I would love to know what the mods are saying, but since many of the mods accents are too thick, I cannot understand them. This problem was resolved originally by having a caption option specifically for British accents, however, that option, for whatever reason, has been removed.

Please provide your own captions in the annotations or provide a transcript for the rest of us on the forums. That reminds me: what happened to the good old days when you would simply release an article in written form? Let's get back to that, thank you.

One final point: your forums and website are lagging up again. You may want to provide emergency maintenance and figure out what its choking on.

Regards,

Here, I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret!

Transcript for those who find it hard to understand their accents:

Divination is the first new skill to come to RuneScape in a very long time. It's tied heavily to the Sixth Age, and over the next few minutes you'll learn a whole lot more about it.

Mod Ana - With Divination, we really wanted it to be a new thing, not just for the players. The characters in the game don't really know that much about it yet - it's new to them too.

Mod Hew - Characters associated with Divination have a camp just west of the Lumbridge crater and south of the Draynor Village lodestone.

Mod Ana - There's three main NPC's at the skill camp and they'll take you through the basics of training Divination and some of the rewards. They're not very organised, but they kind of elected Orla as their leader, so she's kind of the first NPC you'll want to talk to. Then you've got Fasahn(sp?) and May, and they'll take you through kind of the more advanced rewards once you've learned the basics.

Mod Hew - You'll be able to be at the forefront of the skill ahead of most of the NPC's, and the skillcape is on a stand because nobody can wear it yet. Mod Mark has already spoken a little about the items that will heal you automatically. There are plenty of other things you can make with Divination such as Divine Locations.

Mod Ana - Divine Locations can be thought of as kind of portable skilling locations, such as a portable tree or a portable mining rock. They can be placed down pretty much anywhere you can put a fire, and then you can harvest resrouces from them much like you would a normal skilling location. However these are intended to give a kind of fast burst of xp and resources, so especially with the higher level locations you'll notice that you're harvesting much faster than you would otherwise.

Mod Hew- You can harvest from them; your friends can harvest from them, and when they do, you get a chance of bonus resources appearing in your inventory.

Mod Ana - We're kind of looking at other skills such as Woodcutting, Hunter, and Mining, and in these skills it's kind of beneficial to be on your own which we didn't think was quite right, so with Divine Locations we've really aimed to kind of make players be more sociable.

Mod Hew- Divine Locations exist for Mining, Woodcutting, Hunter, and Farming.

Mod Ana - Of course there have to be restrictions on Divine Locations, otherwise you could gather an infinite number of resources and that wouldn't be particularly good for the game's economy.

Mod Hew- You can only place one Divine Location of any kind each day, and there's a limit on how many items you can take from Divine Locations in general each day based on your levels. Divination is coming next week. Like the other member skills, the first few levels of Divination are open to free players, so they can come and see what it holds.

Mod Ana - So the obvious reason to check out Divination is to reach 99 and get the Skill Cape, and I'm quite excited to see who's going to do that first. Obviously Completionist Cape holders will want to get that back as well. Aside from that, there's a whole host of exciting rewards that we've talked about, as well as some game changes we haven't even mentioned yet.
