29-Oct-2010 – New Herald Article
Hello all! In the spirit of our current skill week, I've taken the liberty of writing a short article on why Dungeoneering can be an enjoyable skill. You can find it in the Global RuneScape Herald!
Feel free to discuss it here after reading. Is it enjoyable to you?
"Dungeoneering is controversial, challenging, and enjoyable. This latest Herald entry gives insight into why it is enjoyable to a large portion of the RuneScape community. Enjoy the read!"

15-Oct-2010 – Mining Training Guide (F2P)
Since the Woodcutting Training Guide has been released, me and Kevin have been at hard work with a new guide. I present you with the newly finished, hot of the press Mining Training Guide (F2P)! This guide was written by myself (Deathen Shada), and Kevin. Special Thanks to Rank Penguin for the beautiful animated picture you see below, and Anna Molly for the use of certain parts of his never finished Mining Training Guide. So everyone have a look and the new guide, and have a blast mining! If you find any errors or bugs, please send me a Private Message (PM) and I will try to fix it ASAP
Mining, it's what makes the RuneScape economy go round. Without it you wouldn't have your Runite Platelegs or the limestone bricks for your house. This is one of the best ways to make money in the game. A single Runite Ore is worth up to 13k! In this guide we will cover how to get you the leet cape and where the best training spots are. We will be covering free to play methods only!

30-Sep-2010 – Aliensvortex's Trip to Jagex and RuneFest
Hello all! As many of you may already know, I was invited by Jagex to the real-life RuneScape event organized by Jagex, RuneFest 2010, in London. During my stay, I also got to visit the Jagex offices. Head over to the Herald to read about my trip to Jagex and RuneFest.
After you've read the article, feel free to ask me any questions in this thread. I may also post more images in the thread, as I have lots of images that I chose not to add to the article in order to not make it too long.
Enjoy!

26-Sep-2010 – Firemaking Training Guide
Once again, our very own Content Team Members have got together and written a guide. So everyone please congratulate Kevin, Rebel007, and myself (Deathen Shada) on the making of this wonderful guide. So everyone pop on over and have a look at the brand new Firemaking Training Guide!
The Firemaking cape is one of the more common skillcapes you will see around Runescape. It is an easy skill, involving only logs, a tinderbox, and a decent amount of time and patience. There are a few different ways we want to show you how to save money, or shorten the time it takes to get 99 Firemaking. We'd also like to go over the different locations that are best for training. This will include both F2P and P2P locations.

21-Sep-2010 – Gunnar's Ground Quest Guide
Hello all! We've just released a quest guide for the latest quest in RuneScape, Gunnar's Ground. Note that this is a rather short and easy quest, and for most players, it should be easy enough to complete without a guide.
A smitten dwarf sits lone, forlorn;
His love full-formed but lost.
Will you help to guide his path and
Uncross a love star-crossed?
Since this quest has replaced the Romeo and Juliet quest, we've removed Romeo and Juliet from the list of quest guides. If you want to know more about why Jagex decided to remove Romeo and Juliet, see this blog post by Mod Mark.

We're happy to announce that we've just published an exclusive interview with Telmomarques, currently the #1 on player on RuneScape and the first player to ever reach 120 dungeoneering! Many thanks to Telmomarques for letting us interview him!

12-Aug-2010 – A Void Dance Quest Guide
In fine fashion for our newest Honored Member, Call Me Larry, has written the quest guide for A Void Dance
Despite everyone’s best efforts, the pest that Jessika released onto the mainland is still at large. Perhaps a smaller tracking party will be able to hunt the pest without succumbing to the same fate that befell the last Void Knight landing party. Commodore Tyr believes you’re the person to lead the hunt, but you’ll not be alone in your endeavours. Two allies will accompany you, each bringing their own set of skills (and opinions) to balance your own.
Your hunting abilities will be tested, but that's not all it will take to get to the bottom of this. You’ll traverse jungles, fields and a beer-filled cellar, and turn your hand to chemical investigation in order to uncover the first of the enemies mentioned in the Into the Void blog.
Through careful application of your team’s skills and judicious use of your own moral judgement you will succeed in getting closer to the elusive truth of a terrible conspiracy. You’ll also be rewarded with training and Void Knight Commendation Points, which will be much needed for what is still to come...

09-Jul-2010 – Draynor City Guide
The Draynor City Guide is active and ready thanks to myself for making and adding it. Special Thanks to Vannio for her beautiful maps and pics, also a big thanks to Death, Angel and Kevin for editing bugs and checking spelling etc.
Draynor is a small village located west of Lumbridge and east of Port Sarim. It's busy town full of adventures running around either to try their hand at Fishing, chopping Willows, questing, or running away from the rabid vampire in the Manor.

07-Jul-2010 – Quiet Before the Swarm Quest Guide
For too long, the Void Knights have been diligently, yet quietly, fighting their battle against the pests in Pest Control. In this quest, you will travel to the Void Knights’ Outpost to inquire about the possibility of a pest slipping past their vigil and escaping onto the mainland. There, you’ll put your investigative and puzzle-solving skills to the test, wading through a torrent of small community squabbles to discover who could do such a thing.
The 'Quiet Before the Swarm' Quest Guide is now up here .
Thanks to silverelf 69, and Call Me Larry for making this guide

Ali the Wise has been talking to one of his 'old friends' - a certain Dr Nabanik - about your various dealings with the mysterious Mahjarrat. As a result, Dr Nabanik thinks you would be the perfect candidate to aid him in his restoration of the temple beneath the Digsite, but to what end?

30-May-2010 – Elemental Workshop III Quest Guide
The Elemental Workshop III Quest Guide has now been added to the site. A big thanks to Kevin for writing the guide!
A number of restored texts have been made available in the Seers' Village chapel, and one stands apart from the others. In a book embossed with a curious attern, the story of Vitruvius is continued, as he attempts to bring his assistant to life using the mysterious properties of the 'body'.
There are lessons to be learned from this new book, as you put Vitruvius's theories into practice again in the Elemental Workshop. Only those with the ability to unravel the most devious puzzles may, perhaps, be able to unlock the workshop's latest secret...

Global RuneScape has been given the opportunity to participate in a interview with Jagex's Mod Mark about the new Dungeoneering skill! The interview contains questions from several Gold fansites which have been compiled into one big interview. We've also included some new, unique Dungeoneering concept art in the interview!
Many thanks to Jagex for taking the time to answer the questions and for the concept artwork, and of course thanks to other fansites for their questions!

25-May-2010 – Regicide Quest Guide
Hello all! We've added a new quest guide for Regicide! This guide was originally being worked on by Aeolus, and was incomplete for a while before I finally finished the guide.
Continuing the Plague City series, the Regicide Quest takes you beyond the 'Well of Voyage' to a new realm.
King Lathas will employ you once again, this time for the grim task of deposing his brother.
Once you have travelled to the realm you will find yourself surrounded by new and strange plants, animals and even a new race.
Once there, you will see that everything is not as serene as it first appears.

16-May-2010 – A Fairy Tale Part III
Hello all! We've added a quest guide for the latest quest, A Fairy Tale Part III. Many thanks to Death for his work on this guide!
The Fairy Queen is back to full health and her resistance movement is gathering momentum, but the Godfather (and his ever-growing ork army) aren't going to give up the throne without a fight. Defeating all those orks is going to be like pulling teeth.

Thanks to Daedra Sword (and a helpful private message from Slim), we have added the Rune Mechanics Quest Guide!
Apprentice Clerval over at the Mage Training Arena is just a bit useless, which really isn't helping him to achieve his dream of being the first wizard in centuries to build a rune guardian from scratch. He might need some help to do some research, gather supplies, fix broken machinery, and, er, do everything else... (He really is useless.)

10-May-2010 – Dungeoneering "Lights Out" Puzzle Solver
Hello all! We've added a new tool to our Dungeoneering skill guide: A solver for the "Lights out" puzzle (the puzzle with a tiled floor where all tiles need to have the same colour).
We hope you will find this tool useful when exploring the Dungeons of Daemonheim.
Many thanks to Mangleman for this great tool!

29-Apr-2010 – Buyers and Cellars Quest Guide
The Buyers and Cellars Quest Guide has now been added as well as the three subquests that follow. A big thanks to 45674567h for his contribution.
While some find their fortunes in forsaken lands battling dangerous monsters, the opportunistic adventurer knows that there is wealth to be had all around: in guarded vaults, trapped safes and the fattened purses of the rich and careless.
With naught but a capacious cellar, an extensive vocabulary and a dash of derring-do, rakish confidence trickster Darren Lightfinger hopes to establish an official Lumbridge Thieves’ Guild where all proponents of his time-honoured profession may pursue their various business interests.
Darren has sent out feelers for assistance, promising rich rewards to the person who helps him bring his plan to fruition. It's never wise to trust a con-man, but this is too good an opportunity for a resourceful rogue to pass up.

28-Apr-2010 – Global-RS Now a Gold Fansite!
We're proud to announce that Global RuneScape is now listed as a Gold fansite by Jagex! This means that Jagex recognizes Global-RS as a safe fansite that offers an array of frequently updated guides and tools, and as a site with a strong and friendly community! As a result of this, you may be seeing occasional Jagex staff interviews and syndicated concept art on GRS and we will also have the ability to occasionally bring you some exclusive content from Jagex.
As always, we are striving to keep the site up to date with some of the most helpful RuneScape guides. We still need our members' help to keep us updated. If you wish to contribute to Global-RS, you may take a look at the list of needed quest guides, which is always updated as new quests are released. You can also submit updates to existing quest and skill guides, or submit new items or monsters to our databases. Every contribution helps, and we will always give credits to everyone who contributes!
We will also be looking for more content editors in the near future, so if you are interested in this position, this is the perfect time to show us that you're willing to help out with site content.

18-Apr-2010 – Update to Skill Guides page
We've made some changes to the skill guides page. First, we've added a new column to the experience table that shows the difference between each level. For example, you can now see how much XP you need to level from level 51 to 52.
Since the new dungeoneering skill has a max level of 120, we've also added the experience requirements for level 100 to 120. Please keep in mind that these are calculated based on the formula which is used for level 1-99, and if Jagex has used a different formula for levels past 100, then these numbers will not be correct.

