Update from Aug 18 2024

This update reintroduces the Shooting Stars minigame and implements a significant overhaul to the instance system aimed at fixing item pickup and object interaction issues. The update also includes a new YouTuber teleport and Grand Exchange access protection during server reboots.

Shooting stars are back

They will fall once per hour and last for a fixed amount of time before disappearing. Stardust will continue to be able to be spent at the Star Sprite next to the Makeover Mage west of home.

Instances overhaul

The way that instances are handled has been significantly overhauled. This is in an effort to:

  • Prevent the issues where items are no longer able to be picked up in an instance
  • Prevent the issues where objects are no longer able to be clicked

This is a somewhat risky change, but from our extensive internal testing, we weren't able to recreate any of the previous issues. We will be closely monitoring this.

Other changes

  • ::beastk now takes you to BeastK's YouTuber channel
  • Players will no longer be able to use the Grand Exchange right when we're about to reboot the server
