Runescape dev announces new sci-fi MMORPG

Ahaha... A sci-fi game. Please, don't make me laugh. Any sci-fi MMO will be rendered obsolete with the release of The Old Republic.

I think we can all agree when i say this. "Runescape used to be one of the best mmo's out there. And Jagex took advantage and tried to upgrade it. Not knowing that they basically screwed the entire game up with the updates." I love Jagex, and I love RS. I still play it, just not as into it as i used to be. The game has potential, but all of it is in P2P.

ea must not like free games and millions of users...

mod mark is such a g[angster] cussing out EA and stuff

pretty excited for stellar dawn. its kind of funny cuz when i first played RS so many years ago i thought "man it would be cool if there were a sci-fi version of this!" man, i must be psychic cuz now there will be. its just like that time I first played PSO and thought "man they should make this for the ds!" and lo and behold they did.

Never really understood why people hated on Runescape so much. It isn't the best game out there but it is decent. Hopefully the new MMO will look better :).

@XxF1N4L-ST4NDxX Lol we'll call it a draw, and it wuold be better with original wildy. BUT WITH THAT SAID! U shuld still get on bcause sum of the new features and graphic updates r awesome and if u dont u'll miss out BIG time so check! :)

@Blazeingdragin You also got some good points there :P how about we call it a draw hear then? :) But you do have to admit runescape was better without PvP and just the original wilderness....

@XxF1N4L-ST4NDxX Lol u got a point but u gotta remember that there are some safe zones (Mainly Lumbridge) and theres a posibility of getting skulled but still u dont get 2 keep all of ur items. Thats why u work ur lvl up so u can hang with the pvp ppl and there (high lvlrs) proly not gettin there lvl up cuz there bored with the game and like u said goin around and bein punk and killin low lvlrs who actually are stupid 4 goin in2 pvp worlds cuz they no and act dumb so u know.

@Blazeingdragin Yeah but that also means getting owned whilst your out and about in towns and stuff by high levels that have nothing better to do than kill other people :L besides its been a while since I've played it properly, can't remember all the big details 8)

@XxF1N4L-ST4NDxX There is PvP in wildy u just hav 2 go 2 a PvP wrld DUH!!!!

If runescape didn't take away the wilderness PvP stuff and actually became more than a browser game, it would be great.

I said to my friend that game looks soo geeky and dumb (runescape)...I ended up playing the free version till I was a lvl 65 (facepalm) But I hope stellar dark is what RS used to be...awesome wildy pking.....no g/e crap (well...it sucked for the free players cuz the only way to make money was to merchant really) But I will try stellar dark and see what happens

the game had so much potential, too bad they ruined it with silly decisions like the g/e which ruined the whole economy and taking off the wilderness and capping pvp. thats when i quit.

Runescape was fun for a long time. Lol EA! However any mmorpg games that have a split playerbase between paying and free won't be as sucessful as something like WOW.

It's awesome Jagex was knocked back by EA - they have become a huge success. I started playing RuneScape in 2001, haven't had time for it lately but I've never really forgotten about it. Been hearing about their new sci-fi game for ages - it's nice to have a name to call it and I'll be there to play it on day one.

@Blueblaze02 Did i say its gonna cost money to play online no i didn't but if its not like diablo and/or WoW im not getting it maybe just becasue wasting time to get WoW exp pack or Diablo 3

Hope Stellar Dawn will be much much better than RuneScape. 8)

@Peeweecup21 Lol, someone didn't read the article. Jagex only makes free games with optional membership.

Runescape like Apple, never goes away, even when it is the underdog. but maybe someday.

well with kotor, i can only imagine more sci fi mmos will be coming. but they wont be FREE!

WoW is gonna kill it becasue it killed every other one so yea not buying it unless if its good like that game or diablo game so yea

Runescape is great. Jagex is a great developer. This upcoming I'm sure will attract a lot of attention and will be great too. 'Nuff said.

runescape rules!!!! well ruled, i got so hooked on it ,i gave away all my gaming systems last gen

To be fair the game doesn't even suck, it's just mostly grinding which is why it gets boring after a while.

