Sy_Accursed Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 just because they have never done a content update on a satuday doesnt mean it cant be done. Maybe its that big of a deal they want to release it at peak time in the week. 1) Making servers go down in peak times i never a good plan.2) Jagex mostly works normal office hours, 9-5 monday - friday. I don't see them dragging all the devs, team heads etc on a saturday to do an update. Especially not at 9pm at night, any last minute delays or bugs would see them working ridculously late.

SwreeTak Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 See the future made me think Fable 2. O well. I'm guessing that players can go to any of those cities on that day to receive some sort of trailer showing some future updates? Not really sure :blink: After having heard a multiple of theories, and thinking about this for myself for quite some time, I think this is what is going to happen. As mentioned here before Jagex would probably not release a major game update at 9 PM GMT on a Saturday. It is probably something which includes less drama. And with Jagex often being quite "direct" with their hints and clues this "See the future" could certainly be supposed to be understood literary. Some kind of trailer or teaser for RS3 being released at that time, at those locations, is therefore totally possible. I will be at GE myself at that time for sure.

Platinum_Myr Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 What if its content that doesn't need a server reset?

Sy_Accursed Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 What if its content that doesn't need a server reset? (Similar to how bonus xp weekend starts) Yeah by content we specifically mean things that require a server restart, not live fixes/hot patches/online updates like bxpw turning on.

Randox Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 BXPW actually does require a server reset, it just happens days in advance. The relevant code is added in with a previous update, and programmed to go live at a certain time, and then deactivate again at a certain time. They could totally do something like that (the strange power and falling rocks are other examples), but if its more than a few second event, you would want to have extra staff around in case it messes up (BXPW is, or was, rather famous for this, and many of them have required the servers be restarted to update again shortly after the event went live to fix it). So still probably not going to be anything to ground breaking right away, though this approach does eliminate the need to down the servers during peak hours. Being logged in at this time would probably be a good idea, in case its like strange power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutters Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah, I'm still going with POP. The GE doesn't need water near it with it being the central hub of RS and all. It was probably included because they'd reach a lot of people there whether those people were aware of the countdown or not.There just isn't any other huge content being released. The combat rework is a rework and as such I doubt they'll show it off like that... And it's very doubtful that they have these things planned and ANOTHER DG/Citadel size update that they've been keeping secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum_Myr Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think it will be some sort of teaser. I don't think anything else makes sense. A full on update for anything doesn't make sense. It will be something kinda cool I imagine though. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterDexter Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Most likely it will be another teaser to RuneScape lore, maybe Zaros rips a piece out of our realm, causing demons to spawn all around the cities, training areas, killing dozens of innocent people, sheep, bots and the like! Or it are spiky Spin-tickets falling from the sky, piercing the last legit players and thus starting the Realm of the Paying Souls, all directed by an American based Zaros, sitting on his golden throne, watching Falador burn to the ground! Sometimes, my brain acts odd, I guess. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Perhaps it will pretend to be on Saturday night but not go live until some time later. (Monday?) The time for the initial bot nuke did not coincide with the release either. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

Bonez899 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think that those are all (rather) central places in the runescape world, so finally expanding the GE. Either that or more disappointemnt. http://forum.tip.it/topic/325514-bonez899s-journey-to-an-eventual-max/ My blog of progress on Runescape.

Blyaunte Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Or perhaps it's another one of those "strange events" that emanates out of Daemonheim and everyone will be engulfed in another read aura and made to float around for a moment ... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strilmus Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Someone on the RSOF pointed out that both the Strange Power and Falling rock teasers were both on a Saturday in the evening. As this is the case expect something along those lines I'd say.eh.... those changes weren't forecasted. they were meant to be SEEN firsthand. wouldn't lump them in same category.

stevepole Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I will say, this as sparked my interest. I'm curious to see what their announcement is. My only thought is that it couldn't be that grand of an announcement if they choose to embed the count down in a forum post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Dan3HitU Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Surely it can't be too much of a big deal because if it was, wouldn't they have the timer on the main-page of RuneScape, rather than in their forums?

The more hype, the more talk... the more talk, the more notice it gets... The more notice it gets the more curious people get... You understand. Seems we play the same game every time something, even remotely small, comes down the line and everyones analyzing every scrape and morsel of information.

Wootfroot Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 See the future = 'Sea' the future = Player owned ports. However, it's most likely a teaster to the actual PoP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, which is why I'm I think you might be on to something with your suggestion. Do I think it will be more Grand Exchanges? I don't know, but it's a logical assumption based off the information provided. Jagex has always tried to make Ardougne the Varrock of the west and Catherby/Seers have always been skiller towns so GEs in those locations make sense. I don't know anything about what people except from player-owned ports, but I would assume if it were PoP, they would have include Port Sarim to that list.

SwreeTak Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Jagex have now put up the "See the Future" thing as an event that will take place at the GE at 9 PM on the 28/4. It was put up on the official events page. RS events page More and more I believe that we will get some kind of demonstration of the future RS. Perhaps we might actually get RS3?
