Let add my two cents:

The Nexus: Unless this is a (mini)quest, the xp it provides should not be finite. This has the potential to be interesting, but looks like it might be a flop. (If it doesn't have much of a storyline)

Farming Update: The plants better have other uses than just training skills, or no one is going to use them. That said, it could be nice, I'm a level 86 farmer farming sweetcorn and tomatoes :(

God Emissaries: As long as there is one for Seren, (I say this because I haven't seen one mentioned) I've been waiting to hear what her alignment is.

PVP Death Animations: I'm not buying any runecoins until I actually own the account which they will be stored on. See my thread for details, QFC: 277-278-139-64250936. If I don't own what I'm upgrading, it's just money wasted in my opinion. (Still bitter from Squeal of RWT)

Overall: 7/10 (C)
Not half-bad, but we all know you can do better, Jagex.

Jagex, Would you be able to give your Runescape Community an explanation on why we don't have new skill yet? It was said to be released early 2013. At least that would make us happy if you could apologize and tell us its not ready.


We're tired of you ignoring us.
Only good content since u destroyed RS with EoC has been
-Kalphite King
-World Wakes

Why don't u change name of your game while your at it. Best wishes to all.

Why all the moaning and groaning? Literally, they give you a ton of content, at a rate 5x that of previous years, and when then tone it down for one month, you whine like a flea-bitten dog.

There's a ton of content already in game and I feel, (no pun intended), content! "True nobility is exempt from fear."

lol ive been watching this game go foward since '05, i havent seen too many downhill updates.

atleast they give you a ltitle bit of new content every month rather than just leaving the game as it was back in the day with 0 updates like another game i play

and if you were head of a company, you'd listen to the investors as well

Yes, let's thank them for making the past few updates as half-assed as possible.

Will we be able to toggle off the exp bonus from pendants we have in our bank?

If not I will probably be
destroying
a few pendants before that update goes live, there are certain skills I don't want the extra exp in (yet). The entire world is bragging about cookies and Jagex doesn't even know how to use them.

I'm stoked for God Emmisaries because it's the same exact idea I posted in the 'suggestions' 3-4-ish years ago, detail for detail. I'm just hoping it will be a little more elaborate by letting the player's chosen god alignment affect future quests in a way and perhaps having it be a more active part of game.

I feel this type of thing has a lot more potential to work with than what people are seeing initially. You can expand on rewards useful and\or aesthetic (gear\clothes and \or titles) depending on how much one devotes themselves to their god and the best rewards for the most devoted to their faction. (Could even make a ranking system out of it so say at 1000 points the person reaches a new level of devotion, make it like a leveling system having points be required exponentially and rewards coming with reaching each higher rank). I know I for one want to work hard to become as close as I can be to the right-hand of the god I choose (maybe not their right-hand itself because they have followers who've been devoted for so long like Azzanadra but pretty close :P )

This can also be implemented by having it influencing certain situations such as quests as already stated.


Some people feel this is a simple mini-game update but I see an ocean of opportunity. With the edicts out of the way and the character becoming more important than ever, this can be a huge update that can be added to as story continues.

The god-related lore has always fascinated me because i've always felt that it's one of the storylines that impact the game-world most. Sure the dwarves have some good story, and the elves got some cool stuff going on but nothing sucks me more into the game like god-related lore because what the gods do affect not only their followers but their enemies as well, so many characters are always involved and the stakes are always high.

Alas, I wish I got some credit for suggesting it back then but seeing one of my ideas come to life is already pretty awesome :)
No problems here. :)

Load of crap for updates this month...
A prayer dnd sort of thing thats gonna be dead on release.
Npc* that give lore... Might be interesting for some but its not real content and is gonna be over and done with in a few days at most.
Farming plants for training and buffing of god brews that even when buffed i doubt any1 would use.
Changing of xp bonuses...
Really jagex, really?
After a flop with one of the most anticipated updates (GWD and eoc update) and a ****** month before this you bring out a load of crap again?
+ u even mentioned a new skill would be released early this year. There hasn't even been the slightest mention of any new skill watsoever and its almost halfway through the year. C'mon... everyones losing faith. Pathetic job, really.
