We've written a lot about combat-orientated multiplayer content in RuneScape recently. This mostly focused on the way that it had been relegated to the sidelines, until the introduction of PvP worlds invited it back into the heart of the game. There's one aspect, however, that we haven't mentioned: its relationship with skill-orientated multiplayer content.
We felt that producing a piece of content, which would appeal both to those players who prefer combat and those who prefer non-combat skills, was a major challenge for us. So, we put our thinking caps on and the result is this month?s headline update: 'Stealing Creation'. Stealing Creation will be a new 'safe' minigame, where teams of players work together to control resources across the game area. This area will change each time the game is played, so you will need to keep your tactics varied.
The game will focus on collecting 'sacred clay', thought to be the building blocks used by gods to create worlds. You'll enter the minigame with nothing, which means you'll need to use your skills to gather resources and make the equipment you need to dominate the game. For those of you who are just as happy making swords as you are using them, it will offer lots of choice as to the kind of experience you want to have playing the game. But what of the pure skillers? Can you create equipment for your battling buddies while they defend your back? Can those doing the fighting rely on someone else to make them powerful? With the added ability to fight as a clan, battles can be organised for very specific groups of players. So, if you want to gather with your clan buddies to take on your enemies, you will be able to.
Speaking of enemies, Zamorak was once mortal like the rest of us, but through clever manipulation and some devious planning he became revered as a god in Gielinor. The god wars that followed brought about great destruction and change ? it would be impossible to do that now, wouldn?t it? What does it take for something like that to happen? Gathering some of the most important artefacts and keenest minds to research them would be a good start...but that is bound to attract attention, isn?t it?
That?s where our November quest will join things. Specialists and concerned dignitaries will be gathered to discuss the whereabouts of the Staff of Armadyl, an ancient and powerful artefact from RuneScape?s distant past. All they will need is a willing adventurer to conduct the more interesting parts of the...investigation. Will this link to the mysterious dragonkin symbols found recently, or the rumours of the dragon forge? While Guthix sleeps through the centuries, treachery is afoot, and terrible dangers appear on the horizon. In our first Grandmaster quest ever, with the longest, deepest storyline we have ever attempted, it will take an expert adventurer to find out.
Finally, after that huge update will come something much, much smaller! For a few days over the last weekend of November, you?ll notice Thanksgiving turkeys wandering around the map, gobbling and generally minding their own business. Hunt them down for some tasty drumsticks or find the turkeys in disguise for a special reward. Look out for more short celebration updates like this in the future.

Updates after November
The Phoenix
Some months ago, we asked you to vote on the next Summoning familiar, and you chose the phoenix. There were some great discussions on the forums taking the idea far beyond what we had originally imagined, so we decided to expand the idea out to another 'Distraction and Diversion' similar to the Shooting Star update or Bork from the Chaos Tunnels. You?ll find this update (planned for early next year) features not only a new Summoning creature and a repeatable activity, but also a quest!
Mobilising Armies
With any tactical game you need to spend a long time fine-tuning its different aspects to try to make it as fair, balanced and fun as possible. Mobilising Armies, our headline update for December, is no different and we have been working hard to tweak the key scenarios for this: Conflict, Siege, Hoard and Rescue. We'll have more on this update in next month's Behind the Scenes but in the meantime we have another screenshot for you.

A magical portal has appeared in the Wilderness, and a group of mystics has set up camp around it. The portal leads to the ?Primordial Realm?, an unfinished world in which sacred clay, the building material of the gods, lies scattered around. The mystics are recruiting adventurers to go through the portal and retrieve the clay. To serve their purposes, however, they believe the clay must be tempered by bloodshed, so they will only send volunteers through in two teams that must compete against one another. No items can be taken through the portal, so the teams will have to make any equipment they need out of sacred clay when they arrive.
Nearly every RuneScape skill has a use in Stealing Creation, whether for extracting sacred clay from locations, making it into equipment, or thwarting the other team's efforts. Skill-focused players can concentrate on gathering or processing the clay, while those who prefer combat defend them or harass the other team. Whenever a player is killed, all the sacred clay items they are carrying will drop to the ground for the victor to pick up. Players can build barriers to defend key locations, summon new creatures made of sacred clay, and even pick one another's pockets.
The mystics will reward those who serve them well, so players can buy new combat and skill items that inherit the shape-changing properties of sacred clay.

