  1. Yes, the only thing I can ever remember they giving us was some art for MechScape (not SD), and then a few pieces of art for SD through the official homepage. And one audio track that was supposedly going to be in MechScape (again, not SD). The fact remains that we haven't from them AT ALL for the the last 1,5 years+. For a short amount of time some years ago there was a leaked MechScape trailer on the web, but it soon got pulled down by Jagex, saying this was a video to be used only internally, and didn't nearly represent what SD/MS looked like. It basically looked like RS in space, pictures of the trailer can be found here:

     

    These are all minuscule or unintentional pieces of information. The rest was all very vague details of what the universe would be like, with 4 playable races. They even claimed they had found a way to get rid of grinding, then later admitted that was only a goal they were working towards but didn't reach, not an actual feature of the game. And with that BS, we were left in the dark for a long time. I haven't checked StellarDawnCentral.com for a long time, but looking through the news it seems that they are rather scarce. The last was in December, where the SD Vice President was quoted in a press release from a completely different site as saying sci-fi fans have a much brighter future. Jagex haven't bothered to keep in touch with the actual fansites at all (or almost, they sent a statement when SD was put on hold).

     

     

    So I have no trouble maintaining that Jagex have handled this in an extraordinarily bad way, losing all interest before driving the game to a standstill. It has failed on all accounts, and I do of course wish Jagex good luck and urge them to keep thinking fresh ideas, but DO NOT make the same mistakes twice.

  2. Ok, this WOULD be perfectly fine if it wasn't for the fact that Jagex hasn't said anything about this. The last we heard from Jagex was that the game was supposed to release Q1 of 2011. That statement must've been somewhere around mid 2010, when the Stellar Dawn website was launched.

    I'm literally APPALED by this, after their initial plan to release "MechScape" in 2008 (I think).

    The development of this game was what led to RSHD back in 2008. The communication here on Jagex' part is absolutely ridiculously bad. After endless years in production and minimal information the least thing they could do was warn us that the initial Q1 2011 release schedule would not be met. Instead we hear, a year later, that the production has been put on hold.

     

    Are you frikking kidding me Jagex? What kind of marketing plan is this? No information and no excuses when you leave us in the dark for years and can't make up your mind about when to release.

    Stick to RuneScape or get your act together!

    Good god!

  3. no clans use citadels because it doesn't give anything useful

     

    As an Admin of a growing 70-man clan with a citadel soon to get into Tier 5, I can say with confidence that this isn't true. Citadels are really quite fun for socially-minded clan.

     

    I don't think that this idea is very good. To paraphrase Yahtzee, the difference between a good long lived game and a game that gets boring quickly is that the former is a responsible parent and makes you work for your creations, and that's what makes it all the more enjoyable. I think that the biggest improvement for the least amount of work would be to make the Woodcutting patches more interesting and a bit faster. Perhaps using agility to move from root to root quicker would be more interesting.

    Thats impressive! I'm administrating the Citadel of our 215 members clan, and we still havent got enough Wood to get T4. 70 people and T5 is very good...

    We are a Slayer clan, so that might have something to do with it, not the biggest skillers...

  4. I don't care what sigil i get, but hopefully it wont take half a year aha. The fc/cc is sigilpl0x. Its 120cb for melee, or 90+ range. its 24/7, anyone who meets the requirement is welcome to come along :)

     

    Btw, whos Animal??

     

    PSS,

    rarer than sigil? :L

     

    After you get/if you get a sigil invest in overloads so you can actually corp correctly

     

    Wow thats a disgusting comment. "Corp correctly"? What the hell has this game's community come to?

  5. Finally an interesting Dev Blog! Im pretty much convinced the storyline that has only been "tounched on in earnest" is the Dragonkin storyline.

     

    The quest seems less finished than I would like it to be considering how long it is since they said it would come out =/ Back in early 2010 we got a postbag saying that "more than one mahjarrat will die this year" or something similar.

  6. Wow, how many MMO's are they up to now? I completely lost count... and isn't the "early 2011" timeframe for Stellar Dawn release about to run out?

     

    Knowing Jagex, this will never happen really. Or it will fail.

    Okay, I love RuneScape, even though I dont play anymore, but Jagex just seems unable to get anything else out that is decent. When was Mechscape supposed to be released? 2007? Here we are 4 years later and looking at what seems to be another delay. That is infinitely ridiculous.

     

    I would MUCH rather they focused all their resources on developing RuneScape, instead of doing all these other side-projects.

