Might as well combine all these in one topic, no point in having a seperate one for each of these.

26th April 2005 - New Wallpaper

We have added a brand new wallpaper for your computer desktop, showing the infamous Bob the cat in a precarious situation...
Head on over to our Extra Files section on the website to download it in the resolution of your choice.

Luckily everyone knows cats have 9 lives, so he's sure to get out of it ok.

26th April 2005 - New London servers

We've just finished another round of upgrades on our servers to keep up with the number of people playing RuneScape. Last weekend saw a record 132,000 players enjoying RuneScape at the same time!
We've put 5 new servers online in London, UK. These servers are at a different facility to our other UK ones, so will work better for different people to the other set. There are 3 new servers for free players and 2 for members. This extra capacity should ensure that everyone can find a place to play at the weekends.

Large update today! New quest, server, wallpaper, and a update on map!
Yes! New world = Less Lag! The wallpaper is little bit dark though.
Anyways, I won't get lost in that dessert again.
Great job Jagex!

a friend of mine sent a customer support query to jagex asking where they got the inspiration for him from and he got a reply saying that jagex actually have a black cat with a red collar in their offices called Bob.
