Hey guys,

The GE is finally going into alpha stage. We'll now be intensively testing it on our test world 3 (no open alpha; only staff will be able to test it). That means that it will be released as soon as all bugs are fixed! The GE release will be split up into 3 phases:

• Initial GE in-game: Ability to buy/sell items over the system in-game
• Price Monitoring: Price estimations on every item that is bought/sold on the GE system
• Homepage Integration: Graphs of price monitoring on the homepage

In other news, I've made a list of changes:

• You now gain additional shooting distance when fighting larger npcs.
• Sometimes when spam-clicking 'Attack' on npcs with Ranged, you'd walk up to them. That's now fixed.
• Jad minigame difficulty decreased. Every monster in the minigame now has 2/3 of its original health. The italian boot safespot was also improved, using it should be easier now.
• All skeletons now count for a skeleton slayer task.
• A bug was fixed where skillcapes disappeared upon using their emote.

All the best,
Thomy
