Is Runescape getting ahead of itself?

Featured Replies

In every history book i've read there were mages and giant dragons.

 

 

 

Isn't history real? Don't try to attempt to get ahead of yourself now :D

 

Didn't Animal Planet prove that dragons might have exsisted?

 

Dragons probably did excist although I doubt they had a fire breath, just giant lizards that were sparce in the world, so people wrote "myths" about them having a fire breath etc. Same with a lot of other mythical creatures, a lot of it seems possible, it's just that they're greatly exagerated.

 

 

 

As I said already in this topic, this game is meant to be FUN and NOT to be taken seriously. I don't understand why anyone is upset when Jagex try to make the game more fun by adding things that were meant to be jokes. Please, if you don't like anything in the game just because you feel it doesn't fit in to a FANTASY game then, well, you're an idiot. Of Course they'll be going to far if they start putting Guns etc. in (As proper items, not as spin-off objects (Fixed-Device))

Realism is overrated... Especialy in a game like RuneScape. The characters are cariacatures(sp?) of human beings. You look down upon your own character, and see nothing but a few random objects through your character's eyes. How realistic is that? Not at all. Want realism? Go find a game that has first-person perspective in it. Go find a game where you ARE the character, not some detatched being clicking on stuff and watching the character go somewhere. [DANCE, PUPPETS, DANCE!!!]

 

 

 

I think it's fine as it is. As long as they don't start putting in junk like "Shark-mounted Anti-Dragon LaZeRZ of Death" in the game, I'm fine with it.

 

 

 

If I wanted reality, I would choose to walk around outside. I have enough reality as it is, I think the way RS is fits its somewhat amusing absurd personality it typically has.

I like how you put the words 'prove and 'might' in the same sentence. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

And look Runescape is not real. Go play some game where eerything is real like.. ummm.. um... hey i can't think if one! maybe because most real games aren't as fun as fantasy games?

mssigqc5.jpgI do English to Japanese and Japanese to English translation for free! Just keep it under 5 sentences, and PM me to use my fluency in Japanese to your advantage!

dont analize it dude you take to much on fact than play, where there dragon weapons that were red or rune mithril or adamant? where there abbysal demons or bloodvelds were there even such things as runes or teliportation, if you look at one thing look at all of it.

I don't mind about the new for lack of a better word futureish items as long as I don't see someone walking around with weapons from stargate sg1. And one futureish item I really would like them to add would be cheeseburgers. would be simple, use knife on bread to make the bun halfs, kill cow and cook meat and get cheese and tomato, use with each other and a cheeseburger. I just really like cheeseburgers and they already have pizza :'(

huh isnt the medieval the same as runescape

 

darn that why i get a freaking 1 on my medieval history test

 

stupid blue dragons :oops: :roll: :lol:

the gadderhammer, colorful, maul rip off...

 

Actually, back in the medieval times, weapons were decorated with enlayed gold and heraldry. So in reality, the granite maul would be more of a brutish weapon and the gadderhammer more realistic for the time.

If a turtle doesnt have a shell, is it naked or homeless ?

I'm confused. You play runescape because you want realism, the reason I play RS is because it's fantasy. RS has its only pretty individual setting, no orcs for one taking it away from tolkienised fanstasy games, and I like its niche fantasy. Realism hah, do you really want to spend a couple of weeks hard work making one piece of platemail.

 

 

 

Camo, as someone mentioned before was popular in Asia due to the fact nobody wants big heavy armour in a jungle. And I'm pretty sure in England (the other countries still had cavemen :roll: ) every good hunter and archer had camoflagued clothes (maybe not as camo as it is RS, but you get the point).

 

 

 

And if the frog luancher could actually be used as a rocket luancher then I'd coplain, but it can't so its fine. The Gadderhammer looks far more medieval than the maul to me, one made out of concrete, the other a cerimonial hammer.

 

 

 

I also don't see how this is more commercial, I doubt Jagex is sponsored my camoflauge clothing company, so they have camo clothes in game.

