Talk:Strange power

.wtf? -- 19:52, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

was accompanied by a thing in the chatbox saying "You feel a strange power unleash itself upon you."

probably relevant

Did anyone get a vid of it? Happened to me too, a full cc of people waiting outside clanwars got it, scared everyone :P Also happened in GE, I think everyone logged in got it. 72.183.218.146 19:56, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Im a f2p I felt it too in Al kharid. Man this is wack 20:01, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

On the Trivia section of the article it says somthing about which way everone was facing when it happened, in Falador, everyone was facing North-East, I don't have an account on the Wikia so if someone could post that if they have an account. 03:26, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion for Inclusion: No update planned the week of 1/24/10
Next to the sentence in the article indicating that the update is expected soon, there should be a sentence stating that the next update will not occur until at least January 31st, as indicated in a post by mod Emilee found here: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?16,17,535,60280044

Strange structures north of trollheim
Probably i didnt no about this.. but there seems to be 2 new buildings which ive never seen before on map. One is directly north of Trollheim in the frozen area and the other is west of the Wilderness Agility Course by each other. None of them are accessible. Can anyone verify this if it was there before the events of the Strange power?

Thanks 20:17, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Those are from two different quests, the Temple at Senntisten and While Guthix Sleeps.

Maybe its a hint to the new skill
Eddiedog8 19:11, January 28, 2010 (UTC) Nope shooting str would be impractican for this Event

Or it could be Shooting star for f2p. 19:57, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

In R S Wikia cc, we decided its either new skill hint or JaGeX playing a sick joke :O. Marti522

What possible skill could that be? Anyways, a question: does it make noise when you get it? and was it only spotted in populated areas? 20:05, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

yea i got a noise. it sounded like dynamite 20:05, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * It sounded almost exactly like the quest point cape emote (my first thought was "I'm not wearing my cape! Hax!"). 20:38, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Most likley related to the new skill if f2p also had it happen to them. I am going to guess the skill is going to be released this next week on the 28th. (That day comes from another clue from jagex.)

20:30, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * May i please ask what that hint at Jan 28 was? 21:59, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing it'll be Necromancy... people have been asking for it for years on the forums and the page says there were "ghost-like people" in the background, and Necromancy really fits the description of the "dark presence/magic" that the psychics have been feeling. 22:17, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

The hint was that the skill would be released in the month that has 28 days. (All months have 28 days) Even though it says "in the month" I still think it will be released on the 28. 22:27, January 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * isn't there a runescape calendar with a different number of days per month? -- 01:58, January 24, 2010 (UTC).there will be no effect from this,there will probly be a new quest and zaros will return it happened at 3:42 (e) it says like zamorak you feel a strange power then u go in the air it must meen like zaros wants you to join him ancient magiks was made there for zaros.zaros is back

I have been told it has been confirmed that no God is coming back to Gielnor. I could be wrong and have picked that up.. but I doubt it. I agree with the new skill one, though I'm not sure about Necromancy as that sounds similar to Magic and I doubt that JaGeX would put two very similar skills. Then again, if people have been asking for it.. What would you do with Necromancy really though? The Runescape calendar is different and all months have at least 30-35 days, if I remember correct. Just my view on it and as I wasn't online I'm not too sure what went down. There is definately a new skill coming up available for both F2P/P2P that JaGeX hopes "everyone will love" so I'm looking foward to the release of it. Hopefully won't be as much of a moneysink that Summoning was! Terily 03:12, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

RE TERILY :

You have a very unreliable source for you see, Jagex hints the return of Zaros and so does the Chaos Elemental sooo fail :L

(NeoSlayer X5 18:17, January 31, 2010 (UTC))

¤NSX5¤

I really think it's not necromancy. Necromancy was the initial plan to what became Summoning. My guess is a skill, I only do not know what... :S 14:49, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Wont be a skill, if F2P could get the Armadyl comu...whatever, what stops them from getting this? A new skill wont manifest from you, you learn a new skill... Im pretty certain that SOMETHING arrived, could be a god, a new boss, a future quest relate NPC, but definetively NOT the new skill. ScionCrush 14:58, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Jagex has comfired that the new skill would be for BOTH f2p and p2p. It has been stated a number of times by them. You have to also remember. Armadyl is a p2p god so there is no reason to give them an item they should have until they become members. -- 04:18, January 26, 2010 (UTC)71.36.193.122 04:17, January 26, 2010 (UTC)- this was my edit when i wasn't logged in.

