Community Recap - April

Posted by J360 comments

Each month the Blogs and Comics team, sums up the last month at Zybez so you may catch up on things you may have missed.

After an exciting April for Zybez, let's take some time out to look back on the highlights!
The Old School RuneScape Price Guide and Exchange still doesn't show any signs of slowing down since its release in February, being largely responsible for the fact we were breaking our 'Most Users Online' record almost every Sunday which currently stands at 5,749! Were you ever frustrated by the fact there wasn't quite enough space to add a note about a meeting point for your offers? Well, fear no more. To make it more practical the tool has been given a new 'Info' field whereby you can now go into such detail! We hope this helps and boosts activity for the coming future! Continue reading...

RuneScape 3 - The Future is Ours

Posted by PZ3 comments

As we all know, the release of the latest installment of RuneScape is right around the corner. Jagex continues to push the limits this time by delivering the best possible gaming experience to the players. Ever since RuneScape began 12 years ago, the game has come a long way in terms of content and of course, aesthetics. 200 million accounts later, with over 150 billion minutes of game time accumulated, we're now ready to see what the next step will be for the RuneScape world.

Jagex is taking a new direction with RuneScape 3 by its unique HTML5 implementation. Although this architecture has not been fully integrated into the mainstream internet yet, Jagex is hoping that it will be much more prominent by 2014 and this is their way of getting a head start. Even though RS3 will be implemented in HTML5, Jagex is also keeping some of the old java architecture in place in order to insure backwards compatibility to players who are still running older hardware that may not support HTML5. We asked Mark Ogilvie, Lead Designer of RuneScape, if the push for HTML5 will allow for the appearance of RuneScape on tablets and smart phones. "Absolutely 100%" says Ogilvie. "Many of the reasons why we've moved into HTML5 and the improvements that we wanted to do with the basic interface; they're all stepping stones that allow us to actually do all the things that we've wanted to do. I want to give the RuneScape experience to every player, and I don't want them to be forced to be sat in front of a PC. If they want to be able to move around with a tablet, we should be able to allow them to do that. We are 100% geared up to do that, it's what we want to do and it's where we see our future".

The improvements to the interface that Ogilvie mentioned is another big change we'll be in store for with the HTML5 implementation of RS3. The user interface is now completely open to player customization; we can now choose for ourselves what we want displayed in each of our windows. Not to mention these windows can all be re-sized or positioned wherever we want on our screens. This seems to lend further support for Jagex's overall goal of giving more power to the players, and having the players able to make more of their own decisions.

An updated graphics engine due to the HTML5 upgrade has also brought a new view to the world of RS3. In addition, with the new camera movement abilities, we can now see more of it. Before, we had two directions that we could move our cameras: up for a bird's eye view, or down for a rather poor attempt at a third person view. In RS3, not only can you move your camera up and down, but left and right as well with much more fluidity than before. You can now look up and see the sky, or stand on a hilltop and view far into the distance. Being able to see water that now reflects sunlight, vast shadows casted by fresher looking buildings and the elements of nature really resonated with how far RuneScape has evolved in RS3.

All of the technical advances that Jagex has made with RS3 really makes the game feel like it's moving into the next generation. But how will this affect some of the more veteran players of the game? "I'm not interested in changing the fabric of what we've always done, I want to be able to deliver more" says Ogilvie. "I'm not interested in changing what the players already know and love, this isn't about reinventing the entire experience in the game. It's about taking what we've got already, what we do really well, and do it even better". Ogilvie also told us that the story of RuneScape will take more of a turn and that the future of the world will be determined by the actions of the player. Guthix is dead, and fate of the world now depends on the players who are now known as World Guardians. The actions that a player takes will dictate how the remaining gods influence the world around them. As a result, Jagex is aiming to redefine the relationship between the player and the game by having players making their own decisions, and having to live with the outcomes of those decisions.

We also caught wind that alongside the development of RS3, two new skills will be introduced into the game. The first of which, Divination, will be released this summer. We asked Dean Ollive, Head of Content for RuneScape if he could give us any details about it. "That skill will be impact-able on the game world" says Ollive. "Elements of this skill and player skilling will affect the outcome you will get. So choose wisely is what I'm saying to players, I don't even know where this sort of thing is going because the players have to tell me." We also asked about the second skill, and what relationship it would have to Divination. "You'll probably have the relationship similar to woodcutting and fletching, so that's what we're looking for. Whether they will come out one after the other I'm not sure, it depends on how the design is going and how crazy they take it with this. The second skill is the one with the real meat on it." At least we can look forward to a new set of skills coming in RS3 with Divination leading the way. Jagex seems to be keeping those details behind closed doors, so we can only wait and see what they'll be.

Jagex has given us a lot to look forward to with RS3, and they have had to leap over some big challenges in order to bring us the best possible gaming experience we can have. Recent updates to the game have been setting the stage, including the recent update to the combat system, various graphical upgrades, revamps to some mini games, etc. They have always kept the player community at the top of their list of priorities. I myself have played RuneScape for 9 years now, and I've been a first hand witness to the evolution of the game throughout the majority of it's lifetime. After witnessing RS3 and the steps Jagex has taken in order to mold the world of Gielinor to better suit the decisions of the players themselves, I believe this is a big step for the future of RuneScape. Where it will go from here, well, as Jagex would put it... is up to us.

Bts Video 53: Harvest Heaven

Posted by w13Fri, 17 May 2013

In this week's Behind the Scenes video, Mod Moltare takes us through the new plants and produce coming to the Farming skill:




To discuss this, head on over to the forums.


Paul M and the Video Team

It’s back, bigger and better – the alchemist’s amulet returns to Squeal of Fortune.


Starting today, amulet fragments will appear on the Squeal of Fortune. The core idea is the same: collect up to 10 fragments and transform them into an alchemist’s amulet and a bundle of gold coins. If you use 1-9 fragments to create the amulet, it’ll be cosmetic, but collecting and transforming 10 fragments gets you a special amulet with some handy functions thrown in. Also, you get more gold the more fragments you use.


Alchemist's Amulet Returns

So what’s bigger and better this time?


Firstly, the amulets have new names and new looks. Transform between 1 and 9 fragments to get hold of a cosmetic shining alchemist’s amulet. Transform the full set of 10 fragments to receive the almighty radiant alchemist's amulet.


Secondly, the amount of gold rewarded upon transformation is now proportional to your total skill level, as well as the fragments used. The higher your levels, the more gold you’ll receive!


Thirdly, the radiant alchemist’s amulet grants 15 High Level Alchemy spells and 1 free teleport to the Grand Exchange every day.


And last – but definitely not least – you’ll find a transmutation tablet up for grabs. Convert your 1-10 amulet fragments with the tablet in your possession and it will be consumed, but your resulting gold will be doubled. With all ten pieces and a transmutation tablet, there’s potential to receive up to 5,400,000 gold!


Amulet fragments and transmutation tablets will be available from Squeal of Fortune between Friday 17th May 2013 00:00 GMT and Monday 27th May 23:59 GMT. You can purchase spins here, or by clicking ‘Add Spins’ in the Squeal of Fortune interface. Don’t forget that members get two daily spins instead of one!
