[+] Mystery Boxes

- A few people have been asking what you can get from these, and a drop list. It's a mystery.. box. The drop list will never be released.
- Removed all Cosmetic Rares from Mystery boxes, plenty floating around.
- Spider legs, Malevolent Energy, Tectonic Energy & Sirenic Scales added to the Very Rare table.
- A few may dislike this, we need to get good armour circulating so that people are interested in PVMing, instead of skilling.
- It won't be like this forever, once you get it though, I'm sure you'll enjoy the change.
- Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond & Master Mystery Boxes added. These will be awarded for reaching the next rank of Donor. They are not available right now. However, will be in the future. And anyone with a rank will receive the respected Box associated with that donor rank.

- Snape Crass added to Cave Crawlers, Cockatrice and Basilisks

[+] Donor Benefits (OMG!)

- If you're not excited by these you're dead inside.
- Bronze Donors now have access to Nurmof! He's a little dwarf that roams Member's Zone and has a great store containing helpful items for your Journey. The prices are currently off and they will be increased, so reap his benefits while you can.
- Platinum Donors will have access to a Barbarian guy, forgot the name, he also has these items however, they are noted. And have a much higher stock, so it's easier to buy. In this store you can also find the 'perfect' ring.
- This Ring while worn has all-around stats, it's approximately a Bring (i)/Seers ring (i)/Archers ring all combined minus a few stats. It also gives you a 4% chance to double the drop you get from monsters. That means if you get Bandos tassets and this triggers, you'll get 2...!
- Gold Members+ Now have the ability to toggle all Bones and Ashes dropped noting! So whenever you kill a dragon or a demon/stryewyrm the ashes/bones will drop noted. Making it much easier to get those prayer levels.
- Diamond Members+ Now have the ability to toggle all drops noting..?! This means that if you kill any monster, you'll get noted drops. Have fun camping stuff for days without your invent ever filling.

- Platinum Donors+ now have access to a Custom Instance. The portal located in ;;pz or the Platinum Member's Zone can open an instance for the following Creatures: Graardor, Kree'arra, Zilyana, K'ril, Kalphite Queen, King Black Dragon, Chaos Elemental, Dagannoth Rex, Prime & Supreme, Tormented demons, Ganodermic Beasts, Dark Beasts, Abyssal Demons, Rune, Mithril, Steel, Iron and Celestial dragons, Kal'gerion Demons, Automaton Tracer, Guardian and Generator, Hydrix, Onyx and Dragonstone Dragons..!
Have fun ? All GWD1 bosses come with no minions as well. Bosses spawn 1, Slayer Creatures spawn 6.

[+] Gambling

- As you all know Gambling is a sensitive topic, there will be a large Forums post about it this weekend, be sure to check it out.
- It will give insight into our views and the future & also contain a poll.

Nice work to all. 

[ely sia n 57]

Not only is this update going to end up being one of the best for a while for content coming into the game, but it's such an improvement to the quality of life for all players regardless of mode/ironman status. Well needed update, and looking forward to what happens now! Good job everyone who worked on it.

Araxxor????

Nice Updates.

So plats have access to both shops...so Why are there the SAME ITEMS in 2 Different shops....

:CONFUSED:

Seriously, Be more creative when making these shops, i feel no thought has gone into these.
"plats can buy the same items as bronze donars but in noted form..."

Not unique at all, every new shop we get or any new thing thats added its all the same content, there are no new items or exclusive items for said donars to show off their appreciation for their contribution to the server.
Please Re-evaluate the store(s) and think more creativly when making these. theres 100s of items that are in runescape that just arent being used, yet you fill up both shops with the same items (For instance...Fighter Torso)

Trvia 50 points mystery box

Vote shop 10 points.

bronze donor shop mystery box 50m!? they sell for 15-20m?? EDIT

Seems little thought went into that escapade

I myself would just leave the mystery boxes as rewards from dailies/achievements and voting and VPstore.

The exchange rate on them is nice, and think adding them all over the place like they have been, really just makes them redundant and seem less appealing that what the price tag says. 50 trivia points equivalent to 10-15m. I don't personally think so.

Again like @Oasis has said above a bit more creativity? Potentially a community poll to see what could possibly be added, get ideas from those willing to interject their own opinion. We like cosmetics. But something more practical at realistically the beginning of a server maybe not the best move, but nonetheless great work.

I agree with Jad, I know the instance thing is a huge thing for plats and noted drops for diamonds is a huge thing also, but I really do not understand why the plat shop is the exact same as bronze. It does not make sense.

Help us figure out what should be in there then. You've got access to the Platinum shop... So... What do you think should be in there? Rather then yelling no creativity, that's not really a helpful statement at all. Constructive criticism is much more preferred.

Its not the fact that i want to decide what goes in there all im saying is that there are the same items in both shops, but noted.
my 2 cents will only work when i have other platinum members input. therefore as stated above, a poll / questionnaire would've been a better approach before the stores were made 

[Jaedmo 781]

It's almost like I asked what should go in the shops 5 times~ and got no responses. Understand that this is the first time it's been released? It's not going to be like that forever, instead of whining offer alternatives. Yikes.