The new skill will definitely not be Necromancy. MMG has stated that nobody has guessed very close, and that it hasn't been done before. Ryu Zwei 09:14, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Red smoke
I was editing the wiki, so I missed it :c

Did it look like the red smoke at armoured zombies? 20:00, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

no not at all. 20:00, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

very very different. 20:01, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Dose the somke resemble the berserak curse smokre form ancient cures despite the colour? 18:01, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

What do you think could've caused it?
I had post on other talk page about this but uh... Do you think Zaros had something to do with this, like jagex made this to talk about new quest in the series?

We did have the paper from armadyl before wgs, and nomad's plastic surgery before nr...

Lol it happened everywhere

It didn't only happen to members it happened to me to and im f2p. so its a new skill it might be for f2ps to 20:13, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

me

New Skill
What if the new skill was mind control lololol cuz thats what happened in this incident. 20:08, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That'd be a stupid skill O_o 20:11, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe the new skill may be "Necromancy". The "floating" red orb thingy players saw may be similar to dark magic or something like that. 21:50, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would so rock, but i doubt it. 21:59, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Untrue, because Jagex said the new skill would be non mem and members, so thats not a coincidence, i think. The idea of necromancy ties in too closely with summoning, so that is no. Maybe dark magic                             though, it was said it was "darkness". Evil Skill? - I catman I

I have to disagree with catman,It's unlikely for it to be a 'dark magic' skill, because they could just put in a new 'dark magic spellbook'. But still I think it's something magic related. 21:50, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I also disagree with this on two points. The first is that talking to Malignius Mortifer reveals that summoning and necromancy are completely unrelated (from an in-game viewpoint), so if Jagex plays their cards right this could be the new skill. However, don't make too much of the F2P inclusion. F2P was also included in the mysterious voices in the wilderness that teased the Spirit of Summer quest in 2008, showing that Jagex has no aversion to teasing players who are F2P.

If it is a new skill then it will be F2P as well as mems as they're working on a F2P/P2P one. I hope it is F2P - I'm running out of credit and soon I'm gonna get booted off mems (again) and knowing my luck it will come out on the same day that I run out of credit... Terily 03:15, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Could maybe be Telekinesis or Levitation? Can't really think of a use for levitation and Telekinesis could probably cover that. I guess Telekinesis could be interesting since you could maybe manipulate monsters with your mind by maybe bashing them off stuff or sending them flying back or something like that. I guess Telekinesis could explain the levitation but the red mist, I'm not so certain. Unless the red mist was a so-called power of your mind glow and the power unleashed on you was that of the mind. I could be barking up the wrong tree but I guess I could throw that idea out to other people. Astromanteia 13:35, January 25, 2010 (GMT)

Telekinesis would only be used to pick up items you couldnt get to and you can already do that with one of the spells i forget which

Telekinetic Grab =P 17:45, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Me and my freind thought it would be something like levaitation but then we said that would be under magic. And i don't think that jagex would put necromancy as a skill because of what could happen in lawsuits if a parent took the wrong idea and said that the game was some kind of satanist game. Death38432

"Seeing as Telekinetic Grab teleports the target item directly to the caster's inventory, it is not exactly Telekinesis. A more accurate name for it might be Teleport Grab."- The trivia section for telekinetic grab here on Rune wiki. Telekinesis can have other uses than just picking items up that you couldn't get to, however. You could throw monsters into obstacles, manipulate their direction, throw stuff at them, damage them with crushing them, have chance rates at throwing their projectile or melee attacks (not magical attacks.) aside and take no damage since your mind could push the attacks out of your way, stopping them defending your attacks sometime since you could maybe hold their limbs down with your mind to prevent them lifting something to defend, drop stuff on them, do multiple tasks at once such as maybe telekinetically lifting another pickaxe as you mine and having 2 pick axes working on the ores for you and such other resource gathering things might work that way with higher levels. Those are just thoughts and it's probably not even what it is but that's what I was meaning by a Telekinesis skill. Astromanteia 18:44, January 26, 2010 (GMT)

Soul Wars Happening
I have no idea why no one is talking about this... everyone in sw 2 days ago (as of 22, January) was being automatically shifted to form Zaros sign. It happened twice at 8 am eastern and 11 am it was happening in the red team's waiting area of the lobby. Does anyone know of this? I'm trying to search for pics and vids im sure someone recorded this O.O -- 19:44, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Juna Has New Text!!!
Talk to Juna! She has a bunch of new text related to Zanik & that you have betrayed the Gods. She also notes that the Gods will not punish you because Guthix foresees your use in the future! I am not yet sure of the relation to the strange power, but perhaps this is a lead. The seers have changed their texts as well to foretell of a coming darkness.

Relation to Digsite Barge
Just the fact that everyone looked Northeast has me wondering if the island they keep telling us about from the digsite barge will be appearing. Seeing as the digsite has already been linked to Zaros, maybe this is a clue? Just a theory.

