He said if he has his way there would be one, but because his boss has to approve it, he can't commit to it.

The second bit you pasted talks about the rings event. special rings being sold with some extra stuff on them (i.e. some melee or ranged or magic attack depending on the ring). As they suit they are not worth a dime, but if you manage to get them to +12 before the next maintenance, they will boost them for you to +18.

If you pay your 2000rps to buy those rings you MUST boost them to +12 yourself otherwise you have just pissed away $20 USD EACH. That boosting is almost frigging impossible because the succcess rate even using their *cough* premium abradants the reinforce fails 50-75% of the time. Expect to spend $100-$150 avg PER RING.
