It's been quite a while since the last update! Big MRs back to back takes time going through the new testing processes.

Back to the roots

Tutorial Island was added to 2009scape! I mean the map location was there of course, but a fully functional tutorial Island! The island giving the nostalgic feel for returning players from long ago with the crip early 2009 HD graphics we all droooool over! On the island right away you can fight a NPC to skip the tutorial if you've already relived the process once.

With the addition of Tutorial Island, Hans is finally retired from his duties of making new players ironmen or controlling their experience rates. Now the Wizard at the end of the tutorial will take care of all of that for you!

Part of the Tribe

A brand new crisptastic quest called Tribal Totem has landed in our laps ladies and gentlmen. Head over to the Shrimp and Parrot Inn in Brimhaven and talk to a guy named Kangai Mau who can show you the way.

Ceikry makes a Grand Exchange

A Rework of the Grand Exchange has landed in 2009scape's Lap making this a huge feature rich update. With this update, the game will crash less and people's items will stay where they belong.

• The ::ge selling and ::ge buying commands had an interface overhaul with the beautiful stock number and value right next to each other.
• The Adventure Bots got a brand new command for you to try out. ::ge bots will open up what the bots are selling and ::ge botsearch will allow you to search for an item that the bots may be selling.

Java this or that?

For the longest while we have made you use Java v1.8 but now you are able to use verson 11 to run your game. You are still able to run 8 but if you choose to run a personal server make sure your gradle is using 11. The day soon is coming where java versions will not matter but not quite there just yet!

Time to Shop?

Yet another addition to how many improvements can we make to the game in one update! woohoo! This time around we have a full rewrite to the shop system.

• Shop restocking now works properly, with per-item-in-shop granularity as well. (Thanos tool update released that allows defining this).
• Shops properly restrict ironmen from buying from player stock/overstocked items.
• Fully functioning individualized player stock support (need to set a server config variable to enable, disabled by default. Specifically, set personalized_shops = true in the world section of the config.)
• The shop pricing formula now scales up/down with the authentic ratios based on stock quantity.
• Buying or selling, for example, 1000 of an item, now does the proper calculation for each individual item in the purchase/sale rather than exchanging the full 1000 for the initial price at the time. (For example, in the old shops, feather price at full stock was, say, 6gp. You could buy 1000 feathers at once for 6000gp. Authentically, the pricing for each feather should scale as the stock goes down. Now 1000 feathers at once costs a bit over 7k gp, despite the initial price remaining 6gp.)
• General store player stock is now shared between all general stores
