Jagex Games Studio has announced the latest update to RuneScape, which currently holds the world record as the most popular free online game. The newest Achievement Diary lets you explore the Ardougne area as you attempt to complete various tasks for a "sneaky" reward. Many of the tasks were inspired by player suggestions.

Duel Tournaments have undergone an overhaul to improve the mechanics of the mini-game. To speed things up, players will automatically be assigned to a single registrar based on combat level and other factors. Also, the entrant who places second in a tournament will earn 20% of the entry fees.

The RuneScape team has also made some other changes and fixes to the game, such as making health bars only turn red when a player or monster had zero hitpoints. You can read all of the changes after the jump.

Health bars will no longer become completely red unless the player/monster has zero hitpoints.

When you're in resizeable mode, the chat window can now be vertically resized to show more lines of text, chat and other messages. Your stats interface will also expand itself to remove the need for a scroll bar.

After completing Within the Light, you can ask Eluned to help you add a choice of destination to your teleport crystals.

Your gravestone should now be indicated on the minimap.

The position of your Friends and Clan Chat list vertical bars are now remembered between logins, provided you're using the signed applet.

You are now allowed to purchase multiple skillcapes.

We've changed the way the TzHaar Fight Cave records your progress. In future, if you get disconnected during a wave, you'll automatically restart from that wave rather than having to begin the minigame again. You can still use the logout button to make the minigame log you off when you've completed your current wave.

The interface that lets you change the left-click function of the Summoning status globe (next to the minimap) will no longer be closed by combat.

Murky Matt at the Grand Exchange can now combine the charges on members' teleport jewellery.