In other news...
The Hallowe?en Trick or Treat event has been removed. The Swept Away quest will remain in-game as a piece of members' content. To start the quest, you?ll need to speak to Maggie, who has moved her caravan to a spot just west of the Legends' Guild.
It seems the bracelet of regeneration was not only boosting the rate at which you regain Hitpoints but also the rate at which Hitpoints returned to normal after using potions with boosting effects. This has been fixed so the temporary boost always wears off at an ordinary rate.
We've fixed a bug that may have caused the in-game world map to not load every time.
The Fishing Trawler is for Fishing, so we have prevented players from leeching experience while undertaking other activities such as Fletching or enchanting items. This isn't fair to the legitimate players, and now the Trawler might not sink quite as often.
Several hats were still causing baldness, these have been rectified so you should retain your hairstyles. There were also numerous other graphical tweaks regarding clipping and render priority issues such as spiky hair appearing through hats.
And last but not least, some of you may have found that a lazy purple cat from the Hallowe'en event wouldn't change into a wily cat after exercise. This has been adjusted so your cat can become healthier again.

Has anyone told you that you have no life?
lol, who actually reads the dialogue in quests unless you have to?
And when it gives you a choice, take the logical path, unless the other path involves flame throwers and giant turtles.

This month's Players' Gallery has the greatest mix of art styles that Postie Pete has ever seen. Plasticine, balloon models, watercolours, felt tips and computer renders all feature in a gallery that will truly dazzle you.
Keep your fantastic submissions coming in and you may find them starring in a future Players' Gallery!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halloween may well have been and gone, but our sister site, FunOrb, is keeping the horror theme alive with our latest release, Zombie Dawn Multiplayer: Fight of the Living Dead. Building on the popular single-player version, Zombie Dawn Multiplayer brings you 2- to 4-player shuffling action, as you try to capture and/or zombify more humans than your opponents and get them back to your research lab before the time runs out.
The more zombies you're able to get into your portal, the more Research Points you earn. These points are allocated to the power-ups and zombie traits that you can use on your zombies (of which there are LOTS to discover) allowing you to mould your zombie horde to your own style of play. You'll also find that if you're able to herd a few live humans into the portal, too, you'll get a lot more points.
The gameplay of the single-player version was always something we wanted to build on. With the multiplayer version, we've aimed to retain key elements of the original while building an evolutionary path that opens up more strategies the further you get into it. So, for example, dropping a hammer on an opponent's zombie can thwart their carefully laid plans. We hope you enjoy the many ways that this game allows you to cause mayhem! This brings FunOrb to a total of 33 games, 10 of which are multiplayer.

21st November 2008 - Q&As, Charity Auctions and a RuneScape 2009 calendar!
A few things to update you on this week ? first of which is our Question and Answer session with Tom Church, author of the first ever RuneScape novel, Betrayal at Falador. Head to this forum thread now, to ask any question you like (while sticking to the forum rules, of course!), and in two week?s time we will post Tom?s responses to his favourites.
In other book-related news, we are currently auctioning ten signed novels (one per week) for charity. Each copy is numbered and signed by author TS Church, RuneScape creator Andrew Gower, cover-artist Giuseppe Grassi, Lead Game Designer Mark Ogilvie, and Jagex CEO Geoff Iddison.
All proceeds from this auction go directly to our chosen charity: The Internet Watch Foundation. The IWF aim to minimise the availability of potentially illegal internet content, so get involved and bid for your copy here. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has already been involved with the auction, and congratulations to the successful bidders so far! Please ensure that all bids are genuine ? this is a charity listing, after all, and we want to raise as much money and awareness as possible for such a great cause.
Lastly, but certainly not least, we have just released the first official RuneScape calendar in the Jagex store! This 2009 calendar features some familiar faces from Gielinor, as well as some never-before-seen concept art. Get yours today by clicking here. Also, be sure to keep a keen eye on the Jagex Store over the next week or two, as we have some fantastic offers planned for the Christmas period. There might even be a dragon-themed item of clothing on the way...

