An important message about the early hours of this update...
It’s pretty major work to take a significant area of the game and transform the way it looks and operates. An update like this will therefore bring with it some risks. We want to be ready – even over-prepared – for the unexpected.
When the update deploys, we will be taking our Worlds down for a few minutes to take a snapshot: a picture of your account, who owns what, etc.
If any major issues occur, we will then have this snapshot to roll back to if absolutely necessary.
For this reason, we recommend that up until 16:00 Game Time you do not take part in any activities where you might gain something valuable that would be painful to lose.
Again, we don't expect anything bad to happen, but it may be best to remain cautious!
Update on Livestreams
As we've not had one for a couple weeks, I just wanted to let you know we are looking to potentially get some Livestreams out this week (and we're working on a Q&A for the near future too - we're working things out around people's holidays).
Given this is a major update, we didn't want to commit to a stream in the TWIR this week that we may end up cancelling or rescheduling if the team have bigger hotfix priorities. We'll keep you updated on it as we'd love to hop on a stream this week to talk about Wilderness!
Good morning. Getting a 404 when clicking the link.
Edit: "e" from "runescape" missing in link at the end.
Thank you! Just fixed it - takes a while for the URL shortener to reflect the change but it'll update.
Link is broken, missing an
eat the end. Fixed: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/wilderness-reborn--new-quest---this-week-in-runescape
Fixed now, just takes a little to reflect for those who already clicked it. Thank you for the callout!
Snapshot is complete and Worlds are online!