Hello all! RuneScape has just released a new skill, dungeoneering! We have now updated our forum hiscores with this skill, and an update to the Hiscore history lookup tool will be released within the next few hours (the tool needs to be tested with someone who has been ranked).
Let us know if you experience any problems with our hiscore lookup features, as there may be unforeseen problems arising due to the new skill.
UPDATE: The Hiscore history tool will now show Dungeoneering as well.

The Thieving calculator includes all NPCs that you can pickpocket, as well as stalls, chests and sq'irk juice from Sorceress's garden.
Remember, if there's anything missing in these calculators, or anything that should be updated, please let us know!

10-Apr-2010 – Defender of Varrock Quest Guide
We've added a new quest guide for Defender of Varrock! Thanks to Slim50 for writing this great guide!
Troubling reports are arriving from scouts in the Wilderness: zombies are amassing and organising. Zombies alone are incapable of such intelligent behaviour, and each time it has happened in the past great tragedies have come to pass. Captain Rovin, suitably concerned, needs your help to go on a dangerous mission to verify the reports.
Are the Varrock Guard just being paranoid, or could this be a major threat to their city?

03-Apr-2010 – Site Updates
We've made several small changes to various areas of the website. First, we've added icons to our RSS feeds and Twitter account in the top right corner of the main page. There's also a new page explaining how you can subscribe to our RSS feeds.
There is now a filter function in our Quest Guides where you can filter guides by name and/or difficulty. Simply start writing in the name field and you'll see the guide list become shorter as you type.
We've also added a search feature to our Forum Hiscores! You can either search by RuneScape name or by forum name.
Lastly, we have now placed redirects from alternative domain names (such as global-rs.net), so that you will always come to global-rs.com if you try to visit using other domain names linked to Global-RS.

27-Mar-2010 – The Blood Pact Quest Guide
The latest quest guide, The Blood Pact, has now been added. A big thanks to Shane for getting it up so quickly.
Dire deeds are afoot in Lumbridge Graveyard. A tomb lies defiled and rumours of baleful cults and profane rituals are whispered throughout the town.

26-Mar-2010 – Updates to Forum Hiscores and Hiscore History
Hello all! We've made some changes to the Forum hiscores and Hiscore history. First, we've renamed "minigames" to "activities", as has been done in RuneScape. Secondly, we've added missing activities to both tools: Mobilising Armies and B.A Attackers, Defenders, Collectors and Healers. Note that we've actually been tracking these activities since they were released, so you will be able to see your progress in these activities in the Hiscore history.
Since these additions would've made the Hiscore history table too wide for the page, we decided to split it into two tables; one for skills and one for activities. You can switch between the two tables by clicking the appropriate links above the table.
These new activities also meant that the the forum hiscores menu listing all skills and activities became longer, so we've also increased the number of members displayed on one page from 30 to 40.
Lastly, the tables in both of these tools now have alternating row colours which will help distinguishing the rows from one another.
Enjoy!

20-Mar-2010 – 5th Anniversary of GRS - New Design And More!
Hello all! Today, March 20th, is the 5th anniversary of GRS! In 2006, 2007 and 2008 we used the opportunity to release some large updates, and this year we thought that a good way to show you that the site is still alive and active was to make a new, better design for the site!
In addition to the new design, we have decided to not show ads at all to users who are logged in. So if you want to hide the ads, simply log in and they'll all be gone!
We also have some other major updates in the pipeline which aren't ready for release yet, but stay tuned as there will be a lot of small and big changes coming in the next few days and weeks.
We would really like to get some feedback and suggestions, because there is certainly room for improvement. We have a lot of things we'd like to change, so consider this new design a 'beta', since it's not really finished. If you see any bugs, or if there's something you don't like about the new design, then let us know!

04-Mar-2010 – Changes to Hitpoints
As you may know, RuneScape recently removed the term "hitpoints" altogether and replaced it with "Constitution" and "life points", the latter being a new way to calculate damage dealt and received (10 times "old" hitpoints), and the former being the name of the actual skill. This has not actually change the combat system in RuneScape, since you're just dealing 10 times more damage to enemies which have 10 times more life points.
As a result of this change, we've now updated all the monsters in the monster database to reflect this change, as well as updating the content in several of our guides and items. If you still see the old term being used anywhere on the site (or the old number having been multiplied by 10), please let us know in the forums!

30-Sep-2009 – Barrows Guide Rewrite.
For nearly 10 months I have worked on and off this guide and now, finally it is done.
Without the help of these people I would never have managed to get this done. A special thanks goes to Tristipen for her faithful editing and also for the map picture. Also a special thanks to Adidoo, who is not a member of Grs, but she has assisted me greatly with this guide!
A thanks to Hitman and Predator for finding some errors in my guide.
Without the continuous help from this person my guide never would have gotten off the ground. A massive thank you to Death who I am happy to say I see a mentor and as a friend. I am in your debt for all you have done for me. Thank you!
The Barrows Guide.
Enjoy.

10-Sep-2009 – Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf Quest Guide
The Quest Guide for Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf has been added to the site.
Missing person reports have been flooding in from Keldagrim East, but the Black Guard seem reluctant to do anything about it. Resources are stretched thin, but Keldagrim West is undoubtedly a greater priority for the Black Guard Supreme Commander. Veldaban refuses to subscribe to this opinion, but his hands are tied; can you help him to reveal the abductors' identities?
Thank you, Aeolus, for writing the guide for this one.

11-Aug-2009 – Fur 'n' Seek Quest Guide
The Fur 'n' Seek quest guide has now been added to the site
The Odd Old Man is again in need of a hand, but this time it’s not all going to be about bones. Apparently, he has new needs that will require adventurers to seek the hides, pelts and skins of creatures commonly found in the Fremennik Province.
Players will be able to allow the Odd Old Man to take his plan fur-ther. More experienced players will then be able to help him the rest of the way, getting extra rewards and uncovering the truth behind one of RuneScape’s most guarded secrets – just what is in that mumbling bonesack?

04-Aug-2009 – Item Database Updates
We've made some changes to the layout of the item pages. Firstly, we've added the 30, 90 and 180 days price change to the Grand Exchange market price information. The page will also tell you how long ago the prices were updated. Some items may not have the price change yet, but remember that you can update the price data yourself by clicking the small update icon in the lower right corner of the market price box.
Secondly, the table containing stats for equippable items has been re-done to make room for Ranged strength bonus, which was previously missing from the database. Ranged strength has also been added to the item comparison feature.

29-Jul-2009 – Sorceress's Garden Guide Released
First day after being a Site Editor, Illicit Rage with help from Tristipen and Pineapple, completed and added a guide for the Sorceress's Garden Minigame.
Osman, spymaster of Al Kharid, finds skulking and skullduggery thirsty work. Over the years he has managed to quench it with sq'irk juice - a delicious drink made from the fruits of the Sorceress's Garden - but he and the Sorceress are no longer on speaking terms. The craving for sq'irk is near unbearable, so Osman takes a desperate course: asking you for help!
Finding ripe sq'irk for juicing will involve sweet-talking your way into Sorceress's Garden and stealthily creeping past the gardeners to get to the sq'irk trees.
The guide can be found here. Thank you for such a great guide Illicit Rage!

We've just published a new quest guide for Throne of Miscellania!
Rumours have been coming back from Miscellania that all is not well. It is said that the King has turned into a monster! An exceptional hero is required to investigate. Experience in ruling kingdoms, wooing royalty and negotiating peace would be an advantage. Apply within.

27-Jun-2009 – The Giant Dwarf Quest Guide
Greetings! We've just published a new quest guide for The Giant Dwarf, the first quest in the Rise of the Red Axe quest series.
Five hundred years have passed since the rule of King Alvis, saviour of Keldagrim and victim of his own inventions.
He founded the Consortium: the gathering of Mining companies that were to serve the monarchy. But, eventually, the monarchy came to serve the Consortium.
By the time of his death, the monarchy was all but abolished. Now the Kings in Keldagrim are but a distant memory... with only the statue of King Alvis to remind the people of the old days, the dark days.
So begins the Rise of the Red Axe, the new multi-part storyline centered around the dwarves and their capital of Keldagrim. The first quest, The Giant Dwarf, introduces the city and the powerful business Consortium that rules the dwarven realm. Discover weird goings-on, narrowly escape from falling chunks of rock, ride around in minecarts and... make sure you don't bump into the wrong person on the way to the city!
In other news, we're happy to announce that we now have nearly 1600 items in our item database, only a few days after we announced the 1500th item!

22-May-2009 – Missing My Mummy - Quest Added
The Missing My Mummy Quest Guide has been added. Thanks to Illicit_Rage for writing and pictures. As well as special thanks to Balatis and Mckenz1124 for corrections.
There are many secrets hidden in the depths of the desert. Forgotten tombs of forgotten rulers from a forgotten time, when the world was a very different place...or at least they were forgotten. The spread of human civilization, however, means that many of the hidden corners of the world are being uncovered, often by treasure-hunters with little regard for preserving the sanctity of these ancient places. Recently, one such tomb, near Uzer, was discovered by treasure-hunters. Leela of Al Kharid does care about the sanctity of this particular place, and she wants your help to recover information that is of great importance to her.

Shane has been actively contributing to the site by submitting missing database entries and images, and is one of the most active contributors to the site. He will be replacing Death, who retired from his position a few days ago. Be sure to give him a congrats if you see him in-game or in the forums!
18-Apr-2009 – New Pest Control Guide
The Pest Control Guide has been re-written and is now up-to-date by Hitman.
Pest Control is a minigame released by Jagex on 18 April 2006. It requires a minimum combat level of 40 to participate. It is a "safe" game, meaning if you die you do not lose any items. On 17 July 2007 it was updated to 3 different boats, each requiring a specific combat level to enter.

11-Apr-2009 – Monster database changes
Hello all! We've made some changes to the monster database. First, we've added the level to hits ratio for every monster in the database. The ratio is the monster's hitpoints level divided by its combat level. A higher ratio means that the monster has more hitpoints than other monster in the same level range.
We've also made some changes to the monster page layout. The list of possible drops now hides item types that aren't dropped by the monster, and the fields are hidden altogether for monsters that don't drop any items. We've also added fields for charms and seeds - monsters that drop these items will be updated in the near future. We will also be adding more monsters and update the existing ones, as some of the information in the database may be outdated. Remember, if you want to submit a monster to the database, you can do so in our Database Submissions forum.

Over the seas around Rellekka peace reigns, proud nations brought together by masterful diplomacy. People can be harder to please than nations, though, especially where sour recollections are rife.

