this (now current) graphics updates is much better than the older version…though it takes up a lot of bw and it sometimes freezes but it is worth it by a lot. the new light settings are amazing especially the poh. and to me wow will never trump rs simply because it is just to expensive to even start. you can start rs for free and when you lvl up a bit you can upgrade

If you know anything about either Java or any programming language at all, you would understand that Jagex would not rewrite Runescape again, especially in another language. It would be like Nintendo writing a game for the Xbox 360.

I am real excited about the Graphical Update. It will bring in many new people into the game (hopefully some older people too).

But I think Jagex shouldent only focus on the graphics, as they haven’t updated some current skills in YEARS! I personally think they should focus on that before they get into the Graphics….

But Graphic’s fine too

dude of course it must work on java but i am surprised how come you can play a game on your browser with full screen and it’s java :O jagex must have alot of database or they could been using a very good computer to restore info.
but i agree when you said this work can not be done in less than 2 year actually your rite if you saw the dev diary there it says it have been expected to finish after 1 year and 7 months altho they did all of that in like ….. wat? 5 months… those people are telling us they are nerds actually iam not against them but tbh thats funny also as you said java is not that good with graphics… i guess jagex have to do their best or they will lose more money… i bet that the new graphics is gonna be for members only …. why? because they need more money! they are doing all of that so new people joins and they get more money i think jagex saw Wow ( world of warcraft ) and they got angry.. how come you pay alot to WoW while you cant pay 5$ to play runescape members?
of course they have been doing researches and they got up to that WoW graphics are way better than runescape…

Ok thats all thanks

Well, I’m looking forward to this update. Even though I stopped playing about 2 years ago, this is one of the only updates in a few years that I care about. It seems like Jagex is setting a big step forward with this update, which is indeed necesairy to stay “in the game”.

But honestly, I don’t think that Runescape will survive merely because of a graphical update. They will need to improve on a lot of parts to keep up with other MMO’s. It would need more in-depth gameplay, no skills like firemaking, which involve lighting fires and candles. They need to create a bigger world and better transport around it. In my opinion, the game will need a complete revamp, to be able to stay ahead of/keep up with the rest.

In regards to what K13 said, the trade limit will not be fixed and the wildy will not come back. jagex has stated these things plenty of times.

I’m looking forward to the graphics update. In fact, the only thing I think I was just as excited about was the GE. I’ll take a couple of price fluxuations over spending time I could be actually playing, in a bank trying to sell something.

As far as switiching to WOW goes, I’d rather stick with RS which I’ve been playing for 4-5 years. Its cheap and its a browser game, so I can play it regardless as to what computer I’m on. I have no interest in starting something just because its a game with similar style. My question is this, Why is it that it seems half the people who play WOW spend time on RS complaining about how much they like WOW better? Why don’t you just spend that time playing WOW? Same with guild Wars. Do they really feel the need to do something they ultimately don’t want to do, just so they have something to complain about?

Good article.
