Chocolate eggs are lining the stores, which means it's almost time for...

Easter 2018!

Countdown to event start:

Our in-game Easter event will run from Tuesday, March 27th through Monday, April 2nd (US - Pacific Time).

All players will participate in the Easter Egg hunt, where there are multiple ways to get eggs.
One way is randomly by skilling or killing.
Or, you can find the Easter Chunny, the cute chicken bunny hiding throughout rscrevolution that gives Easter eggs as prizes.
You can open these eggs for a burst of XP in a skill of your choosing, as if a genie were granting your wish!

For patient adventurers, don't open your eggs!
The Chunny will exchange them for a new cosmetic item which will be discontinued after the event!
Finally, players will be able to enjoy 48 hours of double XP during the Easter event week.

We are excited to see who can hunt the most eggs and make the most gains this event, and we'll share the full details right before event goes live!

Note: These two items from previous Easters will become permanently untradable after April 2nd: 1-hr double XP egg, 3-hr double XP egg.

Other notes: there will be free PK weekend March 17-18.

End of Deadman: Season One

Deadman mode (DMM) was originally introduced as an endless game mode.
Unfortunately this has caused the mode to go stale and wane in popularity.

We have decided to restart DMM completely and run it as a seasonal tournament!
(You will not be able to create a new DMM character until S2.)

The Season Two Deadman tournament will begin in Summer 2018 and run for 2-3 months.
Subscriptions and cash prizes will be awarded for the best PKers and skillers.
To make it fair for everyone, old DMM chars will have to be retired from the mode at the end of every season.
This means they'll be changed into normal characters, with XP reduced proportionally.
Season One DMM will be converted to regular before the start of Season Two.

Here's some stats from Season One:

Deadliest Deadman: Try This. This was a contentious category with a lot of honorable mentions. But the mage tank Try This stands at a blistering 81 kills, 1 deaths.
Most skilled Deadman: Skull Kid. Successfully making it to rank 1 on the DMM highscores for skills, Skull Kid is the only listed DMM player to have maxed 99s in all skills.

Congratulations and a big thank you to all the players who participated in Season One!

Scope of Slayer Expansion

We are still working on slayer, but it's unlikely to see a March release. We'll avoid spoiling the new monsters, art, and items until release is imminent, but players have had a lot of questions about what slayer will add in general, which I can answer.

Slayer isn't just a new skill, it's actually a full expansion for RSCR. We aren't limiting ourselves to OSRS's vision of slayer, we have our own vision which has to be perfect to the look and feel of RSC. That means new monsters are coming to the deserts, jungles, frozen wastelands and volcanoes of rscrevolution.

It also means a lot of other new content is coming. We'll be expanding existing locations in the game, adding depth to areas you thought you knew by the back of your hand, as well as adding some new locations to the game map.

There will be new weapons and equipment for melee combat, magic, and ranged combat, which every seasoned player will be clamoring to acquire first.

There will be new armor and jewelry, with powerful abilities that let you take on outlandish beasts using strategies never before seen in RSC.

(And, it goes without saying, this is not even counting the new items and gear you'll need to defeat the new monsters.)

Finally, we will adding new abilities, such as spells that fundamentally change the way high level players travel around the game.

And, of course, everything will be fully balanced for RSC and not affect PvP in any way.