See old friends in new ways as you delve into their past and help them settle their differences. To save the chieftain's birthday celebrations you'll have to find the secrets they don't remember and confront the monster they want to forget.

The Capes of Achievement Guide is finally up and I am more than proud to say this is my first and certainly not my last guide!
On the 18th of October 2006 Capes of Achievement were released onto Runescape. Those lucky, and some would say crazy people, who had devoted the time to train a skill to the incredible level 99 were able to retrieve these capes and show the rest of Runescape their achievement...

15-Jan-2009 – Item Database Organization
Hello,
The Item Database has been re-organized so the items are in the areas more specific to their skill and use. This should be more helpful to users looking for items related to certain skills.
In other news we would like all members to take a look at this thread and help us work out what is needed.

08-Jan-2009 – Smoking Kills Quest Guide
Smoking Kills Guide is now up and running. Thank you Aeolus for the wonderful submission.
Pollnivneach has a new inhabitant whose name is not Ali (or any variant of Ali, curiously enough). Who could this mysterious stranger be, and how did her sister end up trapped in a dungeon filled with Slayer monsters?
Do you dare to venture into the depths beneath Pollnivneach, where unknown dangers await amid smoke and screaming? The perils will be great, but, when rescuing a damsel in distress, the act should be reward enough...
Pineapple,

07-Jan-2009 – In Pyre Need Quest Guide
The latest quest, In Pyre Need, has been added. Thanks to Night_elf45 for submitting this guide.
An ancient avian of fiery disposition is in need of your help! Returning to its roost after a long time away from home, the phoenix encountered some trouble. Now it waits, weak and dying, isolated from the world. By chance, a priest with a suspicious amount of knowledge about the phoenix has appeared near its roost, and he is searching for an adventurer with the skills and the mettle to venture forth and aid the phoenix in its hour of need.

01-Jan-2009 – Site editors
Happy New Year! As promised in mid December, we've given more people site editor access. Two regular users have been promoted: Tim and Pineapple, who have distinguished themselves as helpful contributors in the past. Also, all our moderators have now been given site editor access: Lil McGinley, Anna Molly, Hitman and Mangleman. Due to unforeseen bugs in the item and monster databases, these members do not have the ability to edit those areas yet, but as soon as those areas are ready, they will have full access to edit and add site content. In the meantime, they can edit all other guides, where there's plenty of work to do.
Of course, this is only the beginning - many more updates are planned for 2009 and we will need more site editors in the near future! Site editors will be picked based on their contributions to the site and helpful, friendly members will have a higher chance of getting this position!

25-Dec-2008 – Myths of the White Lands Quest Guide
Hello everyone, just to let you know that this year's christmas quest, Myths of the White Lands, has been added.
Explorer Jack may have taken a break from exploring, but he hasn't given up his old habits quite yet. His constant search for myths that could potentially hold secrets to rare trinkets and other trophies has led him to a passing snow imp, who told him a tale of riches in the distant Land of Snow. Just the task for any wannabe explorer! He now wants you to go and investigate the imp's story to discover if it holds any truth...

14-Dec-2008 – New Quest Guides
Hello, hello. Just to inform you that the latest site editors haven't been slacking. The two latest quests, While Guthix Sleeps and Swept Away have been added. A big thank you to everyone who helped contribute to these.
07-Dec-2008 – My activity + future updates
Hello all. As you may have noticed, I've been very inactive lately, and as a result of this, there have been very few site updates. Due to personal issues I've been unable to work on Global RuneScape the last few months, and I won't be able to do much on the site until December 17th-18th. However, there are many important updates in the pipeline.
Unlike previous updates, these updates all have one primary goal: to involve many more people in the main site by giving members the ability to add and edit guides and database entries. This requires some very important changes to ensure the security of all visitors and avoid malicious edits. Some features related to this are:
Obviously, it is also very important that editors can edit the content easily, otherwise they won't be bothered to do anything. Unfortunately, the current system isn't very effective nor user friendly. To edit something, one must login to an administration panel (with a login separate from the forum login) and edit everything in an admin panel that doesn't even look like the rest of the site. It would obviously be much easier to just click an "edit" button when you view a guide or database entry, and then be able to edit it if you're already logged in to the site/forum.
These features are all in progress, and most of them are almost ready. Some need more testing, so I have given two regular members the ability to edit guides and the item database: Syntax Error and Death. Both have been very active for a while and have also had access to the administration control panel for a few months. Thes are now being moved to the "Site editors" group, which hopefully will grow in the future.
I'm planning to give all staff members and users who have been contributing to the site the same ability as these two members after the updates described in this post. And since people obviously are wondering when all this is going to happen, here's a deadline I've set for myself: January 1st 2009. There's still a lot to do, but we really need these updates if we want to expand the site and keep existing guides and databases updated. The sooner, the better.
Expect to see more updates in the future!

20-Oct-2008 – Herald: Interview With Hitman
The latest Herald: An interview with Hitman, our new moderator was written by zarzarx1 and will hopefully begin a renewed interest in the Herald. Please take a moment to read it over, maybe you can pose some questions of your own in this thread and Hitman will see fit to answer them while he is in the spotlight.
12-Sep-2008 – Legends' Quest Guide
Hello all! A new quest guide for one of the longest and hardest quests in RuneScape, Legends' Quest, has just been published! The pictures in this guide were originally made by Polaki several months ago, but thanks to Chokelius, we now have a complete and in-depth walkthrough for the quest. Again, thanks to both of them for making this great guide!
Accept the challenge of the Legends' Guild to map the southern part of Karamja Island, make friends with the natives and bring back a prize to display in the Legends Guild main hall.

04-Sep-2008 – Treasure Trails Coordinate Locator
Hello all! A Treasure Trails Coordinate Locator has just been added to Global RuneScape! This tool is designed to help you with your coordinate clue scrolls; by entering the coordinates on your clue scroll, you can get the exact location of where you will find the next clue scroll (or treasure). It can be accessed by using the link in the main menu under "Tools". Enjoy!
30-Aug-2008 – All Fired Up Quest Guide
Hello all! We've just added a quest guide to help you in the latest quest, All Fired Up.
Over the years, the kingdoms of Asgarnia and Misthalin have become increasingly uncomfortable about the possibility of threats from the Wilderness and Morytania. King Roald has taken matters into his own hands and has commissioned a network of beacons to be built across the land, from the Temple of Paterdomus at the border of Morytania, along the northern borders of Misthalin and Asgarnia and up along the western border of the Wilderness. The communication network is already in place, but King Roald could use a little help making sure everything is ready to go, in the event of emergency....

17-Aug-2008 – New Item Database
Hello all! Lately, we've been working on the backend of the Item Database, which was very slow and buggy. Things like the advanced search clearly didn't work in the old item database, and there were lots of small flaws and inconsistencies which made it very hard to work with. Therefore, we've decided to recode the item database. Thanks to [M]ike for his help during the development of the new database!
Several areas of the database have been improved:
Due to the new category system, some items may have been placed in the wrong categories. There may also be some bugs, so if there's anything wrong, please let us know!
In addition to these updates, we are currently working on a new feedback system for the item database. We are also looking into giving more people the ability to manage the item database and other parts of the site, so stay tuned for more updates in the future!
Several areas of the database have been improved:
- New category system
- A cleaner layout on the item database main page
- Tabbed search interface which makes it easier to switch between normal and advanced search and a better integration with the compare items feature
- Better search options for equippable items in the advanced; you can browse through items by item slot and with specific stats)
- Images on search results page
- Improved item lookup in the compare items feature. Results are returned faster than before
- Search box at the top of the whole item database, including the item pages
Due to the new category system, some items may have been placed in the wrong categories. There may also be some bugs, so if there's anything wrong, please let us know!

13-Aug-2008 – Mountain Daughter Quest Guide
We've just added a new Mountain Daughter quest guide. Many thanks to sk84ever159 for submitting this guide!
Years ago, a small tribe of people split off from the Fremennik in Rellekka and decided to inhabit the mountains to the east. There they lived as nomads for many years, but now the chieftain of the camp has lost his daughter and will not move on before she has been found.
Has she run away? Has she been eaten by trolls? Or is there something more sinister going on? Only you can find out.

05-Aug-2008 – Meeting History quest guide!
Hello all, today we've added a quest guide for RuneScape's latest quest, Meeting History!
Jorral has discovered more information about the weird yet wonderful enchanted key. Where this historical information will lead is a mystery, but one thing is certain: it'll be no ordinary search for clues from the past.

The latest Herald: Slayer by Example gives some insight into my experience getting 85 slayer and how Lil McGinley feels about his role as a mentor and an example. After you've read the article, feel free to post your thoughts and comments in this topic.
11-Jun-2008 – Shadow of the Storm
Another quest guide has just been added to Global RuneScape! This time, it's the Shadow of the Storm quest guide. Many thanks to Slim50 for this great guide!
A sinister group of dark wizards is attempting to summon Agrith-Naar, a demon of exceptional mystical power.
Rather than try to prevent them, a Saradominist priest asks the player to help summon the demon and then kill it once and for all. But all is not as it seems...

10-Jun-2008 – In Aid of the Myreque Quest Guide
Hello everyone. A new quest guide for In Aid of the Myreque has just been added. Many thanks to our new member Slim50 for this excellent guide!
After the attack on the Myreque by Vanstrom Klause - and with the deaths of both Sani and Harold - Veliaf is counting on you to help. Now that the Myreque freedom fighters' base camp has been revealed, they'll need to move on and set up base somewhere else.
Veliaf has heard of a little-known village south of Mort'ton, referred to as 'Burgh de Rott'. This could be just the place to set up operations to strike back against the evil of Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan and his vampyric overlordship in Morytania. And, who knows what other secrets about Morytania and its dark past will be revealed?

01-Jun-2008 – Herald: The Rhythm of Runescape
As announced by Anna Molly a few days ago, we are now re-launching the Global RuneScape Herald with a new article on the first day of every month. In the article for this month, The Rhythm of Runescape: How to skill in Runescape without really trying, Mangleman discusses how you can spend time to train repetitive and seemingly boring skills that will, in the end, reward you for your hard work. After you've read the article, feel free to post your thoughts and comments in this topic.
27-May-2008 – Re-launch of the GRS Herald!
As many of you have noticed, the herald has been inactive recently. Due to a lack of commitment, the herald editing team was unable to produce articles every weekend as they used to. Therefore, the Global-rs Herald is now going to be a monthly feature, with Mangleman publishing articles about runescape on the first day of every month. As soon as we are able to find more herald articles, we will begin to put out bi-weekly articles, and maybe even weekly articles once more!
If you are interesting in possibly being a herald editor, or you would like to submit a guest article, please send Mangleman a private message. Thats all for now, thanks for your time!
Stay tuned for an all new herald article June 1st!

