plya Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey i was just thinking and how big can runescape get? I remember when runescape was just a little game and now loads of people are playing it, do you think one day it might go onto a console or something like that? What do you think the graphics could get to? would the game be played still on the pc? Personally i think once day runescape will move off the pc and get into a console where you can play online like xbox live or something.. it would be way better in terms of graphics etc. What do you think?

24_7_ko Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Until all the names are taken tbh.. and they would need more servers, to increase the amount of letters in a name.. Runescape in the year 3000, Create your account Name : 1-386 letters, all names with 1-385letters taken, chosen name.. (Cant be bothered to write 385 a's :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin1834 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 i think it would be awesome if they made a download with awesome graphics like the latest games and maybe one day a fps version! one thing i think they already have to do is up the high scores limit to like 2 million instead of 1 mill! and also they will need more worlds! lol imagine waiting like half an hour just to get into a world! offtopic: i also think rs needs a all pking world!! everywhere is wildy!! muahaha \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plya Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 yea they would definitely need mroe servers and worlds to hold all the people and 2million... Meh.. i think thats to low lol if runescape were to get onto a console some day it would be HUGE! Offtopic: Lol the all pking world sounds sweet.. but i think they would need at least oen safe spot in that world or a couple..

xavier_mo_mo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Nope, RuneScape uses Java a few basic program where RuneScape has found ways to max it out. There is no other Java game with the detail or size that RuneScape has. Jagex have stated they will only be a fully functional online game, no cds to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plya Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 xavier runescape is using java at the moment but later someday they could switch it over to something else that can make the game run better and look better. Also has any 1 read this article? Runescape developer Jagex has revealed a console version of its browser-based fantasy MMO is something it keeps considering, the arrival of Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 making such more tempting than ever before. "It's certainly more interesting with the current generation of consoles of course because they're far more internet-connected than the previous generation and it just wasn't worth looking at", the game's creator Andrew Gower told CVG recently. "But with the PS3 and Xbox 360 and the Wii, it's much more tempting, I have to say". Talking about PS3 specifically, Gower said that Jagex could probably get Runescape running on the machine right now, adding overall that "Technically porting the game to different platforms isn't a huge amount of work." However, he explained the reason the developer's "slightly reluctant" to bring the MMO to too many different platforms "is because the more platforms that we're on, the more we have to update in parallel and that would slow us down." "We've always tried to be a very agile company whereby if the players say they want something, or there's something not quite right, we'll fix it there and then", Gower said. "We're loath to lose the rapid response... that we've got at the moment, and the more platforms we go to the more than happens, so it's a bit of a trade off." Gower said there was nothing he could talk about at the moment regarding actual plans to bring Runescape to console. The game, which consists of both free and subscription versions, recently hit one million subscribers and boasts over 5 million active players. After i read this article i posted this up... So there is a chance it will go on a console Visit TipRs for Rs Tips such as Money Making Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuriousmonkey Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I like runescape because of the poor graphics. I hate it when they do some graphic updates. I preferred the cruder animations. It doesn't need to get flashier. it's strength currently is that it isn't flashy and you can play it anywhere. Once you start pooring in the graphics this will end. And I will stop to play it because I do not really feel that it is necessary to buy the latest computer hardware or console to play a game. Gameplay is everything. Image is nothing.

Master_Smither Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I play the game because it's basic and full of game play not because it's got uber pwnage graphics. I hated when they made the major over haul and made the interface totally different. Heck i even loved RSC because it was fun and people where nice. But it might go console but then you'll get a whole different group of players mainly console game addicts. But i'm not sure if that article is a valid source or not.

Taito2004 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Honestly, I think doing that, would be the worst thing they did, since having Runescape on miniclip. 92/99 Fishing | 119/120 Combat | 92/99 Firemaking | 94/99 Fletching | 1878/1900 Total | 85/85 Slayer | 80/80 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mememe513 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 It could get pretty big, especially since not all people use the RuneScape Website.

Ginger_Warrior Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Adding RuneScape to MiniClip may not have been the best thing for RS2, but we have to consider that the Gowers had absolutely no experience of dealing with customers and gamers on this scale before, and IMO, the experience with MiniClip has provided those two with skills that will prove invaluable for RS or whatever projects they decide to work on in the future. You can certainly tell they're learning how to deal with disruptive gamers and their requests - ignore them. Therefore, MiniClip has inadvertently helped Jagex in more ways than we'll ever know. As for the size of RS? Well, I think Jagex are starting to realise that the pool of new players theyve relied on for so long is eventually starting to run dry. With this in mind, they're having to improve some of the more rushed updates (such as PC) and take more time with them. I think this is representative of the fact RS isn't gonna get much bigger, and the explosion of new gamers is starting to cool down. Therefore, in order to increase, Jagex is having to release high quality updates. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_way2go Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I think I've got a realistic vision on the future of rs. Jagex will continue to get the fullest graphics/performance out of Java.More graphical updates to existing monsters and areas. Runescape won't be ported to another platform. I expect Jagex to come out with a new (online) game within 5 years from, not a MMORPG. Runescape won't be affected much by this imo. The German version of runescape will get more attention and get more servers. (most people don't even know it exists) Another language might also be released. Maybe dutch, french or even japanese/chinese (doubtful). I can see the number of accounts doubled within 5 years and having 400k or 500k users online at peak times compared to 200k-250k now. Atleast one to three skills will be released in this period. I'm thinking about summoning due to the fact Jagex has been working on that in RSC but the rs engine caused a problem. This could be solved by now. Instead of a new skill there may also be a large update to an existing skill (mining?).
