Wilderness and free trade to return 1st Feb 2011

[Kyle]

Thank you to all those of you who took part in the historic RuneScape Referendum, which ended on Friday. We received an incredible 1.2 million votes, with a united 91% of you voting for the restoration of free trade and the Wilderness. We have heard your call and will be restoring these much loved features to RuneScape on Tuesday 1st February.

The clock is ticking and you have just two weeks to get ready for this monumental update. To help you prepare, we will be releasing a series of guides, FAQs and expert advice about the Wilderness and free trade, so that players both old and new can get ready for this epic release.

Now it is up to you to prepare for battle, level your account, gear up your armour and equip yourself for the ultimate Wilderness experience.

There is just one question left unanswered: are you ready?

Hmm quite interesting. Bets on how long until it gets removed again.

I don't think they would. It would be like company suicide. They got away with it first time, but adding and taking it away would be even worse. Oh and I don't think I'll play too much.

I wonder what will happen to the prices of stuff. I can see santas going down a lot. Masks probably. Phats staying high. Not too sure with discs/easter/pumpkin. Before the 2007 update santas were like 20m? pumpkin/easter 8m? Masks 20-30m?

everything is crashing, santa hoarders gonna be gutted when they go back down to 20-30m