21-May-2008 – Fist of Guthix Guide
Hi everyone. We've added a new minigame guide for Fist of Guthix - many thanks to x_ashe for this great guide!
There are strange secrets buried in the cold and ancient parts of the world, and every now and then one of them is drawn back into the light. The druids of Guthix, searching for something or other in caves beneath the Wilderness, have found a truly ancient artefact and its truly bizarre guardian.
Fist of Guthix is a combat-based minigame that pits you against a single opponent in a battle of cunning, speed and sheer determination. The rewards are great for those who can both hunt their enemy and evade that same enemy in turn...

15-May-2008 – TokTz-Ket-Dill quest guide
The quest guide for the latest quest, TokTz-Ket-Dill, is now available. Thanks to Syntax Error and Death for this great guide! As usual, feedback is always welcome.
One of the various creatures inhabiting the Karamja volcano has dug a series of tunnels underneath the TzHaar city. Some of them have already collapsed and the TzHaar fear that their home will end up in ruin. They may be a proud race, but they need your help. Are you up for the task of maneuvering your way through TzHaar society — and all the quirks that come with it — and stabilising the tunnels in order to save the city?

Hello everyone! A new quest guide for Icthlarin's Little Helper has just been added. Many thanks to Anna Molly for this great guide!
In the deep south of the desert, unrest is brewing. The Menaphites have barred their city's gates from all. An unsettling desert wanderer may know of a secret entrance to Sophanem - the city of the dead. Will you become Icthlarin's Little Helper by entering? Enter into a titanic struggle for the soul of the High Priest of Icthlarin in a land where the cat is top dog.

08-May-2008 – Perils of Ice Mountain Quest Guide
Hello all! We've just added a guide for the latest quest in RuneScape, Perils of Ice Mountain. Many thanks to Syntax Error for this great guide!
The dwarves of the Dwarven Mine have built the latest marvel of dwarven engineering: a machine to automatically make pickaxes for the many miners. In order to supply energy for this machine, they have commissioned a new power station on the slopes of Ice Mountain.
Projects of this scale are never without their problems, though. A hapless dwarf delivering resources to the power station has lost part of his delivery and any adventurer who helps him is bound to find more problems to solve.
Other news
When I wrote the Herald article "A Developer's View" a few weeks ago, I said that one of the things that made me work on a new code was the need for a better way to administrate the site. I've been working on this lately, and most of the core code of it has been done. Therefore, I've decided that it's time to start giving some users access to it - so they'll be able to edit the site. Syntax Error, who wrote the quest guide announced in this post, is the first user to get access to the control panel. He can only add and edit quest guides at the moment, but as bugs are fixed in other sections, he will get access to more areas of the administration panel, thus being the first one to become a site editor since [M]ike was promoted one year ago.
Obviously, as development continues, more people will eventually get access to it, which hopefully should make updates happen at a faster rate than before. To start with I will pick a few forum members based on their past contributions to the site, but as the system gets developed there might be other ways to show your interest, such as application forms or polls in a forum section for site editors. We will post more about this in the future, so be sure to stay tuned! Also, keep in mind that only forum members will have the ability to become site editors, and members with many good submissions will obviously have higher chances of becoming site editors.
That's all for now, enjoy!

03-May-2008 – Grand Exchange synchronization
Hello all! When the Grand Exchange price database was released a few weeks ago, it also gave us the possibility to automatically update any item's Grand Exchange values from the RuneScape website. So we decided to make a feature that did exactly that, so all the prices in the item database are now retrieved from the Grand Exchange. The prices will automatically be updated once a day, but it is also possible to update the market values manually by clicking the small update icon (
) next to the item's values when you are viewing an item. We may add a chart that shows the items' price history, but we currently don't have enough data to do so at the moment.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome. If there is an item that seems to be retrieving the wrong information (which means that it looks up the wrong item in the Grand Exchange), please let us know so we can fix it. That's all for now, enjoy!

Hello all! We've released the Legacy of Seergaze quest guide! Many thanks to Death for this great guide! Feel free to post your feedback and comments on this guide.
Mercenaries make their way into the rotten swamps of Morytania from Paterdomus to the front-lines at Burgh de Rott. The Vyrewatch continue to draw blood tithes from the pitiful citizens of Meiyerditch, the great ghetto-city of the Sanguinesti region, its weakened citizens growing fewer in number every day. The vampyres are getting more tithes from somewhere, but how long before House Drakan settles its eye upon Misthalin and the lands to the west?

13-Apr-2008 – Herald: The Runescape Age Limit
Hello all! It's time for a new article in the Global RuneScape Herald. Two weeks ago, Mangleman wrote about how adults enjoy RuneScape, but in this week's article, Feed24 writes about why RuneScape appeals to younger players and why pre-teen children often ignore RuneScape's age limit. After you've read the article, we invite you to post your thoughts and comments in this topic.
On a side note, this article is actually the 50th article published in the Herald! Thanks to everybody who has contributed in the past, and remember that we accept Herald submissions from any registered member of the forums!

06-Apr-2008 – Herald: Why RuneScape?
Hello all! It's Sunday and as usual, we bring you the weekly Global RuneScape Herald article. This week's article, written by Renegade, is about why RuneScape has become so popular, despite its bad reputation in other gaming communites. After you've read the article, feel free to post your thoughts and comments in this topic. Enjoy!
31-Mar-2008 – Herald: The Aging Video Game Culture
Hello all! We know we're a bit late with this week's Herald article. The latest article is entitled The Aging Video Game Culture and is an article about adults playing video games - from the view of a 27 year old player. Enjoy!
24-Mar-2008 – Updates, updates, updates...
Hello all! A few days ago, on March 20th, Global RuneScape saw its third anniversary. In 2006 and 2007 we made some major updates to the site for its birthday, but this year's update was so big that we had to delay it a few days.
Firstly, we've moved the site to a new server. Our old host told us that the site's resource usage was too high, and due to the constant growth of the site, we decided that it was time for us to move on from a shared server to a private server. Some of you might have been experiencing long load times recently, especially in the forums. These issues should be fixed.
There has been a major update in the site backend; the whole system Global RuneScape runs on has been completely rewritten from scratch. This gives us much more flexibility, and you may notice that the whole site is integrated with the forums. When you are logged on in the forums, it will show your status and number of private messages in the header. That means no more login boxes when you're already logged in! If there's something else you would like to see in the header, feel free to let us know! A screenshot posted a few weeks ago showed a "settings" button in the new header. We didn't have time to add the functionality we had planned there, so it will be added later.
With this update, we will also look for more site editors! We have a new control panel for the site editors which will give them the ability to change all guides, database entries, images and calculators. We will make a separate announcement for this in the future, so be sure to check the site news here regularly!
New tools
As mentioned in the Herald article I posted a few weeks ago, there is a new set of calculators, including a new combat calculator!
We also have added forum hiscores. All members of the Global RuneScape forums with more than 10 posts will be listed here. You also need to set a valid RuneScape name in your profile, which can be done in your User Control Panel.
Speaking of hiscores, we have another new tool, the hiscore history! Every time you enter your name in one of the (new!) calculators or use the hiscore lookup feature somewhere on the site, the stats will be saved in the database. You can then view your progress in the hiscore history tool. The forum hiscores will be updated once a day, so one entry will be added every day in the hiscore history for all users listed in the forum hiscores.
We've also added the the ability to search the site using the search box in the header. We also have new RSS news feeds that can be viewed by clicking the RSS icon (an orange icon with rounded corners) in your web browser (not supported by older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 1.5).
We would really like to get some feedback and suggestions, because there is certainly room for improvement. We have a lot of things we'd like to change, so you could call this new backend a beta, since it's not really finished. If you see any bugs, or something you really don't like, then let us know!
That's all for now. Enjoy!
Firstly, we've moved the site to a new server. Our old host told us that the site's resource usage was too high, and due to the constant growth of the site, we decided that it was time for us to move on from a shared server to a private server. Some of you might have been experiencing long load times recently, especially in the forums. These issues should be fixed.
There has been a major update in the site backend; the whole system Global RuneScape runs on has been completely rewritten from scratch. This gives us much more flexibility, and you may notice that the whole site is integrated with the forums. When you are logged on in the forums, it will show your status and number of private messages in the header. That means no more login boxes when you're already logged in! If there's something else you would like to see in the header, feel free to let us know! A screenshot posted a few weeks ago showed a "settings" button in the new header. We didn't have time to add the functionality we had planned there, so it will be added later.
With this update, we will also look for more site editors! We have a new control panel for the site editors which will give them the ability to change all guides, database entries, images and calculators. We will make a separate announcement for this in the future, so be sure to check the site news here regularly!
New tools
As mentioned in the Herald article I posted a few weeks ago, there is a new set of calculators, including a new combat calculator!
We also have added forum hiscores. All members of the Global RuneScape forums with more than 10 posts will be listed here. You also need to set a valid RuneScape name in your profile, which can be done in your User Control Panel.
Speaking of hiscores, we have another new tool, the hiscore history! Every time you enter your name in one of the (new!) calculators or use the hiscore lookup feature somewhere on the site, the stats will be saved in the database. You can then view your progress in the hiscore history tool. The forum hiscores will be updated once a day, so one entry will be added every day in the hiscore history for all users listed in the forum hiscores.
We've also added the the ability to search the site using the search box in the header. We also have new RSS news feeds that can be viewed by clicking the RSS icon (an orange icon with rounded corners) in your web browser (not supported by older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox 1.5).

Hello all! A quest guide for the latest quest in RuneScape, Kennith's Concerns, has just been added! Many thanks to Syntax Error and Death for this great guide!
As ever, there are strange occurrences afoot in the sea slug-riddled town of Witchaven.

Beware: not everything is quite what it seems.

