Trick-or-Treat
??

18-October-2021

It's a very spook-tac-ular month with another update only a week later! It is that time for the Halloween Event and time for everybody to get their costumes on!

The 2009scape Halloween event is officially going live! Head on over to Draynor and speak to Grim to find out about this year's spooky celebrations! Some important notes about the event:

  • Up to 22 NPCs can be trick-or-treated
  • Max of 5 candies per day.
  • Unique item that is exclusive to 2009scape

    • If you get all 5 every day of the event you will 100% be able to afford every single reward (even the secret ones!)

    There are NO credit rewards this year :)
The event will end on November 1st.

Botting News

After much consideration, deliberation, economical analysis, etc. We have decided that it is ultimately for the betterment of the server to disable the ability for players to run botscripts on the live server. We have determined that botscripts have had a detrimental impact on the economy, and community. This decision was difficult to make, and has been discussed in-depth for months.


TIMELINE

Player botscripts will be permanently disabled on the live server when the Halloween event comes to a close on November 1st, 2021.

Botscripts will not be completely removed from the codebase. There will be a config option to allow singleplayer users to re-enable this feature with ease, so that none of the work put towards botscripts goes to waste. We will still welcome contributions of botscripts into the codebase.

TL;DR The ability to use bot scripts on the live server will be disabled November 1st, 2021. Those that host their own server, or run the single player version will have to re-enable it in the configuration.



With the removal of bots scripts comes two new random events!

  • The Evil Chicken Returns!
  • The Genie is back to give some more exp rewards
  • More random events are to come in future updates


Become part of the Goblins

As many of you know our Discord has a bot resident named Zanik. She has some great commands that you can find here In the 2009 Quest, Land of Goblins, you were able to be named a goblin name through the Gower's famous goblin name generator. We thought it was a cute idea to add that feature to Zanik! Now with the simple command *goblify you are able to randomly get a goblin name!
