RuneScape the Third!

[rue]

What would warrant such a massive overhaul that they would re-release Runescape?

Runescape 2 came about mainly when they changed the entire graphics of the game. Very little was changed. IMO, it's not really Runescape 2 at all... It's just an updated form.

Kero made a great point here.

Runescape 3 is undoubtedly possible, on the other hand though JaGex encourages a fair opportunity of game-play to EVERYONE. For example, not every one of us has a $4,000-5,000 desktop which can easily be confused with a server! Which is why as they've mentioned in the past they're trying to be as intuitive and also fair with people in all ends of the computer gaming spectrum as they can. Which proves to be a very difficult and taxing job, if JaGex wanted to hype up their polygons and have incredible graphics they could, without a doubt but soo many players would be missing out on that experience as mentioned above so for now my answer is "yes" to R.S.3. is possible but "no" to it being a go.

If they did make a rs3 my name would be famous LOL

Wouldn't suprise me at all, JaGeX does some pretty weird shit these days.

Yaroow finally sold it, eh?

And JohnK, I thought they'd given up on Stellar Dawn? They're still working on it?

Visit the website. stellardawn.com

They gave up on MechScape, they're still working on Stellar.

MechScape became Stellar Dawn, it was renamed.

Don't think there will be... Runescape has already gone past it's date, and they were working on that new Mechscape if I'm not mistaken

Yep. stellardawn.com - It's coming out very soon.

Mechscape was scrapped and now they are working on Stellar Dawn, but I'm not sure if its the same idea as Mechscape.

OT: I think eventually JaGeX will make an RS3, push away the current RS2 like classic. Thing is, I have a feeling they won't let you transfer in any of the Rares from RS2 to RS3. Just a guess though. If anything I feel that RS3 Would be just another (Huge) graphic update (possibly similar to WoW graphics, or starting to get on their level) to open to another group of people who are graphic lovers (lol, idk), but still able to keep the current graphics, etc. for people who can't play.

Stellar Dawn IS MechScape, the project was just renamed.

Have you played an MMO that came out in the last 2 years? WOW's graphics aren't too great.

I personally don't think they will be making a Runescape 3. However I could see them making RuneScape 3d in the future.

 

[mel1441]

most likely they are going to keep updating rs until its so stupid no one will play thus making rs3 ...

Agreed aaha, this is deffo the truth, unless they go back to before trades, then EVERYONE will come back.

What would be considered rs3? How big of a update or what would need to be changed to consider it as Rs3?
