Maybe you've just come into this part of the forum and is thinking, what the heck is Mechscape? Well, I've got your answers for you.

Mechscape is a online MMORPG, or say, will be, by Jagex. Jagex still are discussing whether to have the name 'Mechscape' as their new game, or 'Stellar Dawn'. This is because Mech is used in way too many other games, such as MechQuest. Things would get muddled up and cause confusion. Did I mention it hasn't been released yet? Ah, yes. Jagex won't release it until it's awesome and perfect, which it isn't yet, and they predict it will be out sometime this Spring (or Autumn for us down-unders ). No promises though, you've seen Jagex late before in Runescape .

You might be thinking, another awesome MMORPG by Jagex, like Runescape? No. Jagex's motto is 'Not Runescape in Space'. And yes, it is in space. Mechscape (or Stellar Dawn!) will be in the future on some other far-away planet, nowhere near our home, Earth. Yes, that means robots and other hi-tech creatures. Speaking of creatures, there will be around 4 different races to choose from to be your character! The 2 confirmed creatures are Humans and Pliigi. As for Mortiga, it is not guaranteed that it will be in Mechscape. Pliigi in Esperanto means 'to increase', while Mortiga in Esperanto means 'to kill'. So, if you're into deadly slaughtering, your first choice could be the Mortiga

Most of you have met the Lava Harvester in one of its photos. Well, that confirms that there will be flying objects, no promise for transport. The landscape in Mechscape will be, well, nobody except sneaky ol' Jagex knows yet, but they have provided us with a fantastic picture of, suppose Varrock in Mechscape! I'm still wondering what the blue glowing thing is on the top left-hand corner of the picture. This picture says so many things about Mechscape, it'll take me days to describe!

Q&A

Will Mechscape be awesome?
Yes

Is it worth quitting Runescape to get into Mechscape?
Why not play both?

Will there be a freeplay world?
Jagex:

Which means Jagex will have a freeplay world, although the beta will be only available for Runescape members.

Is it aimed at an older audience than Runescape? Which means less filtering in chat?
Adam Tuckwell(Jagex):

That's a yes

Thanks for reading.

P.S. Big sloppy kisses and bear hugs to Mechscape World and Ren for the pictures and some information . Credits goes to everybody who helped too

Where did you get your information regarding a free version of the game?

Possibly. Can never judge a game before it comes out Just like those movie sequels, most are crap.

If you look for some topics in this part of the forum, you will see some Mechscape Beta stuff.

I can't wait for Mechscape Beta! I think i'm going to be Mortiga, but i'll probably decide closer the time
I just hope it isn't too expensive

I thought the only confirmed one was the Pliigi, others just being interpretations from images.

If it uses the same subscription model as RuneScape, doesn't that mean there will be a free-play version of the game?

Yes.

The Pliigi look like lawnmowers
Nice finds

Maybe they are!

Thanks Neo, I'll add them on.

Assuming you're talking about this image...

The main coloured picture in that seems to just be a 'Land Vehicle' (used in a Tutorial of some sort). The Pliigi seems to just be the quick sketch towards the bottom-right with an arrow pointing at it titled "PLIIGI DUDE" - not exactly detailed enough to gain much info about characteristics. A similar sketch crops up in this image.

Oh my god. Look at the differences in height between the human and the creatures.

They will definitely fill up our screen
