September 4 | September 9 | September 11 | September 19 | September 24 | September 25 | September 30 September 30, 2002: Attention all adventurers! In response to the constant thirst for knowledge of our players Jagex is proud to announce the birth of the Runescape newsletter - delivered straight to your email account! Forged in the mines at an undisclosed location, this priceless document will give you all the latest development news and info straight from the Jagex team. Click here to get our newsletter September 25, 2002: We've updated the RuneScape world-map to show all the latest areas and additions to the map. Newly mapped areas include West Ardougne, and the Gnome Tree Village. The map is pretty huge now so use the scrollbars to scroll around and view the entire area. September 24, 2002: RuneScape was updated today with changes big and small. As well as fixing lots of small issues, we've also added the following features: Tutorial Island - All newcomers can now take heart! First-time players will now start their adventures on tutorial island, where the good people of Runescape are busy preparing people for the challenges that await them. Learn the way of the rune, and pick up some handy culinary tips. Waterfall Quest (Members quest) - Walk along the river that flows through Kandarin, where the locals speak of hidden treasure, and the legend of the Elven King. Search for a place untouched by human hand, and for treasures whose value cannot be counted. King Black Dragon (Members monster) - The most fearsome monster ever to venture into Runescape has now... err... ventured into Runescape. So for all you plucky young upstarts, take a break from emailing customer support and pit your wits against the deadliest beast to date! More prudent types might just want to gaze at him from afar. Of course you'll have to find him first. September 19, 2002: We're still working on the big graphical update. It sure is a lot of work! It's still a way off, so meanwhile we're going to show occasional previews of how things are progressing. As well as improving all the graphics, we're also reworking all the animation to use a lot more frames so everything move more smoothly. Here is a preview of how some of the monsters/people look using our new animation system. September 11, 2002: New abuse reporting system online! We've added a new 'abuse report' button to the RuneScape game which sends an untamperable snapshot of recent chat/trade events directly to customer support. This means there is now a VERY easy way for us to catch all the people misusing our game and ban them once and for all! If you continue to be abusive or break the rules now the new 'report abuse' system is online then you WILL be caught almost immediately! Please do NOT misuse the 'report abuse' feature. This is feature will allow us to catch and remove the trouble makers from our game. Help us clean up RuneScape by only using this report for serious cases. Thanks Andrew September 9, 2002: New members quest online - The sea slug quest Something mysterious is happening on the new offshore fishing platform. People who've gone on their regular fishing trip just haven't returned! Can you rescue the missing father and son from the unknown horrors out at sea? We've also added the ability to catch oysters whilst fishing with a bignet. The pearls from these can be used to make powerful crossbow bolt tips. Plus we've added two new certificate traders in Zanaris (underground city) September 4, 2002: Please vote for us in the golden joystick awards 2002. If you live in the UK then we'd really appreciate you voting for RuneScape as online game of the year. Just click here and type RuneScape in the 'online game of the year' box. It will only take a few minutes and doesn't cost anything :-) Thanks! Andrew |
