June 19, 200818 yr i was thinking about how amazing the new details would be when i thought of something, with the new graphic details coming in soon some poorer people will not be able to afford a computer with the right system requiraments. Now isn't the reason jagex does not sell gold on the main website that they want to give everyone a fair chance never mind there rl background. If they do don't have full screen or super detail etc, then they will not be able to get as good chance as other people just because of little things like full screen mode allowing you to see more of map so being able to more people in bh for example and i could go on for a long time with the advantages of having more screen space and being able to see more clearly. edit: I'm not saying that rwt should be allowed I'm just pointing out that jagex make such a big deal about being fair on rl backgrounds then make this yes I've edited the title for the simpler of people Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide]

June 19, 200818 yr Because rich people IRL that have no life would be at the top of the Hiscores. Not the people who love the game and play it fair. he knows that, he's just saying that the full screen mode is causing the same thing to happen. But really, that makes no sense, full-screen is more of a "fun improvement" then actually making it easier to play certain aspects of the game. And well, after all the trouble they went through to get rid of most of the RWT'ing they really aren't going to just bring it back xD I'm Finally 99 mage ^^ (and cooking...) :PSilver24-7 -

June 19, 200818 yr Bahaha. What a question. It would mean unfair upper hands that some could have, and others couldn't, no matter what happens. Having high system reqs isn't unfair. We all play Optional High Detail... it's not stopping players with 64 megs of ram on a 300 GHz computer from being able to play at all. It's optional, meaning, an option for people with better computers. There's no advantage there. Think of it this way: There's a low detailed mode to go with for people with lesser computers.
June 19, 200818 yr If they do don't have full screen or super detail etc, then they will not be able to get as good chance as other people just because of little things like full screen mode allowing you to see more of map so being able to more people in bh for example and i could go on for a long time with the advantages of having more screen space and being able to see more clearly. That is such a slight difference I don't see how you could compare it to RWT. You're comparing having a slightly longer view range in BH to being able to buy half of the skills in the game and having access to any piece of armor they like. No comparison.

Really.. such a small difference that it's incomparable to allowing RWT and not even worth considering IMO.
June 19, 200818 yr but the morals are the same : getting an advantage because of rl background Wrong. There's no more advantage there than there would be for, say, getting a better night's sleep than everyone else. Where's the Handicapper General when you need her? We need to smash some computers that are better than ours. :evil:
June 19, 200818 yr Who said that full screen is only available with super detail? Its not like jagex are forcing people to buy better computer components just because they are releasing a new OPTIONAL detail mode.
June 19, 200818 yr Did Jagex say the horizon would be further away? I don't think so, I think it'll be just the 15? squares it is now, but whit a nice fade effect maybe :roll:. Well it has always been an advantage for richer people, mostly they don't have to work so hard in their real life so they should have more spare time to play silly games :lol:.

No comparison. but the morals are the same : getting an advantage because of rl background Not an in-game advantage, which benefits your account. The draw distance has not been adjusted, it just looks better. I repeat, ultra-fullscreen-detail mode will not give your account an in-game advantage. It will just be a more enjoyable experience, unlike allowing RWTing, which would detract from the experience. The only exception to this is p2p, and I really don't think that we want to get into that debate. By the way, is it me, or does anyone find purposely included 'shock titles' which convinces you to enter the thread to flame, which actually doesn't live up to the title at all, really annoying? ~ W ~
June 19, 200818 yr Can anyone point out where it says that fullscreen will only be available to the new detail mode? Fullscreen, I think, will just have everything bigger, to fit the whole screen. Comparing something currently unknown to something that every player on these forums hate really isn't a good way to start a thread, I might add. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr
June 19, 200818 yr Whether or not the new graphics will give players who can use them an advantage is debatable. They may simply have a more pleasing game experience. The bigger problem with RWT was not that players who could afford to buy items and money had an advantage over other players (though they certainly did), it was the other problems that RWT caused like the issues with stolen credit cards. I remember reading an interview with a Runescape developer who likened the situation to prostitution - the crime that comes along with it is worse than the original problem.

Mmm, good analogy, and it's right. I bet that RWTing wouldn't have been tackled like this if it didn't threaten Jagex's main income (Runescape membership via credit card). ~ W ~
June 19, 200818 yr but if they cant afford the new computer then they are at a dissanvadgtage They have no in game advantage, just the advantage of seeing a smoother side of the game. Its like people with breadbond dont lag as much as people with dial up.

June 19, 200818 yr How is this different than the advantages people already have because they are richer in real life? People buy broadband with real life money - Better connection - easier BH People buy a laser mouse with real life money - Accurate mouse - easier BH People buy members with real life money - self explanitory I don't think 1-2 squares is worth inducing the economy with down syndrome by allowing RWT.
June 19, 200818 yr From the looks of the screenshots, It seems that everything is more zoomed in rather than having a larger field of view. The graphics update just makes things prettier, it doesn't give an advantage to people. It's like low detail vs. high detail, except now it's like high detail vs. super high detail. Both are the same game, it's just that they look different.

No comparison. but the morals are the same : getting an advantage because of rl background How do you know there will be more viewing field? You dont. From the screenshot, it barely looks that way. The new detail isnt even out, so you cant go comparing apples and oranges. Ooh, so you can see a few extra spaces in BH, thats NOTHING compared to buying / selling 3rd age armor. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th
June 19, 200818 yr Full-screen will not allow you to see more of the map. It's just an enlarged version of what we see right now. Thanks Draynor.net!
June 19, 200818 yr 1. Full screen doesnt increase what you can see, Just the proportions. 2. How would higher detail help in the slightest with anything 3. The requirements arnt even that high, A computer with those resquirements at most would be £300
