Jard_Y_Dooku Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Has anyone noticed the halberds in RuneScape look NOTHING like actual halberds? Here is a dragon halberd and a rune halberd... Here's a real halberd (well, the head anyway)... I see no similarties. However, what is known as a "Lochaber axe" or "Jeddart axe" looks almost EXACTLY like the halberds in RuneScape, as you can see pictured below. Notice the same blade style, and even the small hook that the dragon version of the halberd has. So, did Jagex make a little mistake on weapon naming? From now on, I'm calling these "halberds "Lochaber axes"... or "loc axe" for short. =D> Post what you think. I'm interested to see what some of you other medieval enthusiasts think.

ValaraZ Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Top definition of halberd: (n) halberd (a pike fitted with an ax head) That would fit both on the drawn pic of halberd and d hally if u concider dragon hatchet as an axe. Personally i don't care that much, but mistakes like this are common for Jagex. Maybe it's a matter of perspective, in UK halberd might be what those are in rs. I mean of course in spoken language. Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant: "If I live, I will kill you, If I Die, you are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dork Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Why's it have to be a mistake..? I'm sure Jagex knows the difference between them, but prefered the name halberd, why does everything that resembles something irl, have to be exactly like that object? It was the same with lobsters a few months ago, people wanted them to be a more redish colour because that's what they are irl.. Why can't people just accept it's a fantasy game, and realise that just because something isn't exactly the same as it is irl, it doesn't have to be a mistake? :roll: Sig And Avatar by Tripsis - 99 Slayer Blog - My Pyramid Plunder GuideOwner of Fire Cape since 28-09-2005 - 426th to 99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomnameless Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 They might know, but we have to many axes in the game to begin with. Pickaxe, woodcutting axe, battle axe. It they named it loc axe, people might be confuse it with the batle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reich1337 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Halberd's would look so much better the other way. :o But, I seriously doubt they will change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquashock Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 they had a rant in the offical forums on this before, a mod posted something (this was before i knew how to take pics, lol, sorry) They said something along the lines of, we ment for it to be like they are, then provided an example of a hallberd that looked like the various ones in rs, and convinced the author to stop ranting about it. ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedidude77 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 thaqt's pretty interesting, thx 4 the info, but it IS a FANTASY GAME, not everthing has to be perfect :P There's no such thing as "wireless."

wakka102 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 ever thought about it being a game? :lol: Jagex can make it anything look like whatever they want as well as call it whatever they want.

darkblade986 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Runescape is just illogical as a whole. Reason? It's a game!! Yes sir Ambassador Spock... But really. There really isn't that much to complain about. A weapon is a weapon, although a graphic update would add for the realism that the Stab attack of a Halberd is that effective. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze The Movie Fan Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I agree with Dork, it's a game in another world. Why would it be compaired to real life? RuneScape is suppose to be another world with things working differently. I Google searched and found out you're right, but still, RuneScape is suppose to be another world. I also google searched Hobgoblins and found out they are also different from RuneScape. Of course it happens in another world, that's why they look different. Just wanted to give similar example.

Wrench_150 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 We play this game to have our fantasies or whatever. Maybe my fantasy is purple lobsters? Does it matter, most of us play this game to relax and escape real life for a while so why make it exactly like real life? No point... Anyways, nice find...they are some-what different.