Any NPC's Hinting at what it could be?
So far Seers, and the Dark Mage from the Abyss have mentioned it. I just want to know what NPCs/places people have bothered checking so I don't further waste my time checking NPC's people have already checked (yes I'm sure it'll just end up being a skill update but still, might as well investigate in case there's a small chance it isn't one >_>) I've spoken to Bob the Cat, Azzanadra, a friend spoke to Lucien, and Juna. None of them have any new information other than Juna (which turned out to be Chosen Commander text). Any suggestions on who to check, or who's already been checked? S: -- 21:21, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Spoke to Wise Old Man and nothing. 21:26, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Spoke to nearly everyone in Taverley, and the little assembly of people in Falador Castle from WGS, nothing new. s: Friends been checking out somewhat random people--Ali the Wise, the lizard/vampire/possible Sliske in the Draynor sewers... nothing >-> Witchaven citizens are mentioned someone being freed so I'm assuming that's Mother Mallum. As for Baba Yaga my friend checked her out and said she hasn't said anything new. So yea Jagex is just trying to confuse us like everyone else said ^^ -- 21:54, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

More rewards...
There are four people from Free quests that gives additional rewards after the quests now. I dunno if it means anything.

The cook gives more rewards, the Priest in Lumbridge gives more rewards, Doctor Oddenstein gives more rewards, and so does Fred the Farmer. Frogzz 21:41, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

That has been there for some time. 21:47, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Sea Slug Mother
Is it not possible that (judging my the new text from Witchaven possessed population) the Sea Slug Mother has been freed, and the result caused a disturbance large enough to distract the Zamorak mage in charge of the abyss, who accidentially caused the power release. Goldstar63 21:49, January 23, 2010 (UTC)Goldstar63

That seems like it makes the most sense, but why did the strange power happen in non members too? :/ - 21:55, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

More specifically why did it happen to people that haven't progressed in the quest series. 02:01, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I believe that it happened becaue technically, Runescape (the place, not the game)is a single world, and so it would affect everyone on runescape, even those without doing the quest.Goldstar63 03:20, January 24, 2010 (UTC)Goldstar63

A new post by a jagex mod. picture = a fake
The picture showed a jagex mod explaining that this whole thing was a test to see peoples reaction is fake. He states "I can now confirm that this event was just a small experiment that jagex wanted to try" wouldn't he say that we wanted to try, not that Jagex wanted to try. Why did they want to know how people spread information and rumors? people are strange... I even searched the quote on google (yes with quotations) and no results came up. GF picture editor.

Mother Mallum?
The Witchaven villagers tell us about 'The mother being free..'

In Armies of Gielinor, one of Zamoraks monsters is a Sea Slug, Although it resembles Mother Mallum more than it resembles the common sea slug (Mother Mallum is a sea slug!)

This Sea Slug's ability is to control opponent units..

Didn't this "Strange Power" control our Characters? Does this mean Mother Mallum returns?

Not sure if this was there before...
Friend told me about a rumor of a hole....So i went to check it out...

Screen Shaking
There seems to be a slight shaking of player's screens every now and then. Some people on my cc and myself experienced this. (Just speculation, but it may grow in intensity.) 67.165.60.61 23:36, January 23, 2010 (UTC) (PrinceTrague)

Yeah - I noticed that aswell... At first I though it was aftershocks from an earthquake I encountered during a quest, but it happened like 5 times while I was mining after the quest was finished :/ Can anyone shed some light on this?

Anagram
A Jagex mod gave us an anagram to solve: Acolyte Until (I think that's the correct spelling). He says it's four words and starts with an I. 01:32, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Relation to Soul Altar
When trying to exit via the Soul rift in the Abyss, a message will show "A strange power blocks your exit". It sorta sounds a lot like the strange power we have witnessed today, maybe the soul altar will play a large role in the new quest? I mean mother mallum is trying to steal our souls right?


 * No that's been there forever. 03:20, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I never bloody said that it was new. I'm just saying that both things are "A strange power" it may be one and the same...

Yes, I can agree with you, I think the soul alter is coming out fairly soon. But I doubt that it has to do with the "Strange Power." However, in the new grandmaster quest before you fight the Maharajat he mentions 'soul' and 'power' maybe thats refering to the soul alter.

Fail, entering law with weapons etc says the same stuff.. FAIL Wow really? I can't believe you people, you say it can't be to do with the soul altar cause it say the same king of thing with the law altar, well then it may be to do with both of them, are you really that simple minded...

The latest twittier hint was "Next week in RuneScape: Variety is the essence of life!" (End of quote)'' Essence is obviously meaning Rune creating substance, and variaty? Adding in soul crafting would add some variety would it not?''

