Work on the Avatar is progressing well, with over 105 avatar-related models being updated to the new avatar standards this week. This continues the skin ungrafting work that forms a large part of the update and that simply takes time to work through.
Beyond the above, our patch notes include a number of Avatar-related fixes regarding clipping, stretching and other issues.
What's happening this week:
GOBLINS. A Bloggo for the Gobbos, landing in the middle of this week.
Our Mid-game rebalance is coming up in the near future, so we'll be sharing a preview of what it incorporates later this week.

A Note of Phishing (The bad kind)
[p align="start"]We’ve had a few reports of some players being phished out of their accounts.[p align="start"]As always, bad actors are always cooking up new tricks. We've heard of a new few ones including fake P-Mod application forms asking for login details and illegitimate Jagex Launcher downloads hosted on other websites.[p align="start"]This is a quick reminder to stay safe out there and think twice before entering sensitive details or downloading anything advertised as relative to RuneScape.[p align="start"]
There are no P-Mod Application forms, and anything you download for RuneScape must be a subdomain of Jagex.com or RuneScape.com to be considered safe. Always download anything directly through our website or Launcher – nowhere else.
[p align="start"][p align="start"]Some rules we always recommend:Don't click suspicious links or download unknown files.
Jagex will never ask for your password or verification codes via email or messages. Never give away credentials that could be used to access your account.
