Notes



The Notes feature is a part of the interface that allows players to add up to 30 notes in plain text, with a maximum of 50 characters each, for a total of 1500 characters. Players can add a note by pressing the button at the top-left of the interface, which is marked with a green 'plus' (+) symbol, and then typing on the keyboard.

Players can customise an individual note by right-clicking it. This allows them to change the colour of the note's text to any of four different colours (red, green, yellow and white), with white being the default. They can also edit the text of any note, although they can merely add more text to the end, or delete text (starting at the end). They cannot, for example, add text to the beginning of a note without deleting all the text of the note and retyping it.

Players can delete any note by selecting it and then pressing the "Delete" bar, or delete all notes by right-clicking the Delete bar and selecting "Delete all".

The Notes feature is useful for keeping track of prices or writing down lists of things to buy. It could also be used in quests that require you to remember a word or phrase.

This was released with the Mobilising Armies update of 8 July 2009

Users restricted to quick chat (under 13s or muted players) cannot use this feature. It is unknown if you can use it on Quick Chat worlds. .

Important: Players should not store their password, their bank PIN, or any personal information in a note.

Easter Eggs
Typing several phrase will result in the note changing to a popular culture reference:


 * "All your base are belong to us": "orly" (Oh, really?)
 * "orly": "yarly" (Yes, really)
 * "murder" or "redrum": "All rest and no play makes Guthix a dull boy."
 * "Andrew": "Cabbage."
 * "Paul": "Rargh, I'm a lava monster!"
 * "I am your father": "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
 * "I'll be back": "Come with me if you want to live."
 * "Finish the fight": "They must love the smell of hero."
 * "There is no spoon": "Then you will see, it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."
 * "You fight like a dairy farmer": "How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

Mod Hope has confirmed there are more to be found.

In the guide section of the RuneScape website Controls - Notes there is an example note pictured that states "Finish reading the Oxford English Dictionary -S.". This could be a reference to the movie Evan Almighty in which God leaves notes for protagonist Evan Baxter, signed with "G". The note could have been signed by the RuneScape god Saradomin, encouraging players to spell better.

Glitches

 * Occasionally, if a player adds or edits notes after being logged in for more than fifteen minutes, they will be deleted. This was fixed in an update on the 13th of July.

Trivia

 * When you type in "There is no spoon" you will get the message "Then you will see, it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself." The max characters per note is 50. The message is more than that number with a total of 71, instead. This is also a reference to the movie "The Matrix"
 * When you type in "Murder"&#160;you will get the message "All rest and no play makes Guthix a dull boy", which is a reference to Stephen King's "The Shining", "All rest and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