It's the orb of oculus
Read this: Update:Blog_-_Machinima:_The_Orb_of_Oculus

Maybe a new emote will go with it, or maybe somehow we will be able to edit emote and movement sequences and play them back in various speeds, such as slow motion.--Agamemnus 02:01, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'm quite certain it's nothing to do with the Orb of Oculus - since they released the Dev Blog, they most certainly would be able to talk about it. And what "strange power" would the Orb unleash upon you? No, something far more sinister and awesome is on the way...


 * It has nothing to do with the OOB, the device is simply concepted for enhanced camera movements and usage.. nothing to do with the recent events happening. You're basically saying Mother Mallum and the seers are all noted simply because of some camera?

UPDATE: Holy... what an astonishing coincidence! A movie was being made at the time it happened, but no ordinary film.

This one was intended to be a video of all 25 capes of achievement in one place! And the Strange Power was caught on tape!

 * Aw man, that last one doesn't work. Says "Video removed by user." Sounded like it would have been quite interesting! 20:23, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Draken??
This was taken from a thread on the forums about changes that have appeared after the strange power. Someone should check it out,

02:50, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Wait... hasn't the mysterious npcs inside Castle Draken been there ever since the release of Legacy of Seergaze? 05:37, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have they?? 10:50, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * yes they r presumed to be the 2 draken children and have been there a long time -- 11:03, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Both of those Vyrewatch have been there since the release of Legacy of Seergaze, I have seen both of them myself. You can choose to believe me or not. -- 14:56, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

ANAGRAM!
Quote from one of my forum friends;

...probably a coincidence lol. jagex said its not sailing anyways =P

A Cadaver Talk

Coincidence with what? That sentence is babble.

"You felt RPG unleash sailing stat upon yo now free"
JaGEx said it was not gonna be Sailing, but this sentence leads us directly into it. RPG = RuneScape. unleash = release. Sailing stat = ah crap.... now free = they said the skill will be f2p. I hope it's another JaGEx sick joke we got for 8 years. 11:40, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thats amazing

That sentence doesn't even make sense.Boyzzz 91 09:44, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Slight Proof of What the Red Mist was?
I'll be adding a Link to my Thread page on the RS Forums Shortly.

Ok wth i have no idea how this works XD!

Red shape, fix it or take it out
Please expand that if you were there. That says absolutely nothing. Red shape in front of each player? On every tile? In every building? Hovering over players? And what shape? Spheroid? Square? A starfish outline? Mountain range? Was it transparent? If we can't do better than "red shape appeared" then we don't need that in the article.--Degenret01 10:53, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * It was just the mist stuff circling people, look at the video. 10:51, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm at work, YT is blocked, haven't seen the vids yet. Yea, sad, I know lol --Degenret01 10:53, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Mother Mallum
"Witchaven Villagers have a chance of saying: "Free. She is free... The mother is free." They are possibly referring to Mother Mallum."

Mother Mallum was set free in Slug Menace, this dialouge was probably from then. I don't think it is new Will14smith 11:01, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * They also say something about the stars aligning, which is new, (I think). 11:02, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * From the Ritual of Rejuvenation article: The Zamorakian Mahjarrat known as General Khazard has confirmed that the Ritual takes place in an icy region in the far North when certain celestial bodies align in a particular way (known as syzygy), which Azzanadra has attested occurs once about every five hundred years. 11:06, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

A while ago in one of the Chaos Elementals crazy puzzles that reveal things, there was a mention to syzygy. Also, the player syzygy was the first ever f2p player to 99 every single f2p stat -> Perhaps more reference to a new f2p skill :\ ~SmaXa

Red arrows?
I seem to recall reading something about red arrows on the wiki awhile ago, but I can't find it. Halp? 11:11, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Arrows, these ones?? Will14smith 11:18, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's the image the guy just uploaded and put and subsequently removed from the page. I vaguely remember reading about red arrows somewhere in the past. Also, I went to soul wars, and no arrows. 11:20, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe the transportation arrows for the ballons before you unlock them?--Degenret01 11:28, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

It was me, sorry my mistake, not related to this, but it's a glitch linke dto the death of a player using curses during nomad requiem. I removed it :) sorry for fake hopes :p Adanaedhel 19:43, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

yes i saw these, i followed them as i kept going in that direction and ended up at the ice plateu in the wildy

