Hey everyone, my name is Piddo, well my real name is Bernard. I'm recently new to the server but i think that having everyone sign up for a forums account would be helpful. Here's why:

-More active forums

-More Player feedback

-Players will be more informed on what's going on, on a day to day basis

-More positive player to player interactions

Please leave me feedback, and i do take honesty as a positive thing!

Thanks, Piddo.

A lot of GREAT updates!

Thank you!

As you may or may not know, most RSPS have plenty of gambling ways.

Without a doubt, one of the most popular method is "Lottery".

Basically, works the same way as a real lottery would.

You speak to Gambler, you pay him the fee to enter the lottery.

Then, the top 3 winners are announced once the lottery takes place at the certain time.

The top 3 places (1st, 2nd, 3rd) split the jackpot.

The fee could be somewhere between 5-10m or so.

The lottery should happen once every week.

It would be indeed an exciting event for everyone.

I believe this would be a great opportunity for those who never happen to gain anything from gambling, or if they have never succeeded in any other money making methods, as well.

Could be also a great money sink for the economy.

Feel free to share your good vibes only.

Hello everyone,

Today's update consists of many bug fixes but also plenty of new content! A few days ago, raids were released on OSRS and we've begun working on them to get them to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, here are the latest updates:

NOTE: You must restart your client to obtain the latest version!

    • Fixed spam-teleblock bug which didn't allow you to attack a player who was already teleblocked

    • If you spec someone against a wall, it will not try to run them to the other side of the wall.
• New Duel Arena System:
  • The new OSRS duel arena has been implemented!
    • Due to the amount of scam reports the staff team has had to deal with, the new duel arena system seemed like a great option to deter scamming.

    • View other player's inventory/equipment (without showing amounts of any item)
    • No switch weapon ~ You will not be able to switch your weapon once the duel starts

• Miscellaneous:

  • Dragon claws are also now tradable
• Raids items teaser:
  • Everyone is excited about raids coming out, OSRS and Alora players alike! We wanted to give everyone a small taste of what the raids items are like, so we've added these 3 components to the website store:
    • Elder maul
      • Similar to the Chaotic maul, this powerful weapon provides a heavy blow to any formidable opponent.
    • Ancestral robes set
      • A magical set of robes, in which each component provides a magic damage boost.
      • The entire 3-piece set provides a 6% boost to Magical damage!
    • Kodai wand
      • The strongest of the wands, the Kodai wand provides a 15% boost to all Magical damage!
  • Raids are being worked on as we speak, but it is a huge job which will takeat least 10 days, which is why we've decided to release a few of the items early while the hype is extremely high. Keep an eye out for more Raids information soon!
• Smoke devil cave:
  • You may now access the Smoke devil cave through the shortcut in Nieve's cave(north-west in the cave)
    • This cave has many Smoke devils which require 93 Slayer to kill and can drop:
      • Occult necklace
      • Dragon chainbody

        • Provides a 10% accuracy and damage boost when casting from the Normal spellbook

        • #2: Emblem between tiers 1-5
        • #3: Emblem between tiers 1-4
      • For the player who dealt the most damage, Skotizo will upgrade an existing emblem in their inventory.
• Barrows point exchanging:
  • Previously, there were not many uses for barrows points. We've decided to change that and make them more useful!
    • You can now purchase a random barrows set for 15,000 points!
      • Simply speak to the Strange old man at Barrows to do so.

Hope that you guys enjoy this update! :)

There will be some changes to the newspaper starting on the next edition. From now on instead of the newspaper being a weekly edition it will be Bi-weekly. This means an issue will be posted once every two week. This gives us time to recope as much info as possible and for a better read.

 

 

There were no rule updates this week but make sure you get to know the rules here.

 

 

 

There were changes to the staff team this week.

 

Thunder has been been re-promoted to Server moderator.

 

Mewtwo has been promoted to Server moderator.

 

Jare has been promoted to Server moderator.

 

Poor Level 3 has been promoted to Server support.

Scotty Dont has resigned from his Server support position.

This week with much dissapointment I have to inform that there is no player of the week for this edition seeing as the staff team did not see any particular player standing out. We're sorry for those who tried for this week but encourage them to continue their work in hope of winning in the next edition.

 

 

 

 This week we interviewed Mystogen

 

 

 

Thunder: First of all, congratz on the promotion man. How does it feel on the first day as a server support so far?

 

Mystogen: To be honest, after the initial excitement of being a staff member wore off, I'm just back to doing me. I enjoy helping out and being a staff just helps motivate me to continue to help people. I'd like to thank everybody who congratulated me on my promotion and encouraged me to continue on my path, I promise not to let you down

 

Thunder:  That's awesome man, I'm sure you'll do a great job and not let this opportunity go to waste. Anyways, tell me more about you man. Do you have any hobby's or something you'd like to share with the community?

 

Mystogen:Outside of the game, my biggest passions are track/cross country and debate. I run for my school's track team in long distance events and I enjoy running in my free time. I'm also on my team's varsity debate team so I may be gone once in a while to compete for these activities. Some other games I play are League of Legends and OSRS (Although I'm on a small break from OSRS), if you'd like to play anytime just lemme know.

 

Thunder: Alright man, sounds good. Thanks for the interview!
