RuneScape HD

[Ice wolf]

RuneScape just released its high definition version of the game for free players, and it is quite and improvement.

Here is a comparison of an old quality face with a new quality face:

You can read more about the graphical improvements in these development diaries.
A New Look at RuneScape: Part 1
A New Look at RuneScape: Part 2

There is a fullscreen mode along with the new graphics, but it is still members-only.

I hope everyone investigates these new graphics. I, myself, quit RuneScape a while ago, but I will be playing some throughout the day.

Re: RuneScape HD

Wow, and they're still doing this in Java?

I am insanely impressed.

Re: RuneScape HD

I quit too. I played the new graphics for a little, it was okay. I gave my account to my brother who is getting me some skills to 99.

Re: RuneScape HD

This is my opinion.

RSC : Amazing

RS2 : Alright

RS2 HD : Disgusting

Re: RuneScape HD

I prefer Runescape Classic graphics. x)

But really, how long does it take to load now?

Re: RuneScape HD

I don't understand why people complain about the graphics. This game is based on the gameplay, not how good you look during the gameplay...

Now, while playing RS, it's just going to be laggier for me. YAY ;_;

Re: RuneScape HD

Makes me want to play again to see how graphics-wise RSHD is. I shouldn't have any problems running it, even though I got crappy Intel graphics cards and all that ****.

Re: RuneScape HD

I do agree that RS is stupid. WoW FTW!

Re: RuneScape HD

I don't think you guys realize how substantial this is.

This is Sun Java we're talking here. It's a rudimentary web application software. They're pushing this software to places where the original creators never even dreamed of.

Which would be awesome if it weren't for it being made by Jagex.
The creator is a moron, and it hasn't changed a great amount since it came out.

Re: RuneScape HD

It seems as if they are taking it one step at a time. First classic then then RS2 now HD, next might possibly be close to WoW graphics.... ehh who knows.
