The Guaranteed Content Poll is your chance to have a genuine impact on the game, and you have made some great choices this time. We asked you to choose the single character and group of characters that you would like us to transform. The results were Party Pete and the TzHaar (now that would be an interesting party!).

Party Pete seems to be very proud of his fabulous new look and he can’t wait to show it off to everyone in RuneScape. He has had a complete makeover, with clothes and accessories that suit his fun-loving lifestyle. If you want to check out his new threads (and groovy moves), head over to the Party Room to join in with his celebrations. The Party Room can be found to the north-east of Falador’s east bank.

We don’t think that the TzHaar would appreciate being described as ‘groovy’, but recent geological disturbances have left every single one of these fearsome creatures looking very different, from the TzHaar-Hur to TzTok-Jad himself. After a dramatic transformation, the TzHaar now look even more intimidating; Tztok-Jad even scared us when we first saw him. If you’re feeling brave and your adventuring brings you to Brimhaven's volcano, be careful where you put your pickaxe. Those rocks have powerful friends!

In High Detail mode, you will find that buildings with roofs are much easier to enter. You can now click on the roof of a building and your player will walk inside - assuming the door is open, of course!

They just changed the colors of a few things..Nothing special. Looks worse to me, quite a bit harder to look at than the old darker colors.

The graphical updates to the NPCs look nice, however, so at least something was made a bit better. Just wish Jagex would change the colors back so it's not so hard to view.

I think Jad looks like a bird.

I think that the Old jad, and the original lesser demons (from when classic and RS2 just came out) had a baby and came up with this.

It is good, but not that great either. The lava looks like it was drawn by a 12 year old and had it just flow along like squiggles. I don't care about Party Pete so I won't bother talking about him. I like the yellow instead of red/orange.

I think that some look better (tzhaar) but some of the old ones were better.

It's prety average. Some of the monsters are a little better but overall it's like most of the improvements - never as good as they claim.

Well..It's ok but really isn't anything special I liked the old jad, the old monsters, the old tzhaar better.
Ands what's with part pete?? Do you actually know anyone who's white with a true afro?

The TzHaar I don't even care about

Party Pete doesn't look any better though. I'm thinking I liked the old party pete.

The afro ruined it for Party Pete really -.- Agreeing with Brad when he said Jagex looks like they're going for an MC Hammer look. Jad looks like something from Doom 3

pretty awesome I guess.
