To be honest, i think its about time something really good like this happened. For the past year or so, jagex has been getting a bad rep over RuneScape due to all the really radical changes they are making. Of course, thats a whole other issue and would be pointless to discuss in this issue. Anyway, to get back to the point. I think Jagex is finally going to get something right. If RuneScape wants to survive in the upcoming MMORPG heat, it needed to buff up its game. Jagex realized that if they didn’t cut the laziness and start working on something that will make people head back to RuneScape.. their pretty much over. After all, most people eventually move onto World of Warcraft (WoW) from RuneScape. Why? Although i don’t have a definite answer, i believe that it could be the possiblity of growing up a bit more. Like for example, as i started to learn more and started to hit age 14-15, i started to realize that there were alot better games out there. That are more fun and graphically more appealing, RuneScape’s visual appeal started to wear off on me and quite frankly, i got sick of it.

Now, this may not be the case with all players. I know some people just simply enjoy the simplicity of playing RuneScape in a webbrowser with java. Yeah, everyone has their own preferences. But wow, im actually quite impressed with Jagex. I have looked at some of the screenshots they released and i certainly am impressed. Although we currently don’t know how they plan to release the high resolution version of the game, im quite firm in believing that the next generation of RuneScape will not be running on java. Simply because java is not good enough.

Ok so, Jagex releases a new graphics update. So what you may ask? I think this is what all those long lost rumors of RuneScape 3 was. They have been working on this update for a very long time. Theres no possible way to reconstruct all of RuneScape in a matter of a year or less. Its just too much work. Ladies and gentlemen, cheers to the next generation of RuneScape!

Now.. we sit and wait, we don’t know much about this mysterious update..yet. But ill be sure to rewrite another article once it is released.
