Howdy Scapers,
With a few changes - both intended and unintended - popping up in Monday's release, we wanted to check in and provide more information on what's going on.
Tomorrow morning at 08:45 UTC there will be a short server reset to resolve both the Wandering NPC issue and the Green Skirt Item issue. Check it out here - https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/post-update-check-in-wandering-npcs-green-skirts--item-removals

External link →This is understandable, even if I dislike losing some of my items. But changes like these should be announced before it goes live so players can prepare, maybe take screenshots of their collections. Very sad.
This has been a takeaway action point from this situation for us in the CM team, originally the team who were working on the login flow stuff had been showcasing it on a technical level and we in the CM team missed the minute to minute impact of these changes as we should have realized what this would have meant to players and given a heads up on what was going to happen.
We plan on syncing with teams more directly on things like this that may have unexpected side effects.
Will this fix the yak issue aswell ? Now when you have a yak as fam you crash all the time.
If that issue arrived since this week update potentially but if that had been around prior it would likely require some further investigation.
FYI, some items that were used as equip models during certain animations also got mistakenly deleted with this update (I guess they had login checks mistakenly given to them, despite never being actually obtainable). As a result, those animations no longer play correctly.
At a quick glance (in no way meant to be comprehensive), this includes the Christmas 2005 Marionette handles, and the honey you feed to Baby Sarah during the Meeting History quest.
Should uh, probably double check that any of the other deleted items weren't used by anything. Since I doubt these (plus the dinosaurs) were the only ones mistakenly affected.
Since they got totally deleted yesterday, I am also once again requesting that the basket of eggs (with associated human_skipping_ready and human_skipping_walk animations) and ghost buster 500 be reintroduced as cosmetics at some point.
I would imagine there is a few oddities in the list like the baby dinos that had login checks associated that we are gonna be chasing up as they arise, if you have a list of things you noticed aren't working as expected do feel free to send them over to me to pass along.