24th November 2008 - Buy RuneScape Membership as a Gift
As we?re rapidly approaching Thanksgiving and the holiday season, we wanted to remind you how easy it is to buy membership and also to let you know of a few payment methods that you might not be aware of.
If you?re thinking of buying membership either for yourself or as a present, we currently have 2 RuneScape-specific game time cards that you can purchase.
Firstly, we have RuneScape game-time cards that are sold in Target stores across the U.S., and we have two versions available, a one month subscription and a three month subscription.
For those players in Europe, look out for Wallie Cards, which can be bought in a host of stores, such as CostCutter (with a PayPoint logo), Esso, Total, Hema, Aral, bft and Westfalen. Wallie Cards can be used to purchase RuneScape membership and come in a number of different amounts.
We also have an Ultimate Game Card which can be bought in places such as Walmart, 7 Eleven, Rite Aid & Winn Dixie. These cards are available from our payment partner, PayByCash, and will have their stamp on the front.
Depending on where you live, you may also be able to pay by phone or by mobile! Make sure you check out the subscription pages to see if these simple payment options are available in your country. We?re planning to add more countries to the list soon.
If you're looking for some other RuneScape-themed gifts, keep an eye on the Jagex Store, which will have some new items available in time for Christmas.

We're working on a major change to the way in which the Stealing Creation rewards work, so we thought we'd let you know in advance what we're planning to do. The change will take place by the end of the year and will have the following effects:
We're aware that there was a bug in the first few days after release that let some players get a lot of points very quickly. This has since been fixed, but some players had already used it to get an unfair number of points. When we make the change, we will also bring everyone's points down to a reasonable level. A player will be able to have up to 10 tools, 10 pieces of combat equipment, and 200,000 stored points. Any more than this will be lost. So if you have more than this, now is the time to use them!
After the change, no Combat experience will be given inside the Stealing Creation minigame. Instead, the sacred clay combat equipment rewards will give experience in the same way that the tools do.
Both the tools and the combat equipment will give experience at a greater rate than at present. In fact, while you are using a sacred clay tool or piece of combat equipment, the experience you gain will be doubled! (The volatile tool will still give a little more on top of this.) On the other hand, the equipment will run out of charge a bit faster than it does now.
The reward items will not have a set number of times they can transform; instead, they will gradually lose charge as they give you experience. Up until they run out of charge, they can be changed freely. (The volatile tool works slightly differently; it will change by itself for every 10% of its total charge that is used, and if you change it deliberately it will lose some charge.)
The reward points you buy items with will work differently. At the end of a game, your personal score for that game will be converted into a reward score, and it will be this reward score that you use to buy items.

