Carl Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Jagex have changed the whole main page, to a new style. www.runescape.com Including a new background image, too! What do you think of these changes? The image of the shield the man's wearing in this, possible a Dragon Kiteshield?

deskjethp Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 1) It looks like it used to with the centered news stories and no big side column thing +12) It looks like they renamed the whole game because of 1 update -13) They changed it from there are currently 113,459 people playing to 113,459 people currently playing online worldwide - Do they really need the "worldwide"? +04) The big square ad takes up a lot of space and is more intrusive than the old banner on top -15) Is it a little bit shorter so basically the whole thing almost fits into 1.3 screens or is that just me? +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin1 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 My first thought was yuk stop changing the homepage.Edit: Also they changed the background image for the page that you see if you haven't visited the site. Jesus Christ, can't you just admit that you're wrong? :rolleyes:Cause I'm not wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbington Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I just wanna get that toolbar at the top and drag it down to the top of the scroll where it should be.... I hate when people put the toolbars at the very top, I really do. Overall though, not a fan of the new look it highlights even more that the browny colours they went for don't look great, and you cant see enough content on the first pagefull without scrolling. Also that play now button looks far too small for such an important button. French also appears to break the page for me.... text all over the shop! may just be my settings though.

Danqazmlp Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I think the new layout is massively better than the old one. It seems more appealing to the eye, and the updates seem to be the first thing that you see instead of what was on the sidebar on the left. Want to be my friend?

Zepheras Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I think the new layout is massively better than the old one. It seems more appealing to the eye, and the updates seem to be the first thing that you see instead of what was on the sidebar on the left. I've already forgotten how the old layout looked like.... :wall: Looks great, though the fact that RuneScape gets renamed with a sub-theme based on the dungeon for the new skill gives me the impression that future 'skills' might be new raiding spots. Skyscaping Skill + a 100-level Armadylian Tower anyone? :wink: Interestingly, why didn't Jagex include the trailer found on their youtube channel for Dungeoneering? And this time round they're smart enough to take the forums offline, I just saw a "homepage sub-theme looks like WoW ripoff' thread.

thunderlord Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The new banner makes it look like the whole game got a new name.instead of "runescape" it now looks like its called: "runescape, dungeons of daemonheim.It just looks like a second name... I also think the old layout was better, or it is just that it doenst look nice on my pc when it is all centered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 From now on, lets call updates patches and have a "New Patch in xx:xx" come up instead of system update. Jokes aside, I think it looks nice. Also, I would love a Tower of Armadyl styled raid area. Might be rants though because a tower isnt a dungeon. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Carl Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Guess they could put some sort of dungeon in the tower. :P And yes, I agree with one of the comments above. It does look like a second name. "RuneScape: Dungeons of Daemonheim", it's just like a new expansion pack was released...Granted, while you could call a skill that, I don't think it's necessary.

cowmaster187 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 carl i think the shield the guy is wielding is one of those new fancy dungeoneering shields Also it took me 5 minuets to figure out where the button to play was lol ~~~legoman187~~~ Clicky siggy for blogThanks Pendonub for fancy new sigThieving guide[WIP]Loyal player since May 2005 and member since November 2005 and Tifer for many years~~~legoman187~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myu Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The shield is just a kiteshield from the daemonheim dungeon. I thought she was missing a finger, but she was not. Her boobs are uneven. I just see a lot of small things i would have changed on it. If the ad stays there, i might put adblock on rs mainpage again. It's really annoying.

The form it comes in is irrelevant. It does look like a second name though, but at least it's catchy. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really care about the new design, its probably just till the next update anyway.

Racheya Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Eeeeh I don't like it. My eyes aren't drawn straight to the updates anymore, I don't particularly find it appealing.

Piu Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The wizard in the background looks.. well. Noobish. She needs an amulet or something, I'm serious.

D. V. Devnull Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 To some guy complaining about the size of the witch's... well... chest. Aww, you didn't notice my post in that thread :( I'd love to know the QFC for that thread... Sounds like it would be fun stuff to read for any 21+ male... :P @ Myu -- I have to run ABP as part of house policy (or I would never be online) here... I do, however, get how you feel about that advert spot... Had to add a new rule to get rid of it, only to find a spare patch of open space below. :( @ Den -- Yeah, it definitely IS possible that MMG decided he wanted his face modeled into the new home page for an update. LOL :lol: @ TOPIC -- This new homepage reminds me all too much of that ugly Flash-based "BattleOn.com AdventureQuest" game I saw someone else playing... Definitely a bad move on Jagex's part to do this, especially if they want to attract any crowds that hate the other game I mentioned... <_< ~Mr. D. V. "That new page sucks..." Devnull (p.s.: If my post sounds like I'm being a pervert, it isn't intentional... I was trying to comment in as few words as possible which crowd that thread likely appeals to...) and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
