The archaeologists are there already, yet so far I haven't found a single thread or another piece of information on whether Ullek is going to be an area of research or not in the Archaeology skill.
Given the historical importance of Ullek and the lands near it, there should be at least some discussion on this matter.
In my opinion, it should be one of the sites of interest. What say you, fellow scapers?
Jagex released Dungeoneering exactly like this back about a decade ago.
They released frozen through occult floors at first, then batch 2 included wraped floors.
Same with summoning. Most level 80+ familiars were only released in batch 2, which also included a whole lot of skilling familiars.
Invention too was released in 2 batches. Batch 1 was mostly combat oriented stuff while batch 2 was a bit more leaning towards skilling tools.
Archaeology isn't being released in batches - it could stand alone on what we're launching this month with no obvious gaps. Wanting to add additional content to Archaeology in the future, however, is not the same thing as batching its release. All skill get new content added over time.
It's one of the things the core team wanted to achieve based on how the last five skills were added, and that is partly why things took a little longer than we ideally wanted. I guess we'll see how well we've achieved that soon enough, though.
