Optional Randoms & Goblins
Quick find code: 380-381-95-65476061
Can we have a moment of silence for the broken farming tools that have been fixed today? R.I.P. spade. You are out of my sight, but you will never be out of my heart, I may not see your face, but I will always remember your smile, I will never hear your voice again but you will forever whisper in my ear, I never got to say goodbye to you, or tell you how much you really meant to me, one day we will meet at heavens gates and I will be with you again and this time it will be forever.

Randoms should be a completely toggable option where you can tick on/off with an npc.
Lengthy bit of explanation coming up here...
Randoms were tied into all the skilling code in the game.
If the game wanted to give you a random, it'd intercept the skilling code and try to start a random event.
If we'd let you toggle off randoms, the skilling code would have effectively been interrupted for no apparent reason. This was a common source of complaints from PvP worlds where randoms were already (mostly) disabled.
We didn't want to make the entire game like that for everyone who toggled off the random events.
To make randoms togglable, we'd have had to do a complicated edit to every bit of skilling code that had random event checks tied into it. With several hundred of these checks, that was not going to be a small or straightforward job.
For this update, I've done a much simpler change to all the random event checks in the skilling code. Basically, I deleted the lot of them, and wrote a separate system for spawning randoms independently of the skilling code. So the random event isn't part of the skilling code anymore.
This means we can now offer to do that toggle you're describing, quite easily, without getting the horrendous dead-click problem that would have arisen before.