 

 

 

Putting your mispellings in bold isn't wise either, people tend to take you more seriously the less blatent typos you have.

This game is plenty old fashioned enough for me, sure there are some elements that are maybe a bit more modern, but they just make it interesting.

The game attempts to copy old midevil times which is the realistic part of the game, the dragons and all that is realistict enough for me. I'm speaking about the futuristic items in the game they didn't have back in that point of time that JaGeX is trying to encorporate in it which I belive doesn't seem to suite it.

The game has never attempted to recreate any time period, and JMods have posted as such on official forums. What kind of medieval war involved automated cannons and arrows which sought out their target? Have you ever tried archery? Most arrows shot do not hit the target dead-on if you're facing away from it, yet I can shoot a creature with my back facing it (due to lag, generally). If you wanted to spend time you could find endless amounts of unrealistic ideas in the game. If you're going to complain about camo, complain about our characters themselves. How many medieval men and women walked around with neon green hair and clothing bearing far more resemblance to modern styles than even styles of the 1700s? I'm done ranting about it, but RS is by no means realistic, and I would stop playing the minute they made it 100% realistic.

New sigzor^^

Well, first of all I know it doesn't say that it is midevil, so before you try to prove me wrong and say "oo, your a noob because you didn't read the whole 10 1/2 pages of the rules blah blah." Listen please...

 

 

 

What I want to say is that, most of the new items in the game are spoiling the game. Because in my vision and thought of the game is midevil. What I mean by getting ahead of itself is:

 

 

 

Example 1:

 

 

 

Camo... Back in thoes days, of England and the kings when they actually had armour "midevil times" I haven't seen one person with camo. I belive most of these items should be resigned and replaced with new.

 

 

 

I'm sure most of you know alot of items like this like the gadderhammer, colorful, maul rip off...

 

 

 

The more realistic the game is, the better in my point of view. Everything is getting commercial now adays.

 

 

 

Thank you for your time. (This probably belongs in rants?)

 

 

 

Color...it does seem like back in the past people really didn't care for colored stuff...

 

 

 

 

 

The Greeks in the BC used lots of color, they loved it...bright, dark colors...thats BC and RS is set around the time perioud of 1100-1300 maybe...

 

 

 

Its in it's time...Yet I do belive they never had camo lol

Camo.. what about enchanted mage, that seems real to me. Magic I belive is real, not so sound like a idiot, I have seen it done and I know it's all illusion, RS does really play it out well though lol.

The more realistic the game is, the better in my point of view.

 

 

 

Very well, we'll need to remove all the monsters and npcs that are not "realistic" including goblins, dragons, unicorns, giants, ogres, skeletons and ghosts. That should leave us with a lovely array of villagers, barbarians, knights, chickens and cows to kill. Then we'd have to remove any weapons and armour that were not "realistic" - nothing over steel then which would make smithing over level 50 redundant, and forget about dragonhide of any sort for rangers. We needn't worry about mage armour because there would be no mages, since magic isn't "realistic". No magic would mean we could also kill the runecrafting skill (which would make people wonder why it was called "Runescape"). No magic or dragonhide would make crafting useless as a skill. Farming would need to be made more "realistic" by making your crops take 6 - 12 months to grow. The sea voyage from Port Sarim to Karamja should take four hours instead of 20 seconds. Etc, etc, etc...

 

 

 

Leave it the way it is. If I want "realistic" I won't play an online fantasy game.

 

 

 

Eating a piece of fish to heal injuries... Reality at it's finest. :roll:

 

 

 

RuneScape doesnt have a specific time period that it is supposed to take place in. Hell, maybe RuneScape is supposed to take place in present day, and its just behind it's time.

 

 

 

If you're going to adress "faults" in the game, you ought to address them all.

Realism = Stupid

 

 

 

Fantasy games = Cool

 

 

 

why sohuld games stick to the facts? that would make them boring...
