My Runescape Diary

The new Christmas event is out, its a short event and the end result is a glass dome with a model of Lumbridge castle in it that snows when you shake it, big deal!!!

Well actually it is a big deal, the event although initially is quick can be fun when you get to the land of snow, you can build snow warriors, mages and rangers and get them to fight with each other, you can keep your snowman alive by pelting it with snowballs it is quite possible to spend hours there just fighting other snowmen.

There is always a downside and this event has been left open to be exploited by "bullies" the side of Runescape with the intellect slightly lower than the snowmen being built here, I guess these are the same people who like to complain and quit after every update. their activity that seems to float their boat is to watch people build snowmen and put their own parts on it before the person building it can, this means the person who did the work can not claim their snowman and have to start again, although its not a major thing in the whole context of things it is rather rude activity, perhaps they should be reported for bug abuse, they certainly are bugging.

And just a side note to the above paragraph, I have a few noob accounts and I collect the event items for each event for them, when collecting the snow dome I never witnessed the amoeba activity mentioned above on the f2p world, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen I just never witnessed it on any of my accounts, but noticed it on both mine and my sons members accounts.

That is not the best of the event, the best is infinite snowballs, shake your dome your inventory fills with snow balls, you can lob these at other players anywhere (Maybe not BH) myself and a group of friends spend ages yesterday pelting each other with snowballs, it was very cold but loads of fun was had by all, and all you guys who quit weekly because of the updates, you have your wildy back take your balls and get pelting.

This is the range equivalent of the rubber chicken, I was not aware of RS when the chicken came out so missed it, I would have given anything for that chicken but the snowball does fine for me now.

I have also heard of people at chinnies not being able to see their traps because of snow, this is a bind but must be funny to see, I have sympathy for you guys, I can see its a pain just wait until the novelty has warn off and things will be back to normal.

And a last note, there is/was a thread on the official forum in the same format as the the day Runescape died, I'm quitting threads about the snow update this time, it was just a take of the weekly update quitter protests, things like I am quitting I can not walk through Varrock without the fear of slipping and hurting myself, the penguins have released this in an attempt to overthrow Runescape, I am now quitting because of the ever increase of the danger of Polar Bear attacks.
