Oh bah...so a few years back last year my membership lapsed past the grace period for 2-3 days (hence, why I also pay the 8/month now, well I would be if I didn't buy that gold package at the start of the year). Will the Loyalty rewards be for total years of membership or for the current streak of membership? I already lost out on thousands of loyalty points when I had to start building them up again, and I've a feeling I'm going to be missing out on lots of yearly milestones just because of that one rough month at college. :(

Other than that bit, hopefully the shop merger will be fair; the plans outlined sounded pretty good. Oh, and of course, I'm as stoked for Divination as everybody else!

I Love LOVE this month coming up!

The new skill looks interesting and Exciting. Especially that there are more memories of Guthix to be found.

The New quest Looks really really good. voice acted and the graphics are just amazing!

@ Tineen

I don't believe they are getting rid of any quests, unless the rework does that. To me it sounds like a brand new quest. Time to follow an trail of Treasure.

Divination should be good gameplay for some time. While the rest of the updates are potentially good upgrades I have to admit I'm disappointed that World Event changes will constitute an update and the merger, while needed, will take up another. I hope the Quest remake is good, but I'm kinda hoping we get back to needing requirements (thereby ensuring the difficulty of the quest will increase).

My guess for the future of Runescape is that all f2p quests will be replaced by really fkingggg aweome 6th age related quests, most of the npcs in runescape will have their own unique abilities or maybe just the one in f2p areas and lastly, every single npc will have enhanced animations to make it fit runescape 3 theme cuz srsly, old animations are crap, while we get no new actual content for the next few months.

personally id prefer this cuz lots of outdated ********t out there jagex would b nc if u update themmm gawwddd

P.S
best BTS so far.

Are you kidding me? Replacing free to play 5th age quests with reworked 6th age quests will terribly mess up on what we did in the past. Don't you think?

Regarding the loyalty store updates, can we please have:

A do-over (for instance, Xuan takes all our auras and loyalty items back for a full refund) and then we can buy them back, and then sell back to the story for 75% store credit. This allows experienced players who no longer need auras that go unused or that were purchased on whims or poor choices to be recycled, keeping the store community-driven.

New auras and fixes to the old ones, like tier 1, 3 and 4 penance/vampyrism/equilibrium and knockout/dark magic/berserker/greenfingers get fixes so they are fully functional

Can we have an aura upgrade that cuts down the cooldown, which would be expensive but very worth the points?

Also, the loyalty store has been there for a rather long time now, almost two years, so will members that have been loyal throughout those years get the yearly bonuses as a thank you for being loyal (which is the point of the system) or will the new rewards be only available from the update onwards? Implementing this can negate the need for a do-over for loyal players and will truly reflect rewards for those who have purchased membership consistently. If this is not implemented and new players get the same benefits as the old loyalists, this will demean the program heavily by rewarding those that havent earned it, and ignoring those that have.

well maybe not all, just the one tat are "replaceable" but tbh, i dont really see any harm if every f2p quest is to be replaced by 6th age ones.

Think of an f2p quest when changed, will make a big impact on runescape's actual history...
