The Chosen Commander Update
Another quest “The Chosen Commander” is available in Dorgesh-Kaan, so it looks like we shall have to do it soon to retain the use of the quest cape. It will be interesting to see how good the agility course is too.
Good news about the confirmation box. I have sometimes clicked the back button and accidentally gone out of the game. This should prevent this from happening again.
I was recently told about the 26K tactic in PvP, but it looks like this tactic will no longer work with the new rule put in.
Delarue64 has made a guide for the chosen commander quest if you would like to see it click here.
Ever since Dorgesh-Kaan made contact with the surface, the cave goblin adventurer Zanik has helped to defend the city from Sigmund’s villainous plots. Now Zanik has disappeared, her fate and whereabouts unknown, and Dorgesh-Kaan is more vulnerable than ever.
Captain Undak of the Dorgeshuun guard is responsible for the city’s defences, and he needs your help to investigate a possible HAM attack – but this will only be the start of your adventure. The mystery of Zanik’s disappearance will be resolved, and the truth behind a goblin prophecy will be revealed, as events move inexorably towards the realisation of Zanik’s destiny. Your adventures will include the discovery of a new Agility course, learning more about the history of the Dorgeshuun, and uncovering the plots of the Big High War God.
The Chosen Commander is the conclusion of a quest series that began with The Lost Tribe. I’ve had enormous fun working on this storyline over the last few years, and I’ve tried to give what I think are the best elements of the previous quests a final outing here. I hope you enjoy it.

To go along with the quest we’re releasing a new Knowledge Base article, History of the Goblins, which is in the Miscellaneous Guides section of the Knowledge Base. We’re also releasing a developer forum post looking back over the quest series, which can be found in the forums under Recent Updates. If you enjoy the goblin quests you may also want to read the newest Lores and Histories story, The Chasm of Lights.
In Other News…
To mark the end of the Dorgeshuun quest series, we’re releasing a limited-edition zip-up hoodie on the Jagex store. It’s a limited run of only 2,000, so click here to get yours now!
If you’re logged in to RuneScape and navigate away from the game screen, you will now have to click on a confirmation box to confirm that you want to navigate away from the page. This is to make sure that you don’t accidentally lose your game window.
We’ve made a couple of changes to the party room due to concerns about abuse by real-world traders. Firstly, drop parties are now available only on two worlds (131 and 152). Secondly, players must now enter their bank PIN (if they have one) before putting items into the drop chest. We’re sorry we have to do this, but we can’t let real-world traders ruin the party.
We’ve added a wave-counter interface that will pop up at the start of each round in the TzHaar fight caves. This means you should now find it much easier to track which wave you’re on.
Male ogres have been graphically reworked and improved to bring them in line with the recently-updated female ogres. They look tougher and stronger than ever, but don’t worry; they’re still not the smartest creatures around!
Players will no longer increase their drop-value potential on PvP worlds if they repeatedly cast the basic strike spells.
We’ve reduced the likelihood of your getting AMEs if you’re burning incense in your house, or if you’re in building mode. We’ve also reduced the likelihood that you’ll get AMEs in the Chaos Tunnels and on the Dorgesh-Kaan agility course.
Email registration for new accounts is now optional, although we would still advise you to enter your email address when registering, so that we can help you if you need to recover your password.

Yes, I think that the servers are not working for all at the moment. So it looks like we shall have to wait a while before trying out the new quest and testing the route finding update.
Hopefully all runs well soon.

yes, jagex posted some news about the servers being down on runescape’s front page.
looks great with the confirmation box, I use to do the backspace thing a lot as well. The 26k trick might still work, they just gotta find another way to get drop potential up by the looks of it, not that i’ve ever done it… always found that earning my own money instead of going through a glitch type thing was better anyway.
The wave counter for the thzaar fight caves might come in handy, although when I did it, I could normally tell roughly how far I was from jad from the number of monsters and types that were in that wave. Yay another quest to do, good thing is the quest point cape doesn’t go back in your bank if you have it stored in your POH though 
I never liked the party room anyway, can’t see how it was helping RWTers but I guess Jagex found out and they fixed it.

The quest sounds good but i dis-like doing them
but some have advantages like you can enter places after you complete them hopefully this has a good reward, Lol i can’t see how the drop party thing will work tho i guess they must have found somethign out about it, The wave coutner is a good idea too, And i like the idea of less randoms

Yes Glarine… hopefully the servers are back soon and we can play. I might call it a night soon though.
hmmm, the party drop room has me stumped too, although I have only been there once.
I hate PvP anyway, so the rule will not affect me. lol
March 18th, 2009 at 12:54 am

Did the back button test and got
“Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
Please make sure you have logged out of the game before navigating away.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.”
So it works
