While the content advertised is certainly interesting, there's only two weeks of it. Vorago, sure, sounds fun, and as long as the bacon quest is long, I don't really mind how difficult/easy the reqs will be. I just worry that for the second month in a row, we're getting filler content. We've got two weeks where the only things suggested to come as an update are more slayer masks, and an 'announcement' regarding RS3.

I know RS3 is taking most of the development time at the moment, and it will herald in a whole host of 6th Age content, but by keeping all of that so close to the chest, players are starting to feel as though we're getting less and less info from Jagex, in exchange for weaker, and less readily available content. I'll not lie, I'm slightly worried that this 'announcement' will be yet another postponement on the RS3 release. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but... Not a GREAT fan of this BTS. It doesn't tell us anything we don't already know.

what the.....jagex,you have answered my prayers.yet again a no free to play update.thanks for showing me and all my free to play compatriots we mean absolutely nothing to you.since you are now going as far as to making 0 or 1 update for members every month,why don't you make your game what you plan to make it?the number 1 pay to play game.pay to play,pay to level,pay to do anything.thank you jagex,you just made my day.

Are you serious? All the people who pay are getting is a boss that drops level 90 mage gear and a quest that is geared at lower level players, and your complaining about no f2p content?

I spent over 5 years in ftp where the only updates where holiday events and dung. Ftp has gotten a lot in the last two years, and it sickens me that some of you feel entitled to more updates.

***The coming out of RS3 is considered an update, just not in the context of this post***

We do need some lower-level quests, I'm tired of these High Level Agility quests...

I love how Jagex considers, or at least considered, F2P to be the 'Main Game' and P2P to be the 'DLC or Expansion'. Once the DLC is bigger than the main game it was 'tacked' on to, the DLC becomes the main game.

There seems to be a lack of content in general, if they stopped with the rediculous amount of SoF and SGS updates, perhaps bring it down to once a month, they might be able to fit more actual game updates in, in both F2P and P2P.

Please remember there are players who do not boss fight at all, and who rely on non combat skills to obtain their gear.

There is still no replacement for the non combat skills player made rune crossbow for the player who wants to make their weapons using only non combat skills, so I have no crossbows at all that can fire my enchanted bolts.

Dragon crossbow: = Not made with non combat skills, requires boss fights
Chaotic crossbow = Not made with non combat skills, requires boss fights
Royal crossbow = Not made with non combat skills, requires boss fights

The best crossbow I can make without boss fighting is a rune crossbow, and a rune crossbow will not work to fire ruby or diamond or higher enchanted bolts.

This leaves me only crystal bows, and no crossbows for ranged.

Please remember there are non combat skills and players who do not boss fight and want to make their gear using only non combat skills, and do not want their gear to come from monster drops. Hi.

It seems every time a Jmod posts on the forums they ignore any kind of negative criticism.

It's high level content for a reason.

You're not going to have a level 90 weapon that you have to make like a Rune Crossbow.

Even if the raw materials required level 99 across multiple skills, it would be far too easy to obtain.

If you choose not to incorporate combat into your gameplay then you have to deal with the consequences.

Not trying to take this out of context, but i will say not a lot of people like high level agility quests either :D but in terms of quests we have 112 novice to intermediate quests. I would say half of those are one off non-advanced quest lines.
