Ooo, that looks nice.

I suppose it is great way to introduce the game to newcomers

nice lol but i would want to see the webiste first it seems strange but oh well

dang u shpendii that was mine. oh well 2nd reply 3 rd post...

I loled for the sole fact they showed mostly members content then it said F2p on it.
Looks ok.

I saw 1 f2p thing

Ooh, stylish. I like it. Hopefully will make people want to play Runescape (albeit by editing out the dull bits), which is only a good thing.
Are thise mods playing in the trailer, I wonder?
EDIT: Wow easl, skills on us both replying in the same minute...

Theyre brainwashing people

After this trailer i had the sudden urge to log in...

wow
i think im gonna quit rs f2p and join runescape free to play as it offers everything that members have

I like the new splash screen, but they really need to change the homepage.. The Chosen Commander came out in February.. It's June..

Funny how most of the trailer shows P2P features and it says F2P at the end.

Ah, the powers of persuasion.
It actually looks quite nice.

Exactly what I was thinking. Those little rascals
But very nice. If I saw that before I joined I would definately check RuneScape out.

The video looks nice.

The homescreen is only changed every major release.

Whoa, that makes me want to play RuneScape more now. I like it.

They could have improved it, and they probably will.
For now though, it looks kinda plain, like any other MMORPG.

It will probably change when the new Dwarf quest comes out.

I agree with the fact that most of the video shows p2p.
I know two simple ways the video can be imroved.
1) Show some cool looking bits from cutscenes.
2) Have one skillcape emote (prayer looks best)


By the way I'm happy at the moment because my new computer arrived and I comleted recipie for disaster!

Oh. My. GAD. That was amazing! :| The trailer had me wanting to start Runescape all over again, I freaking love it!
Jagex has out done themselves once again.

~D

Actually I just noticed that most of the things included in the video were P2P.
They should really put in more non-members stuff as a newbie might say to himself

"Hey, that looked cool, I wanna go do that!"

but they can't because it's members only and they are forced to pay.

It was a good video..
made me happy and proud of being a mem =p

Cool and misleading trailer. I mean if you've just started you won't be able to do 95% of that stuff .

As

The trailer is so awesome.

JaGex is doing a good job reaching out to the gaming community. Plus that trailer is amazing - pity most of the features are P2P...

Lol at the end. F2p! But you can't do any of the things in this video so either fork over the cash or get stuck in a world way smaller than the one you imagined!

Wow. I have not seen a RuneScape splash screen before. If I was a new player to the game it would certainly draw me it. I don't know if I would be dissappointed if I learned later on that a lot of the content showed is actually only for members. I don't think so. Anyway, very neat.

Hence marketing.

The main thing, is in the first few seconds by itself, it makes it look like a single player game, I laughed hard.

I kind of figured it would have something to do with marketing. It was a pretty smart idea though.

To be honest, it really was a pretty good trailer all in all, but needs some improvement.

Do you think that, after people that get interested into trying RuneScape because of this video and all of the stuff they "will be able to do", realize that they actually have to pay to get most of the things they saw..
they'll pay for it?

(I would)

sorry but whats a splash screen???

to be honest they should make everything in that video real and put into rs and then i would say jagex owns but if they dont i say wow whatever rs never changes. lol

its anoying. i got on and it took me to the free play log in.

That was sort of the point....

You go play freeplay, then buy the membership to get the rest of it. It's sort of the whole idea.

A splash screen is an introduction to the web page. New visitors see this screen upon visiting your website. Some splash screens are trailers and previews like Jagex did here. Others are maps around the website.

I found it amusing that all the screenshots were just captures from the trailer. I mean, really? You couldn't bother going out and grabbing a couple screenies to help out?

Uhm? What bit in that video is not in RS?

Pretty awesome tbh.

How do i delete the cookies of it, it kinda gets on my nerves

I lol'd when I saw this:


1) Obvious yes
2) No, completely biast and big lie they only say that because they have 15million characters, but they don't count all the banned, quit, alternative, autoer and multiple characters.
3) See above
4) They don't mention the virus built into their cache
5) Alot of games have that
6) What does that even mean?
7) Yes but over 3/4 of those skills are tedious and boring
8) Agreeable but alot are crap

Via your browser, No .

Over 15,000 hours of free gameplay means doing all free play quest and getting all f2p skills to 99 in f2p will take you over 15,000 hours .

Nope - afaik 'tis the longest amount of time a pure-f2per has spent in-game. Getting ALL stats to 99 would take around 6k hours and I wouldn't have thought F2P was ~4x slower (less skills, so not ~3x).

FALSE ADVERTISMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no virus

yes it looks nice, But! they only showed 1 F2p bit, and new players who will become f2p will feel abit let down, when they try and click on HD.. and thats membs only.

wish RS would bring it out so f2p can have HD too, like on another game i sometimes play, where everyone gets HD, even if it is only a free trial..

Sir, HD is available to anyone. Now, Fullscreen HD is members only.

2) 15million characters is quite believable actually even with banning and a multiple character is still a character I doubt many people even have more then one account.
3) over 2 million players are on the high scores community of millions makes sense.
4) Virus in their cache? I would edit that out because you sound like a moron with that comment and shows how uneducated you are.
5) How many other full sized mmo's do you see that let you play in a browser?
6) Means you would be able to play 15,000 and still not be able to finish everything released to this point (eg; getting all 99's etc
7) Thats a opinion but to be honest with you what MMO makes grinding fun?
8) Once again another opinion.

I'm a miss!

I cannot get HD to work on my computer, even tho when i play that other game it works no probs, and thats browser based no download.. (sherwood dungeon.)

so i've no idea why RS HD wont work on my computer.. even tho others do.. lol

i spotted 5 f2p things lol

Also every time you use cookie cleaning program (such as CCleaner) the page will appear before the original home page. As for the splash screen itself, It's very nice and really invites the players in.

gaaah f2p. (yeah everybody says "gaaah".)

1)Yeah, but people like being assured that it is free. Lots of games are "FREE" and then you see "You need to pay to download the patch that lets you play the game.".
2)They got a Guinness World Record for that.
3)There are millions of active players.
4)Well, think of it like this. 2 hours to download some other game, or 5 seconds to load up RuneScape.
5)Not many good ones.
6)It takes approximately 15,000 hours to do EVERYTHING in F2P. I feel sorry for Syzygy.
7)That is an opinion.
8)And so is that one.