Rioters worth a mention why?
Were there really a lot of them? Or just the same few standard idiots that chant their tedious PK phrases any time their mother doesn't cut the crusts off their peanut butter sandwiches? I really would like if we could remove any reference to them in this article, as I don't see any point to what they could possibly be rioting about, or that there were enough too matter anyhow. But I wasn't ingame to see it myself.--Degenret01 11:26, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see any need for them either, I'm sure it was the standard update spam that goes on. 11:33, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Weird idea...
I just came up with this thought. Could it be that the RuneScape Java System is strong enough now to support updates without taking down the servers? And the strange power being the setting in of the update? If this is true, will it always be like this? When the system update countdown will be over only that will happen? If so, what's up with the new lines of the Witchhaven people with Mother Mallum and the other new lines? Could the update've been just to add the hints to a new quest? Still too unplausible? I think so too... 13:03, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I had thought of that as well myself, and it's an intriguing prospect. If this is in fact going to be the standard for system updates, we can expect to see more of this phenomena every so often. As for the alleged screen shaking, I'm not sure how that fits, but it might either be the aftershocks of the update (if so, cool effect), or, if it was only noticed in P2P worlds, then something extremely big is probably going to happen with Mother Mallum. Aexis Rai


 * Nope. It happened on f2p worlds too, as i am a f2per. But you're right, it really would rock. 14:45, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that they uploaded the strange power during the last system update, and set it to trigger at certain time.Muhahaa 16:31, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * They have done updates without reseting the servers before - on the release day of Perils of Ice Mountain, there was a glitch which prevented you finishing the quest, and was suddenly fixed with no system update timer or server kickout. Though, I agree that adding it on a timer with the last update seems more likely. 17:42, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

High detail
A high detail image is needed ASAP while people still have screenshots. 15:24, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

If people faced Mahjjarrat Ritual site, that would be odd because I faced East in Oog'loog

Most likely a new quest
I would say this is most likely a new quest. With the clue that contains Acolyte which as stated in the trivia section, is the next rank in the Temple Knights. People in Witchaven are saying it's Mother Mallum's power which was a key character in the most recent Temple Knight quest, Slug Menace. JaGeX also says they will continue old quest lines.-Moneypony 22:29, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

This is quite the puzzle, and many rumours have been spread, lots saying it's a new quest, but free players experienced this too, and JaGex said that free players wont be getting any new quests after Dragon slayer, so wouldn't it be a little unfair to tease free players into thinking it's something to do with them when it's not?

A new skill, this is a lovely thought but i recall in a Q&A (Questions and answers) that the new skill is coming late 2010, and the anagram ""You felt a strange power unleash itself upon you" being "you felt rpg unleash sailing stat upon you now freee" well, that's unlikely because "you felt a strange power unleash itself upon you" was not actually the message in the Runescape text box it is actually "you feel a strange power unleash itself upon you" plus JaGex clearly stated that Sailing will NOT be the new Skill, I myself was not on at the time :( but have thought long and hard about it but have no idea what it could be, I am just clearing up a few things lets hope we will find out what this mysterious "strange power" is this week! :) Many Mods are saying it's a hint to the new Skill.

Sorry for the long post

Information Needed
Hello peoples. I am trying to figure this out.

Everyone, please post where you were and what direction you faced during this.... event.

--compdude123 :D 23:19, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

OMG I MAY HAVE GOT IT!!
The stone of jas was used to make all rune altars, runes, etc, ... lucien activated the stone when the planets aligned, which is when the mahjharrat ritual starts, and now all those things, rune altars, people who used runes and altars, etc, all were effected and glowed and such!

mother mallum was a participant in the god wars... and she plans to take over the world... and the possessed witchaven villagers claim that the planets and stars are all aligned... and the mahjharrat ritual only happens when the planets are aligned every 500 years... THAT CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING...

MOTHER MALLUM IS A MAHJHARRAT!!!! OMG ITS ALL VERY CLEAR NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!!

she is a mahjharrat or she must have something to do with the mahjharrat ritual, or both...

EDIT: and she has mind control. leading more torward her being mahjharrat.

A Cadaver Talk
 * That is an interesting theory. But I have my own idea: The twitter hint is 'Variety is the essence of life.' I think essence of life has a double meaning: One, that the essence refers to runes and stuff, and Two, the essence of life is the soul. I believe that the ritual location will create the fabled soul altar, because the ritual involves the death of one or more mahjarrat. 01:10, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Essence -> also rune essence? -- 01:14, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, that is where the soul altar idea came from. Because essence in game refers to rune/pure essence. 01:17, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was also thinking that it might be the soul altar. In addition, it might be a reference to Fairy Tale Part III. Since the Fairy Tale quests relate to Farming... Farming has a variety of plants to grow, essence might refer to the Magic essence potion (which comes from a Fairy Tale quest), and life might refer to plants and growth. I think that the soul altar is more likely though. 01:20, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * i think your right about fairy tale III b/c when this thing happened all the zygomites were saying "soon they will come for you" 02:44, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

