<h2>
A History of Non-violence
<br/>
by <a href="indexc15e.html?author_id=34">Mod<EFBFBD>Maz</a> 12-Feb-2010
</h2>
<div class="content"><p>Shattered Heart is a new skill update that I<>m working on to tie in with every non-combat skill. It<49>s designed to reward those players who take an even-handed approach to training skills (or to encourage training skills you normally wouldn<64>t). It<49>s not a D&D or minigame, but it does have repeatable elements similar to those categories of content. </p><p>Creating an update to support existing non-combat skills without adding any new mechanics to them is no easy feat; however, <span class="strong">Mod Mark</span> and I rose to the challenge, and after playing with some ideas came up with some prototype code that seemed to do the trick. </p><p>Balancing the project and getting the rewards right involved lots of numbers on a spreadsheet and pretty, curved graphs - hopefully, all that effort will pay off!</p><p>While doing my best not to spoil the update for you, the event supports players who have a well-rounded approach to training, and will be a bit of a break from the updates we<77>ve seen recently which have been fairly heavily combat-oriented.<br />I quite like this as my "choob" account (the character I play in RuneScape when I<>m not on <span class="strong">Mod Maz</span>) is very heavily skill-based. Combat is my least favourite thing to do, unlike many other developers! It was refreshing to be able to create something that I would enjoy and, even better, actually be able to play. When I was first releasing my own content I couldn<64>t actually play any of it; things like the Warriors<72> Guild took me six months to finally gain access to on my choob!</p><p>There<EFBFBD>s even a little here for players that like story, as Shattered Heart delves into a little of the history of RuneScape. Early in the 2nd Age, when the only runes were those created by Guthix, many battles were fought over them. This event involves a mage who was in one of those battles and what happened to him afterwards...</p><p>So, when Shattered Heart has been released and you<6F>re out there running around your Agility course, Fletching your bows or maybe netting some fish, keep an eye out for interesting things appearing in your inventory.</p><p>Oh, and don<6F>t worry, I am still working on the Elite Achievement Diaries too - I haven<65>t forgotten them!</p><p>If you'd like to discuss this blog on the forums, please visit <a href="../m%3dforum/forums9d67.html?16,17,160,60371016">this forum thread</a>.</p></div>