  7. The Karamja thing is a new fruit you can buy from a local. Apparently it also saves our planet. :thumbup:

    After eating obscene amounts of that stuff, bought for a tiny sum from the natives, I proceeded to cut down dozens of trees, mined out the natural ore deposits in the area, paid vast amounts of cash to the sawmill to get some planks, killed half a dozen cows for their sinew, smelted a dozen metal bars using unrefined coal, slaughtered 26 yaks for their hair which I spun into rope, then defaced several spots of natural beauty with hidey-holes and rope racks for the convenience of abusing a rare bird species or taking shortcuts through prior undisturbed routes. After all that, I still get that warm fuzzy feeling that I did my part to save the rainforest. icon_thumbsu.gif

    Hahaha! classic ^^

  8. Isn't this similar to the private server syndrome thread? You have seen how valueless gp really is so you can no longer force yourself to grind for it?

     

    No, because I don't find it valueless, I just find old conventional methods of moneymaking now fruitless.

    The "conventional" methods of moneymaking arent fruitless, its obviously the new ones that are. The real winners are the people who, just like in the real world, are producing things, whether its services or products. Staking and flipping is only redistributing wealth that already existed. And just like in the real world, some people win big, either on dishonesty or on playing the market. The RS economy is once again a simulation of the real world economy, and this is a shock to many people, and may make them feel that the petty things they are doing are pointless.

     

     

    BOTTOM LINE: Relax people, the economy is no bigger or smaller than it was before, the already existing money is just being redistributed. Make money the hard way, its much easier.

  9. So just because Jagex makes a event where they take us to hunt Revs, it's "Well done, Jagex"? That's not fun a event to me. I can and HAVE done that by my own. And i have owned 12 Revs at ONE Star at highest wildy, and waited for more to arrive...

     

    The least admistrators of Runescape can do is make a unique event, not something we could do by ourself. For example spawning LOADS revs in 4 spots in Wilderness. Like how "Hati" wolf has 3 spawns.

     

    And make the spawns come in "waves" like Fight cave. Building up the number of revs as u go higher.

    NOW THAT'S A EVENT.

    AN event.

  10. Whatever happened to quality control...? The first article is basically a retelling of all the conspiracy theories the community believe Jagex is cooking up in their oh so secretive Jagex castle. I don't need to hear that. Where is the reflection on the subject, maybe you could look back to 2007 and find out whats changed since then, find out how the community, Jagex or the game has changed. Get some valuable information in there. Thats what would make me bother to read these times articles again, which I now do very rarely.

  11. If they did a trailer of the actual grinding this game has, it'd be pretty boring. 3 minutes of some guy chopping a tree.

    Nobody's been saying that, but look at the dungeoneering trailer. It's impressive and actually talks about content in the game.

     

    This "trailer" is just a random animation about some fantasy scenario with nothing whatsoever to do with runescape.

    It has to do with RS... no, we havent seen that exact scene before, but the signature heroes are there, and the graphics are close to RS graphics. The beast could also be the Corp Beast.

  12. it makes it look like a 'Fable-esque' RPG

    How, exactly?

     

    And CGI trailers from games like WoW look so and so much better.

    This isnt a full on CGI trailer though.... with a few enhancements thats basically the graphics of RS now.... think about it. Skyboxes and improved fire is known to be coming, and then the only thing I can see that is left is better looking trees and faces. Its not far from the truth.

  13. Wow, they keep updating this store and it just gets crappier and crappier. What is the deal with this?

    A bunch of t-shirts, thats it? Surely cant be, I do hope their store isnt fully functional yet. The store from 2 versions ago was the only good one. And what is with listing one option for every single variation of the t-shirts? Drop down menus or something would surely be better?

    And the front page, wtf? There isnt one, just a bunch of t-shirts.

     

    This is ridiculous. Are you serious Jagex? You need new commercial people, and you need to spend less time updating your store. The reason people dont buy stuff from it is not that its bad, although it is bad now, its because they dont want to commit social suicide.

     

    And I never complain about Jagex, I seriously love them, but this is bullcrap on an epic scale...

     

    In summary...... WTF?!

  14. So . . . I suppose nothing happens when you complete floor 60? <_<

     

    EDIT:

     

    So I just watched a video of a team fighting Kal'Ger (5:5 large). WOW he's nuts. The highest hit I saw in the video was slightly over 900, and he uses all three combat styles. My favorite part is that he switches between gigantic versions of various t11 weapons. I think the order was as follows:

     

    Fists

    Primal Longsword

    Celestial Staff

    Primal 2h

    Sagittarian Shortbow

    Primal maul

     

    The team fighting him was utterly destroyed. There was a death every 10 seconds or so, L.

    Link please?