23-Feb-2008 – Catapult Construction quest guide!
Hello all,
Today we've added a guide for RuneScape's latest quest, Catapult Construction. Many thanks to Jacksai for this great guide!
Things are not going well for the Catapult Guard at the Tyras Camp. Already unpopular with his comrades after his security lapses, he's now neglected the catapult and allowed the damp of the forests of Isafdar to seep in and rot the frame. General Hining is furious, the replacement catapult parts haven't arrived and the rookie catapult engineer has gone missing.
It's a good thing, then, that a bold adventurer with your knowledge of Construction is in the area. Of course, this will take more effort than forming furniture - catapults are complicated pieces of equipment - ensuring that this mission will mean your exertions will be mental as much as physical.

You might have noticed a significant downtime this week. Earlier this week, all pages on global-rs.com (the forums are located at global-rs.net) were down. This was caused by an error by our web host and was beyond our control, and we had to contact our host and wait for them to restore the site. Today, the forums (global-rs.net) were down for about six hours. A part of the forum database had crashed and we were unable to repair it. These two downtimes were unrelated, but combined, the site has been down for nearly 18 hours this week. We apologize for any issues this may have caused for our visitors.

17-Nov-2007 – Item and Monster Database Updates
Hello all! We've made some small, yet useful updates to the monster and item database. In the monster database, there is now a link to each item dropped by a specific monster, so you will now be able to easily find out more about a specific item when you browse the monsters.
We've also added some features to the item database. Firstly, we've made a small change to the way the item search works. If you search for an item and there is only 1 result, you will automatically be taken to item's page. So if you enter "abyssal whip" (or "abby whip") in the search bar, you will see the details about the items instead of the search results, which would obviously only have one item listed.
The monster database update also made it possible for us to list all monsters dropping a specific item. You will now see a list with all the monsters that drop a specific item on the item pages (look at this entry for an example).
That's all for now. Enjoy!

If you investigate further you'll find out more about Glouphrie, the history of the gnomes (and their unusual monarchy) and maybe you'll get within a hair's breadth of the lost city of Arposandra...

To read more about the Warriors' Guild, check out the new guide!
14-Aug-2007 – Hunter Skill Guide
Hello all; we've (finally) added a new Hunter skill guide! Many thanks to [M]ike and Chokelius for making this great guide!
Deep in some of the coldest and deepest areas of RuneScape lie strange monsters. These monsters are known to drop various furs, hides or tools that are valued by many players. There are many ways to trap these pesky creatures, varying from magical imp boxes to using a rented falcon to catch agile little kebbits.
In other news, our prayer guide has been updated to include the two new prayers, Chivalry and Piety, which can be unlocked after completing the Knights Wave training ground minigame after doing the King's Ransom.

Hello all, today we've added a new quest guide for RuneScape's latest quest, King's Ransom
Life has been quiet at the Sinclair Mansion since you discovered the murderer... too quiet. So quiet, in fact, that the family has gone!
Suspicions are running high that the Sinclairs' recent departure is tied to the disappearance of King Arthur and his knights. But time is running short and clues are scarce, will you crack the case in time?

27-Jul-2007 – Recent downtime
Most of our users have probably experienced a major downtime the last few days on our forums, topsites, calculators and a few other sections of the site. We've been in touch with our web host, and it was most likely caused by a bug on the server we're using. We really apologize for this, but there was not much we could do and we had to wait until our web host fixed the problem. All sections except the topsites are up again. The topsites will be down for a few days to optimize the script and to fix some problems we've had with the system.
16-Jul-2007 – Quest Experience Guide
Hello all, today we have added a Quest Experience Guide. This guide will show you which quests you need to complete to gain experience in various skills.
Many thanks to Feed24 and sk84ever159 for contributions to this guide.
RuneScape holds many quests, each varying in difficulty, enjoyability and brutality, Some people will complete quests for the reward, or maybe to obtain that fancy quest point cape, but others favor the wonderful experience point rewards from quests, to help you see which quests will help you on your way with your desired skill we have a quest experience page.

15-Jul-2007 – RuneScape Downtime
Hello all, we are aware that RuneScape is currently offline, but we are NOT Jagex and have no control over this matter. So please do not message us asking questions.
Andrew Gower has said;
Our core hosting facility has lost it's internet connection. We are (urgently!) talking to the ISP now.
When this sort of thing happens it's normally because a router somewhere has died, so hopefully it won't take them too long to fix, but since it's a fault with a 3rd party system, now we've let them know all we can do is wait (and keep nagging them every 10 mins, heheh)
Please be patient, and we're sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks Andrew!
(Taken from his post on another large fansite, as he is unable to access his news management system on the RuneScape website)
Update
RuneScape is now back online, and working correctly.

07-Jul-2007 – Reporting Errors
It has come to my attention that some people have been reporting things in a very disorganised manner, this includes forum and item database reports. This makes our job very hard! If you wish to report an error in the item database, please do it correctly, entering all valid fields. The report submissions in the Item Database are not for you to contact us, if you wish to contact any of the staff then either use the forums or see the Global-RuneScape Team page. Concering forum reports, please make sure you report clearly, stating which rules have been broken. For more information see our Reporting Posts guide.
So next time you report, please take time to make sure your report is valid and that we'll be able to understand it and take action on it.

07-Jul-2007 – Is Jagex being unfair to F2P players?
Hello all! It's time for another article in our Herald (finally!). An author who wishes to be anonymous has written an article about one of the never-ending discussions players talk about in every RuneScape-related forum: Is Jagex being unfair to F2P players?. After you've read the article, we invite you to share your opinion in this thread.
23-Jun-2007 – Grim Tales Quest Guide
Hello all, today we've added a guide for RuneScape's latest quest, Grim Tales.
"Once upon a time in a land far, far away..." Sylas, a collector of items both wondrous and unusual seeks out the latest additions to his trove with a somewhat unusual prize for the finder.
Terrors and towers await; fierce battles with giant beasts; striding boldly to rescue a dwarf in distress! Not a quest for the meek or faint-hearted, prepare yourself for a feast of fairytale fun with rewards a-plenty! The Brothers Grimm could never have foretold a tale such as this...

14-Jun-2007 – A Bundle of Updates!
Firstly today we've added a new mini-quest guide, the Mage Arena many thanks to Syntax Error for this great guide!

30-May-2007 – New Herald: Varrock (Museum)
Hello all! It's time for a new article in our Herald - and this week, the article is about the month's "big" update, which came after two weeks with no RuneScape updates, the new and shiny Varrock (and its new museum).
After you've read the article, feel free to post a comment on it in this topic, and as stated at the end of the article, everyone is welcome to write an article for the Herald! If there is something you would like to write about, feel free to let me know; your article might be published in the Herald next week!

24-May-2007 – New Herald: RuneScape 3
My apologies that this week's Herald is one day delayed, this is due to communicational errors beyond my control (Aliensvortex was gone when I had the article ready). This week, I dived into my brains (not literally) to find some theories about what Jagex will probably do with RuneScape 3. Good new for everyone who disliked my last article, this is not a "expressionistic literary experiment", just a pretty straight article, except that it is all theoretical as nobody even knows if there will be a RuneScape 3. Now read it!
17-May-2007 – Dream Mentor Quest Guide
Hello all! A quest guide for the newest quest in RuneScape, Dream Mentor, has just been added! Many thanks to Syntax Error for submitting guides for both quests in the Lunar series!
RuneScape is not the safest place to live - dragons, trolls, demons... dangerous and despicable monsters of all sorts roam free. In this quest, you must help a fellow adventurer that doesn't do so well against these threats. With perseverence and the magical help of the Moon Clan, there should be no monster that can't be beaten.
But is that really true? How about the monsters in your dreams? How about your own inescapable fears? How would you defeat them? Well, you'll soon find out as a tough and often bizarre quest awaits those of a strong will!

16-May-2007 – Herald Article - Lobsters
This week the Herald is back. And I am sure you will love it! I know it just looks like my computer has crashed and all paragraphs are mixed up - trust me, my computer works perfect. I could say this is a bad article, but that sounds so bad, so let me call it a "expressionistic literary experiment", about RuneScape. Enjoy reading it!

15-May-2007 – Olaf's Quest Guide
Today a guide for Olaf's Quest has been added to the site. Thanks goes to Syntax Error for writing this guide.
Poor Olaf Hradson. He has to live up to such expectations. His ancestors sailed all over the world, and now he has to go out and prove himself their equal. If only he could read a map... If only he could sail... If only he hadn't crashed! Can you help a depressed and soggy Fremennik regain his pride, and possibly the lost treasure of his grandfather?

Today we have added a quest guide for The Golem. Many thanks to Thegreateddy for writing this guide.
Deep in the desert sand, the ruins of the once great city of Uzer, a lone survivor - an ancient clay golem - forever paces back and forth. It is badly damaged, and its mind cannot rest until it has completed the task for which it was created.
It is up to you to uncover the secret of the lost city, and add the final chapter to a story begat amidst the violence of the Third Age.

01-May-2007 – Real-world trading website ads
After RuneScape's announcement about real-world trading, several people have messaged us asking whether Global RuneScape is one of those so-called "corrupt" fansites or not, because they had seen advertisements to some of these sites.
We would like to make it clear that we do not manage which ads are shown, because we are using a third party advertising network to display the ads. However, that doesn't mean that we ignore the problem. We have the ability to filter our ads, and we are certainly doing so. Currently, we have banned more than 100 real-world trading sites from the ad network, but there are still a few new sites that are coming regularly.
Other fansites have stated that they can't remove the ads because of technical restrictions or because they need them to keep the site running. This is certainly not the case. Although we would earn more money by showing them, we earn enough money to keep the site without them. Global RuneScape is not a commercial web site with the aim to earn as much as possible, and therefore, we see absolutely no need to keep these ads.
If you see advertisements for money shops, please contact us or send me a PM with the ad's address. If you have more questions, feel free to reply to this topic.

30-Apr-2007 – Enakhra's Lament - 100 quest guides!
Hello everyone. We are still striving to add all the quest guides, but we've finally reached a new milestone with our 100th quest guide, the Enakhra's Lament quest guide!
Lazim the sculptor has a sad tale to tell - his days of making art are over, and now all he can do is carp at adventurers as they make a statue for him in the desert. Although, isn't just south of the Bandit Camp an odd place to be putting up a statue?
Help Lazim out with his artistic endeavours, and learn more as this quest goes deeper into the history of RuneScape than you might expect.

25-Apr-2007 – Another Slice of H.A.M. Quest Guide
Hey everyone. Today we uploaded a quest guide for Another Slice of H.A.M.. Many thanks to Andyy for this guide.
The dwarves are building a new underground rail link between their city of Keldagrim and the cave goblins' Dorgesh-Kaan, but work is being held up by the discovery of ancient goblin artefacts, and they need the help of a qualified archaeologist. Helping them out should be simple enough - unless you stumble upon another H.A.M. plot against the city.
If there are any mistakes/errors in this guide please feel free to report them in this forum.

