Behind The Scenes - April

[lone wolf]

The first of April's updates seems to attract abbreviations: F2P, PvP, OMG - all of these could be used to describe Fist of Guthix, our next combat minigame. We could say that this will be a safe, single-way, Wilderness-based game available to both free players and members, but that would ignore some important details. Attack strategies, defensive tactics, well-timed escapes: Fist of Guthix will employ all of these to create a memorable combat minigame.

There is a massive range of rewards to win for playing Fist of Guthix, so we'll give you a wee teaser. The rune berserker shield, like most of Fist of Guthix's rewards, degrades with use, but it also offers you some hefty defence bonuses and a Strength boost; the battle robe set will sometimes pay for mind, chaos, death or blood runes that you use when casting a combat spell; and the Runecrafting gloves will double the experience you gain from crafting runes of the glove's type!

Well this is only the f2p part of the updates....but it does look very exciting, especially the new items.

please comment.

cheers,

Yes, this does look very interesting.

I can't wait!

yeah the pvp minigame looks fun. i want those gloves that will raise the amount of the rcing xp you get because it goes up so slow.

I hope this will be similar to Castle Wars, that would make F2P Awesome!

Sorry for being kinda cold, but I will move this.

And it certainly does look cool. Being safe can take the fun out of some people though.

I like the strategy needed part, because I like to think I am good at it.

Just try not to get too excited about the rewards. They are really cool, but they can be P2P.

Either way... I'm looking forward to the rune berserker shield.

Str and def bonus' ftw.

[nyk45]

The rune berserker shield is actually the one I am less excited to have...

Skilling rules. lol

they will be members, there is no need for the robes to be F2P unless F2P's can use blood runes. Beserker shield is along the lines of barrows but there will probably be a full set, members. sorry if this made you unhappy but seriously it's almost certain.

it is kool. im looking forward to it

By the look of this, it's not going to be like castle wars. Castle wars is just kill the enemy and get the flag! It's really boring, unless your strong.
Am really looking foward to this, and if the items are P2P only, F2p should just be glad they got anotherI don't think it should be single way, just takes the fun out of it.

[nyk45]

They are going to make rewards for F2P, that I am sure. But the best may be members only.

But the robes may be F2P, but only up to death runes.

The runecrafting gloves are the coolest for me. Especially because I am thinking of training my runecraft.
