As more players join our community it has been getting gradually harder to get into the hiscores. Therefore we have increased our hiscores to contain the top 1,000,000 players in each skill!

This means more people should now be able to take part in the hiscores and see how they compare with their friends.

Note: If you are not already listed you will not appear in the hiscores until you next logout. You also still need a minimum of 30 in a skill to be listed.
