The Nexus
- Players already have the burthope tutorial for low level training, we dont need another sh*t update for new bots.. er, players.

God Emissaries
- Honestly, how are you squeezing a full update out of this. Before this would have been an "in other news..." update.

Farmed and Dangerous
- The one decent update. Finally giving us something else to gain xp on apart from trees and fellstalk.

Bonus XP Tidy Up
- Not even an update, another one that belongs under "in other news...".

Solomon's Store/Squeal of Fortune
- Great, more sh*t to clog up my already full bank.

I thought April was bad...

Low-level Prayer (Nexus):
There are many other methods of training Prayer outside of burying chicken bones. Those methods may be more money, but they do exist. I recently got 99 Prayer, so this update will not be for me. It will be nice for lower level players or new players, but you also might be making it too easy. We'll see how it's implemented.

God Emissaries:
This is the most intriguing update of the month and perhaps the only one I'm looking forward to this month. It's quite interesting that this is available to free player and members. There are a lot of rumors around this update as to what all will be included. New skill preview? New areas? New lore details? I will keep an eye on this one for sure.

Farmed and Dangerous:
This update might be coming too late especially for me. This update should make good uses for patches that are currently not used or rarely used at that. This update will have nothing for me sadly.

Bonus XP tidy up:
This sounds more like an "In Other News" piece of content personally. This could be added to the other pieces of content for the month.

SOF/SGS:
I don't think this counts as content for any month. We all assume there will be updates to both SoF and SGS every month! This is an extra way for you to generate money and should not be counted as a piece of content for players.

Beta:
Even if there are significant updates to the HTML 5 Beta, this also should not be counted as a content update for May. The beta will be going on alongside normal updates for the current game!

Summary:

This month has 3 main pieces of content, which can happen in a month, but one of the updates (Nexus) seems like a rather small piece of content that could be grouped with Bonus XP, SoF/SGS, and the HTML 5 Beta. My biggest complaint about the last two months is the lack of NEW content instead of reworks and updates on existing content.

Not much in updates this month, low lv prayer wont be a big help to me for starting but i suppose some lower lvs might be happy with it.

The god emissaries might be intresting and something new. Glad we finally getting some lore and insight on what the 6th age will bring us, that is nice!

The farming improvments is the one im looking forward to most, finally a nice way to raise one of my lowest skills and get it ever closer to 99 so this is what im most pumped about.

More wheel and soloman's...yay. Hope these finally slow down when RS3 goes live.

As for the beta it'll be much better as the bugs and lag is fixed so that might be worth trying again.

Still i feel it could have been a much better month and again wheres our new quest? 2 quests this year so far, really saddening people like me find quests the best part of the game :(

Hoping things brighten up as summer comes around.

I guess we can read this as the announcement that Mod MMG's sellout was a complete failure, and the SoF scam does not even come close replace the losses due to halfing the member base in the last 12 months.

How about *learning* from your failures, for a change?

NO. It is not bright and sunny at all! I would very much love to have some cosmetic items without RWTing. I will not give into your greedy corporate schemes.

WHO CARES ABOUT MAY !!!

After the disaster you dropped on us on 4/30 I don't think many of us are very excited to hear about what ---new--- things you have in store for the new month and most especially any SOF/SGS crap you want to drop in our laps.

How about answering the 100 pages of issues directed to you on the Recent Game Updates Forum...
