Hello everyone!

It's time for our annual Easter Event. This is your chance to get your hands on old and new rare items. You no longer lose your items for deaths outside the wilderness. There's also been a generalization to interface colors and we've improved our bot detection system. Have a look at various sections below for more details on specific changes.

Easter Event - Bunny Hunt
Our annual Easter event returns! The Easter bunny calls for help in order to find her little boy Justin who runs away every now and then. Finding him rewards you with easter eggs that can be eaten for unique rewards.

These include items from the super rare item pool that can include one of the following items:

• Bunny ears
• Bow-sword
• Bug lantern
• Candy cane
• Salty claws hat
• Dagon'hai robe top, bottom & hat
• Gorilla mask
• Gilded scarf
• Meat tenderizer
• Pet rock
• Sandbag (new)

The event is starting today, April 4th and goes until May 4th. Good luck on your rare item hunt and May the 4th be with you!

Death Rework - Loot Coffin
I've reworked the way death works outside the wilderness. Your items no longer drop on the ground but are placed inside a Loot Coffin in Lumbridge. It works the same way as getting drops in dungeons. Your items are placed inside the coffin and you decide when to withdraw them. That persists through updates but not through multiple deaths. The items you don't take out will be deleted on your next death! Lady table is managing the coffin and requires you to pay a fee of 5% of the item value in order to retrieve it. Any item that's worth less than 100k can be withdrawn for free. The fee cannot exceed a maximum of 500k per item. You are no longer teleported to your home location upon death but to the Lumbridge graveyard.


Interface Color Code
The colors of various interfaces have been unified. The aim of this change is to have a re-usable color palette for all interfaces in the game. That means that similar text types such as descriptions, headers, buttons, etc. have the same color in all interfaces. Prior to this update most interface text colors have been rather random.

Bot Detection
We're starting to take more serious action against the use of scripts and bots in the game. It used to be a little bit difficult to detect non-user input. There's now an automated bot detection system that will report and log suspicious user actions. The game analyses your playing behaviour and reports anything that is non-human. We've already had great success in finding bots over the past few weeks with this and will now start using the detection as proof for issuing bans.

Game fixes / changes:

• The trade screen has been modernized. Warnings that items have been changed is now shown in the header and the total value of traded items is displayed. Text colors have been updated to match those of other interfaces.
• The superheat spell now considers Coals in the Coal bag.
• When disconnecting in the wilderness during a PvP fight your account will now always stay online for 20 seconds before logging out. There used to be cases where you could logout a lot quicker. You shouldn't be able to escape a fight by just closing your game. We'll have a look at this and further increase the timer if necessary.
• You can now right-click a Grand Exchange transaction and abort it.
• An issue was fixed where the amount of Warrior Guild tokens wouldn't increase with membership or double exp. active.
• The price of Guardian Angel was reduced from 1,000EC to 100EC. The risk of losing items was greatly reduced and thus the cost of fully protecting your items was also greatly reduced.
• The game now supports IPv6 connections. This fixes a problem with the ISP Bezeq from Israel where players used to get constant connection interruptions. The reason for this came from Bezeq constantly changing IPv4 addresses. They are shuffling your IPv4 connection information at random intervals. It took a while to find out what was going on but we were finally able to create a workaround.
• The code to reconnect to the game has been optimized. Losing your connection for a small amount of time now let's you reconnect faster when your account is still online.

I'll now start working on the basics of the Summoning skill. Stay tuned for more info on that!

All the best,
Thomy



Changelog April 7th:

• UIM can no longer bank their items from the loot coffin.
• The chances to obtain a rare item from Easter eggs have been adjusted to match the rarity during the Christmas event. Eating an easter egg now has a 1 in 333 chance for a rare item. Opening a rares chest now has a 1 in 500 chance for a rare item.
• An issue with the Easter event was fixed where you wouldn't get any hints about Justin hiding on Karamja.
