One of the core aims of [[2009|Upgrade Year]] is that we take a close look at existing content and make it better – this week this concerns [[Summoning]] and [[hairstyles]]: better usability, more [[pets]] and the return of the fringe.

You have provided us with so many ideas to improve the Summoning skill that we were spoilt for choice, and our wish list of improvements is getting longer and longer, but for now we have decided on the following improvements.

Firstly, we have raised the pet limit so that you can have twice as many pets as before. This seemingly simple change led to a major background change, which will improve the stability of the code so you will experience fewer bugs in future. Secondly, you don’t need to wait until a [[Summoning familiars|familiar]] has disappeared to use the next [[Summoning pouches|pouch]]; now you click a handy button in the [[Summoning screen|Summoning interface]] to replenish your familiar’s timer to 100% when it has dropped below two and a half minutes. So, if you use [[Beast of Burden|beasts of burden]] to help carry things around, you can now use this button to keep them going, as long as you have another pouch of the same type in your [[inventory]]. Additionally, we have made it much more straightforward to trade in your pouches and [[Summoning scrolls|scrolls]] with [[Bogrog]], the ogre in [[Gu'Tanoth]].

We often receive comments about and suggestions for new hairstyles from players on the forums. In particular, we read players' complaints that there was once a [[Hairstyles#Hairstyle Gallery - Female Hair Only|female hairstyle]] with a fringe that got removed. We searched and searched, but could not find any indication that this was ever the case, so we scratched our heads for a while... and then created one! Enjoy your fringes, and perhaps you might like to pay a visit to [[Party Pete]] to try out a [[Afro|special new hairstyle]] designed for partying.

[[Lily of the valley|Lilies of the valley]] have also blossomed around ''[[RuneScape]]''. These fragrant spring flowers will stay until the next game update to celebrate the start of May.

Last but not least, we would like to point you towards a new link in the [[Quest List|quest journal]]s. The [[QuestHelp]] system is now accessible directly from your quest journal, and you don’t even need to log into the website to access either a hint or a spoiler for a [[quest]].

As you’ll notice, this set of updates isn’t as large as you might have hoped, for which we apologise. A project we were hoping to release this week was found to have bugs, and so has been delayed until next week. While we’re aware that these are relatively small fixes, we hope that you’ll appreciate them nonetheless.
