Runescape 3 release date confirmed

4.7
Jagex has announced Runescape 3 will be released on July 22 2013.

The latest entry is a continuation of the current game that allows existing characters and accounts to carry over when it is released. To launch Runescape 3 Jagex is holding a large in-game world event called "The Battle of Lumbridge".

"This will be a world event of epic scale where your decisions and actions will forever shape the story of Gielinor. The future of RuneScape is in your hands," it says on the official Runescape website.

Jagex has also released a list of changes and upgrades that have been made:

Technology

HTML5 game client: The next generation of browser technology. It brings a big step up in visual quality with improved lighting, draw distance and colour, loading into your browser in moments, without the need for plug-ins or Java.
New audio engine: High-fidelity audio and music, featuring full orchestral pieces written by BAFTA Award winner James Hannigan and played by the Slovak Symphony Orchestra.
Seasonal high scores: Compete against your friends and the rest of the RuneScape community to rank on weekly and monthly leaderboards.
Story

Dawn of the Sixth Age: The gods of RuneScape are returning. Entrusted as World Guardians, players have the power to decide which gods will win and lose in their struggles for supremacy.

The Battle of Lumbridge: An epic-scale world event which will shake the foundations of Gielinor, and one which is driven entirely by your actions. Week by week, your choices will shape the flow of battle and the fate of characters, locations and stories, and the ultimate outcome will set the course for RuneScape's future.
Gameplay

New Interface System: Designed for ease of use and massive depth of customisation, the NIS lets you quickly change RuneScape's UI according to your play style at any given moment. It also includes feature upgrades such as key binding and a resizable minimap to put even more choice at your fingertips.

Upgraded camera: Overhauled and updated, a new in-game camera gives you the freedom to view Gielinor like never before.

New community website: Customise your community experience to your specifications, with a new easy-to-navigate website focused on your needs.
Divination: Prepare to unlock divine powers from your surroundings with a new skill for RuneScape 3, arriving a few weeks after launch.

Why do people keep comparing this game to WoW, they are different in there own ways and are better in their own ways. With WoW its on disk so its going to better better in multiply ways where as Runescape is a web based game so it is limited to what they can do.

- WoW ****.

jacobjk935 Runescape is mainly now focusing on the elite maxed players. I started to get back into it and now everything is for the highest possible players nothing for the average player. With now just super bosses coming out kalphite king and now the vorango or whatever there's nothing new for us average players.

Ive never really gotten into Runescape. I mean ive played it a litte bit but never actully got intop it. Is it worth it at all>


Not really the game has changed for the elite and the regular player has little to no choice. When I first got into it (over 5 years ago!) it was more evenly balanced for everyone. But now if I were to start over I wouldn't even know where to begin.
