Trivia

 * The Z-buffering update made RuneScape run faster for many people in most areas of the game.
 * Though it has been confirmed that male skillcapes would be "fixed" along with the Z-buffering update, the fix was to shorten female skillcapes instead of lengthen male skillcapes. Due to this, many people complained on the official RuneScape forums.
 * Shortly after the update, when a player received a message in clan chat, all public usernames became the same colour of the clan chat. This was fixed in a system update shortly after.

 * After this update, some players found their chat partially disabled. (Unable to chat 50% of the time)
 * According to Jagex, due to the Z-buffering changes, the Wilderness ditch no longer looked right (in fact, they said it looked rather unsightly). As such, Jagex replaced the ditch graphic with a low wall.

 * This update brought along a glitch in the music. Any song that interrupts the jukebox music (ie: level up music) will not play for a second and then start playing in the middle of the song. This has yet to be fixed by Jagex.
