Jagex has announced that both the Wilderness and Free Trade have been returned to RuneScape. Developers indicate that players will now be able to give gifts to their friends, have access to unrestricted trade, and take part in the most dangerous sport in the whole of RuneScape: Wild PKing! In addition, the dev team will be introducing several other updates in February including a graphical overhaul of gnomes and reshaping the pottery making system.

Dungeons of Daemonheim, the latest expansion to RuneScape, is now live. Daemonheim features a new skill called Dungeoneering which is available to both members and free players, and allows players to gain access to the Daemonheim castle, which is made up of 35 underground floors. Once inside Daemonheim castle, players can team up with up to five others to tackle each floor, which is made up of randomly generated rooms that scale to the skill level and abilities of the players entering it.

Web of Shadows is the name given this year's Halloween event in Runescape. In the event, players will travel through a portal that has appeared south of Falador and enter the house of the Grim Reaper. Your task? To aid Death himself in ridding of an uninvited guest.
