New Roving Elves Quest Posted by Catatifish

Roving Elves Quest Guide
Taken from runescape.com:
Today we have released a new quest which expands the story started in the Waterfall quest.
A fellowship of elves has recently started travelling in the elven woods of Isafdar. The beautiful Eluned is happy to help anyone, but her companion, Islwyn, is not quite so friendly.
To help him overcome his dislike of humans you must set right the wrongs committed against his family in the Roving Elves Quest.
----------
With this news comes new items. The stats for the newest items are now in the database, but thge images are not however; I broke my outputter yesterday while making it automatic, so I'll get those up as soon as I can.
Also, the Abyssal Whip and Granite Maul have been removed from the database, as they have apparently been removed from the client.

Item Database Posted by Catatifish
Posted at 6th February 2005, 3:50AM GMT
I am pleased to announce that I have finally gotten un-lazy for about 15 minutes and wrote a quick interface for the Item Database. It currently features all 4204 items and item images. The search returns 5 results, which are based on a 'score' given to it by matching the query.
Anyway, it can be reached at http://www.runeweb.net/index.php?page=pub_item_search
I am aware the interface sucks at the moment, but I felt I needed to at least do something :).
I am also working on a little surprise that I think most people will like (except Jagex :()

Creature of Fenkenstrain
Dr Fenkenstrain, master and sole occupant of the castle to the northeast of Canifis, needs a new servant to go on a dark errand for him. Do you have the stomach to help Fenkenstrain and his twisted purpose?
Agility area
A werewolf agility area has opened beneath the Haunted Woods of Morytania. There is a level 60 obstacle course and a level 25 skullball course. Beware, though - the agility area is for werewolves only.
Slayer changes
People have told us they don't like how in multicombat areas they could do most of the damage to a creature and then someone would deal the killing blow and be counted as the slayer of the creature.
We have changed this. Now both the person who dealt the killing blow and the person who did the most damage will be counted as the slayer for the purposes of their kill counts. (If you did both these things you will only count as having killed the creature once though.) The slayer xp will be split evenly between the two players.
Giants have been renamed to hill giants. This is to make it clear that when the slayer masters tell you to kill hill giants, they don't mean moss giants, fire giants or ice giants.
We have added more hill giants and hellhounds to cope with the increased demand for these creatures that has been created by the slayer skill. There are now more hellhounds in the Taverley dungeon and some south of the Wilderness axe hut. There are hill giants added to the north of the observatory and south-west of the gnome stronghold.
People may have noticed last week we also decreased the totals of bronze dragons and steel dragons being assigned to decrease crowding on those creatures.
Prayer books
You can now check your prayer books to see which pages you have added. Just right click on them and choose the "check" option".

Server Problems Posted by Catatifish
Posted at 27th January 2005, 2:14AM GMT
Well as some of you may or may not have noticed, there are 403 [Forbidden] errors floating around random spots and places. If you come across one, refresh the page and it should be back to normal. However, these random 403 errors stop the item images from working correctly, so don't be surprised that only half the images load. We are currently working on the situation.

26th January 2005 - Californian Worlds Renamed
We've just renamed our United-Layer, Peer1, AboveNet, and Nlayer worlds to indicate where in the US they are located.
Since these worlds are all in the same state, they were originally named by which Internet backbone they are on, which can make quite a big difference too.
However since then RuneScape has grown quite a bit, and we now have worlds all over the US! So it seems more sensible to just name all the worlds by their location, especially since lots of players have been asking why we don't have worlds in California.
Nothing has actually changed :) The performance and the way these worlds work is exactly the same as before. They are just named differently.
Thanks
Andrew

Freak the hell out because OH MAN new server names, now we can all stop sending in e-mails about it.
