Eastern Lands: Coming soon?

[Misterknowitall]

Perhaps we go so far east we get back to the Elf Lands O.o :?

 

 

 

 

 

Hey! Everybody knows the world is flat! :twisted:

 

 

 

So the water goes SOMEWHERE.

Edit: Maybe the water leads to Mudkip City.

 

 

 

It goes to the same place dropped items that disappear, threads on page 51, and my hellcat I accidentally shooed away went. Heaven.

I think twiley kinda proved a point he didn't mean too there.

 

 

 

Look at that second wallpaper segment, not one person would argue against that being mystic robes

 

Or the foreground guy in this evil tree wallpaper everyone accepts its the updated d plate and d skirt

 

Or the barrows brothers wallpaper.

 

 

 

Yet in that wall paper the mystic robes look nothing like in-game ones

 

The foreground guys armour looks nothing like any d armour I've seen

 

The barrows brothers wall paper none of them look especially like their in-game counterparts

 

 

 

All in all it just mounts up to her wearing generic robes that an artist has created losely based on things like elidns robes, vestments and mystic robes but tweaked to look good.

 

 

 

Equally no her axe handle doesn't have the flared end, but nore doe axes in-game or the axe of the guy in the background and she's holding it exactly like the background guy is holding his.

 

And as for metallic it could eaisly be an artistic representation of the daxe or inferno adeze but if you look closely the end near her hands is clearly brown like wood, in fact the brown stretches up the edges of most of what we can see, without any clear marking to show a handle ending, while the central area is whited out in the same tones as all the other moonlight edges in the image.

 

 

 

All in all the difference between artwork and game and the clues the colourings etc give I highly doubt that this is anything more than artistic license creating an outfit that isn't quite like the in-game version and a will for the eastern lands causing a moon struck hatchet with the head hidden to become a sword

 

 

 

So far, ALL artwork displayed armour that actually exists in-game.

 

 

 

The guy in the front is wearing full Karil's, not Dragon Platebody. The guy in the back looks to be wearing full Dharok's. Both of them with a rune axe.

Pssst look at front guys shoulder where moonlight hit it is red, clearly dragon.

 

 

 

Also you have more proved my point than anything.

 

 

 

so far all artwork has portrayed in-game armour

 

But so far all the artwork doesn't look 100% the same as the in-game equivalents

 

 

 

The girls clearly has a skillcape and her robes look similar to eldinis, vestments and mystic but not exactly the same.

 

 

 

Since the artwork has ALWAYS depicted in-game armour logically the robes are in-game

 

The artwork versions have NEVER looked exactly the same as in-game and the robes look similar to various in-games robes therefore logically they ARE them

 

 

 

Just people's over-active imagination

My hair also gives a red shine when the sun is shining on it, yet I'm not a redhead. It's the way light breaks when hitting an object.

 

 

 

And armour is always perfectly distinguishable. They may add a bit of ornaments on first sight, but it always is. Never: 'a bit of this and a bit of that'.

 

Tell me one set of artwork that shows armour that doesn't resemble their in-game counterpart. Except for the 6 brothers wallpaper, where it was blatantly obvious anyway.

Castlewars wallpaper - bar an odd object or 2 nothing particularly looks like any in-game armours

 

 

 

KBD triple trouble - Mystic robes don;t look remotely like they do in-game and the boots don't exist. The ranger torso and arm wear doesn't resemble any in-game items. The meleers weapon isn't as curved as a d scim, isn't as str8 as a d long and isn't as big as a d2h.

 

 

 

Void knight - looks nothing like in-game equivilants

Yeah, you know the word 'spaceship'? Ships can't sail without water right?

I don't think we should be sure of that the Eastern Lands will come soon just because a girl in one of the wallpapers wears something we can't recognise...

Since our graphical update earlier in the year, weve been playing around with a variety of new haircuts for the game. Weve now gathered around 20 new styles and will be releasing them during December to the free and members games. These new hairdos include some rather interesting styles inspired by AkHaranu, a visitor from the unexplored eastern realms. Perhaps next year will unearth more fashions from these interesting folk? Only time will tell...

[Mr_Adam]

Has anyone pointed out that she has chopsticks in her hair?

 

 

 

Also, I doubt her weapon is an axe. The handle is too skinny and the moonlight reflects off of the blade-half.

 

 

 

The man in the back isn't wearing Dharok's, the helm has a tail on top, not a [bleep]e. His armor looks more like, well, just basic.

 

 

 

The man up front could be wearing updated dragon plate/skirt.

 

 

 

Lastly, the woman's face looks more as if it's style of painting was more Asian influenced, but that could just be because she's smaller.

 

 

 

My two cents.

[Unknown_Warrior]

I'm 100% certain the front dude is wearing Karil's.

 

 

 

The [bleep]es are exactly like Karil's and the legpiece is as well. The skirt + upperleg black, lowerleg plate armoured.

That was my 1st thought

[Shyla]

That hairstyle's called "pinned up" or something like that.

[da_brainiacjr]

Whoever said the armour was dragon plate must not have ever seen dragon armor nor karils. That armor is definately karils. But staying on topic, the woman in the center has eastern hair-do, also robes could be eastern, but the weapon is definitely an axe. Everyone else has an axe also. Not putting the idea of eastern lands out of the way, i really want it to happen, its just that the weapon she is holding is an axe. See how the body of the so called "blade" is curved and rounded. this is evidence of an axe. Also, light does not only reflect off of metal. Have you ever seen light reflect of a polished wood surface? Whoever said that this was evidence of metal must not have very good clean tables in his house.

[Caromon]

The REAL controversy is that the axe the front guy is holding has a screw in it... we only have nails not screws!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

I really hope the eastern lands comes out that would be really neat.

well then i guess we can expect some new type of axe to come out...because it isnt any axe we curently have...

 

 

 

and yes that is a screw! now where is the screwdriver!

 

 

 

~edit~

 

also the swing motion is completely wrong for an axe...

[occ51]

Maybe the weapon's not an axe, nor a katana, i'm guessing it's a machete.

[Aresgodowar]

that it could. After sleeping on it i realized that it might make more sense if it was the weapon you made in devious minds,

[Mr_Adam]

[hide=Large Picture][/hide]

 

 

 

It's not an axe she's holding. Judging by the way it's held, the speed-light-effect (...like, after you swing something) and the fact that she very cleanly cut off a tree limb with that kind of stance sells it, at least to me.

 

 

 

I doubt it's a machete, because machetes would have to be thicker and one handed (that's in general, not just in Runescape)

[Den]

I have a few pointers towards why I think its not an axe.

 

 

 

1) The Handle

 

If you look closely at the part under her hands, and compare it to over her hands, what do you see?

 

Both of the other axes in the picture are wider on the side with no head.

 

The object she is holding has the same wideness under and over her hands.

 

 

 

2) The chopped roots infront of her

 

You can see her swinging her wielded object down from the side of the helmet character, slashing the roots and carrying the weapon up to the side of the [bleep]ed armor character.

 

You can see this from the side the top of the roots are bending towards and how her head is turning a little away from the blade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a katana if anyone wants to compare her katana to this one.

 

 

 

[Jenove]

kewl maybe Ill be able to wear a kimono!

[SlayerMalk]

we need western lands

[Trollface]

I'm really looking forward for new lands to explore.

[Artemis_42]

Well, it's fairly obvious that she is designed in an eastern style. It's also obvious that she isn't holding a normal axe, although I'm not convinced that it is a katana. However I doubt that this is hinting at any update in the near future. Jagex hints as future pieces of content all the time in various forms yet a lot of these take many months or years to be released.

 

 

 

Don't get your hopes up.
