Rs2006 Updates!

As you may have already noticed, Vault has recently put out 2 new announcements on the home page:

Update 1: 3 New Developers
(copied from the Rs2006 News and Announcements section).
__________________________________________________________

The RS2006 team has recruited 3 new developers, each of which specialize in different areas! Since they were recruited, progress on both the server and website have been immense! The team has been strongly encouraged due to the fact that Pre-Alpha is right around the corner, and the updates are flowing in every day. The 3 new developers are listed below, each with a bit of information about their job on the RS2006 team.

Mod Boomer
Mod Boomer joined the team earlier on in this month and has completely rewritten the combat system. It is finally done after dozens of hours of tweaking and adding content, and I can gladly tell you, it's the most amazing combat system I have ever seen both visually and programmatically. The combat system includes Player vs Player, Player vs Monster, and Monster vs Monster combat, each with their own dynamically written properties. Mod Boomer made sure that the combat system is very easily customizable so that it's easy for anyone (even those with no programming knowledge whatsoever) to tweak and add content. Mod Boomer will be working on future content which is yet to be discussed.

Mod Jack H
The second person to join the RS2006 team of developers is Mod Jack H. He is our first web designer and encase you don't understand what that means, he designs the future content you will see on the website including the message center, code of conduct, hiscores, the knowledge base, recover account, and several others. Once Mod Jack H is done with the design of the layout, it gets sent to the website developers who then make the features actually work. Expect some amazing layout designs from Mod Jack H in the near future!

Mod Steve
Last but not least, Mod Steve is our latest developer to join the RS2006 team. We recruited Mod Steve shortly after the website hacking on April 13, 2012. He specializes in website security and so far, he's done big changes to the website (internally). Additionally, he will be helping Mod Josh by web developing some content given to them from Mod Jack H and he will also be working on increasing the stability and speed of the website in general. Although Mod Steve's updates aren't visual, you will definitely feel his updates when on the website.

Update 2: Farming Video

Farming is the latest skill to have been finished and recorded. It took Mod Vayken about 50-60 hours to fully finish from beginning to end making Farming the longest skill to have been programmed for RS2006.

Feel free to discuss these updates below.

I think it's great we have more developers to help keep Rs2006 secure and speed up development of the game as well as improve it's standards. It's also great to see Farming done and all consolidated into 1 video. I talk to Vayken a fair bit on Skype and he's a great hard-working guy so props to him!

Pre-alpha is getting closer and closer guys.

All I can say is: Welcome to the newcomers and GOOD JOB Vayken!

I check a discussion on Rune-server and Boomber what saying that if Vault was paying him well he'll keep coding the server.

I can't wait to try the farming out! I am just waiting for that pre-alpha date announcement!
