Today we have released the massive and extremely sinister Underground Pass quest.

       For people not familiar with this quest, it is the 3rd quest in an ongoing storyline following the Plague City and Biohazard quests. Once you have completed the Biohazard quest speak to King Lathas of Ardougne to begin the adventure.

       For people who have finished this quest, this update also opens up some popular combat training areas, and the ability to get and recharge the staff of Iban.

       This is the final piece of content which needed to be converted from RuneScape Classic. This means that the rest of our development staff can now be assigned to writing brand new game content.

       We are now able to begin working on part four of this storyline, which is amongst the many other features listed in our "Upcoming Runescape updates" which we posted on the 31st of March.

       Today's update also includes a new filter option for public-chat. By pressing the 'public-chat' button at the bottom left of the game client a few times, you can now choose the new 'hide' mode. In this new mode public-chat will appear above nearby players heads, but will not appear in the bottom message box. This is particularly useful if you find your message box is getting flooded with nearby chat, but you don't want to block out what nearby people are saying entirely.

       We are aware that a number of players have had difficulty in completing the 'Biohazard' quest, due to not being able to speak to King Lathas in order to gain the quest reward.

       We are in the process of fixing this and it should be resolved with the next update. (customer service news)

       We are aware that players have had problems moving their Dragon Stone Amulet (known as the Amulet of Glory in Runescape) to Runescape Classic.

To Fix this you will need to:

1. Log in to Runescape (New Version).

2. Fully Charge or Discharge (it doesn't matter which) the Amulet of Glory.

3. Place the Amulet of Glory in your bank.

4. Log out of Runescape.

5. Use the item transfer to Runescape Classic again.

6. Log in to Runescape Classic and the Dragon Stone Amulet will be in your bank.

       This will resolve the problem and allow you to use your Amulet again. (customer service news)

       We've just improved the chat system in RuneScape to incorporate some of your requests.

We've made the following improvements to the chat:

• There is now a button in the options-screen, which lets you split private chat onto the main window. If you use this option private messages will be displayed seperately to other messages meaning you won't miss them even in a crowded area. This also means you can still see incoming messages when talking to npcs or sending a message out.

• Adding names to your friends/ignore list is now much easier. When someone talks to you, you can now just right-click on their name in the chat box and choose 'add friend' or 'add ignore' to instantly add them to your list.

• Removing names from your friends/ignore list is also much easier. Just right click on the name on your list and press 'remove'.

• Accepting incoming trade/duel offers is now easier. No more hunting around in a large crowd of people trying to find the person who wants to trade with you. Instead you can simply click on the incoming trade/duel request in your chat box to instantly accept it.

We've also fixed the following bugs:

• Fixed: Agility obstacles were doing to much damage when you failed them.

• Fixed: Some of the obstacles in the wilderness agility course were impossible to fall off at higher levels.

• Fixed: The boots of lightness made you lighter on free servers.

• Fixed: Plate skirts had different defense stats to plate legs.

• Fixed: Some walls near doors and gates could be walked through.

• Fixed: The duel arena music was not unlocking properly on the juke box.

• Fixed: The right click trade option at the cookery shop opened a fishing shop.

• Fixed: Players didn't drop bones when they died.

• Fixed: Unfinished Irit potions looked like vials of water.

• Fixed: Having a full inventory when you won a dueling stake meant you left your stake in the arena

       We've received messages from several players running at 800x600 resolution saying the RuneScape game window is now too big for their screen, and they would like an option for a smaller window.

       Therefore I am working on adding a button to the in-game options screen, that lets you optionally shrink the whole game window down to a smaller size (making it look more like RS-Classic). This should be available next week.

       Meanwhile if you are using Internet-Explorer and want to be able to see the whole screen at once at low resolutions, there is already an easy way! First open Internet-Explorers 'view' menu (at the top of the screen), and then simply choose the 'full screen' option from the bottom of the menu.

       We have been receiving a lot of messages from players who have moved their items to RS-Classic, who have now changed their mind and want to move them back again.

       We would therefore like to remind players that there is currently no way to reverse the item transfer. Please please only move your items to RS-Classic if you are absolutely sure that is what you want to do!

       We may at some point in the future be able to let people who have changed their mind move their items yet again, but don't count on it. As we have stressed before, it is simply not a viable option to have players swapping items back and forth between the two games at will.
