I'm ready to give them 1/5 because they should be focusing on getting rid of the no-longer-necessary random events, instead of all this fluff. And especially instead of taking 2 weeks off.

Also, it looks like the mini-map hasn't gotten any larger. That's a pitty.

And do you think we will be able to angle the screen so we look up? I doubt it. Pitty here too. I get tired of looking down all the time. I'd like to be able to look up a mountain side, or up at the taller monsters.

Well, at least it's better than what it is now or previously, so I'd try to show some appreciation rather than just giving it a rating of 1/5..

Still looking good. Expect lag spikes in the first few days though.

Yeah, but I'm glad that it's optional.

Makes me think of how many things could go wrong with this. #-o

Then there'll probably be people ranting on how their computers are from the stone age and can't handle the new graphics .. if it draws a large enough crowd, I don't want to think about the upcoming lag

Okay let's be honest here.

RSC lag compared to RS2
RSC: Instant response
RS2: Half-second delay
RS2.5: Expect higher ping?

I'm staying on low detail.

What does that mean? What are you talking about?

I think he's trying to say that it's such an improvement from the RSC days and a great achievement for Jagex.

If that is the case, I completely agree. Even if the graphics don't match games like Guild Wars, they are still a big step up from before.

The graphics are coming the graphics are coming!

And they are looking good...

2/5. i'm pretty sure that i'll be able to use the detail mode, but they basically just told me "you're not playing for another week or two because we can't make decent graphics fast enough. try back in a fortnight."

also, after looking at the graphic update the characters now look like cartoon characters. yeah, increase the graphics and increase the pull to underaged children, as usual.
