Update hints



A Twitter hint is a hint that Jagex releases on its official Twitter account (or RuneScape Twitter account) usually every Sunday or Monday on a week where a game update is planned. This hint consists of a sentence or a set of words that is designed to give players a clue of what the update might be, be it a quest, a skill update, or changes to existing content. Usually the hint is also posted on other language Jagex Twitter accounts. Sometimes the meaning of the hints are different for each language. However, since the rerelease of Behind the Scenes, the hints are now being released as images.

A lot of speculation about the upcoming update is often based around the Twitter hint. There are usually at least two or three threads on the Future updates forum of the RuneScape Forums that try to decipher the hint.

These hints are mostly posted by Mods Ajd or Emilee, hence why some hints are followed by "Ajd" or "Ems".

Since Behind the Scenes updates returned in June 2010, Jagex stopped giving out hints. Instead, a message will be posted saying the traditional "Next week in RuneScape:" along with a link to the RuneScape website and an image.
