Taken from RuneScape.com:
New Appointment in Lumbridge
EDIT: QUEST GUIDES UP. Click here and here.
The Duke of Lumbridge has appointed a new advisor, Sigmund, but is already ignoring his advice. Something strange has happened in the castle and Sigmund fears a monster attack.
But helping him is only the first step in a journey that will lead you to new emotes, a new mining area, new fishing spots with new things to catch and finally to the secret of The Lost Tribe.
Keldagrim - The Dwarven City
Long has the ancient dwarven capital of Keldagrim remained hidden beneath the mountains, away from the tumultuous wars of gods and humans, sheltered against the menace of the trolls. But for the past few centuries the dwarven economy has been flourishing under the guidance of the Consortium. Doing away with kings and monarchies, the Consortium is a group of mining companies that rules the dwarven realm. Now, Keldagrim even welcomes humans again!
Apart from the general hustle and bustle of the dwarven capital, you will find many of the things you would expect in a vast city like Keldagrim. New items in shops, new types of guards, new marketstalls to thieve from, and much more! The city also introduces the player to new minitasks. Either run errands for the different mining companies to earn their favour, or help out different citizens all around Keldagrim. Get them the items they need in time and they might even have a thing or two to teach you about them as well!
The city also introduces the first part of a new multipart quest, the Rise of the Red Axe! It kicks off with The Giant Dwarf... who, or indeed, what is The Giant Dwarf? Find out by going to the city, but make sure you enter it on high-detail mode for full effect!
To see all of this, visit the boatman in the caves east of Rellekka and north of the mountain camp. Just follow the dwarven statues until you get to the underground river. Too far to walk every time? Don't worry, once you've visited the city you will be allowed to use the dwarves' steam powered cart network! That's right, apart from all of the above, Keldagrim also introduces ridable mine carts.
So hurry over right now and see everything the new dwarf city has to offer!
New Emotes And Other Tweaks
We've added a lot of new emotes to the game. Now you can express yourself with anything from a shrug to a jump for joy, or try out the new dancing moves like dance, spin and head bang. Two of the emotes are unlocked during the Lost Tribe quest, but the others are available immediately to everyone, including non-members.
The female models in the game have had a slight 'nip and tuck' to make the difference between male and female characters more obvious. The changes are subtle, but should help add a little more personal identity to your adventurer.
No new items have been created just for the female characters.
Due to popular demand, the "brown cavalier" hat has now become the "tanned cavalier" hat.
Again, this is just a renaming and is not a new item.
Additionally, the Mort'ton boat now has a faster "right-click" option.
2 new RuneScape rules
We have added two new rules to the RuneScape Rules of Conduct today. They are:
Rule 13 Asking for personal details
For our players' privacy and safety, you must not ask for personal contact details such as full name, home address or telephone number from another player.
Our player's privacy and safety are extremely important to us and something we take very seriously. Of course we are not going to ban players if you ask, for example someone's first name and the country they live in. We fully understand this happens quite a lot in RuneScape and is part of making friends in the game.
This rule instead refers to not asking players for details sufficient to locate them in real-life. Understandably some people can be upset or feel threatened by this sort of questioning, so please don't do it.
We would also recommend to all of our players to that you read the Play Safely guide in the Rules and Security section of the website.
Rule 14 Misuse of Official forums
You must not misuse our Official RuneScape Forums. The forum code of conduct (linked at the top of the forums) clearly details what is, and is not, acceptable.
This particular rule is not actually totally new. We have always taken action against players who misuse our forums and clearly breach the forums code of conduct. By making it an official rule it should make it clearer for our players that being disruptive on the forums will mean that temporary action can be taken against your account and in extreme cases you could be banned from using the forums.

Well, the 28th came and went, and I didn't finish the content.
We'll have it done next week.
Note that the only reason I'm doing this is because I really do not want to pull off a Jagex and say it's done when it's done. That's just kind of annoying.
Calculators Fixed

The calculators have been fixed ... if anyone has been experiencing problems in the last 24 hours, try again -- the URL for the hiscores was updated, so we had a delayed update.
Skills Index

I have decided to make the RuneScape Skills Index sooner than later, even though it'll make the side look bare until we get Miscellaneous Guides done.
I thought the skills just being randomly after the other 3 items just looked very sloppy. So do not fear, we have not lost any information because it looks like less, we just compressed it into another index.
Thanks,
Seiferoth
Discuss your thoughts on whether we should revert back to listing or not until we have Misc. Guides up Here
Release Date Postponed

Unfortunately, the release date for RuneWeb has been postponed until further notice. The drop party may or may not still exist, I am not the one that you should ask for this information.
There has been a TON of work put into RuneWeb thus far and we do not want to see it go to waste. Lately the staff of RuneWeb has encountered personal obligations that they must attend to, and a ton of stress that needs to be released. Therefore, it must be announced that an official release date for RuneWeb does not exist as of today. The site will still be updated constantly, but a full-blown release is not ready yet.
I'll keep you posted on the status of this announcement.

Note that all content will be complete by the 28th. I've put my own word on the line. -FireballX301
