We've just added a new column to the World Select screen to help you find a world for your favourite activities. We know that it's often more fun to do things as part of a group, so we've added this list to help like-minded people find each other.

To make the list we quite simply looked at the worlds that you already use! If you regularly go air running or play Trouble Brewing, you'll already know which worlds you go to, but now anyone else who wants to do the same will be able to join in the fun. Of course, we'll be checking frequently to see if any worlds get full regularly and updating the list when necessary.

Having said all this, you don't have to do the named activity on these worlds - no one should have to do anything just because of the world they're on. The list is simply a guideline for people looking for a specific activity. You can also still do any of these on any world, but if you want the largest games or more company you might want to check out one of the suggested worlds.

We haven't assigned an activity for Worlds 1 and 2 because they already get enough traffic from being at the top of the list. Anyone looking for a busy world won't have any difficulty spotting them.

I'm not to enthused about this...it is sort of the Jagex stamp on a world and all the new inexperienced players will follow it. Actually it is a bit funny, worlds 3-5 f2p trading...uh...duh...lol.

2/5.

good to know if I ever get around to doing shades of mort'ton quest or trouble brewing minigame. 4/5 though because I'm sure "pk-free" worlds will soon be inaccurate. lll.

That's the point of law running companies :P
Easy money for the runner (regardless of level), and easy xp for the crafter.

I've never used law running for money. I've just taken a trip or 2 there whenever I run low on laws. Maybe now that people know about it, everyone will do the same so the price of laws goes down.

Just thought we might note this as news off the Runescape site:
______________________________________________________________

15 August 2007 - Themed World changes Next

We have made some slight changes to those worlds that have been designated as themed worlds. This is because themed activities were causing lag on certain servers, while they weren't on others; some servers are simply much more able to cope with hundreds of people all crowded together into one Castle Wars game, for example.

With this in mind, it makes sense to move a few of our server themes onto worlds that can cope with the levels of activity.

Our first choice was always to select worlds that players had unofficially chosen for an activity and, where possible, we have tried to keep these activities on their chosen servers. The reduction of lag on a world, we now realise, is far more important - particularly if that world cannot cope with large numbers playing something server-intensive like Pest Control.
_______________________________________________________________

Sort of a continuation on this update...ya we knew this would happen, but it is just funny how people can act like sheep sometimes.
