I believe the God Emissaries are a great idea! I've always wanted to pledge my allegiance to Zaros. I hope you guys are doing a good working with the beta, I hope you guys will surprise us at launch with something flashy maybe? The plant thing is also a great idea, mainly cause my farming level is quite low at the moment, and trees are not the most interesting thing to farm. The Nexus seems like a good idea, I can't really tell. Some of my real life friends have tried out this game, but gave up due to the leveling being too slow. So if The Nexus speeds up that process in the start it would be quite useful. Great job Jagex! Keep it up.

God Emissaries sound awesome!!! Good job on that Jagex. We do need more quests so you better give us like 5 quests in june. I just hope that the god emmisaries were worth messin up may though. And Gilded altars are the best prayer xp not swamp voodoo rituals.

Nothing that interests me this month I'm afraid.

And still no new quest for supposed "year of lore". Random game events with lore tie-in's don't count. I want gameplay, puzzles, music, rewards. A game to play. Talking to an NPC to ally myself with a god to receive some rewards = no.


Have to agree with this. I want more challenging quests like WGS and MEP2. Being fed with xp is boring Maxed on 7/1/16

What are they doing with our money? Why, sending it to IVP, their American overlords, of course. Silly question.

As for high levels, IVP figures they will wander off anyway, so they are aiming for new blood. Haven't you noticed all the free experience givaways? Quantity over quality.

This month looks pretty good; like the god content, like the extra Prayer XP, like the new plants (maybe I won't have to spend lots of money on trees after all), so-so on the bonus cleanup, I'm not in the beta, and don't care about Solomon and SoF. All in all, a decent month. A quest would be nice, though...

God Emissaries - an alternate approach (W42)

One thing I really dislike is talking to a robot (NPC).

Seek out 8 players willing to be actors, each becomes an emissary.

Send them the 'script' and necessary instructions; for example 'You can go anywhere in the world you wish but we'd rather you centre your activities around such-and-such.'

A unique log-in and pass word gives them access to the character.

Let them roam about the world at random places and times (when they log-in), and actively recruit. Each emissary comes alive by walking and talking to players, calling players by name, challenging each one with reasoned arguments.

This would be a great way to bring Legend and Lore to life, and it need only be tried on W42. The other worlds can have the robot NPCs. Why does a hand-thrown water balloon have TWICE the range of my best bow?!?

People asking about the new skill- I remember them saying in one of the vids a month or so ago that it would be released in like the first month of summer, May just started and summer doesn't start until mid-June :P

Actually, what is now known as May Day was the original start of the summer. The weird modern people somehow got it in their heads to make summer start on the longest day of the year, after which it only gets colder.

As far as I am concerned it is summer right now. Yay for the original season system. The entire world is bragging about cookies and Jagex doesn't even know how to use them.
