Gnome Graphical Update and Contest Announcement

On February 9, 2011, with the release of the "Prisoner of Glouphrie" quest, JAGEX made a graphical update of the Gnome race, one of the most concentrated races in Runescape, besides Humans. Gnomes always kind of looked like little cubes on top of each other, and thier chat head was irritatingly simple. And yet, I miss the old Gnomes. I think JAGEX could have done a much more original job, although the graphics are flawless. I note that they were updated around the time that the movie "Gnomeo and Juliet" (witch I have no real interest in seeing) was announced. I also note that the Runescape gnomes and the gnomes from the movie are almost identical.
Now they look to un-original. The old gnome chat head gives it that Proper, British-gnomey sort of look, which I always associate with RS Gnomes.

Also, I will be extending the vote deadline for the "What do you think of Free Trade and the Wilderness returning?" poll, and adding a new poll, too!

If you haven't already, GO VOTE NOW!!!
