Magic Carpet Ride Posted by Seiferoth

Taken from Runescape.com:
Great news for the desert economy as stocks in kebabs, camels and sand soared due to today's announcement by Ali Morrisane of a new runestone-free rapid transport system for the Kharidian desert. This lays to rest the speculation that had been mounting recently about magic carpets, something not seen in these parts since the great carpet crash of '76*, making their way back into mainstream desert life.
A spokesgnome from Gnome-Air, previously RuneScape's only airline, was sceptical of Mr Morrisane's latest venture. "It will never take off." was the response by the airline's P.R. executive when questioned about the enterprise.
Mr Morrisane announced that, once the carpets are fully operational, 7 routes will be available to customers, with Pollnivneach and the Shantay Pass acting as travel hubs.
Entrepreneurs throughout the region are rubbing their hands in the expectation of a bumper week of trade, as experts have predicted a large stream of adventurers and tourists visiting the area in order to investigate these magic carpets.
In Other News
The inventory images of trimmed body armour have been tweaked slightly so as to match the worn models.
We've improved the part of the Tree Gnome Village quest where you use the ballista to breach the Khazard stronghold, so if you're guiding a friend through the quest, please be aware that this section has changed.
It will no longer be possible to take Rogue armour to places where armour is restricted, such as Entrana.
Players may now hand the ogre composite bow to Rantz for him to check the number of chompy birds you've killed. Previously he would only do this if you handed him the standard ogre bow used in the Big Chompybird Hunting quest.
* The Great carpet crash of '76:
The grand Sultan of Al Kharid tragically died after he mistook a doormat for his racing rug and plummeted to his death when he jumped off an upper tower of the palace. This led to concerned citizens demanding a halt to all carpet travel, something that occurred but was never written down as law.

Behind The Scenes - July Posted by Seiferoth

Taken from Runescape.com:
This month will bring a variety of exciting updates, including: efficient desert travel, the next part to the popular Ardougne Plague series (Biohazard, Regicide etc), the release of the farming skill, farming shops, new beverages, new food, new training areas, statue-stealing, the Queen of Varrock and the Gnomic "surface to sheep paintball launcher".
Furious debates have been heard in Gnome trees thanks to the emergence of Alis magic carpets, the popular new transport option for the desert. King Narnode himself is said to be furious following a very unproductive meeting with Ali Morrisane which the king managed to leave with no concessions or clear air boundaries, but did buy a nice new set of toothpicks and a bucket and spade. And some sand. Gnome politicians are said to be calling for the early resignation of the king and demanding he does not stand for another term in next year's Gnome Elections*.
In other more distant lands, the mystery surrounding the Ardougne plague is beginning to unravel. Residents of the Isafdar woods have discovered gas masks and freshly picked dwellberries on the western side of the Underground Pass. Did the sickness originate from the elves of Tirannwn? Why do grizzly bears always wink when you walk past them? Did Iban's madness affect Koftik more than previously thought? Is Councillor Halgrive really the son of King Vargas of Miscellania? Will Dr Orbon's elaborate plague suit scheme finally be exposed? Is the writer of this Behind the Scenes article just generating red herrings? Wait just a few weeks and find out!
And then there is farming too. The addition of farming to the game will be the biggest update so far this year, with hundreds of new items, new crafting options, over 20 additions to the cooking skill, new weapon poisons, scarecrows and just to top it all off we have reworked a vast amount of the gameworld to include our new farming patches, all of which will be marked on the map. We have even given purpose to the giant farm building just north of Port Sarim. And to encourage you all to farm just a little bit more, we are also releasing a quest at the end of the month with a heavy gardening theme to it. Would you help a stressed-out member of the RuneScape royalty relax in a purpose-built garden or would you just point and laugh? The choice is yours.
Enjoy, and dont get your fingers caught in the compost bin.

*Yes, Gnome Kings are elected just like modern-day politicians. No, it's not a mistake.

:O! Well the dude they call Seiferoth (Roth) is 20 (in the US). Everyone make fun of him and call him names because he isn't 21. At all. And never will be.

For one reason or another, we are currently experiencing slow server response time for the http daemon. We are currently working on the problem and hope to have it resolved as soon as we can.
Until then, please ignore the semi-slowness of the site.
