RuneScape developer Jagex has unveiled a brand new website and logo for its popular free-to-play online role-playing game.
Launching tomorrow, the redesigned website will sport a brand new look, as well as an array of new tools and features.
New features include a brand new community-editable RuneScape wiki, which will be available for all players to edit and add to.
Meanwhile, an events section will be devoted to organizing and advertising events, which will enable users to "put up details on the events feed and place a location pin into the events map to direct prospective attendees".
Finally, news, media and social activity feeds will be moved to the new front page, ensuring that "up-to-the-minute RuneScape information is readily available at all times".

I love how all of the pictures of warriors and such look nothing like they do in the game.

Frankly, it's beautiful. But, it looks like ''just another MMORPG''. Runescape WAS cool because of its simplicity
I miss the old design from 2005. I liked when RS was a simple game. I liked the nooby graphics. I liked the old design of the items such as: Scimmy, Whip, Daggers, etc.

That's one of the reason I will never return: It's like I've been sleeping for 100 years and I woke up in the future. It got too complicated for me lol. Despite the beautiful new home page, the oldest ones had something special: CREATE ACCOUNT giant button, and next to it LOG IN giant button right in your sight.
I liked when the page looked like that:

As F2P, 17 was my default world, when I turned to members, it became 18. But those eventually became always full so I switched for something else that I don't remember (123 I think).
G.E. was a bad thing because one of the badass aspect of RS was that if you wanted to sell something...you had to TRY to go to W2, with all those noobs in Fally park. (Since trading is back, is it like that again? tell me)
Or W1 with noobs at Varrock bank. Yeah I miss that a bit.

Again, good design, good home page, very impressive. But looks like ''just another MMORPG among many others''. I miss the characters with black lines as their eyes. Yeh.

the homepage seems a little bit of information overload.

They've messed up the game client on Google Chrome/Firefox if you happen to have a small screen like me, which forces me to use their Runescape client -.-

Looks alright. It'll take some time to get used to, but overall it looked nice. At least it's something new to look at for the three or so seconds I'm on it.

Generally I don't use the website except for the "play now" button. For my runescape news, I rely on their RSS feed. I doubt if I will refer much to the new wiki, I'll probably just keep using the Runescape wikia site.

Why did the once again change the look of the hi-scores page? Now it's pretty much messed up. With the skill icons on the right instead of the left of the screen, and with the icons being so large, you can't get a nice compact view of your hi-scores. The original hi-scores worked great, why can't they just keep it simple on somethings?

Thank goodness the "hi-scores lite" page is still available, so I can at least keep importing my hi-score data into excel to track my stats.

There is way too much information on the main page now. Also I don't like how the search boxes for the GE/hiscores are now tiny. Overall it looks prettier, but more cluttered.
