The RuneScape Team

 

I'm not going to Runefest (too far, studying/classes anyway, etc.) but have fun for anyone going!  Maybe I'll watch some of the streams on Saturday.

The stream has started so if anyone can jot notes down please.

Does anyone have a transcript? I cant find one.

In all honesty it was quite short with not much to tell: The big thing to me is that the  'New RuneScape Product Reveal'  is going to be a new game, but set in the Runescape Universe.  

 

As per the timetable, streaming begins at 10 and it will be streamed from a glass walled room in the middle of Runefest, so you will be able to see people moving around the venue outside.....And I would inevitably guess see lots of people waving at the camera and pulling faces.   They also have cameras put up around the venue so they can show us whats going on in different rooms.

 

Hmm what else, The Big Questions seems like it will be the various usual Big name Mods like Osbourne and Mark etc answering questions largely from the forums I believe. They will be doing some Live Challenge Alan.

 

What particularly did you want to know Urza?

A new runescape universe game? Hopefully they take it to the next level as a WoW like game. I would hate to be disappointed with an Oregons Trail game that gets set as a center piece.

I think the biggest problem Jagex has with coming out with new games is that a lot of us view that we've sunk so  many hours into this one, we wouldn't want to start a fresh with a new game or take time out of progress in Runescape.

 

Therefore my hope for this would be a standalone game in its own right, that gives benefits and/or bonuses in Runescape itself as well. Perhaps even something suitable for phones or tablets.  

But RuneScape Oregon Trail would be so much fun!  You play as Customer Support, trying to lead hundreds of thousands of players through mass botting epidemics, restricted trade, and more while they scream and tug you in ten different directions.  Featuring options to mass-mute, mass-ban, or purge the forums of all complaints!

I think the biggest problem some people have (like me) with launching another game is that Jagex's track record of developing non-FB time sink crap is, well, crap. There's RS, Stellar Dawn that may or may not ever see the light of day, Transformers Universe, and nothing else.

 

Using RS's lore does give them a ready-made playerbase to count on, as opposed to trying out a new IP. So I'll be interested. But Jagex haven't been known to make anything besides RS in the past.

I really miss playing arcanists

Inb4 jagex creates a magic: the gathering type online card game.

i still think they should have replaced mobilizing armies with god wars

Guess they learned from last years PvP stage, owell xD

 

have fun with cosplays ^^

Stellar Dawn was canned a few years ago I believe..

Officially, development has been paused (as of March 2012, per Mod MMG).

 

Unofficially? Who knows. If I were a betting man, I would wager it never gets developed, but there is a non-zero chance that it does, I guess.

It's more or less been shoved into the 'departed darlings' drawer, if you get my drift.

"I'm hoping that development of Stellar Dawn will resume in January (if we can get the Transformers beta out this December) using the latest Transformers Game Engine which is really what is needed for a AAA Sci-fi game."

quote from mod mmg, summer 2012

 

"All our major development effort for 2013 is focused on RuneScape and a seperate team dedicated to Transformers, we will probably make Stellar Dawn at some point but in 2014/15"

from early 2013

 

"@Jchaplin2RS Stellar Dawn is still very much on ice until after #Transformers Universe has launched this year in June"

and from 20 jan 2014

 

I wouldn't write it off just yet.

Are they planning on there being a formal big launch for Transformers Universe, or was the launch of the beta that launch? I'm confused as to how and when they plan to transition from beta into the proper game. I'd also love to know how many people they have actually playing it.

 

This was apparently from a poll Jagex sent out in may, idk

I forgot I actually ever took this survey

So is this an actual live game or not yet?

On a scale of 1 - 10 I rate that game concept on omg I had to take 3 tries to read it cause I was so un-interested.

 

It's like some dumb online web game from the early 90s when they tried to take stuff like pokemon cards digital and crashed and burned.

Kind of sounds like Hearthstone to me.

It may be a dumb online web game from early 90s but hey, they are constantly in the top 5 of most streamed games on twitch.

 

 

 

@Arceus: no.

From looking at the questions submitted for the Big Question session on the Reddit it's going to be a complete waste of time. 95% of the questions were already asked in the VIP Q&A last week and will be answered with one of the two replies they always give:

 

'we don't have the graphical resources to do a project like that'

'we will poll this in the future'

 

I don't see the point in asking questions like 'when will we get to go to the eastern lands?' when if there's one thing this year has taught us, it's that Jagex can only do one major update like that at a time and lets  be honest, it's already going to take them another 5 years just to rework a skill or two and release the next one.

I'm still wondering what they'll have for the runescape 2015 session since they could just repeat the runescape 2014 one seeing as basically none of that stuff came out.
