New Client & Cache Upgrade

First of all I'd like to thank you guys for the massive support over these couple days. We've only just launched and were able to manage an outrageous amount of money donated leading to me getting that new client I was nagging about since day 1. I'm more than happy to announce that it's here, and ready for you to use! As always - new things lead to new bugs, so keep me updated if you find anything game-breaking . So without further ado, here are the changes this new client brings us:

• Cache upgraded from 861 to 888 (current version RS3 is on right now), this means we have all the latest items, monsters, maps - you name it, we have it!
• Fixed Server->Client NPC tile update (this would show up as npc's floating and 'teleporting' into wrong places),
• Fixed Ambient sounds, with full sound bank support (no more ear-rapes) (if you enjoy playing with sounds on then you'll hear some beautiful ambient noises around you, like birds flapping their wings for example),
• Fixed Object varbit definitions ((configs) this would occasionally display the wrong objects while doing player-related things, like farming for example),
• Improved general performance (personally I could now run it on max graphic settings with minimum to none stuttering while rotating the camera),
• Finally an open-source client for me to edit whenever I have to (was partially obfuscated prior),
• RS3 client's texture support (this would show up as Divination not having it's symbol on the skill-cape for example),
• Fixed support for the World map,
• Fixed support for generating mini-map icons on the fly,
• Loads of sounds are now stored in the cache and will play when performing emotes (this removes the need of me having to hard-code every sound onto every action in the future)!

You'll notice that Velheim looks much.. much better now in general, and I hope you're as excited as I am!
For people who're using the not-recommended client, you'll have to download it again

Game Perks

Introducing 2 new game perks:

• Runic Ritual - this perk will add an extra 50% 'invisible' essence when Runecrafting scaling up with the runes you get and experience (subject to change);
• Builder Bob - this perk will help you with your Construction needs, having a 50% chance of saving a material type when building furniture (subject to change);
• Dungeon Deamon - this perk will remove the requirement of having keys to unlock doors while in Dungeoneering (subject to change);
• Coalkeeper - this perk has a 50% chance of saving a random amount of coal based on the amount needed when Smelting bars (subject to change).

Game Ranks

@Ahoy decided to spice things up with our current donator ranks, and I quote 'let's pimp the forum!'
Ranks are now as follow:

1. Regular Donator (green) -> Sapphire (blue),
2. Extreme Donator (red) -> Emerald (green),
3. Legendary Donator (blue) -> Ruby (red),
4. Supreme Donator (yellow) -> Diamond (white),
5. Ultimate Donator (purple) -> Dragonstone (purple).

Rank tiers and pricing are all the same, we just figured this could be a more relatable ranking system with at least 2 more expands in the future (if necessary)!