I doubt Mullum is a Maj., but while patrolling the recent changes, somebody posted a theory on MM's page; I had to remove it because it was pure speculation, but they do have a point: That lady Mallum is controlling might be Palkeera!!! I mean both were in the god wars, and Palkeera is a majharrat!
 * That's actually an interesting theory... Palkeera did die in one of the rituals in some way during the God Wars. 01:26, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Who stole my theorie :O I posted it on the forums in Nas' thread :O Let me explain. Palkeera just disappeared. There is no sign she was sacrificed during a ritual. If she was, Zemouregal would know about it. Palkeera disappeared at the same moment Mother Mallum appeared during the God Wars. The fact Zemouregal thinks she's dead, can be because she was locked up behind a door by the Temple Knights. ~ I kill ava bs

I doubt Mullum is a Maj., but while patrolling the recent changes, somebody posted a theory on MM's page; I had to remove it because it was pure speculation, but they do have a point: That lady Mallum is controlling might be Palkeera!!! I mean both were in the god wars, and Palkeera is a majharrat! 01:25, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

well, mallum might be a mahjharrat, since mahjharrat are shapeshifters.

A Cadaver Talk

Facing certain direction?
i noticed in the video clip of the strange power on the players at the kalphite queen that all the players turned the same direction when they rose up into the air. can anyone confirm which direction they turned in, and if everyone else turned in the same way? Sapienti1 01:04, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * nevermind, didn't notice that little bit in the article --Sapienti1 01:06, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

direction is a hint
In the wilderness (to the north) was where the original god wars was, so maybe since all people faced north east, a new god may come from there or a new god wars in the north east.
 * The original God Wars didn't happen just at the wilderness, but at the whole plane of Gielinor. What I think that is related to the way people faced is The North, the place of the ritual that the Mahjarrat do when the stars align(According to a postbag I think), and the villagers in Witchaven are talking about the stars nearly aligned. 17:10, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * If I could be so bold, it could be a sneak peek on special fx with the orb of oculus, or it could be about the Digsite Barge's sailing location. Hmm? Hmmmmm? :D Tehnoobshow101 21:05, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Think I found something...
Has Mother Mallum's lair always been accessible? If not... then it is now! 02:35, January 25, 2010 (UTC)



I think it has... 02:39, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

It has, I remember acessing it for the final quest of the series (currently the last, that is.) Jonweasel 02:44, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ah... disappointing. Also, the map in the Witchaven Dungeon article shows the lair, which confirms that it's always been there. 02:45, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Enahkra's Lament
Listed in the trivia it says something like this happened with the release of Enahkrah's Lament,

"This event corresponds with the release of Enakhra's Lament 4 years ago. "

but there is no other information, does anyone have any idea what happened/ pictures? Jonweasel 02:43, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well actually, the article meant they were both released on the same date. 03:05, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

what if jagex did it to....
what if jagex did all this to see what we'd say about it so they could find out what to release next.....

great way to be lazy jagex and let the public make your decisions for you

lmfao 02:59, January 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * COngratz on having the silliest hypothesis yet.--Degenret01 03:16, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * And imagine Jagex releasing Mind Control as a new skill because I was the only one who suggested it. :P 05:43, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

The idea that JaGex did do this to see what we would say and base their update on it is plausable and lazy i agree lmao

Well at least they would do what we wanted them to, sort of... 21:17, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

The Anagram: Acolyte Until
a mod left use a anagram Acolyte Until. if you like at it very carefully. he also said that its 4 words and starts with "I".

taking a guess a possible answer is i can't tell you.

The anagram does say I cant tell you its just the work of a JMOD being bored


 * There are any number of ways to make an anagram for "I can't tell you". Why start it with the word Acolyte - a Temple Knight rank... 14:14, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Added category

Witchaven

 * Recent sources have pointed to Witchaven
 * Last week the lecture in the church has a graphic update
 * All the slug victims in the village replied:

"Soon Now... So Soon", "the stars are almost right"

"she is free", "the mother is free."

"Our savour", "Don't worry your regret will soon be gone"

-- 15:22, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is a massive sources of power at that village
 * Witchaven is known to be runescape most ignored town confirmed by mod mark in a recent for post (forum lost, source coming soon)
 * all the floating object in Witchaven have seamed to stopped.

Not completely right, the floating items were caused by Kenith during Kenith's Conncerns, but it's possible. 15:49, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Why hasn't anyone realized this yet? Mother Mallum... Acolyte Until... variety, essense!

It all fits!


 * Mother Mallum = quest.
 * Acolyte Until isn't an anagram, the answers right in front of you! Acolyte is the new Knight Type!
 * The new armor is up to Acolyte! Before, it was up to Proselyte.
 * And, the essence hint may refer the soul altar becoming present after this quest. It's either going to be Hard, or GM.

Player Froob 16:01, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Btw, I'm a free player. Proof is in these links.

White Knight

White equipment

Either way, Proselyte is as strong as addy armor.

