It's so hard to tell from distance if ore has respawned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

how long has this been like this?

i think that there was an update for that area a while ago, but im not sure

its been there for a while... another one of jagex's hidden updates. They also changed it in the south fally mines :|

I logged onto RS a couple of days ago for no reason and went to the crafting guild and mined some gold ore and then I realized the rocks had changed I was like..."what tha!?" but i've gotten used to them now.

Only some of the rocks have changed, I think its mostly rocks without any aggro NPC's to attack you, thats just a guess though.

its all part of their graphical updates

what rock have you been hiding under all this time? it mustve been a rock in the wildy or on karamja... this update happened a long, long time ago. as jagex continues their updates around the world, they will eventually upgrade all the rocks to look like this. go check out the ones in barbarian village, i hear they contain two ores each(i think its clay and tin).

I actually like them better this way. I powermined up several levels (to 79) mining only iron ores at the Rimmington mine.

It was when they updated the graphics around there :D

 

 

 

 

 

BTW, you have no friends.... How sad :cry: lol

I just placed the same color over my friends list..

 

 

 

how else would i be talking to someone? lo

It was changed when Jagex renovated Falador and Port Sarim.

dude have u been playing in late '05?

 

 

 

they made that update like in september!

 

 

 

u must not look at the updates every week, right?

They updated the crafting guild long ago. But yes, some other places have changes recently. The mine a tad west of Faldor has converted to these "piles of poop containing ores" as I call them. I much prefer the old style, and I have no idea why Jagex is doing it.

Maybe 3 months ago...

They also changed it to make it harder for autoers, how it made it harder, i dunno..

The rocks remind me to much of clay..

 

Sorry for such a short post.. and its not spam its called an opinion

the new rocks are a step closer to the rocks looking more realistic, i mean you don't just get a projection of coal ou the ground, u get a lump of rock with coal in.

 

I think the way it stops autoers in by reducing the amount of colour showing when the rock is ready to be mined again, so it can't be detected easily buy the autoer, but inadvertantly made it a tad hard to see for normal players, ohwell you can't win them all.

I started playing in October '05, and the rocks in the Rimmington mine were like that then. It's been there for a while.

I like the original rocks because it was easier to tell if they had the ore or not... I guess it's either to resemble actual mining better or to mess with the autoers.

its been like that for a while

It is old but I personally don't mind it because I am used to it whereas other miners aren't. :lol:
