Hello, I hope you all had a very happy Christmas. We're back to work now, and we've just got six new Australian servers online!
Hosted in Sydney, Australia - these servers have a super fast connection to the main Australian and New Zealand ISPs we tried. This means they should provide a better game for our players from that part of the world.
Players outside Australia/New Zealand on the other hand would be best off sticking to their usual servers. The Australian servers are setup to provide the best connection speeds locally, so may be quite slow from the rest of the world.

I am pleased to announce the creation of the new RuneWeb downloads section. The new link is located under the 'Signatures' link in the 'RuneWeb' category.
I am also pleased to announce the release of one of several planned tools is now available for download in the new downloads section. Everyone should head on over there and check it out.

Devious Minds Quest Guide

19 December 2005 - Devious Minds
Of course, no-one likes to miss a good ceremony, least of all a certain lowly monk who will need your assistance! Will you be able to help his dreams come true? With the appearance of a strange new weapon and some Devious Minds, you may find yourself biting off more than you can chew... Head over to the temple on the River Salve and find out!
This quest features some of the highest non-combat skill requirements ever to be released into the game and requires you to have completed Doric's Quest! A strange combination you might think, but is it as strange as the quest itself? We will let you decide...

19 December 2005 - Christmas update for all players
This update is for free and member accounts - Happy Christmas!!
Diango needs help - the Pixie workers whom he hired to help in his workshop aren't working out. They're so accident prone that despite all their hard work, they're getting nothing done. Find Diango down in the Draynor market and he'll tell you where his workshop is. Once there, you’ll need to put together some marionettes and paint some baubles, as well as packing them into the appropriate boxes. Talk to the local pixies for more information on what exactly to do once you're down in the workshop.
Once you've finished at least one box-load of puppets, you'll be required to drop them off at the Taverley Members' Gate, where a familiar face will be waiting for you. Completing boxes of puppets will earn you a special woolly hat! If you want to, complete more boxes for even more rewards. Different hats can be achieved by completing 1,2,4 and 8 boxes.
You can also give some boxes of baubles to Rosie, the pixie supervisor. Completed boxes will earn you a special colourful scarf! As with the puppets, more completed boxes will result in different scarves when you complete 1,2,4 or 8 boxes. Rosie has unfortunately had several problems with Imps invading the workshop and stealing all the baubles, so if you don’t fancy painting them, you can always retrieve them from the Christmas imps hanging around the Varrock Xmas tree. Don’t forget you’ll still need to pack them in boxes before you can give them back to Rosie.
Finally, those pesky Imps have not only stolen Rosie’s baubles, but all the ones from the Varrock tree too. What is it with Imps anyway? Why are they such thieves? Where do they live anyway? Can they fly? If they can teleport, how come they never drop runes when they die? Rest assured, none of those questions will be answered in this update. However, if you take 5 boxes of decorations, you can decorate the tree yourself! Those that do so will find a special marionette for them under the tree.
If you should be unfortunate enough to misplace or lose your marionette, you can get another one from the large box by the ladder to the pixie workshop. Lost scarves and hats can be retrieved from Diango himself.
Please note - The Christmas event will be removed on the 3rd of January. The hats, scarves and gift marionettes will remain for those who've taken the time to help out Diango, Rosie, the mysterious stranger and decorated the tree in Varrock. All player-made marionettes, their component pieces, baubles and boxes containing each will disappear, including the tree itself. The festive imps, the hooded stranger and Diango's hired workforce will also be moving on after another busy Christmas.

Decent update, holiday items are fairly good looking.

Champions, Wyverns and Granite Posted by Firenimmo
Posted at 13th December 2005, 3:47AM (GMT +1100)
Taken from runescape.com:
After several years of neglect, the Champions’ Guild basement has been decorated and has become home to a rather interesting bunch of pugilists, gladiators and general top-notch combatants from all over the known world. If you’re really lucky, you may find that killing the weak and innocent creatures of RuneScape will end up with you being challenged to a duel by the champion of that race. Defeating that warrior will lead to good rewards, and even the possibility of bigger fights in the future. These champions do not challenge just anyone though, and it may take quite some time before they acknowledge your prowess. Do you have what it takes to take down all of these mighty fighters? Find out in the Champions' Challenge!
Around the edges of the arena are sat the Champions of Champions. These champions of champions will only challenge you after you have fought ALL of the lower champions.
The lower champions are far too lowly to have seats in the arena, but they will challenge you when you have made yourself known as an enemy of their race.
Deep in the dungeon where the Blurite glows...
Thurgo stumbled and fell down a hole he had never seen before... and awoke a terrifying creature of bone and ice. At first glance he thought them to be dragons... but when he tried an anti-dragon shield and narrowly escaped with major frostbite, he knew that they were not.
These Wyverns will give a chilly reception to any who dare enter the cave, so you’d best equip yourself with some elemental protection.
You'll need a Slayer level of at least 72 to fight a Skeletal Wyvern.
Just before Thurgo left the dank cave, he caught a familiar glint out of his eye... the glint of rock. Yes, rock does glint to a dwarf... especially granite.

Quest Guide

Taken from runescape.com:
A new village has been discovered in the desert: the village of Nardah, which lies south-east of Pollnivneach. It can be reached by magic carpet from Pollnivneach, and has several useful features: the first desert bank south of the Shantay Pass, a herbalist called Zahur who will identify herbs for 200 coins each (which should be handy for people wishing to trade high-level herbs), and a choc-ice seller (who also sells some chocolate bars). Choc-ices heal health and also stop you from dehydrating as quickly in the desert, though they will sometimes melt in the heat.
Nardah also has a general store, an armourer, a set of anvils and the start of a new quest...
Spirits of the Elid
The people in the desert village of Nardah have a problem: their town well has dried up, and any water they try to bring back to the town from the river mysteriously disappears before they can get it back. The villagers suspect they have been cursed in some way. Can you unravel what is going on and save the village? If you do, you may find out some more about the gods and history of the desert people, and unlock one or two more features in Nardah.
In other news, little green leprechauns have appeared near the farming patches throughout the world. They'll look after some of your farming tools so you won't have to carry so many items when you visit the patches, storing the equipment in their magic shed. Items handed to one leprechaun may be retrieved from any other leprechaun. The leprechauns will look after one rake, seed dibber, spade, gardening trowel, watering can and secateurs as well as storing lots of empty buckets, compost and supercompost.
