Update:RS2 Beta updated again
This update was added on 17 February 2004.
Today we have added the following updates to Runescape 2.
Player routefinding has been greatly improved.
If you click to attack a monster your player will get to it much more easily instead of walking into fences and furniture.
A little flag will apear on the minimap when you click to go somewhere so that you can tell your character is moving to where you clicked.
Most of the npcs in the game no longer block movement.
We have added the shilo village quest.
We have made some changes and improvements to the trawler game.
Working as team now works better on the Runescape trawler game, fixing the nets, bailing and plugging leaks all now help everyone on the trawler.
We have changed around which areas in the wilderness are now multicombat - multicombat now mostly affects areas in the east of the wilderness rather than the west.
The pickaxes are now wieldable and can be used as weapons.
You can now use a tinderbox on logs in your inventory and you will automatically drop them and light a fire.
Spears have now been improved to be a good all around melee weapon which is useful for those wishing to train using the controlled combat style.
Maces now have a small prayer bonus, making them more useful for people who want to specialize as a cleric.
