Many animations, no longer cause unnecessary additional delays in game play. In 1 or 2 cases we have even removed an animation entirely. Things which we have speeded up with this update include.
Picking objects up
Dropping object
Using spinning wheels
Cooking on fires and ranges
Grain picking
Potato Picking
Glass making
Pottery
Smelting
Bone Burying
Opening cupboards and chests
Chest thieving
Ladder and stairs climbing
None of the above no longer take any more time than in Runescape 1.
We will be continue to be making adjustments on various aspects of the game such as the above. Our intention is certainly not to make the game slower.
We are continuing to add sounds to many aspects of the game.
We have fixed a number of bugs which we shall detail shortly in another news item.