22-Apr-2007 – Cold War Quest Guide
Hi everyone. We've just added a new quest guide for the Cold War quest! Many thanks to Chokelius, known as EyeS in our forums, for this great quest guide!
At the Ardougne Zoo, one of the zookeepers has become a bit preoccupied by penguins. In fact, he's downright paranoid about them. He needs your help to observe their habits on the iceberg in the Lunar Sea. What begins as a peaceful bird-watching expedition opens a new world of espionage and bad musicians.

17-Apr-2007 – Horror From the Deep
Hello all! We know that there haven't been many updates lately. We've worked a lot on the item database, and unfortunately we have received very few submissions. But we've just added a new Horror From the Deep quest guide, and we really hope that other people will help us by submitting more guides.
Our quest guides section is still not completed, so there are still a bunch of old quests that don't have a quest guide yet. A complete list of needed quest guides can be found here, so feel free to write a guide if you're going to do one of those quests. Writing a quest guide might seem hard to do, but writing a simple walkthrough with a few images and list of requirements is very easy, and in order to have a fair amount of updates in the future, we need our users' help to improve the site!

01-Apr-2007 – RuneScape 3 Trailer!!
The trailer was an Aprils Fools' joke, and Jagex has never cooperated with any fansite, unfortunately. The trailer was a picture of a trailer with the RuneScape logo on it. You can still follow the links below to see it.
Hello everyone! Jagex has recently decided to start cooperating with some fan sites to bring the fan sites more unique content, thus also improving the community of RuneScape. They see this as a good way to promote the game, like other games such as World of Warcraft and Guild Wars have done.
Global RuneScape is one of the fan sites that they are going to share information and content with, and today, they just gave us access to the unique RuneScape 3 Trailer! Although the game's sounds and music is not done, we can already see that the game will have some amazing graphics! So why wait, check out the new RuneScape 3 Trailer!!

30-Mar-2007 – What Lies Below
Hi everyone, we know that the number of new quest guides lately has been way too low. This is not something we want to continue, so we've just added a quest guide for the newest quest in RuneScape, What Lies Below! All items related to the quest have also been added to the item database.
A travelling trader has been stranded south of Varrock after his cart was attacked by local outlaws. He needs the help of a hero to recover his lost documents, but that's not all...
The Varrock Palace Secret Guard (VPSG) are on the trail of treacherous dealings with the Monks of Zamorak. Will you be able to help the VPSG and uncover what lies below?

25-Mar-2007 – Item database updates
As we announced on Tuesday, some of the database's features were not finished and could not be published. Today, a new feature to compare items has just been added! With this tool, you can compare two items' stats. Obviously, it is pointless to compare the stats of items you can't equip, so only equippable items can be compared. A link to this feature has been added in the item database index, and there is also a link in the item details for all equippable items.
In other news, our item database has now more than 700 items; which means that more than 60 items have been added since the database's release. We would like to remind you that everyone can submit item information in the forums, and if the item already exists, there is a link below the item details to submit an update for that item.

20-Mar-2007 – Global RuneScape 2 Years + Item Database!
Hello everyone! Today, it's exactly 2 years since the creation of Global RuneScape! As many of you may know, Global RuneScape was originally started as a small HTML-based site running on an InvisionFree forum. For months, the site was growing very slowly, getting about 40-50 daily visitors.
Today, two years after its creation, the site is running on a powerful system to manage the guides, and we've added many advanced feature, such as the Advanced Calculators that were added March 20th last year.
Of course, we don't want to just post a silly announcement without adding anything. Therefore, we've decided to publish the Item Database, which we have been working on since October last year! It contains detailed information about the items in RuneScape, a powerful search feature and a lot of other useful information!
Obviously, the database is not completed yet, and we really need your help to expand it. If there is a missing item that you have information about, feel free to submit it! Lastly, all the planned features have not been implemented because our deadline came too quickly – more exciting stuff will soon be added to the database, so stay tuned!

14-Mar-2007 – New Herald Article
Hello all! A new article has been added to the Global RuneScape Herald. The RuneScape rules are, as most active players know, very controversial. Therefore, our Herald editor has written an article about this issue: Is Jagex too strict? After you've read the article, feel free to post a comment on the article, or share your own thoughts and ideas.
07-Mar-2007 – Herald article - German Beta Report
Hello all! As a "hidden" update which has not been announced on the main page of RuneScape, the German version of RuneScape is now open to everyone after three weeks in the Closed Beta stage. Therefore, our editor has written a short article about the German version of RuneScape. After you've read it, feel free to comment the article and discuss the German version of RuneScape in this topic.
We would also like to remind you that everyone can write their own article for the Herald, as mentioned in this announcement.

03-Mar-2007 – TOGRC Has Folded
On behalf of the official Global Runescape clan, I am sad to annouce the Official Global RuneScape clan has folded. The clan is no longer affiliated with Global RuneScape in any way and is now named Wrath of Elegance. We are now no longer the official clan of Global Runescape. This was suggested by many people. Now it happened... Sorry Global Runescape, I am not leaving, but the clan is no longer affiliated with Global RuneScape.
However we hope that members of the clan will still stay around here at Global RuneScape and its forums.
For those whom cant find us, our new link is http://woeclan.com/forum/index.php?

26-Feb-2007 – Chat Updates
Hello all, today we've put quite a 'useful' update, the Chat Applet has been updated. Therefore now, to use the chat room you will be required to login (Using your Forum account). This has been put in place for two reasons, the first that we've recently had a lot of people joining the chat room and either spamming our channel or other channels on the network, this has angered many of the network's operators, therefore we had to change something before we we're removed from the network. Secondly, being logged in to use the chat room means upon connection to the network you will automatically be known as your forum username, making it easier for other Global-RuneScape admins and members to recognise you. This should solve any existing problems with the chat.
Also on another note, we apologize for what seems as lack of updates to the site. This is because we are doing a lot of 'Back End' work, including control panels for content management with the website and general updates to older parts of the site.
Lastly, to keep the website up-to-date we really need your help! If you can, please submit any missing data, for more information please see our Submissions/Updates forum.

20-Feb-2007 – Tower of Life quest guide
A quest guide for the newest quest in RuneScape, Tower of Life, has just been added! Many thanks to Gamer H for this guide!
The construction of a mysterious tower is almost complete, but the builders working on it have gone on strike. Losing patience, the alchemists that hired them are looking for anybody to help them. When the world of magic and the world of logic combine you can expect dangerous results, but a true adventurer would cherish such things... wouldn't they?

14-Feb-2007 – New Herald Article
Hello all! We've just added a new article to the Herald. Its name would probably explain what it is about: Sq'irks, and changes. The article is evidently about the latest RuneScape update, A sq'irk a day... We hope you will enjoy this article!
In other news, users trying to access our Shades of Mort'ton quest guide have recently only seen a "404: Quest guide not found" error. A backup had to be used to restore the site after the recent site downtime, and the last backup was taken before we added this guide. The guide has now been re-added. No other guides were affected.

14-Feb-2007 – Sorry for downtime!
We here at Global Runescape aplogize for the recent downtime of up to 2 days. The reason is mainly unknown, but we are leading to believe it was an error on the part of the Lunarpages webhosting company whom host Global Runescape. We aplogize, and will try and ensure this will not happen again...
This was server error that we had no control over, and we really apologize. We hope this will not happen again, but because this was beyond our control, there is nothing we can do.
Everything should be up, but if you experience problems, please let us know as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Global Runescape Staff

26-Jan-2007 – New Clan Server!
Some people may have realized the major downtime on Global Runescape today. Aliensvortex found out it was the clan, so he told me to switch the server of the clan. The clan has been transferred to a new server. The domain will still be grsclan.com, but the forums are now located at http://grsclan.com/forum/
Edit: grsclan.com will automatically forward to the forums.

25-Jan-2007 – Recruitment Drive Quest Guide!
Today, we've added a guide for Recruitment Drive! Many thanks to Chokelius for this great guide!
The Temple Knights of Saradomin, a secret organisation founded many centuries ago by Saradomin himself, are currently looking to expand their ranks with some new blood.
After the successful thwarting of the Black Knights' plans to take over Asgarnia, and with the personal recommendation of Sir Amik, you have now been offered the chance to apply for membership in this organisation... but are you up to the challenge?

14-Jan-2007 – Two New Quest Guides!
Today we have uploaded two new quest guides to the site!
Thanks to Chokelius for submitting a quest guide for Making History.
A secluded outpost has served the City of Ardougne for generations, playing stage to many exceptional events. It's current occupant wants to employ your skills to construct it's true history before time runs out and history itself is wiped away!
Thanks to Dave for writing a guide for Eagle's Peak.
The Ardougne Zoo is always looking for new specimens, but one of their anticipated new attractions - a ferret from the north - has been proving elusive.
One of the Zoo's more eccentric freelance specimen hunters is reported to be on the case, but after setting out for the far western reaches, somewhere between the Piscatoris Fishing Colony and the Tree Gnome Stronghold, nothing more has been heard from him.
Will you be able to use your skills as a Hunter to track him down? What else will you discover at the mountain known as Eagles' Peak?

09-Jan-2007 – New Herald Article
We're too late once again, and I really apologize. We'll try to continue publishing the articles on Sunday again, but many of our staff members, including me and Gamer H have been quite busy lately and unable to make an article within the deadline. Anyway, we've published a new article in the Global RuneScape Herald today! We hope you'll enjoy our latest article, which is about a clan/group chat system in RuneScape, and how this may eventually affect the game.
02-Jan-2007 – New article in the Herald
There was no article on the Christmas' Eve, and we did not publish another Herald issue on Sunday. Well, the Herald is not dead, and today we've added the article that should have been added two days ago. Sorry about the delay. I hope you'll enjoy the first article of 2007 anyway! We would also love to wish you all a happy new year, and we hope there will be just as many good updates in RuneScape this year!
23-Dec-2006 – Animal Magnetism
Today, we have written a guide for Animal Magnetism.
Draynor Manor has a new resident and, adventurers rejoice, she is a damsel in distress. Far from being Sleeping Beauty, she finds the Manor's beds not to her liking and is suffering from insomniac nights. If you fancy yourself able to aid Ava in her search for a good night's sleep, who knows what the budding scientist will produce as a reward?

