ADDITIONAL CHANGES
Things that were not fixed, but just changed.
|===| |-------------------------------------| |===|
\|-------------------------------------|/
(2/2/04)
Many animations, no longer cause unnecessary additional delays in game play. In 1 or 2 cases we have even removed an animation entirely. Things which we have speeded up with this update include.
Picking objects up
Dropping object
Using spinning wheels
Cooking on fires and ranges
Grain picking
Potato Picking
Glass making
Pottery
Smelting
Bone Burying
Opening cupboards and chests
Chest thieving
Ladder and stairs climbing
None of the above no longer take any more time than in Runescape 1.
We will be continue to be making adjustments on various aspects of the game such as the above. Our intention is certainly not to make the game slower.
We are continuing to add sounds to many aspects of the game.
We have fixed a number of bugs which we shall detail shortly in another news item.
-------------------------------------
(1/21/04)
-Sound effects
We have started to add various sound effects to the game, expect more to be added over time as well as some adjustments to the ones we have already added.
-------------------------------------
(12/18/03)
-The family crest quest is now available
-Added the king black dragon
-It is possible to rearrange your inventory/bank - just drag the items!
-Large stacks of objects on the ground work a lot better now
-Pointing at a player shows you their name without needing to right click
-NPCs,objects & players have larger click area, making them easier to click
-------------------------------------
(12/14/03)
-Cut out some unnessecary speech on some shopkeepers
-Made lesser demons not block
-Made baby blue dragons drop a new sort of bone called babydragon bones
-Removed some annoying fences

New RS2 Features!
This section displays all the new things added to RS2
that were not in RS1, or they were done differently in RS1.
|===| |-------------------------------------| |===|
\|-------------------------------------|/
(1/21/04)
-3 quests and a mini game
We have now uploaded the Hero's quest, Tribal totem , the fishing competition and the trawler mini game
-Rangers' Guild
New to Runscape 2 - just east of Hemenster comes the Rangers' Guild, complete with new shops, a training area and an archery target mini game.
-------------------------------------
(1/7/04)
-Hair and clothing makeovers
You can now change the base appearance of your character. Speak to Thessalia in the Varrock clothes shop, or the hairdresser in Falador, pay some money and choose your new style. Expect more characters who can provide more makeover options in future updates.
-Running
Your character can now run which makes you move twice as fast. To run choose the option in the new 'player options' menu. Alternatively just hold down 'control' on your keyboard when you click to walk. You can't run constantly, and will need to take occasional breaks. How long you can run for depends on how much you are carrying, and how fast your energy restores depends on your agility.
-Auto retaliate on/off
Before your character would always turn to attack a monster who was attacking. Now however you can turn the auto retaliate option off. This means you can continue mining and ignore the insignificant spider that is under the delusion that it can eat you. Also useful if you are a mage and don't want your character to chase after someone with melee combat.
-Emote animations
The new 'player options' menu contains several buttons to make your character perform all sorts of actions: clapping, waving, bowing and many more.

Things that were not fixed, but just changed.

\|-------------------------------------|/
(2/2/04)
Many animations, no longer cause unnecessary additional delays in game play. In 1 or 2 cases we have even removed an animation entirely. Things which we have speeded up with this update include.
Picking objects up
Dropping object
Using spinning wheels
Cooking on fires and ranges
Grain picking
Potato Picking
Glass making
Pottery
Smelting
Bone Burying
Opening cupboards and chests
Chest thieving
Ladder and stairs climbing
None of the above no longer take any more time than in Runescape 1.
We will be continue to be making adjustments on various aspects of the game such as the above. Our intention is certainly not to make the game slower.
We are continuing to add sounds to many aspects of the game.
We have fixed a number of bugs which we shall detail shortly in another news item.

New RS2 Features!
This section displays all the new things added to RS2

|===| |-------------------------------------| |===|
\|-------------------------------------|/
(1/21/04)
-3 quests and a mini game
We have now uploaded the Hero's quest, Tribal totem , the fishing competition and the trawler mini game
-Rangers' Guild
New to Runscape 2 - just east of Hemenster comes the Rangers' Guild, complete with new shops, a training area and an archery target mini game.
-------------------------------------
(1/7/04)
-Hair and clothing makeovers
You can now change the base appearance of your character. Speak to Thessalia in the Varrock clothes shop, or the hairdresser in Falador, pay some money and choose your new style. Expect more characters who can provide more makeover options in future updates.
-Running
Your character can now run which makes you move twice as fast. To run choose the option in the new 'player options' menu. Alternatively just hold down 'control' on your keyboard when you click to walk. You can't run constantly, and will need to take occasional breaks. How long you can run for depends on how much you are carrying, and how fast your energy restores depends on your agility.
-Auto retaliate on/off
Before your character would always turn to attack a monster who was attacking. Now however you can turn the auto retaliate option off. This means you can continue mining and ignore the insignificant spider that is under the delusion that it can eat you. Also useful if you are a mage and don't want your character to chase after someone with melee combat.
-Emote animations
The new 'player options' menu contains several buttons to make your character perform all sorts of actions: clapping, waving, bowing and many more.
