Hi there! Yeah, it's been a while since a news post regarding RS or RW. There probably won't been any RW updates for a little, but they are actually very good reasons for that; however, rest assured we DO have something planned. In other news I saw this RS News Post as a good bit interesting; I guess it's the big suprise for '08 we heard about a little while ago?

Taken from www.runescape.com:

Over the past year, we've been keeping a rather large secret. We have been working on a complete graphical rework of RuneScape, which is looking truly spectacular. There's no need to take our word for it: look at the images below and see for yourself. As you know, we currently offer 'High Detail' and 'Low Detail' modes. We plan on adding a new and optional detail mode, bringing you accelerated higher quality graphics. This will be in addition to the existing detail modes, as they will remain unchanged.

As if the improvements below weren't enough, an optional fullscreen version of RuneScape is due at the same time. This will let you play at a resolution of your choice, and it also supports widescreen monitors. We think you'll agree, the future of RuneScape is looking very good indeed.... NOTE - When producing games and updates, we aim to make them accessible to the maximum number of people. These graphical improvements are no different. We are continuing to gather specs from your computers (please see the 'Send Us Your Specs' newspost if you have not already), and we can already say that the majority of you will be able to play RuneScape with these improvements!

I'm liking the shadow effects, but the ground texture is a little lol pre-rendered, kinda reminds of some original Counter Strike stuff.

What I like:

The sword, not completely green, just black-gray with a hint of green.

The shadow effects.

I like that fullscreen option the most.

The face (more detalied)

What I dislike.

The grounds are too pre-rendered, (Data was right.)

And that's prttey much it.

Hope they come soon, im tired of having RS the size of my hand =(

Graphics still remain 2nd to gameplay in any game as far as I'm concerned. I still prefer a good game and am willing to sacrifice on graphics. I realize they play an important part in any overall game rating but I think they rank 2nd in importance.
