16 May 2008 - An Image of the Not-Too-Distant Future

In last week's Image of the Future newspost, we revealed our secret plan for RuneScape: a complete graphical rework. We were sneaky and held back a little information, however: namely, when you can expect these updates.

Drum-roll, please... You will have access to all of these updates within a couple of months! There really isn't much time to wait. If you can't wait for more details on the update, a new Development Diary is coming later this month.

We plan to keep improving RuneScape's graphics in the future, so we would encourage you to 'Send us your Specs', if you have not already.

Finally, we can reveal another image of the future...

Couple months eh? So statistically it would be on July 16th/17th, but I doubt it. I give it a 5/5 since I have anticipated this for several months.

I thought it would be MUCH longer.

6/5.

Couple of months is still a little vague but it's certainly getting a lot closer. So good news.

I wanna see what they do to Castle Wars and Grand Exchange area.

This picture looks even better than the last. Strange to admit it, but Jagex has redeemed themselves, in my eyes.

It will be based on a grid, this will just be a new detail, like low, high and the new one like...extra high?

I too am surprised at their announcement that it'll be coming out shortly. Wonder once the graphics are "up to par" with some of the other popular MMORPG's (WoW, Guild Wars, etc) if they'll start advertising on TV.

Granted, I don't want a bunch of young brats taking over, but I'd still like for Jagex to keep the community growing strong. This won't make up for pking (the last major messup they did imo) but it's definately making me look forward to the next few months. I just hope they don't mess up the servers with massive lag for everyone..

It looks good but I'll be away when it comes out

If they keep their promise of a couple months

It looks very cool and peaceful

I am afraid that it might make more lag, though.

Hopefully it won't cause lag, hopefully it'll come out when they said it will. Looking good though

they mentioned fullscreen in the previous topic like this .. probably won't use it though. 5/5
