PHP Skill Calculators Released Posted by Seiferoth

Click Here for Skill Calculators
Finally, The Calculators are here for you to use! I brushed them up fixing some of the incorrect experience on some and adding things we didn't have, but we're still missing bits of info here and there. Don't fret, We'll have it all soon! ;)
You can either enter your runescape name, and it'll gather the exp on the hiscores currently or enter the exp yourself and choose what level you want and "Bam!" - It tells you what you need to do.
Thanks to Catatifish, Firenimmo, joho & Dewey for writing the godly Calculators.

15th February 2005 - Ghosts Ahoy and Slayer Update
Ghosts Ahoy!
The Morytania swamp waters have further receeded, providing access to a town called Port Phasmatys. Head eastwards from Canifis, and provided you can survive the vampires and leeches in the swamps, you should have no trouble finding the place.
Port Phasmatys itself has many of the facilities you would expect in a thriving RuneScape town, including a bank, a furnace, an inn and a general store. However, unlike most RuneScape towns, Port Phasmatys is almost entirely populated by ghosts. The citizens of Port Phasmatys have unwittingly consigned themselves to an immortal existence, trapped forever in this world as unwilling ghosts.
Players can try and help resolve this tragic situation in the Ghosts Ahoy quest. Necrovarus, Lord of the Temple of Phasmatys, holds the key to the door into the next world. Can you convince him to open it and set the trapped souls free?
To the north of the town is the Ectofunctus. This provides a way to get more prayer experience from the various bones in the game. It is also a source of ectotokens, used as currency by many of the local ghosts. Speak to the ghost disciples and they will give you more details about how to use the Ectofunctus.
Slayer Reassignment
Thank you for all the constructive feedback we have received on the slayer skill.
Players can now get a replacement task for their slayer assignment if they really don't like the one they have been given.
We didn't want to make it so that people could just keep on rejecting their assignment until they got given the creature they wanted to train on anyway. Part of our aim for the slayer skill was to increase the variety in combat training and give players an incentive to explore new training areas. That is an element we are very keen to keep.
Therefore you can only get a new assignment from the slayer master in Burthorpe, whose tasks are aimed at the lowest level players. If you have already been given an assignment which the Burthorpe slayer master could give anyway then he won't give you another one.
Due to the way we had to code the reassignment, people who got an assignment from the Burthorpe slayer master before this update will be able to get one free reassignment, this is not a bug. After that one free reassignment they will not be able to replace one Burthorpe assignment with another.
It is also worth noting that the Burthorpe slayer master will sometimes tell you to kill Kalphites. Do not worry, this does not mean you will have to kill the extremely strong Kalphite Queen. There are lots of lower level Kalphites in the game.

Server Problems Posted by Catatifish
Posted at 13th February 2005, 12:31AM GMT
We are extremely sorry about the server problems on Friday and part of today. It seems that the database server could not handle all of the requests that we and/or other users on our server were recieving, and since our site runs mostly off databases we were forced to shut down for a day or two. A backup database will most likely be instituted on another server just to be safe next time.
Thanks,
RuneWeb Staff

We've just finished another round of upgrades on our servers to keep up with the number of people playing RuneScape.
We've just put 9 new worlds online. 8 of them are located in St Louis which is another new location for us. We've also added another world to the UK, and moved world 42 to be a members world.
The net result of all this is:
# free users have 4 more worlds
# members have 5 more worlds
Enjoy the extra space!