Acolyte will be as strong as rune.

and... if Partisan comes out(highly unlikely) it'll be as strong as Dragon.

Player Froob 16:13, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

I can't tell you = Acolyte Until. Silly anagram, or real hint?
Now, "Acolyte Until" was VERY quickly unscrambled into "I can't tell you"....

Did anyone else think that this anagram was meant to be not only unscrambled, but also taken literally? "I can't tell you UNTIL ACOLYTE" A new quest that advanced you to the rank of Acolyte? ^^ New acolyte rank armor, which goes along with the promises of combat equipment, and then they can give us more information? Just a guess. (I love the idea of more prayer boosting armor ^.~ )

Asia-Neko 17:52, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'll have to try all the combinations myself before I believe that's the answer.... 00:15, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Fist of guthix reference?
Have you noticed how much the animation of absorbing a charge in fist of guthix and the mist animation are alike? I think maybe the mysterious door in the fog lobby will be opened up soon, maybe a zamorak area could be there and the red mist was the monks of zamorak trying to absorb fist of guthix charges for more power?

Pew01 00:53, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

pretty cool idea, but i doubt it, would be a bit of a random update, unless it was quest related XUK legendx 02:03, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

The mysterious door in the FoG lobby? Oh, that one according to the article(Fist Of Guthix)... It LEADS to the fist of guthix. The examine text is "I should wait for my opponent first." In other words, it's not a mysterious door that leads to a dungeon, it leads to the Fist of Guthix Arena, where people pvp.

Rumors, rumors and rumors... *sigh*.

Player Froob 03:15, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

But, you do have a point. The mist animation does look alike the Fist of Guthix's animation, which means the doings of "Lucien". Since, the Fist Of Guthix's power actually comes from when Guthix tried to smash Stone of Jas, and Lucien now has it, he could have done the "mist thingy". According to the trivia(for Lucien) -

"Lucien reveals that he intends to usurp Zamorak in While Guthix Sleeps by using the Stone of Jas to strengthen the Mahjarrat and control the life force of the world."

We are the life force!

Small Update
I have a theory that jagex merely made a small update as usual, I believe that thex have recently figured out how to update without restarting their servers. Remember, this is just a theory, and most theories are proven incorrect.

signed, Zeoz

seems a big deal just to be a small update, and that doesn't explain the "strange power".

 * You don't just "figure" something like this out. It is possible to trigger events (such as mass animations) by either time or giving the server a command to do so. For example, it is possible to make such code:

if (getTime.equals("XX/XX/XX") {   runAnimation(getAnimationID); }

or: if (getCommand.equals("runAnimation") {   runAnimation(getAnimationID); }


 * In order for Java code to update, it the application has to be restarted. So, while it is possible to trigger events given by either time, or a command, or some sort of action (most commonly seen around RuneScape)(You click on a tree (action) and an animation and some other code starts running) it doesn't mean that it's possible to make RuneScape type of updates without restarting the servers and the client applications themselves.
 * 14:38, January 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, it probably came from the last server update. All they had to do was, "if servers reach peak Players on 1/23/2010, then execute red_mist.app." Something like that.

Old man
So, I was investigating this incident further when I found something else that might be new. You know the wrecked ship near Port Phasmatys? There's an old man aboard who, when you greet him, says, "Wonderful, wonderful! Mother's coming to get me!" 01:24, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay! -- 01:28, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

yes but that guy was from the ghosts ahoy quest and his mother is the old crone near the slayer tower. Also he was driven insane from the isolation. 01:47, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * Nah, it's fine. I should have known this myself, but I did Ghosts Ahoy like... 3 years ago?  01:55, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * At least you created a new article. -- 01:57, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mm, true. I'm surprised no one else had bothered to create it, considering how long the quest has been out. 02:00, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Has anyone gotten any HD screenshot of this? The YouTube GIF is pretty bad. 12:09, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

The video on wikia is actually from youtube.

unfortunately I cant remember the name of the video but I know i searched 23rd January 2010 Runescape sooo you might find it too.

Not a quest, not anything to do with the godwars, or orb of oc.
i'm almost 100% sure it's a hint to the new Skill which JaGeX said they will release soon on their recent Q&A, not quest or GWD (god wars) because free players don't have access to that.

It COULD be a new area, in the direction we all faced after it happened which free players have access to aswell, but i doubt that.

it's quite obvious that the updates to come, or the ones they tweeted will not have anything to do with the "strange power" update.

xuk legendx 13:33, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

The Explosion Theory
Having sounded a lot like an explosion, the Strange Power must be a hint of some sort. Most likely something with an apocalyptic theme. The person above me said something about a new skill. Although speculations are big, the strange power's reason is narrowed down to two possibilities; a new skill or a new quest.

