Online Gaming


WoW Joins Rs.

Yes that correct 13 Blizzard employers have teamed up
with the jagex crew in u.k's Cambridge the 13 Game
desginers have packed there bags and leaving Blizzard
13 employers out.

Found this very old Mag I had Back on 07 (B4 I even Played Runescape) It has Xbox and Nintendo Stuff in it... But This Little section on Online Gaming And This Is word for word...

[JuhoJ]

Looks like we now know where all the WOW features are coming now

 

[Kristian4th]

I was just about to say something about the similarities which are making runescape more like wow, would be cool if it were true, though.

 

[Jaysive]

So that's why RS is looking more like WoW..

 

[Applied]

Most of runescape's item names come from WoW.

 

[Tucking Fypo]

Wow, I hope runescape doesn't turn in to wow.

There was a thread (which I think was posted on here) that had a link for a youtube video, interviewing one of the lead guys at Jagex. While he was talking, the video showed brief glimpses of one of the computer screens, and on it was WOW.

What Blis is stating might indeed be true, but it's pretty irrelevant, because we already have seen Jagex borrow ideas here and there.

This was back in '07, didn't take them 3 years to implement WoW-like features.

IE higher hitpoints (although it's still no where near WoW) and TAB to respond (Although you cannot scroll through names, only the last one to talk to you).

It's not a big deal - nothings happening.
