Mod Mark really wants to make in-game shops useful

FINALLY.

 

Don't get your hopes up, he said something to the effect that it is his eternal quest to find a way to do it.

 

Quick, write him up a quest guide!

"Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art?

Out of curiosity, what was this years' Runefest exclusive item? There was the Banner, Hood then Cape in previous years.

Home teleport animation, where you ride away with the runefest dragon mascot.

What I learned from watching the Runefest Stream (granted, I didn't watch it all, but I am watching the rest of it):

 

it never ceases to amaze me how much the OSRS developmental manages to do with such little resources and manpower, while how little the RS3 seems to be doing with such vast resources and manpower; the RS3 team always seems like they're coasting along with no plans whatsoever. Despite the fact that the OSRS team is so small and limited they seemed to have all sorts of intricate plans for the future. The RS3 team, on the other hand, in recent Q and A's and what not, seemed to be mostly without any concrete plans for the future, and a lot of "we might think about it", or "we don't have the resources to do that".

 

A shame. And I say this as someone who does not play OSRS and has no plans of ever doing so.

Thing is, the OSRS team can cut out a lot of things the RS3 team can't because its just simpler. The textures and graphics are much simpler, they don't have the more intricate music, the playerbase isn't as demanding about weekly updates. 

 

They can also have a lot bigger and more coherent plan because they only really have a few projects at once. Whereas RS3 is trying to shuffle around a lot of stuff.

Yes this is true, but at the same time a lot can be said for how much more complicated it must be to work in the RS3 development environment. You also hear a lot about running out of time in their graphics allotment or about how they don't have the graphics budget for that. 

 

RS3 is just bigger, and has so many more things to worry about breaking when you are developing something.

 

 

Also, here is an official summary of all the things from Mark's talk: http://services.runescape.com/m=news/runefests-big-reveals?jptg=ia&jptv=community_news

I just watched the Meet the Maker's session (the Elf City one and the PVM one). I have to say the Elf City team of J-Mods, well, firstly, I didn't know most of them prior to this; so a lot of unfamiliar faces. But still, they seemed nice, and they seemed dedicated to the project and seemed to know their stuff and excited for it. And they seemed to have worked very hard and obviously have various interesting plans. So I will give them props for that. I gained a new found appreciation for Mod Stacey and the rest of the team who was up to this point unknown to me.

 

The Ninja team and PVM team though, still seem very complacent, lazy and unresponsive to player demands/needs. A shame.
