"However, even with this bump in active users the daily visitor count is still only 75% of what it was 1 year ago."

Does that mean it's the same people logging on more often?

Edit: Oh wait, daily visitors... that's like hits, isn't it? I'm still not confident enough that I'm right though. Grah, I'm a Computing Student... I should know this. >_<

I miss my avatar... is that a stupid thing to become a member for?

I assume Eum means page hits, but he could mean unique visitors per day. Either way I'm curious where he gets such current information.

And I would attribute a depressing percentage of the spike to a tidal wave of bots. I was trying to train Thieving not long ago, and you know what spot was overrun? The Sorceresses Garden! There's at least 20 bots there running back and forth getting herbs for their owners of all levels, dropping lower value ones at the spawn. They tend to pile up and move with exact synchronization, which is how I knew they were bots...

I'm sure flax, essence, and f2p worlds are 10x worse...

My art's in the Official RuneScape collection on Deviant Art.

Bots are back in all their glory, then?

I'll have to read the postbag in a bit then, me thinks.

AU to (M/G) at O (N/A) CO S (M/N).
I see C H A O (S/C) AR MO you are (S/B).

The problem I see with your translation is that you're using the non periodic letters differently... see = C, you = U and are = R... but your using TO and AT just like that. Although the fact you get four completely readable words is probably too much of a coincidence if that's not it...

I'm going to try and find some anagrams just using the periodic letters...

Have we gotten any particularly interesting hints from the Chaos Ele this time? Seems like he only doles out stuff that doesn't make sense until after said content has been released, which is no fun.

Also - I started "Do No Evil"; it's way fun, and rather old-fashioned in terms of design. Gives you very little direction. Honestly, it's refreshing, after breezing through Prisoner of Glouphrie.

Something about Daemonheim, as Slayer said.

"Moonlit shores" and "spells for all who help her" could be a new Lunar Quest.

Automaton, Cosmic, Chaos and Armours. Imagine having robotic pets! It could also be combining Rune Mechanics and the Elemental Workshop. I think they said that Rune Mechanics would be going somewhere... and we did just learn how to make automatons (although, they were sentient, which isn't what an automaton generally is). Cosmic and Chaos do definitely seem Elemental Workshop related, and the clue is very similar to the EW3 clue... but automaton is the interesting bit.

The pirate section could allude to the next in the Pirate series... "In a fact'ry o' b..." could mean the rum factory on Braindeath Island.

I'm not sure. But I think the community events are worth while. I think it's quite a good tactic for distracting players from the actual content being released, and since they've started it during a period of quite high actual content it might not be noticed when it's being used as a cover.
