Interested to see which gods you're able to choose from...

Include all the good ones..like Seren :D


Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak, Zaros, Armadyl, Seren, Bandos, then No gods

Guthix = No Gods. So this only covered 7/8 factions.


Probably also the Desert Pantheon.


I want to align myself to Bob!

So. The earliest we were told to expect at least one new skill is Early this year. It is now May and, weee, farming update! Promising an early release of anything and your still in alpha is not a good idea. Hopefully we'll get some new info next month. Or maybe September. Or they could be a Christmas present...next year.

"one big thing you'll notice is that many of these items will no longer need to be worn to access the bonus XP linked to them - so you'll be able to wear an amulet that gives you a combat bonus rather than your usual XP amulet, for example. "

PLEASE don't let this mean you're going to end up removing EXP amulets due to them being "Not neccesary" - I utterly adore how they look, so I'd be pretty upset if you did.


I have a similar concern. I hope they're not going to make bonus xp outfits (5%) obsolete. Gold Lava, Lumberjack, Constructor's, Fish Flingers, etc. just to name a few. O_o
Nothing interesting happens.

Might as well add my voice to the growing list of people frankly pretty annoyed that we haven't seen a new quest in over a month, nor any hint at the Sir Owen reworks and/or the new skill(s). It's getting to be really hard to continue to have faith in you, Jagex, you're really making it difficult...

Really regretting the fact that I now have Gold membership.

The gods are sending emissaries... Really? Really Jagex? That's what you've come up with. That's how we're going to join forces with or without the gods. Spare me. You couldn't have attached this on a follow-up quest? As far as I was aware, we had already made our decision in TWW. Does that count for nothing? It has to because certain NPCs have chosen to address us differently depending on how we reacted in the quest. So much for this amazing lore change. You killed Guthix in February or March, I can't remember exactly, and you've done nothing since except lame little things like this one. Where is Zamorak? Like Saradomin, there's nothing hindering him from returning! Where is Saradomin? Why is there no follow-up to TWW yet?

It's not too early. The most powerful god just died, his edicts are broken, he left us with power to do with as we please, and the gods who fought so vehemently in the past have returned eager to obtain the elder artifacts. Why are they sitting around doing nothing? Strategic planning? They've been doing that ever since their banishment so don't give me that excuse. They need recruits? Saradomin has followers in the majority of the world. Zamorak has the Wilderness and Morytania. Bandos has tons of goblins and other creatures. Also, they should have done plenty of recruiting outside of Gielinor before the fall of Guthix. The godwars should be happening right now, but they're not.

You know what this is turning out to be: a civil god war. You might as well tell the gods to put on their Sunday best, go sit in a parlor, sip some tea and diplomatically discuss the imminent civil god war in eloquent dialects whilst stroking their curly mustaches because nothing interesting is going on. No war. No action. There is no sense of urgency. Only silly little emissaries.
Here, I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret!

I'm not going to lie, this month looks bland. The only thing that interested me was the God Emissaries, and even that wasn't exponential.

Looking forward to the June BTS.
Overall month: 3/10.

-Ascertes, Final King of Hallowvale.
-Ascertes, King of all the Hallowlands and the Everchosen of Saradomin.
