Yes it's finally here the official launch date for the biggest upgrade in RuneScape's acclaimed 12 year history, RuneScape 3. So sit back and relax and enjoy this epic bonus Behind the Scenes video

From what I saw it just looks like a massive graphics and sound and software update bigger then the one from 2008. But how many actual gameplay changes are there?

Did I just hear, its powered by HTML 5 not java? or am I just completely retarded.

Yeah but you still can run the java version:

You can also continue to play using the Java client if you wish – you’ll get all of the benefits of RuneScape 3, just without the visual upgrades

I would play it if they removed the retarded Combat system -.-

Im extremely confused on how you can make a complete online game with animations/graphics like that with HTML, like yeah ive made a website with HTML, but a game im lost haha.

Let just say that the HTML5 dev team is awesome.

Well I have barely played RuneScape in the past few months but I've just tried out the interface beta and I must admit it's pretty cool.

You can also expand the minimap and walk long distances easily:

Well that's useful :p

There's definitely a few things which will help produce scripts. Like said above, the changeable MM will make walking a hell of a lot easier, and also the ability to customise the UI could help scripters make their scripts more efficient. Definitely looks a lot better as well…

I had no idea that things would be as customize able to that extent, it would make most paths into 1 or 2 points.

The minimap expansion should be really good for making scripts with walking in them! Hopefully not many colours will be changed >.<

Would probably need a SRL-default interface to save on changing it everytime you use a different script.

WebGL + HTML5 Canvas.

Hopefully there'll be a button in the graphics options which resets the UI to default. Just have the script press that at the start, and then customise it as it sees fit.

EDIT: Just checked and there's a few options available:

Old School layout (the one I assume we'll use):

Tonnes of stuff Everything is going to need to be updated.

only looking forward to the new skills tbh :)
