lavirylime Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Someone probably already beat me to it but... "Oh, that'll never happen, it's a Javascript-based game." You made the programmer in me vomit.

EAGamesFreak Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 if runescape were an offline game, graphics would be a must, but since its an mmorpg, it really needs to the graphics it has now so those w/ slow internet dont slow us w/ fast internet down... i think runescape is fine just the way it is. though they could add a little variety to everything... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakitsym_Rose Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 A ONE-TIME payment? I'd buy it for 100$ Probably. I don't have anything better to spend my money on. For the continual service of what we receive it's easily worth a one-time payment of 100$ considering most of us have spent more on members since we joined TIF. I'm not sure if I'd like the non-java-based graphics. I think they really add to the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollerz Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Wow, I can imagine the abyss! =P~ That'd be great, but I wouldn't pay more than ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã10 a month because WoW is ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã7.70 and the only difference would be the gameplay.

NinjaChicken Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Well i would also have to buy a new graphics card which would cost a lot of money and paying for membership would also cost more. If they did that they might decide to take away the f2p version :ohnoes: [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sycosis5 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 the answer to all those questions is no 1-Im not forking over ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã50 for this game might aswell get wow 2-I would hate it if it was like wow because there is no tutorial your just dumped on an island and have to figure it out yourself 3-The bad graphics make rs easier to undertand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabbage_Boii Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 when you think alot of you have been members for years, so when you think of a ONE TIME only fee of 20$...it isnt alot. :roll: Let your yellow mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob9999 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Assuming that my PC could run it much the same as it can run the current RS (no difference to the amount of lag I recieve, frame rate dips the same as usual etc) then I'd be glad to pay so long as I could see some screenshots before I coughed up. Who knows who talented Jagex's staff are when it comes to high poly models and hig resolution textures, also would they be adding a more advanced physics engine etc. My Blog To 87 Construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bludragon124 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Definitely. If Runescape had the kind of graphics WoW had, nobody would play WoW anymore. I would buy the game for certain.

warren211 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Lol, after everyone ranted about the graphical updates to cities things would be a disaster. "I can't tell my swords apart! I have to waste 2 seconds right clicking them!" "I can't tell which cities are which!" etc... [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

I hate Javascript, I remember making a website for an assignment in college than they made me put some Javascript in, completely uglified it. Anyway, the majority of the RS community doesn't know the difference between Java and Javascript, most people only know the consumer side to computing, sad but true.

microvenator Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 What about all those unfortunate people who retreat to RS when Wow and other graphics intense games are giving them no end of trouble? RS provides a valuable service the way it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowmasta13 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 The initial cost is just half of it....it's the $15 a month for supporting those graphics that puts me off games like WoW. Besides, I like the graphics of RS, some some strange reason. Gameplay > Graphics, that's what I always say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffoo Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think the graphics are great considering what it is. Going for better graphics, you'd lose your ability to access it from anywhere (probably won't be able to install it on every machine you want to use). For me, I'm too cheap to pay for members #-o , so why would I pay for better graphics :?: :?: WARNING: Prone to ramble ... but you probably already know that!1% F2P : 99% RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestrana Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I would stop playing at that point because the hi-spec graphics would mean I'll need to get myself a new computer and getting a new computer to play the latest and greatest game isn't a justifiable expense. Plus, the advantage of RuneScape's system requirements is that you only need an Internet connection and an up-to-date Java Run-Time Environment and you can log on wherever you want.

Tsar Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Maybe. If it was like NWN2, with RS depth and gameplay, while being completely online, I'd fork out the money to play it. Of course I'd need to buy a new computer also, as my laptop doesn't even run the single-player Neverwinter Nights 2. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meb Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I wouldn't; chopping trees for days doesn't become more interesting in high def graphics. Now you can read forums and do other things, but I don't think browsing forums and quickly switching back to a 3GHz game is recommendable. Also, the RS combat system sucks compared to the other games so it will get a lot of competition from Wow and the like. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Elessar3019 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Definitely. If Runescape had the kind of graphics WoW had, nobody would play WoW anymore. I would buy the game for certain. This is exactly why I made this thread. I have several friends who base the excellence of a game on the graphics it has. Needless to say, they play World of Warcraft. Thus, if RS were able to rival WoW as far as graphics go, we would have tons more players. perfect grammar is one thing, typing like a drugged monkey and enjoying it is anotherAMEN!

desipardesi Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Less artwork and better gameplay make Runescape a good game. I prefer low detail gameplay to excessive flashing detail. If I want scenery, I'd just go outside. # 1101 to 99 range on 12-18-0585 slayer on 12-18-05 with combat at 102; retired from members since Feb 06.Back since June 07. 2000+ total.
