Nostalgia fans, rejoice! My line of retro armour has expanded to include the Torva, Pernix and Virtus sets, as well as the dragonfire shield, preserved as they were in 2011 and available as cosmetic overrides now!

Each set replicates the original design of this rare armour, which is dropped by the terrifying Nex in the God Wars Dungeon. The spiked Torva armour suits melee-focused warriors; the sleek style of the Pernix armour befits a ranged assassin; and the noble Virtus armour is ideal for magicians. Of course, as these replicas override your appearance only, the choice of combat style is yours alone!

My similarly retro-styled dragonfire shield override will grant any shield a fearsome appearance!

What¡¯s more, I¡¯ve improved the dragon plate armour to include the dragon plateskirt and dragon chainbody. Previously purchased this fantastic set? Never fear, you¡¯ve automatically received these two additions ¨C simply check your Customisation tab!

My second selection of retro armour is available now, so please do visit Solomon's General Store for a closer look. If you would like more RuneCoins, you can redeem Bonds in-game. Alternatively, you can purchase additional RuneCoins here, or by clicking 'Buy RuneCoins' inside my store. Finally, feel free to visit me in-game, just south of the Grand Exchange!

Here is some latest update regarding the development of Legacy Mode since February. Some solid and fundamental progress have been made and the players can expect a public beta in May this year. The beta phase will be extremely important to guarantee no flaws or bugs that will affect players gaming experience before the Legacy Mode goes online this summer. There is no doubt that community can enjoy the mode in this summer but the quality of the Legacy mode really relies on how well the beta test goes.

Legacy Mode is a mode with old-school combat controls and user interfaces, while the game content is still synchronized with latest updates. Players will have purer combat experience, similar to the one in old-school RuneScape before Combat Evolution and RunesScape 3. The mode will include combat changes introduced to wider game, such as 138 combat calculation and special attacks.

If you check the screenshots of Legacy Mode at the official RuneScape website, you will find it is very much like the game back in 2011. But the Legacy Mode is not a copy of the 2011 game. It has the old-style UI, but no EoC abilities and the restoration of Special attacks. To summery it in one sentence, Legacy Mode enables players to engage the modern game with old gears and UI several years ago, saving time adopting to new combat systems. You can find out the detailed comparison between Legacy and modern mode at the RuneScape Community website.

The good news is that players in Legacy Mode can share most of the world with current mode players who has EoC abilities. They can play, interact and fight together as they like. Further on, for those who desire a more pure Legacy Mode experience, the dev team is thinking about implementing a world exclusively for Legacy Mode players. But either way, the current modern combat system won’t be affected, which is the top rule dev team obeys during development.

More details will be revealed in May when the Legacy Mode enters its beta phase.