Jh5kRadio 14:50 EST Jan 29 2010

Zaros is coming...
I have no proof though so just believe...acually its probably a new skill..or Zaros godwars dungeon (look at my forums post Zaros godwars)

iposeidon791

'In the recent Q&As from three Jagex Moderators (Mod MMG, Mod Roderick and Paul Gower), it has been hinted that Zaros will return soon. It was also hinted many years ago by the Chaos Elemental in a Postbag from the Hedge with the phrase "bizarre boron swell", an anagram of "Zaros will be reborn".'

'Some gravestones also show the Zarosian symbol on its top. When read, it says "_______, servant of the Unknown Power, perished in this place.'

from: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Zaros

In addition - Is it a coincidence, that for the first time, we are able to see a god's animated face for the first time, and it happens to be ZAROS, from what i've read, Making a communion portal disrupted runescape (from quest cutscene) and this would mean that ZAROS' confinements are immensely strong = ZAROS is immensely strong. Which would mean if he has returned, He would be able to do this : Unleash a strange power on EVERY SINGLE PLAYER AT ONE TIME.

Before you say anything about F2P. F2P is gielinor too so obviously will be affected by Zaros - it won't be like 'you need to be on a member's server for Zaros to obliterate you.'

Lookin good :)

Stone of Jas symbol (Spirit Realm portal in North East wilderness)
Basically, I was looking at hints on what this Red Fog event meant, and I started by following up on 'people turning north east'

North = Wilderness, which is the most visible effect of the God Wars (Me being a firm believe this means Zaros returns)

I checked the Chaos Altar (and the Spirit realm of it) I checked the Demonic ruins... then while evading a rev knight, I stumbled upon the spirit realm portal (north east wilderness, before member's gate) and I thought, ooh free exp.

I went into it, and I walked around the spirit realm, then just before leaving, I sighted the symbol of the Stone of Jas (South of portal)

Pros - North east.

Cons - Lucien has the stone of jas

Pros - Zaros would probs need it to get back

Cons - If this is a quest, all this is void.

Yea, this is probably quest related, but I'm not sure.

So - Responses and Ideas plox!

Do you mean that you saw the Stone of Jas symbol in the ruins of some building in the north-east wilderness? Sorry to disappoint, but that symbol has been there ever since Summer's End came out. 00:18, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oh Arrr :c

I Repeat, it CAN'T BE QUEST RELATED!
Since free players got the strange power aswell, it would be wrong into making them think it's something to do with them when it isn't, and since JaGeX made it clear that Dragon Slayer was the last free to play Quest, the Strange power has nothing to do with quest, so it narrows it down to be the hint for the new Skill, but what skill could it possibly hint at? MMG said that it is unique to runescape and no other MMO has had it, rumours went around saying the new Skill begins with "B" and it was going to be a FunOrb game. maybe just rumours but it does leave me to think what the new skill is.

 * You're probably right. But when did Jagex say that Dragon Slayer would be the last free quest? 01:20, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

They said it a while back, just after it was released and not another got released for a while and questions got asked, and that's what they answered, it was just before members got added, i think. User:xuk legendx 01:22, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thing is, Rune Mysteries came out after dragon slayer, if I am correct. 12:33, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, just found that out. but no free quest for 7 years,and i doubt they'll make a Zaros Quest free to play. or mother Mallus etc. xuk legendx 02:32, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

someone was clicking at the frozen door at god wars and found some npc box, and it looks fairly legit. Bagels 15:11, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please, not that photoshopped pile of ****, You have to be brain-dead to believe that (not directed at above). 18:09, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hm... I wonder...
Is it not possible, that, seeing how this is unlike what we've seen before, it could be a beginning to the "Eastern Lands". I don't know what the strange power was, or who (or of course, what) caused it, but it's a thought... Probably just my own hopes for the "lands"...

EDIT: Now its getting spammed (all the recent updated forums) with ridiculous claims about Runecrafting, Summoning, etc.

This is SPAM confirmed ~

its to much like kuradle to be real- why does everybody believe that kid? 02:43, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just looked through the thread and 2 other people claimed to see her. That doesn't prove anything however. It is a good liar if it is one since she has talked rationally throughout the whole thread and not tried to sensationalise it. Also she has stuck with the thread which I have never seen before for a lie. 09:08, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Uhm I'm not sure what to believe does this even have anything to do with Red Fog?! (should't be here.)

If someone see it, don't forget to take some screenshots and upload it.

So we could start making the page about tiana.

Strange Power

There is a video to what this strange power might be.

lol
There rare also roots that do the same thing. Lingy

Enakhra
Fun Fact: Did you know that the strange power took place exactly 4 years after the quest Enakhra's Lament came out?

This calls for a vocabulary list that can be used to decipher what the Strange Power is about.
