Has Jagex kept their promises?

Dan · **Posted:** January 23rd, 2005, 6:42 pm

First, i would just like to say that I'm not complaining, I love what Jagex has done. But I found this on their site of things they wanted to do in 2004:

Runescape.com Behind the Scenes wrote:

New areas:

A viking style area, including a new quest and town. [ Relekka - The Freemenik Trials ]
A large 'frozen lands' area including penguins, mammoths, polar bears and more.
A pyramid quest in the desert full of traps, treasure and mummys .
A barrows of the undead area to explore and find new equipment. [ The Shade Ares from Shades of Morton ]
Some good training areas designed for rangers.

New quests:

There will of course be lots of new quests. We will be adding these on a regular basis again, including Part 4 of the ongoing plague city storyline.

New items:

Enchantable rings.
More rare weapons and armour - including weapons with impressive special moves.
Armoured boots. [ Mage, ranger, & the new armored boots !! ]
More clothing to help give your characters a unique look.
Special prayer book items which can be wielded in the shield spot for prayer bonuses. [ Reward from Horrom from the Deep Quest ]
New features & skills
Treasure hunt mini-game with a variety of rewards, including some new rare items. [ Treasure Trails !!!]
Summoning spells - summon skeletons, demons, etc...!
A quest journal for you to read and recap what point you are up to in each quest. No more coming back to a quest after a break, and wondering what you are supposed to do next. [ Um, yeah... I've never seen different lol ]
More random events, to give more variety, and lots of chances to win unexpected rewards.
More pets and followers with different properties and abilities.
Special organised game events on holidays. [ Yo-yos man !! w00t !!]
Many new monsters such as Orcs, Lizardmen and more.
In game versions of our boardgames such as chess and draughts. [ Game Room in Burthorpe !!]

And are also planning on adding even bigger features, that really take advantage of our new engines abilities, such as:
Player owned houses - Each player will be able to have their own unique house. Use the new carpentry skill to make new/rare things for your house. Using the farming skill to grow herbs and plants in the grounds of your house. Build your own private party areas and shop areas, and more!
Clan support, to allow you to optionally form your own clans with your friends.
Mutiplayer castle arena for massive team based wars! [ Castle Wars near Yanille !!]
Randomly generated scenarios, where a new adventure is generated for you and your friends each time you go on it. Form an adventuring party and go on your own personal quest.

Some of these things I'm really looking forward too !!

No melee boots though

Lol

Zach · **Posted:** January 23rd, 2005, 7:30 pm

Wouldnt you consider the climbing boots as melee boots since they give you +3 strength?

Dan · **Posted:** January 23rd, 2005, 7:33 pm

Hmm I guess so... haven't done Troll Stronghold yet, so I wouldn't know...

But yeah I guess those count

Maybe Jagex needs to fire the incompetant fools, and hire people who know what they're doing!

Dan · **Posted:** January 24th, 2005, 8:18 am

I still don't understand how they can do houses ??

So many people, and they wouldn't have houses covering the entire world I know that...

Cant wait tho !!

lol

thyd have a map just as big as the world map is already to accomodate just some of the members houses, it would be such a big area unless the houses occupy like 4 map squares and are terraced...

Maybe there'd be a new place, where the houses are. Like 5 in a row but you cant see each others houses unless you're on their friends list.
