Wow!  Another year has gone by already!  We would like to list some highlights from 2018 all in one post, for everyone to see.
I am sure that I have probably missed a lot of things.  The list is long!

We do know that there are still many things that our community wants changed, and we are doing our best to accommodate the majority.  We will continue in 2019 to work hard to get things done.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our members for another successful year for RSCR.

• 1 IP fixes: We have implemented more secure measures to prevent Multi while in a 1 IP zone
• Fixed bug where you could use territory bank to access your personal bank, using the quick gear buttons
• Loot from kills while in territory will now go directly into territory bank.  This will make fighting for the territory more appealing again

Revenant Wilderness Boss Returned

The Revenant roams around in the eastern 1v1 wilderness north of Varrock, so go well-geared and with friends.
He will run to eat and cast on you like a real PKer; he also has three prayers: (50% block range, mage, or melee).
He drops PK gear and other goodies. He only attacks people who have attacked him recently, and has perfect catching.

We acquired our old competitor, RSCLegacy. After the shutdown, some Legacy players migrated here.
We made the decision to allow players to transfer their RSCL Characters to RSCR!

Some Memorable Events and Additions from 2018

Automated Events
Kleio created and implemented 3 types of automated events, with a variety of character builds, 16 to be exact.

1v1  Tournaments for 8 or 16 participants

Free For All & Hunger Games

Wilderness Drop Party Area

New Manual Event Areas
1v1 - 2v2 etc Tournaments Arena

Boxing Arena

Mod Wu's Gauntlet Arena

Laser Tag Arena

Newly Created area for PK Events ( This Arena will be made into something new!)

April 7th - Mandatory PK

A mistake was made when using a command and whole server was summoned into a high level wilderness free for all event.

A total of 35 people died, everyone who died got the items lost added to their inventories, the people who managed to grab high value items got them removed from their inventories.

Everyone else who left their characters in the arena will find them appearing in Edgeville as they login.

I'm very sorry for the stress that this may have caused, I was in shock after typing the ::shuffle command, it shuffled things alright...

The only positive thing i can see out of this situation, is a pretty funny video of probably the biggest public screw up in RSCPS history.

@3:40

June 7th - Wilderness Drop Party

July - DeadMan Mode Season 2

DeadMan Season 2

Closing of rscrevolution RSC, August 6th