17-Dec-2006 – New Herald Article - The History of TOGRC
Hello again! We've been very busy this week, and we've been unable to add any new guides or update the site lately. There have been many important errors that we've had to fix, causing a significant downtime in the beginning of this week. As you may know, the clan has been restarted and we've spent lots of time on it in addition to the main site. Speaking of the clan, that's exactly what this week's Herald article is about! This is the longest article in the Herald so far, and includes a brief history of the clan, how it was founded and an interview with one of the clan's leaders, Brian1775. There's probably a lot in this article that many of our clan members didn't know about, and we hope it will be an interesting read for all our users too! Please check this topic if you wish to comment this article!
In other news, we've added a new Barbarian Outpost guide to the Other Areas section of our atlas. Many thanks to Sk84ever159 for this guide!

13-Dec-2006 – Recent Site Downtime
We are very sorry on the recent downtime of Global Runescape. There are a few problems that Aliensvortex will try to fix as soon as possible. Please do not think we are closing as that is far from the truth. Also for those of you who are wondering, yes this is the same thing with the clan. We are sorry for this, and will try to fix it as soon as possible.
10-Dec-2006 – New Herald Article
Hello everyone! It is December and soon Christmas time, and many RuneScape players will obviously wonder what this year's Christmas event will be! Each time the holiday events are released, countless of players are discussing the same controversial topic: Should rares be kept tradeable? Some players share Jagex' opinions; tradable discountinued items spoil the game's fun. Other players would rather say that these rare items add more variation to the marketplace. After you've read the article, we invite you to discuss the article and post your own opinions.
10-Dec-2006 – TOGRC is Back
After a few days of hard work, the clan is back up again. There are many new changes to the clan. It has been completely restarted, so everyone will need to re-register.

06-Dec-2006 – Clan Downtime
For those of you who don't know, Invision Power Board released their new forum software, IPS Community, today. The clan forums were being upgraded by the Invision Board staff, when some technical difficulties were met.
We are not exactly sure what the problems are, or how to fix them. We will be trying our hardest to get the clan forums back up, but be prepared for a wait.
Please stand by while these problems are being worked on. Hopefully the clan will be back soon, but we can't promise anything. Brian is contacting the IPB staff as I am posting this announcement.
For the time being, clan members, just continue your discussions here. The events have been canceled until further notice, and there will be problem with missing them.
Over the next few days I will be talking with Aliensvortex and Brian to try and find a solution to this problem if worst comes to worst and we need to create an entire new forums.
*Update* - The clan forums are back and running with the new software. There are a few problems that we need to fix, and also mods and skins need to be reinstalled. The forums should be ready soon though.
I will keep this updated with any news on the topic.

03-Dec-2006 – New Herald Article!
Howdy! Our sixth Herald article has just been published, and this is also our first interview in the Herald. Last week was our official clan's birthday, and as this is our official clan, it can't go unnoticed! Therefore, we have interviewed one of the clan's High Council members, Sk84ever159. Due to obvious reasons, there is no dedicated topic for comments about this interview, but we hope that you will enjoy reading the article anyway! Many thanks to [M]ike for this great interview.
02-Dec-2006 – Guide to Essence Running
Hello everyone. Today, we've added a new Guide to Essence Running to Global RuneScape! Many thanks to Syntax Error for writing this great guide!
Essence running is a way to quickly level up the Runecrafting skill. The crafter, usually a high leveled character, takes a large amount of noted rune essence. He/she waits at the one of the Runecrafting altars, usually air or law, while other characters, the essence runners, take un-noted rune essence to the crafter. The crafter then gives the runner money or runes and noted rune essence in exchange for un-noted rune essence. The more runners participating, the quicker the experience builds up. If you want to know more about essence running, and its benefits, then feel free to check out our new guide!

Many thanks to Thegreateddy for writing both guides!
26-Nov-2006 – The Knowledge Base: Killing fan sites?
It's sunday again, and it's time for a new article in the Global RuneScape Herald! Today, we've published the first article written by someone else than our main editor. But don't worry! This week's article, written by [M]ike, is just as good as all the other articles. So take your time to read the latest article; The Knowledge Base: Killing fan sites? After you've read the article, feel free to post any comments, thoughts or ideas you might have in this topic!
In other news, a Heroes' Guild Basement map has been added to the Dungeon maps section and the Heroes' Guild guide. This map was also made by [M]ike. Thanks!

21-Nov-2006 – Extra herald article - Hunter Skill: Review
Hello all! We know it's not sunday yet (in fact, the last article was added 2 days ago), but with the new Hunter skill, we decided to add an extra article today. This article, Hunter Skill: Review, is, as the title suggests, about the newest skill. Don't worry, won't affect future Herald articles, so be prepared for yet another article on Sunday.
19-Nov-2006 – New Herald article and Sheep herder
It's sunday again, and it's time for a new article for a new article in the Herald. This week's article, RuneScape, in historical context, is about the medieval theme of RuneScape, and the differences between RuneScape and the real medieval period. Of course, magic, dragons and elves are completely fictional, but there is a lot that looks medieval, but in fact, it isn't! When you've read the article, feel free to discuss the article here.
We have also added a new quest guide for the Sheep Herder quest! We hope you like both additions, and we look forward to a new week, with new updates (and maybe even a new skill...?). Enjoy!

18-Nov-2006 – New guides + new section
Hello everyone! There are several updates today. Firstly, we've added a completely new section in our Atlas, "Other areas". A link to this section has been added to the main menu, and we've also added it to the Atlas index. This new section will contain guides that doesn't fit in the other sections of the atlas, including our new Wizards' Tower guide. Thanks to U1bd2005 for writing this great guide!
We hope that people will submit more guides in the future so this section can be filled up with good and helpful guides. We've also added a new Pyramid Plunder mini-game guide. Many thanks to [M]ike for this guide!

17-Nov-2006 – Monkey Madness quest guide
We've finally added a quest guide for the Monkey Madness quest! This guide has been requested by many members, and people have even contacted us directly through the website's contact form asking for this guide.
The King of the northern Gnomes, Narnode Shareen, is once again in need of your help. He recently decided to send an envoy of his Royal Guard, the 10th squad, to oversee the decommissioning of the Gnome owned ship-building facilities on the eastern coast of Karamja.
It has been quite some time since the 10th squad were dispatched and they have been deemed missing in action.
Can you unravel the mystery behind the deception? Can you separate the truth from the lies? Can you decide for yourself what is real and what is not?

10-Nov-2006 – TzHaar region guide
We've just added a guide for the TzHaar region! Many thanks to [M]ike for writing this guide!
In the depths of Karamaja volcano lies one of the Runescapes most challenging areas. This entire area is controlled by a powerful and ancient race known as the TzHaar. You can choose to either fight in the dangerous Fight Pits against some of Runescape's strongest players, or take on the challenge of fighting Runescape's strongest monsters in the Fight Caves. If you are one of the few who is succesful in either of these challenges, you will be rewarded with TokKul, which you can redeem for an impressive range of new and unique equipment, such as new weapons, a new shield , new jewlery and a new gem which can be crafted into a oynx amulet or ring!

08-Nov-2006 – Rimmington city guide
We've just added a city guide for Rimmington! Many thanks to Sk84ever159 for writing this guide!
Rimmington is a small town South West of Falador and West of Port Sarim. Due to its location, bordered to the west and the south by seas at the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Asgarnia, it is an isolated place with few visitors. Its most popular attractions are the mines located north-east of the town, and the house portal directly north of the town, which attracts the members training their Construction levels or trading materials for their houses.

27-Oct-2006 – My Arm's Big Adventure
To assist you with the newest quest in RuneScape, we've just added a quest guide for My Arm's Big Adventure! Many thanks to [M]ike for this great guide!
Trolls love goutweed. They love it so much that they've picked it all, and now they can't get any more. However, in his smelly kitchen in the Troll Stronghold, Burntmeat the cook has heard a rumour that goutweed is growing once again, for anyone who's got the skill to farm it. Can you teach his young assistant - a simple troll known as My Arm - to grow the precious goutweed? Will you overcome My Arm's stubbornness and ignorance to earn yourself Burntmeat's reward? Dare you accompany My Arm on this uniquely trollish expedition?
More importantly, can you survive an attack from a seriously large mountain-dwelling bird?

26-Oct-2006 – Swan Song
Say hello to our Swan Song quest guide, which has just been added to Global RuneScape! Many thanks to Syntax Error for writing this wonderful guide!
Out on the edge of the known world, the Piscatoris Fishing Colony stands on the brink of disaster. Angry sea trolls are emerging from the sea and attacking the colonists, preventing them from harvesting the valuable monkfish that live in those waters. A highly experienced adventurer will be needed to drive back the trolls for good.
The Colony's director, Herman Caranos, has a particular adventurer in mind: the notoriously amoral Wise Old Man of Draynor Village (allegations of his involvement in a spectacular bank robbery have never been substantiated).
If you're in the mood for a bit of combat, jump on the boat on the west side of the Gnome Stronghold, speak to the Colony's director and prepare to fight alongside the Wise Old Man as he embarks on his final adventure - his swan song.

We've just added a quest guide for the Underground Pass quest to the site! Many thanks to [M]ike for writing this guide and Chokelius for the pictures.
The Underground Pass, sealed for thousands of years, has now been re-opened to reveal a complex labyrinth of tunnels and chasms.
You must find a way through, and get one step closer to the evil King Tyras. But the road is long and it could be lonely.
When fatigue starts to take its toll, mental strength is what you'll need...

What is happening to all the fairy inhabitants and where has Fairy Nuff gone? Can you rise to the challenge of using the Fairy rings to search the other planes and Cure the Queen, in the second part of the Fairy Tale trilogy?

We have just released a quest guide for the Elemental Workshop II! Many thanks to Chokelius for making this fantastic guide!
Among the ancient scrolls and papers held at the Dig Site's Examination Centre scholars have discovered more references to the mysterious elemental ore. Recently they have uncovered a beaten book detailing long-lost uses for this odd material.
Can you decrypt the code that will lead you to the deeper depths of the Elemental Workshop? Can you get your head around fixing the mind-bending machinery, or will you fry your brain in the attempt?

