http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=936[/url] -]We have made a few changes to the RuneScape front page, making it more accessible and easier to get around, while also highlighting some areas you may not have looked at before.

The first change is to the 'Recent News' scroll. Instead of five news items, we have made room for six. The oldest three have been made into 'More News' links, while the three newest updates are on their own at the top, making it easier to tell if something has been added to the game or website.

You might also notice two new sections of the scroll. 'Article of the Week' focuses on a Knowledge Base page that might be useful or interesting to you, whether you are playing through the newest piece of content or simply exploring RuneScape. 'Recently added articles' focuses on those Knowledge Base pages that have just been released, often giving information on the newest releases. Who knows - you might just find out a hint or trick that will help you master that new piece of content!

There has been a slight reshuffle to the left of the scroll, too. Here you will find a search box, so that you can find your desired Knowledge Base information quickly.

You will also find that the Lores and Histories and Development Diaries get their very own links, while Players' Gallery, Postbag from the Hedge and the God Letters have a new home in 'Player Submissions'. Additionally, the 'Manual' link now takes you directly to the articles and guides of the Knowledge Base, where before you had to click through an extra screen.

Please take some time to get to grips with this new design and its differences. We hope it won't take you long to realise that it makes more sense and is much more accessible!

The only instant dislike is that some different parts of the knowledge base can only be accessed by going back to the main page. For example, I cannot go from Manual to Customer Support. This leads to me being required to navigate back to the main page if I want to switch sections. However, as they asked, I shall give it time and see if it is better smile.gif.

Not much of an update, but it does look better than before I guess.

Useless, in my opinion. I don't feel they need to update the look of the website unless it's going to be a big makeover that is actually noticeable. At first, I didn't know what they did with the website until I read closely, so it's not anything special to me.

WIth hundreds of articles in the knowledge base, reorganizing it to some extent is not such a small task, and pretty necessary. Over the long run, this update will be quite effective.

I'm hoping they come out with a new skill next month smile.gif
