Yes we can bring it back guys. I am delighted to announce some pretty darn spectacular news here, Jagex is letting players vote for wilderness to come back! This is not a joke;
Jagex is giving a chance for players to bring old wilderness and free trade(no trade limits are back)!!
If you still can't believe it - and I don't blame you!, then go see for yourself! Read this official news post. It's still not in the pocket though - players have to actually vote for this
(Although I'm pretty sure that from Jagex headquarters, bringing back old wilderness is already planned and expected, this vote thing probably is a good attempt at spreading the news like wildfire and reach out on the old fans who've retired)
But you're never too sure, and when an opportunity like this strikes, better grab it. Please do everyone a favor and cast your vote to jagex to bring back the old wilderness!
What do you all think about this guys? Any retired pkers coming back to rs? New plans ahead for everyone? Discuss below!

Rs Christmas 2010 Event Guide - "O Little Town of Daemonheim
Welcome to the 2010 Christmas event Guide in Runescape; "O Little Town of Daeomoheim. This guide will set you up and help you complete it fast. For any questions, feel free to ask throught the comments below and I or someone else shall be there to help out promptly.
Quest/Event Location: Start in daemonheim, right next to the rewards trader
Difficulty: Easy-Medium Estimated Time; 15-20 minutes
Rewards: Salty Claws Hat, Snowman dune emote, Golden Hammer
1. The Start of this event is right next to the rewards trader in daemonheim.
2. Talk to Thorvar Crittersmash and ask him about the Heimland Games. After you agree to help him, he will give you a bag and a bucket.
Tip: Throughout the event, always pick-up the various items that you see on the ground, or else you might have to re-do some of the levels.
For instance, after Thorvar Crittersmash teleports you to the room, pick up the snowman accessories from the ground. Then advance to the center of the room, where a cut scene will take place.
The Icicles will light up in same time and then light up one by one in a particular order. You will have to;
3. Remember and repeat that exact sequence in which the Icicles light up.
Keep in mind that you will need to use some memory as the sequences are different for all players. And every time that you tap the switch, a new sequence will be given. If you don’t have the best of memories, then a good tip would be to draw a small map of the Icicles on a piece of paper and then tag these with numbers as the sequence is being displayed.
When you will get 3 successful sequences, a door leading to the next room will be unlocked. As you enter the next room, you notice your character walking on all fours. You can also see on the upper left area of the screen, a box with alternating green and red colors.
So your next task will be to;
4. Sneak your way north of the room towards the Angel while it’s back is turned on you and touch the Angel when you get within distance.
On the upper left area of the screen, you can observe that a box with alternating green and red colors will appear; When green is on, it means that the Angel has it’s back turned on you and it is safe to walk north towards it. When Red is on however, this means that the Angel can see you, and unless you are behind a snow blanket, the Angel will teleport you back to the starting point of the puzzle. In other words, move north towards then next snow blanket when green is on, and stand still when red gets on. When the timing is right, touch the Angel to advance to the next level.
5. Onto the next room now, pick-up the item on the ground and right-click on “Thorvar’s bag”, and click on the “use trinklet Thorvar’s Bag” in order to turn into a seal and be able to slide on the icy ground as it’s called.
When you’re on the ice, the action is pretty self-explanatory; dodge the holes in the ice and make your way to the portals, leading you yet to another room.
6. Now your task will be to simply get through all the doors until you reach the next and last level.
The door order is different for all players. Now it may seem totally random-based, but I’ve found for myself that I would get through doors more frequently from the ones that I’ve previously passed through. So try to remember which doors worked for you and which ones didn’t. There is still some randomness in this method though and most likely will not work 100% of the time, but I’ve found my odds to be considerably better than just going totally random on doors. Keep in mind to pick-up items that you find on the ground.
If you’ve made your way through all the doors then congratulations, you have only one challenge left before completing the 2010 xmas event!
The next and finally last room to be dealt with is relatively easy compared to the previous one. You have to catch (click) the crab with the santa hat.
7. Keep a close eye on the fishing holes on the ice where crabs will pop up, and stay next to the Ice. When the crab with the santa hat will appear, click on it as fast as you can.
Now go speak to Thorvar Crittersmash/The guy dressed as Santa again. He will be surprised of your courage and you will find out that he really is Santa.
Congratulations! You have now completed the 2010 Christmas event in Runescape. Santa Claus will give you rewards (see below) and also invite you to the heimland games – a fine Christmas-themed place with more activities, yet to be reviewed here.
Rewards: Salty Claws Hat , Snowman dune emote, Golden Hammer. Soundtracks and emotes unlocked from the event include; Snowman dune emote ,Seasonal sports Soundtrack, dramatic point emote, and the freeze emote