30-Sep-2006 – Abyssal Runecrafting guide
We have just added the Abyssal Runecrafting guide! Many thanks to Thegreateddy for writing this great guide!
The Abyss is easily the best way to runecraft massive amounts of runes. People can gain massive amounts of wealth and Runecrafting experience through the abyss. Though of course, it is extremely dangerous. Access to the abyss is in the wilderness (always dangerous) and there are dangerous monsters within the abyss. Also you need to complete a mini-quest before you can use the abyss.

23-Sep-2006 – Bandit Camp
We've just added a city guide for the Bandit Camp! Many thanks to Low Fighter for writing this guide!
As you may have noticed, there has been a lack of updates lately. School has started again, and people that used to write many guides in the summer vacation don't have much spare time to submit guides. But we still need many quest guides, city guides, maps and all of the other guides, so please submit any missing guide!

The Myreque are fighting a desperate battle against the darkness of Morytania and he wishes to take them weapons to aid in the battle. Can you help him out?
In this guide, we have introduced a new way to display the maps that are opened on a link click. Previously, we simply linked to the image. Now, we are using javascript to display the map in the guide, so the image will be shown as all other images in the guide. Find a [map] link in the guide and test it for yourself, and click on the image to remove it again. If your browser doesn't support javascript or it is deactivated, the map will be loaded the old way.

02-Sep-2006 – New combat skill guide
A completely new Combat skill guide has replaced our old combat guide! The new guide has been written from scratch by Syntax Error, and is not an expanded version of our old guide. Thanks to Syntax Error for this guide!
Combat is probably the biggest and most widely trained of all the skills in RuneScape, it's a very useful skill. This guide will explain and help familiarize you with the collection of skills that we know as the combat skills. These skills play an important role in RuneScape; they are the cornerstone of pking, the focus of many mini-games and quests, and a big source of money and items for players. Without combat, how else would you be able to slay dragons if you didn't know how to fight?

01-Sep-2006 – New shoutbox
The shoutbox on the main page has been replaced with a new one. The new shoutbox is now integrated into our forums, so only registered members can shout, but all guests can still view the shoutbox. This was done because our old shoutbox was remotely hosted, and attracted too many spammers.
Forum moderators and administrators are able to edit and delete all shouts.
All our forum smilies are working for the shoutbox too, but only the bold, italic and underline BBCodes are parsed. Lastly, for those of you using Internet Explorer, you will notice that there is a small white space next to the shouts. This is the space that a scrollbar should have been appeared in, and when more shouts are posted, it will be shown correctly. There is nothing we can do with it.

After you foiled a plan to destroy the Grand Tree things have been quiet in the gnome world. Brimstail has found a strange machine, though, built by Oaknock the Engineer during the Gnomes' Golden Age. What does the weird device do? Why on RuneScape was it built?
If you agree to help this bookworm gnome get this confusing device working, you will learn a little about gnome magicks, gnome history, and you will start to uncover a new threat (or is it an old one?) to gnome security - a threat that is a lot harder to see ...

Now let us take a closer observation of the place itself.

We are still working a lot on on the backend part of the site. New and improved site engine is being developed, and it will take some time to transfer all guides to the new system. But no guides will be taken offline, nothing will happen before the system is ready to be published. The new system will make it easier for us to add guides, and will include a new search engine for the site, and a new way to submit updates and corrections to our existing guides. So if you submit a guide and it is accepted, it will be added, but it may take a while.

23-Jun-2006 – More Downtime
Our host is having problems with their servers for some reason. It sends everything that is on the .net domain of the site offline. When you see this don't be alarmed. Even if it says it will be down for a month or some period of time, it usually comes back up in a few minutes for some reason. So if the site is down, just come back in 5 minutes or so and refresh the page.

We are happy to announce that the clan is back! All known security holes has now been fixed, and the forums are now fully patched and upgraded to the latest version. We are now working on a new system tracking absolutely all actions done on both servers, detecting IP adresses even if a proxy is used. This is a very complex system which is not implemented yet, but we hope to implement it as soon as possible.
EDIT: The clan was down for 2 hours while we double-checked every file on the server. The hacker still had access to the server by using some files that he had uploaded. Everything is up again.

25-Apr-2006 – Varrock city guide
We've just added another great guide by Runeman9230 and Andymacky999: The Varrock city guide!
This great city lies in the centre of the F2P (Free to play) worlds and is one of the largest city in the realm of RuneScape. It is also the comfortable home of King Roald, master of the Kingdom of Misthalin.
We apologize for the large downtime yesterday. There was a power outage at our host's datacentre, and the backup power generators were not activated. As a result of this, Global RuneScape was down in 2 hours. Again, we apologize, and hope this won't happen again.
Please note that even if the .com server is down, you can use our forums which are on another server!

20-Apr-2006 – Pest Control guide
We have just added a minigame guide for the newest minigame, the Pest Control! Many thanks to Arne-Christian who wrote this excellent guide!
The Void Knights are devoted to keeping the balance that exists on Gielinor as decreed by Guthix. In the past this meant little more than the odd assassination but times are changing. Recently creatures from another realm have started breaking through into this one, though so far their incursions are limited to small islands to the south.
Outposts were constructed near the areas of regular breaches to house the Void Knights whose magic was used to close the portals. Unfortunately the invaders have become more aggressive and have managed to overrun some outposts before the ritual could be completed. Can someone help the Void Knights' effort and fight back against the creatures?

We have just added a guide for the Between a Rock... quest. Many thanks to G M0n3y!
Hidden away from the fearsome trolls and the roaming Fremennik, the dwarves delve deep beneath the mountains in search for the ore they need to support their home of Keldagrim. One dwarf in particular, however, has for years been trying to crack open a rock that seems to be impervious to any material that he's tried on it.
Convinced that solving the riddle of the rock will lead him to unimaginable wealth, he has spent the latter part of his life on just this lump of stone. Help him out, but take care you don't end up in a tight spot!

20-Mar-2006 – Global RuneScape 1 year - New calculator set!!
Believe it or not, Global RuneScape has its first birthday today! The site started out as a small site only coded in HTML with InvisionFree forums, and in many months, we were just a small site. There were only a few visitors coming to the site every days, usually below 50. We bought a domain in September, and the site has grown much since that.
Today, we are proud to announce the 1-year birthday. We are releasing a completely new set of 10 incredible calculators - more advanced than any other RuneScape calculators! In addition to our old calculators, it has a new and improved layout, the possibility to show/hide pictures, hide member items, a new progress bar, and even more!
So, check out our new Advanced Calculators!
For everyone who have submitted guides in the forums lately, I apologize for the lack of updates, but we will now add all guides that are good enough to be added.

12-Mar-2006 – Recent downtime - fixed
There has recently been a major downtime on Global RuneScape. As you may know, we used too much server ressources.
Our host suspended Global RuneScape, and that's why it was down.
Some of you also know that I was on a vacation, and I did not actually check the site, so I did not know anything. That's why the downtime dured 1 week.
We are moving huge parts of the site to a new server, and you will notice that many parts of the site, including the forums and topsites, now ends with .net and not .com.
NOTE: Absolutely nothing has been lost.

19-Feb-2006 – Downtime on monday
Because of the excessive amount of ressources used by the site, the forums, clan forums, topsites, signatures will be disabled. This will happen between 9 AM and 14 PM GMT monday 20th. The forums, clan forums and topsites will be inaccessible during this time. The topsite buttons on other sites and signatures will appear as broken images, and new signatures can not be created.
The main site with guides, maps and calculators will be unaffected, but the stats lookup on the calculators will also be disabled.
We are doing this to find out which part of the site causing the high server load and memory usage. We really apologize for any inconvenience, but this is really needed.
NOTE: All parts except the topsites and signatures are up. Unfortunately, we have still not found which script that are using the ressources.

17-Feb-2006 – New topsites
Our old topsites used way too much server ressources, and we have replaced it with a new topsite. All members have been transferred to the new topsite system.
Our new topsites are located at http://top100.global-rs.net/ and have much more features than our old one.
You have to change your button code in order to get votes for your site. This can be done by logging into the User Control Panel in our new topsites. Your username is the SITE NAME you used when you registered. So, if you registered with "My RuneScape Site", then that would be your username. You can request a new username in our forums. Your password is the same as the one you used in the old topsites. Once logged in, go to HTML code in the menu, and click "Generate code".
Unfortunately, the site banners were not transfered. You will have to set the banner again.
We hope this won't cause too many problems.
Sincerely,
The Global RuneScape Team

15-Feb-2006 – Server problems
We have been told by our host that we are using way too much server ressources. I am now trying to remove un-needed parts in scripts, and trying to find out which script causes the high server load. As you know, we have these forums, the clan forums, the main site, newspaper, topsites, dynamic stat sigs and clan site being worked on.
Since we are working on finding the issue and trying to fix it, guides will be added more slowly. We also apologize for the lack of updates the last weeks, but the coders have too much to do and does not have enough spare time to work on them.
On a more positive note, we are working on a huge update next month, including a completely new guide section found on no other sites, improved calculators, and if possible, new stat sigs. We will of course add the submitted guides too.

30-Dec-2005 – Skill calculator updates
All of our skill calculators, excluding the new combat calculator, has been updated. Firstly, we have added a stat lookup to them, so you can now simply enter your RuneScape name, and the stats will be loaded.
Secondly, the results are always rounding UP, so if you have 80 XP in a skill, you will be told that you need to do something once, instead of just rounding it down and showing a zero. Thus, the calculators are more accurate than before.
We hope you like the updates!

Other updates

02-Aug-2005 – New skill guide: Slayer
Todays update is a Slayer Guide! Again, thanks to myself for writing the guide.
This is a Members-only skill. In slayer, a slayer master give you a task, that you will have to complete. The tasks are always different monsters, in all levels. From the easiest slayer masters, you can be assigned to kill a few goblins, while the hardest can give you tons of dragons to kill. The XP you get, is the same amount as the monster's hitpoint. Also, if you're assigned to kill Giants, you can kill everything with "Giant" in it's name: Hill Giant, Moss Giant etc. So, if you're assigned to kill goblins, you will get more XP from killing Hobgoblins, since they have more hitpoints than a normal goblin, but they're harder to kill.
Well, I don't say anything more. This is a very interresting skill as you never know what your next task will be. So, why not check our new guide and start the training?

The last 3 days I have spent my time on recoding GlobalRS to PHP, a dynamic programming language. This will make it easier to update the site, and there will hopefully be more updates.

Lastly, you couldn't scroll when your mouse was over the menus, header or forum-loginbox. You can now click there to scroll, too.