Gobble, gobble, gobble; it?s a turkey invasion! For the first time ever, turkeys are seeking refuge in RuneScape to escape their holiday blues. They may have underestimated their safety here, though. From this Thanksgiving until Monday, we give you the opportunity to get your own turkey dinner: through combat or your keen turkey-spotting skills.
Attackable turkeys are roaming around near the major cities of RuneScape on both members? and free worlds. Kill one and you?ll get some tasty turkey meat, but you may also be lucky enough to unlock a new Thanksgiving emote.
If killing isn?t your style, there are other turkeys lurking around in clever disguises. Find one and you?ll get a clue to the location of another. If you get a bit stuck looking for the turkeys, speak to the Cook?s brother in Lumbridge Castle and he?ll give you a book to help you keep track. Find all ten and you?ll unlock the new Thanksgiving emote.
To sweeten the deal, we?ve added a new object to the game: the cornucopia. Being a ?horn of plenty?, the cornucopia is useful for storing food and taking up fewer inventory spaces. You can store up to 14 Hitpoints? worth of food inside, and one click will replenish your health by the amount you?ve stored. While the turkeys are visiting RuneScape, they?ll be readily available, but after the holiday you?ll have to look a bit harder for them when you kill certain birds.
This update will only last 'til Monday (GMT), so enjoy it while you can!
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
Mod Nancy
RuneScape Developer
Summary:
Thanksgiving update will only last until Monday (GMT)
Fight turkeys near Falador, Lumbridge and Varrock
Find 10 turkeys in disguises around the free-to-play world
Unlock a new Thanksgiving emote
The cornucopia stores food and heals up to 14 Hitpoints
Cornucopia will be available after Thanksgiving as a drop from certain birds

26th November 2008 - While Guthix Sleeps
Movario licked his dry, cracked lips, not taking his eyes off the ancient book in front of him. His hand, acting almost like a separate entity, scratched spidery notes onto parchment. He knew who V was, but the references to the stone intrigued him. Fragmentary thoughts were gathering, forming up together into something important ? but something was missing, some key detail. With trembling fingers he turned the yellowed page.
?The stone was clearly not of this world...?
A triumphant scratch of Movario's quill tore through the parchment. That was it! After all this time his research was finally bearing fruit!
The antiquated surroundings of the temple afforded little warmth, and the only luxury was the lone, guttering candle by which he read. The chill still reached inside, but it did not register for Movario as his unyielding research ground on through the days.

The Quick Chat menu wasn?t showing some of the minigames available to play when trying to organise a group. This issue has been resolved.
You will now find that entering the chaos portal in the Dagon'Hai caves works with an omni-talisman. The omni-staff and -tiara were fine, but this one was missed and has now been added accordingly.
The abyssal parasite familiar will now prevent your Prayer from being drained when teleporting into the abyss, exactly as it's supposed to.
Free players who had started the recent Hallowe?en quest, Swept Away, but managed to misplace their broom couldn?t chat to Maggie to get another. Rest assured, Wendy is now ready to send you to Maggie who will replace your broom should you lose it again.

Attackable turkeys are roaming around near the major cities of RuneScape on both members? and free worlds. Kill one and you?ll get some tasty turkey meat, but you may also be lucky enough to unlock a new Thanksgiving emote.
If killing isn?t your style, there are other turkeys lurking around in clever disguises. Find one and you?ll get a clue to the location of another. If you get a bit stuck looking for the turkeys, speak to the Cook?s brother in Lumbridge Castle and he?ll give you a book to help you keep track. Find all ten and you?ll unlock the new Thanksgiving emote.
To sweeten the deal, we?ve added a new object to the game: the cornucopia. Being a ?horn of plenty?, the cornucopia is useful for storing food and taking up fewer inventory spaces. You can store up to 14 Hitpoints? worth of food inside, and one click will replenish your health by the amount you?ve stored. While the turkeys are visiting RuneScape, they?ll be readily available, but after the holiday you?ll have to look a bit harder for them when you kill certain birds.
This update will only last 'til Monday (GMT), so enjoy it while you can!
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

26th November 2008 - While Guthix Sleeps
Movario licked his dry, cracked lips, not taking his eyes off the ancient book in front of him. His hand, acting almost like a separate entity, scratched spidery notes onto parchment. He knew who V was, but the references to the stone intrigued him. Fragmentary thoughts were gathering, forming up together into something important ? but something was missing, some key detail. With trembling fingers he turned the yellowed page.
?The stone was clearly not of this world...?
A triumphant scratch of Movario's quill tore through the parchment. That was it! After all this time his research was finally bearing fruit!
The antiquated surroundings of the temple afforded little warmth, and the only luxury was the lone, guttering candle by which he read. The chill still reached inside, but it did not register for Movario as his unyielding research ground on through the days.
