Hello everyone,
Ahead of our 10-Year Anniversary event, we are releasing an update to freshen things up -- including some updates to round out the previous couple months of updates, such as Sailing combat functionality & Combat Achievements for the recently released bosses. We've also added some brand new content, such as the AFK Zone which will allow you to continue training your skills when you are not at your PC, as long as you leave your client open and have recently voted. This zone also awards AFK tokens to spend in the AFK shop, which introduces many new items for you to obtain.
