding new quests and what not every week.
