One of the major quest series of Runescape is this Mysteries of the Mahjarrat series, which subliminally started with the Fight Arena where General Khazard was denied a couple of slaves … and his little dog too, and Lucien sought the fabled Staff of Armadyl.

Checking out the main website, I saw the word “Classic” and immediately thought, “All right. Another development diary taking us back to the good old days. The “gold” days. … conveniently and aptly named, of course.” As I usually do, I skipped the summary and dove straight into the article, where it told me that [...]

For a while now, we’ve been learning the upcoming of Jagex’ latest projects through means other then the monthly update (which, I admit, was a lot more fun to look forward to). Developers blogs, twitter accounts, even subliminal messages in the Postbag and Players Gallery (which, for some odd reason, seems to happen half-yearly now). [...]

Interesting how one day’s news can change something dramatically. At first, the only pet item in anybody’s house was an unused pet basket in the corner of the kitchen. Now, with some good planning and good design work, there’s now an entire room dedicated to them! Of course, being such an avid constructor, I had to [...] —
