Log Out Timer Update

By Elyxiatic on 13/01/2009

Firstly, the logout timer has been increased from ninety seconds to five minutes. This means that you will not be automatically logged out before this amount of time has passed – particularly useful when you want to check the forums or the Game Guide while training combat or chopping down trees. The only exception to this is if you lose connection; if this happens, you will be automatically logged out after 30 seconds as usual (or after 60 seconds if you lose connection during combat). Make sure you stay on the watch for random events, and for other players who want to talk to you.

Secondly, we have had a look at the way the chat filter works. We have removed a number of words from the filter lists, which should make it easier for you to communicate in game. There is still a lot of work to be done, but rest assured that we will continue to work on this project over the course of the year. Please remember to be polite when communicating with other players: we are still on the look-out for people who don’t play by the rules.

Thirdly, we have introduced an alternative location for the Varrock teleport for players who would prefer to land near the Grand Exchange. If you have completed all the easy tasks in the Varrock Achievement Diary, you will now have the option of teleporting to the south entrance of the Grand Exchange. All you have to do to change your teleport location is talk to Rat Burgiss (if you’ve completed the easy tasks), Reldo (if you’ve completed the medium tasks) or Vannaka (if you’ve completed the difficult tasks). This will also affect your teleport tablets, as well as the portals and scrying pools in your house. You can of course change your teleport location back to the original spot in the market square at any time.

Who is happy now that they can go to the toilet and actually take their time!!!
I usually have to rush things, because I don't want to put in my bank pin again.
I can actually sit on the toilet and have a 4.5 minute dump.
Wow, I probably won't know myself, I have so much time to actually sit on the toilet.
It'll be my 2nd home

Epic.

Oh and the grand exchange teleport is quite cool.
I hated having to run from edge/varrock.

Discuss.

Edit: Don't afk for 5 mins.

Although this will be great for fishing and woodcutting.

A change has been made to allow dragon daggers, and their poisoned versions, to be converted to coins via CoinShare.

By Tezza Rulz12 on 13/01/2009

You mean your dumps dont take 85 seconds?

Nice update

By Fullmetal792 on 13/01/2009

The five minutes won't really bother me since I usually log out to take a dump anyway... However, the GE teleport sounds good, all I need to do now is the Achievement Diary... Overall however...

By Abmanju on 13/01/2009

Lol "Log out timer increased to five minutes" translates to "You can have a dump for longer now"

to most of you xD

But it is quite true =D

Lmao thats nice rob!

By George on 13/01/2009

You obviously haven't seen the flaw of this....
When you're like doing something dangerous in RS and you dc.... the one safety is that you know in like in 2 mins you will be safe as you will log out.
But now this isn;t the case.
