01-Oct-2007: Development Diary-Content team + KDB Wallpaper

Featured Replies

 

1 October 2007 - Development Diary: Content Team

 

 

 

Today, we've released the fourth Development Diary. This diary is revisiting the work of the RuneScape Content team in more detail, but not necessarily in the way you might have been expecting...

 

 

 

This diary takes a look behind some of the tough decisions we have to make when developing RuneScape, particularly when it comes to improving old content. The focus is very much on the Shop Improvement and tackles the difficulties we have in striking the balance between making the game better, ironing out problems AND keeping players happy.

 

 

 

We hope you enjoy learning more about the inner-workings of Jagex and RuneScape.

1 October 2007 - King Black Dragon Wallpaper

 

 

 

A few weeks ago we asked you to vote in a Guaranteed Content poll for the next wallpaper to be created by our artists. Over one hundred thousand of you cast your votes, and it was a pretty close call! "The Taming of Jad" came a close second, but a certain Black Dragon, proving he's still the King, came out on top.

 

 

 

38% of you voted for "Triple Trouble" - three warriors facing off against the mighty King Black Dragon. We're very pleased to announce the wallpaper has been created; fangs sharpened to perfection and eyes glistening evilly. Head on over to the Downloads section to check out this fantastic piece of artwork. While you're there, why not have a browse of the rest of the wallpapers?

 

 

 

We would like to thank all of you that voted. Those of you who do vote in our polls are making a definite difference to the game and what we produce for it. The more 'fun' polls are obviously there for you to enjoy, but all other polls really help us to understand what you want from RuneScape.

 

 

 

Look out for more great wallpapers in the Downloads section in future; your ideas and the poll results have given us plenty of inspiration.

What is that in the KBD's mouth..? Looks like a huge guantlet or something.. :-s

 

 

 

An unlimited stock of Vials in Ardougne would be great! ::'

What's the point of a collection if it can be easily acquired?

 

 

 

OT: I like the new shops idea, it'll help F2P general shops, which are totally full most of the time, with new item spots (especially Varrock). It'll stop macroers and it'll make shops as what they're intended to be. Lovely!

When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.

All skills 80+

Yeah I think that has to be a dragon plate, and the tabs on shop, very similar to the tab banking idea maybe that's on it was =P~

 

 

 

It sure looks like a D Long to me not a scimmy..

It's not a dragon plate, look carefully at the body and you can see the rings for the chainmail.

 

 

 

I won't have to stand around anymore waiting for items to appear in the new shops. :)

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

 

-Note, is he wearing dragon platebody?

 

 

 

i thought so too =P

Siggy By...me! ^^

If you've got any tips on sig making, photoshop in general, or a recommendation on a good DSLR to get me started, pm me =]

The cape of legends, it gets glorified again! :o

"300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin. They fight for honor, glory and new content sacrificing themselves so that their game may live on. This is Madness! This Is JAGEEEX!"

The Dragon Chain has nothing on its arms this covers the arms fully :-k

 

 

 

Its like the Dragon Chain/Plate Body..

 

 

 

It does have chain mail but also plate on the arms :-s Confused..

Ok, next question- Is that a magic longbow? :P

 

 

 

what's your point?

 

 

 

:-s ...well, is it?

 

 

 

yes it is..

I see, thank-you...

you're very welcome.

 

 

 

 

 

I thought you meant that question as in;

 

 

 

'OMG IT@S A MAGIC LONGBOW'

 

 

 

failing to realise they're already out, seeing as the posts above you were speculating about a dragon platebody.

 

 

 

goodnight ::' .

In the "Triple Trouble" wallpaper everything is from the game and the

 

warrior looks like he is wearing a Dragon Plate.

 

 

 

Btw, the wallpaper looks great! =P~

Owwww i can't see it because of a big red x in a box, anyone got any ideas why?