Google should of invested in this instead >.> lol

Loved Runescape back in the day lol...never became a member but it still offered enough as a free member to keep you going, should be interesting to see something new

People may be critical of Runescape, but for what it is, its a great game. It's one of the largest and best browser games out there. Although it sucks when compared to any other MMO, as a game that requires no install and $5 a month, it is quite an accomplishment. And even though the community is often full of 12 year old's, their are a surprising number of older players and the community itself is very active. Sure, compare it to any console and PC game and see how it sucks, but compare it to any browser game and you'll see how its not too shab.

I haven't played Runescape in years, but it was really fun when I did play it, fairly cheap- not free, mind you -and it was possible to do everything there was in the game by yourself. They've changed so much stuff recently, the trading, catchy music, the wilderness isn't the wilderness anymore, and so much more, it's just a shell of it's former self. I'll always have fond memories of it though, and a copy all the old songs on my pc to remember it by.

Runescape is awesome, cant wait to see what Stellar Dawn will be like

Runescape isnt for everyone, but those who play it certainly enjoy its addictive nature. It may be repetitive but under the hood so are so many other games... ive put my time into it and finally decided to quit when I realized it was sucking up way too much of my time. I am interested to see what this new game is.

Runescape is a great game for the 12-15 yr old level i know i played it alot got to lvl 42 just signed in again today and it said i hadnt signed in for 1286 days lol im 17 now hahah

Cool, I really like Runescape so Ill have to check this out

RS sucks pretty bad, the new one probably won't be too good either but I'll give a try.

Hopefully this will be brought to you by one guy with Java as well. Go Andrew!!!

I really can't remember last time I played Runescape. It's interesting at first but then you realize there's nothing much to do that's not repetitive...

RS free? Sure, the original game is untouched and free, but what you can do in that is pretty limited. 70% of the game is locked out to all but monthly subscribers. I stopped play RS about 6 years ago, when I had the sudden realization that the ENTIRE game was just number crunching with a (not so pretty) graphical interface covering that fact. Hopefully, the new game is a little more interactive in terms of strategy and combat.

Jagex certianly is one amazing developer and they dont get enough credit for it. Ill be looking forward to their new game, always liked runescape but after a while it got weird for me because of all the content I missed when I was taking breaks from it. WoW has nothing on Runescape.

i used to like runescape but i am worried with the new game, the current state of runescape needs fixing and i think they should either focus on rs, or they might make the same mistakes with this new game

The game gets really boring if you're not p2p, even if you're in the #1 f2p warring clan it's not what it used to be 4-5 years ago. I just play it for wars now.

Runescape was my absolute favorite game a few years ago! I hope this one can redeem itself from some of the "changes" that were made a couple years ago though.

@tyco ex That's because when it came out we were like 13 lol, runescape is like 10 years old now i think haha

Runescape was/is a love/hate game. Hopefully jagex can redeem themselves to all of us.

Runescape is a decent games for kids. A great first mmorpg for when you're like 10-13. This is cool.

i was Runescape fan but in certain period when i was in lvl 65 i got bored . i wish if the developer a creates proper runscape world with good graphic like dragon age

loooooooool cool. i just started playing again, im one of the few on here that actually plays the game a lot lol. got 3 lvl 99 skills, not much but still love them ^^ 99 agil ftw!!!

I remember Runescape wasted two years of my life, and I'll be sure not to make that mistake AGAIN! Its THE worst game ever, its a failed attempt to rip off of WoW, and as bad as it already was, Jagex killed it with the updates! To sum it up, in two words: RUNESCAPE SUCKS!!!!!!!!

runescape came out with lots of bad updates on jagex's behalf, but you have to come to respect Jagex, being one of the few companies that aren't all about greed.
