Runescape: Hot Off the Press!

1. Jagex has banned just about 1300 accounts in the last few days. With their new engine, they can track macroers and hackers way easier. So it's a lot better in that aspect I hear.


2. They are trying to improve the graphics. They are a lot nicer now than ever before; even though they aren't even close to the standards of today's graphics, they are getting better. The reason for the bad graphics is because they are coding the game in Java. Most big games are made in C++. The Java language cannot implement graphics...and if you can then it's super hard to. They can only use mathematics and such to start off any graphics. With C++ you can use 3-D modelers to make your graphics.


3. I'm not sure if they are ever gonna do anything about buying money online...that's probably one of the worst things in Runescape. They have way too many sites doing this and it gets quite annoying when you find out that you're fighting someone that just bought all his gear with some birthday money...


4. The community in my experience was quite horrific. Most of the people that I have encountered are little kids that call you noobs and such, and are VERY immature.


5. PvP and PvE are also one of the game's worst points. You basically take turns hitting...which is quite unrealistic and not very fun. There is no guild system setup, and also no grouping system setup. The system for skills and such is not very exciting and all together pretty darn boring.

Now..I'm not standing up for Runescape. I used to play this game a lot who used to play this game, I found out how much better other games were. I'm just trying to explain to some people that do not know why the graphics are its best...but until they get a REALLY improved graphics engine, deal with buying money online, and fix there combat system, then they will never be one of the huge MMORPGs out there.
