[[File:Barb assault rewards.jpg|right|Barbarian Assault Improvement]]
Some time ago, we released the minigame ''[[Barbarian Assault]]''. From your feedback (and from playing the game ourselves) it’s become clear that the rewards were not quite up to scratch, so we have devoted some time to improving them. Although our focus has mainly been on the rewards, we also took this opportunity to alter some small aspects of the minigame itself (though we do also have a long list of other ideas for potential future updates).

The list of changes is extensive, but here are some of the main ones to whet your appetite:

* New [[Penance horn]] that lets you gain double XP in [[Agility]], [[Firemaking]] and [[Mining]] (in a similar fashion to the tools from ''[[Stealing Creation]]'').
* New colours of [[abyssal whip]]s.
* New [[Penance trident]] weapon.
* Penance armour stat improvement and [[Prayer]] restoring set bonus.
* [[Penance gloves]] now reduce more weight.
* Gamble points rebalanced (they still include a rare chance for dragon armour).
* Ability to show off your achievements in the roles of attacker, defender, collector and healer.
* High score tables for the attacker, defender, collector and healer roles.
* Waiting rooms increased in size.
* Additional wave room ticket system for saving progress through battles.
* [[Omega egg|Blue penance eggs]] now reduce the target [[Penance]]’s stats and deal damage.

If you speak with [[Commander Connad]] at the [[Barbarian Outpost]] (you can teleport directly there with a [[games necklace]]) he’ll show you all the new rewards, which are also listed on the Barbarian Assault KB page.

Bring on the Penance!

;In other news...

The various [[dwarves]] of ''RuneScape'' have had a visit from the [[Makeover Mage]], who has given their chatheads a new look.

The [[Soul Wars cape]] from ''[[Nomad's Requiem]] can now be stored in your [[Player-owned house|POH]] [[costume room]].

Activating your [[Special attacks|special attack]] bar will no longer interfere with auto-cast timing.

Players will no longer receive activity points in ''[[Soul Wars]]'' when bandaging players that are already at full health.

Because of the recent snow we've been having, [[snowball]]s have stayed frozen for a bit longer than usual. The snow has now gone, though, so you'll find your snowballs will now melt, unless you have the [[snow globe]] from the [[2007 Christmas event|Christmas 2007 holiday event]].
