I...AM....FURIOUS!!! Destroying yet another good part of Runescape for these third rate updates. And for what? Terrible characters from a terrible tutorial? As for Al Kharid...It is more fitting for it to stay looking humble as it is...that is what war does (see Lore). Fancy Graphics and buildings prove nothing but lack of humility.

New quests = good! Looking forward to them!

Removing an old quest = not so much...
I understand the desire to update things, but I'm never really happy when you remove old quests or remove them as quest requirements. It often makes the lore explanation of why things are how they are not work right (example: herblore and summoning are Druidic techniques, but the quests that used to need to be done for the druids to teach you, i.e. unlock the skills, aren't reqs anymore). What is going to happen to the quests that have Prince Ali Rescue as a pre-req? What happens to the (very small but important to later quests) lore from it?

It's one thing removing individual quests with no ties to other parts of the game (like Sheep Shearer) but it's another altogether to remove a quest that acts as a starting point for a family of quests. I'm really not trying to complain, I'm looking forward to the new quests and I hope that the new quest will somehow be able to tie the lore together. I'm just cautious of the game getting lore 'glitches' to go with the regular glitches new updates bring...

Edit: Also, Festival of the Dead sounds intriguing. I enjoyed the Gielinor Games, though it got to be a bit of a chore going to it everyday and I slacked near the end. But who can say no to prayer xp?

Give them a chance. The rework might not go so well, and the loss of good old Prince Ali Rescue might be outweighed by a fun quest. Those screenshots alone are enough to convince me to reserve judgement.

Though I still would rather have the next elemental workshop quest...

True, but then Prince Ali Rescue doesn't have any lore, and the only connection it has with the rest of the desert quests is the introduction of a couple of characters, neither of which is particularly developed during the quest.

Two new quests?!? woohoo! I can't wait to do both the f2p and p2p quests. Reading the lore, I can tell the storylines in these quests are going to be very interesting and I love the voice acting. Finally, some history of Al Kharid! Great job and thank you Jagex!
