RuneScape developer Jagex targets £150,000 fundraising for mental health charities supporting young people


Jagex will link up with CPSL Mind, The Prince’s Trust, and YMCA Right Here on a local, national, and international level and has a target of raising £150,000 in 2017 to support their programmes. The games developer and publisher has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes in recent years, including over £100,000 for SpecialEffect in 2016.


The Prince’s Trust Macquarie Youth Index report, released at the start of the year, revealed that young people’s happiness and confidence are at their lowest levels since the organisation launched its study eight years ago. Over a third – 37 percent – of young people aged 16-25 admitted to feeling stressed about coping with work and school, while NEET young people (those not in employment, education or training) are more likely to feel worried about their circumstances and their future. These burdens impact the mental health of young people and increase their chances of not fulfilling their potential.

World of Tanks update 9.18 addresses major concerns game gets an improved matchmaker, new SPG mechanics, and Tier X light tanks

Update 9.18 for World of Tanks, bringing fundamental changes to the game. The dev team started on their quest to evolve the game’s core by tackling some of the most heated issues the project has today. With this update, they introduced the new, template-based matchmaking system, made comprehensive changes to artillery, and revised light tank lines, stretching them to Tier X.


The improved matchmaker assembles teams choosing from a set of server-based algorithms—templates—so that both camps always have the same number of vehicles at the top/middle/bottom of the list. It also limits the number of SPGs per side to 3 at the most and significantly reduces the instances of map duplications. Together, these new rules and restrictions are designed to foster an engaging gaming experience where it’s almost impossible to predict the battle outcome and every player gets to contribute to it.

Easy way to complete Trial of Thunder in Zelda: Breath of the Wild (use only a few arrows!) NO Stasis NO broken weapons - Nintendo Switch

Trying to get those pesky orbs onto the main island in The Trial of Thunder in Zelda: Call of the Wild?

Broken plenty of weapons trying to blast the orb?

Lightning keeps striking your weapons?

Here's an easy way to complete the task with only arrows and your, unlimited bombs!

First check out my tip on how to tell which bows you can carry during lightning storms - here on gamezplay.

Using a bow that is safe during lightning, or use one that isn't quickly, fire an arrow at any orb balanced on top of the stone tower to knock it to the ground. You can't climb the stone towers during rain! If you get on top of the tower and use Stasis you may waste a lot of weapons, well you don't have to with this guide.

Once the orbs are on the ground carry them to the lowest broken side with the broken grass panels. You'll notice that the panels form and indent you can place items into.


Now collect a barrel or stone from the grass patch just round from your location.

Easy way to check what weapons you can carry during lightning in Zelda: Call of the Wild

If you carry metal weapons during thunder and lightening storms in Zelda: Breath of the Wild then they will start to spark and before long lightning will strike you causing damage. You can 'REMOVE' the items to stay safe, however if you want to know what weapons you can use using Thunderstorms just check the items screen.


All items that can be struck by lightning will show an animated lightning graphic overlay, the ones that are safe to use don't have the lightening animations.
