I am unable to see anything good in this update because it also represents the removal of content. It isn't two new quests, it's a new quest and a quest replacement.

I'm sure that many people put a lot of work into this update. I'm sure that Al Kharid will look much better for it. But all this update will be remembered for is its removal of a perfectly good quest-- the further loss of RuneScape's history. What is the point of having veteran's capes when this is the policy? The game is not just expanded but replaced. The old game is gone. It is reminiscent of the rewriting of history in 1984. It is sad that so much work has gone into something that at best will be ignored and at worst will drive away more and more players as the game they loved is taken away from them.

I realise it is too late for Prince Ali Rescue, but further removals, especially of quests, will urge me to abandon this game. As a player with maximum quest points, I would hope my voice will carry some weight with the quest development team. I fully utilise this content, and yet, it now seems pointless to do so. Why do a quest, when it is likely to be replaced anyway.

Where is the information in type? there are many people in this world that play, that are like me: at least half deaf---tis irritating in the extreme to try to listen to a video, esp. with a different accent and have to guess at what's being said.
I would like Jagex to be as nice as most news on the internet is now, having both the video and the typed transcript for people to be able to see.
I don't bother even trying anymore to "listen" when I just can't hear it (and don't try increasing the volume--if it gets too loud I can't understand because it is damaging my hearing further at levels below my hearing (according to my audiologist.)

Please, give transcripts too, it is just a minor few pixels of content.
Oh and my husband adds that being able to enlarge the type would be nice too--for those of us with glasses that are no longer that strong!

That really isn't two new quests at all. One new quest and a replacement. I wish you guys would stop trying to fix things that aren't broken. Prince ali rescue was a good quest and I remember doing it back in the day. No need to take it away. You could've just added two new quests whilst keeping ali rescue.

I wish you guys would only ever add/slightly modify quests. If it was good enough to be put in the game once it should only need slight modification at most to keep it up to date.

I agree with Isis Read, and many of the above posters, but just to reiterate:

1. The graphical update to AK is much needed and welcome.

2. The new quests, both P2P and F2P, are very much welcome, especially as new quest content has been sparse this year.

3. The removal of Prince Ali Rescue IS NOT A GOOD THING. Yes, I understand that you may be reaching a fairly large number of quests that may be intimidating for new players, but the solution is not to remove "significant" quests. The Prince Ali Rescue has parts to play in several other quests, via the introduction to Osman--Dealing with Scarabas, The Recipe for Disaster, Contact, and Do No Evil. It also sets the stage for some of the lore.

Now, I will be 100% satisfied with this update IF and ONLY IF in the next year Jagex releases a quest or something that ties these characters back in, be it an extension to the new "replacement" quest that reintroduces characters and gives a "GOOD" reason for the player to have a relationship with Osman and to tie the story together. We veteran players do NOT want to have our quests and player histories start to disappear.

All some ppl ever do is complain. I'm actually getting tired of seeing so many people do this, the novelty is wearing off. Be humble or say nothing ! you know your scruples are gone When you're born with Lucifer's horns And you're from the school of Notorious, Puba, Cube And The Poor Righteous Teachers tutored my students Showed them all the blueprint and formula

If your going to replace Prince Ali Rescue & pay homage to it I hope you do a better job then when you replaced Romeo & Juliet at least Romeo & Juliet had some humor Gunnars ground was awfully boring & ended up being far less enjoyable to play. I've rather liked your other quest reworks that I got to try when Burthorpe/Taverley got updated earlier in the year so fingers crossed you can repeat that...

Looks like the graphics team has done an outstanding job well done to them :)
