Pride Event 2024
Pride has returned to Old School RuneScape, bringing with it a heartwarming event to enjoy. These events are our way of supporting our LGBTQIA+ players and the wider community – so wear your colours with pride as you dive in to our latest event! Your journey begins north of Falador, where you’ll find Kit Breaker and a frankly unworkable amount of luggage. Kit has big dreams of becoming a white knight, but they need your help to get there. This year, you’ll have four whole weeks to help him discover their true calling and embrace what makes him special.

Project Rebalance Changes and Fixes
Last week we made a number of significant changes including the introduction of Elemental Weaknesses, split-up Ranged Defence types and a number of item-specific rebalances. All things considered, we're extremely happy with how the changes landed! We still plan to pay careful attention to balancing over the coming months so we can see the full picture, rather than making knee-jerk changes while the system is still settling. However, we do have a handful of small fixes for bugs introduced in last week’s update. We’ll rip the bandage off early – Flames of Zamorak no longer counts as a Fire spell. Unbeknownst to us, this error has been in the game for about seven years, and we simply overlooked it when it came to Project Rebalance. We’re open to readjusting this designation in future, but we’ll be taking a more measured approach. Over to the Fortis Colosseum now, where the melee Fremennik warbander has been taking two hits to kill instead of one – a noticeable difficulty increase. To offset this, we’re reduced his HP from 50 to 48 so you can now one-shot him in peace. The Elder Maul saw quite a resurgence last week, having displaced the Dragon Warhammer as the best-in-slot for Defence reduction. Sadly, this mighty weapon just didn’t stack up against the humble utility of the, er, regular Hammer. As of this week, you’ll be able to use the Elder Maul to ring the gong outside the Bandosian quarter of the God Wars Dungeon or to build and upgrade the chest in Chambers of Xeric. We’re not sure how you’ll manage that with a hammer whose handle is the size of your entire body, but we expect you’ll do it with extreme caution! In our last change before the usual bunch of smaller fixes, Salarin the Twisted will now respect players’ Magic level. The inner workings of this NPC are a mystery even to us, but in short, he’ll now treat your Strike spells as Bolt spells, which means Wind Strike should now have the same Max Hit as your highest unlocked Bolt spell against this dastardly druid. Salarin has refused to apologise, which we suppose is our fault for making him so twisted in the first place. Finally, some hotfixes and smaller changes:- Removed Water weakness from the revenant pyrefiend, since revenants aren’t supposed to inherit their pre-ghost weaknesses![/*]
- Added a 100% Fire weakness to Hespori.[/*]
- Added Water weakness to superior wyrms and wyrmlings, to match their regular-sized counterparts.[/*]
- Increased the Fire weakness of spiritual creatures in Nex’s prison from 100% to 200%.[/*]
- HOTFIX: The Tome of Fire now calculates damage correctly during games of Last Man Standing.[/*]
- HOTFIX: The Soulreaper Axe no longer periodically suffers from a lower Max Hit.[/*]
Deadman: All-Stars
A couple of weeks ago, we gave all of you a first look at 2024's Deadman: Armageddon. Since then, we've polled a number of main game cosmetic rewards and all of them will be making their way to the game on August 3rd! Behind the scenes, snakey Solo Mission approached us with a pitch we couldn’t refuse, and it’s guaranteed to put you in the Deadman mood. Deadman: All-Stars pits 30 of your favourite creators together in a 5v5v5v5v5v5 (that's six teams of five, in case you weren't counting) week-long battle to the death. Team captains Odablock, Solo Mission, Dino, Torvesta, B0aty and Faux will draft four players from a roster of PvP superstars, including A Cold One, Alfie, Coxie, DitterBitter, Donator, Eliop14, Gunschilli, Jcw, Mazhaw, Mika, MMORPG, Mr. Mammal, Muts, Pip, Port Khazard, Purpp, Raikesy, Rhys, Roidie, Sick Nerd, Skiddler, Skill Specs, V the Victim and Westham. From Friday, June 14th to Saturday, June 22nd, they’ll work to build up their gear and give their team the best odds in a first-of-its-kind Finale format. The Finale will be streamed live on our Twitch channel on Saturday, June 22nd. The twist? Teams will choose an order to send their members out in and fight 1 vs. 1, with the previous bout's winner remaining in the ring to take on their next opponent with whatever supplies they have left over. Deadman: All-stars is a one-of-a-kind event you won’t want to miss, but don’t take our word for it: check out the video below (or click here) to hear all about it from the Serpent King, Solo Mission himself! https://youtu.be/1dLLidzD2Hs?si=Vj8zmhGfdIIeMyofOther Changes
