In the coming months, you can expect a lot from the Jagex Store. Plans are afoot to bring you a range of RuneScape merchandise to buy, including many that you voted for in the 'Shop till you Drop' poll.

One of these items is available for pre-order now: the first ever official RuneScape novel, Betrayal at Falador by T.S. Church. This fantasy epic opens with the discovery of a mysterious woman, found close to death within the walls of Falador Castle. Sir Amik and the White Knights are determined to reveal the identity of her attacker, thought to be a monster seen attacking travellers on the outskirts of Asgarnia. The question is: can the monster really be the blacksmith Doric, newly arrived from Keldagrim?

This Limited Edition hardback is available for pre-order now, and will be released on the 21st of July. Visit the Jagex Store to find out more, and keep an eye out for more news on available RuneScape merchandise.



Anyone else think Jagex is becoming a bit like WoW?

I know some of the story lines from ppl who read the books… I heard is way fucking better then the game etc…

@Runescape books… uhh k…
I might pirate the book or something if I'm bored, but in the end I'll probably never read it. [I'm a book reader of Fantasy/sci-fi]

God seriously all these pointless updates. I wish they would make an update that would benefit there players too other then themselves. Each update they make they get worse and worse.

I wonder if Jagex knows that the only people reading those books will be the people that use bots because people who play legit don't even have time to read a book!

What a silly thing to do.

RS Player: We want wildy back!

Jagex: We're too busy writing a book. Go and get killed in Bounty Hunter.

They do not have time to update it so people like it, but they have time to write a book…

Grand Exchange = Auction House

Bounty Hunter = Battle Grounds..

Soon we'll have mounts in Runescape, maybe a new riding skill? :o

Banks tabs.. Im sure WoW has the same kind of thing? You can have different bags in your bank..

Jagex said they would NEVER change the bank about, and now they have. I hope they do introduce riding, tbh. (:

I think Jagex is trying to compete with the "BIG BOYS". But the plot looks stupid.

They already competing with the 'Big Boys', they are the 2nd biggest MMO in the world, not bad for a browser game.

Assuming that the book isn't written for 10 year olds it might be worth a read
