RuneScape Classic goes Pay-to-Play Posted by Firenimmo
Posted at 4th August 2005, 0:41AM (GMT +1000)
Taken from runescape.com:
We had planned on keeping RS-Classic around as a fun little nostalgia trip for people who wanted to see what the game was once like. However that idea is currently being spoiled by some irresponsible players who just see it as good place to cause trouble. We're not happy with this, so we are taking steps to clean it up so our loyal players can enjoy it properly. This is the first step in achieving that. You won't see it improve massively overnight, but this makes it much easier for us to kick out the troublemakers and make sure they actually stay out, rather than coming back. So in the long run there should be a big improvement.
If you wish to play for free we recommend you play our main RuneScape game instead. We would like to reassure our users that we have absolutely NO intention whatsoever of removing the free version of our main game.
The main version of RuneScape was designed from the ground up to have far better monitoring and protection systems. It is regularly updated anyway, and also being our main game means there is a bigger team looking after it. All this means it's possible for us to run and police a free version of the main RuneScape far more easily and affordably. So we've decided it makes most sense to make that our main free offering. You can expect the free version of the main game to continue to be available for years to come.

Due to popular demand, we've worked out a way to further increase the bank space we are able to offer to our members.
This means you can now store an extra 48 items in your bank.

Waterbirth Island Posted by Seiferoth

Taken from Runescape.com:
Recently travellers passing through the Fremennik Province of Rellekka have mentioned some kind of commotion happening on the nearby Waterbirth Island. The normally picturesque beauty spot seems to have been overrun by a swarm of monsters, although the distrustful Fremenniks are giving little information away to outsiders.
Those adventurers wishing to take on the challenge of a mysterious new dungeon, and possibly discover some new class-specific armours, should head immediately to Rellekka and speak to Jarvald, the new ferryman on the north-western side of town, who will provide passage to Waterbirth Island for all interested in joining the battle, whether they be a Fremennik or not.
In other news...
The Enchanted Lyre teleports to Rellekka have been slightly tweaked: offerings of raw shark will now give you 2 teleports to Rellekka before your lyre needs re-enchanting, but offerings of sea turtles and manta rays will allow you 3 or 4 teleports before you need to re-enchant your lyre.
All people with enchanted lyres before this update will have their lyre upgraded to have 2 uses automatically when they next log in.
Adventurers are reporting sightings of new random events throughout RuneScape, including armies of frogs, repentant highwaymen, freaky foresters and the world's most dangerous chicken. So keep your eyes peeled for the unexpected... Details of the new events are available in the manual.
We've also added an extra 48 bank slots for members and made a slight improvement to the stats of splitbark armour.

This is a hidden mini-quest added in by JAGeX yesterday without posting a news item as a surprise, quite interesting indeed.
