Updates for August 8th, 2017:
Skilling Pets
You now have a chance to find yourself a new friend when you are woodcutting, mining, fishing, or hunting! Keep an eye out for these companions as you grind away on ScapeHD!

Slayer Point Shop
Slayer masters throughout the world will now trade you exclusive armor and rewards in exchange for your slayer points! You can access this shop by speaking to a Slayer Master, and asking them what they have for sale. This shop will be added to and expanded on, but we decided to let you have access to it early!

A New Tutorial
In lieu of the tutorial island becoming increasingly unpopular, we have decided to add a mandatory tutorial to all new accounts created beyond this point. This tutorial will show you basics like where Bill Teach is, how to access some of the starting shops, and then ask if you wish to complete all the quests automatically for no reward, and select your game mode. We feel this tutorial will help new players have a better time in understanding our server!

God Books
You can now purchase God Books for 5 points each in the vote shop! You still have to locate the pages through clue hunting.
