Runescape News - Behind the Scenes: January Update

The folks at Runescape have posted the January edition of their behind the scenes articles where they detail what's in store for the rest of the month. In this update they talk about the Phoenix summoning familiar, re-ordering spell lists, and more.

A new year often brings with it a sense of change or new adventure. For some, this rebirth is a nice, friendly affair, involving a new haircut and a resolution or two. For others, it means complex nesting rituals and a fiery demise...or perhaps a new beginning? Could we be talking about the legendary phoenix?
