Last year saw a number of great content updates and improvements to the game, and this was just the beginning. We have some ambitious plans for 2012, as we continue to invest more than ever before in RuneScape to add even more exciting updates and improvements to the game.

From the 1st of February 2012, we will be increasing the RuneScape membership prices for new members. The new 1 month membership price will be $7.95 in the US, £4.95 in the UK and €6.95 in the euro zone.

In appreciation of our existing members, there will be no change whatsoever to anyone who is a member before the 1st February. The price you pay now will be locked in for as long as you stay a loyal member and we will even allow a seven day grace period should you forget to renew.

If you’re a free player who was thinking about becoming a member, now is the perfect opportunity. Not only will you be able to experience all the benefits RuneScape membership offers, but you will also be able to secure the current price of $5.95/£3.50/€5.95! Simply sign up for membership before Wednesday 1st February*.

An adventurer is most at home when confronted with an unexplored dungeon. So, this week, we present one that is dark, mysterious, loaded with rewards and offering a surprise at every turn. Would an adventurer expect any less? But, in this sulphurous, highly flammable cave network, something more hazardous stirs. A mysterious entity lies in wait; urging you forward; hungry for revenge and fire. A foe such as this can’t be faced in a straight-up fight, so it’s only with ingenuity, guile and a heart of flame that you’ll come away unburned.

RuneScape has been recognised as Best Browser Game and Game of the Year in Massively.com's First Annual Frindie Awards! Needless to say, we’re hugely happy with this achievement and proud to receive such high praise.

RuneScape was commended for its accessibility, the sheer volume and variety of content available, and the frequency of its updates, as well as for the decisive blow struck against bots last year. It's truly awesome to see that, even at 11 years old and with the competition fiercer than ever, RuneScape still stands out from the crowd.

While we’re looking bleary eyed and shaggy after New Year, we can honestly say that the reworked Barrows and Barrows Brothers are faring much better! Head to southern Morytania, as the Barrows Brothers are waiting and they look nothing short of dazzling.

The first change you’ll notice is to the surface environment. Creeping mist encircles your feet, and the mounds genuinely look like a resting place for the damned, rather than a series of grassy hillocks. Next, take a deep breath and delve below the surface, where you’ll be thoroughly unsettled by the dank and imposing crypts.

Happy New Year! January’s filled with graphical reworks of the Barrows dungeon, equipment and the brothers themselves, along with a temporary chance for extra drops, including a draconic visage. There’s a flaming fantastic new grandmaster quest for high-level firemakers, too, which opens up a new training method and two circus activities. Finally, there’s the return of Hati, along with her brother Skoll, giving you another healthy dose of bonus XP, and a brand-new look for Burthorpe.
