Update hints were messages which offered clues about an impending updates that Jagex released through its official off-site accounts. The hints were in the form of pictures, a different picture for each account, all of them referring to the same update. Together the images provided clues about an update scheduled to be released within the month. Hints were posted on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and the RuneScape Forums. Some hints or previews towards new content or updates of existing content were placed inside the game intentionally, making them in-game update hints rather than leaks.
