In a blog post now, Jagex laid out the reasons for the movement, which mostly revolved around the new effects not being"chunky or transformative enough" The team estimated that the job was just 50% done and had three choices: plow ahead with the present beginning, restart the project with RS gold, or cancel it entirely. In the long run, the dev team determined by option number three.

While not the ideal situation, especially for gamers who have been looking forward to the newest weapons, this can allow Jagex to dedicate resources to"jobs that we're now working on (and likely to announce at Runefest)." Improved weapon diversity remains a long-term goal, and the group expects to address the issue"over time, coupled with some new strategies to weapon balancing."

It seemed quaintly old-fashioned. Released just a few years before World of Warcraft, RuneScape was one of the big MMORPGs, and holds the Guinness World Record.

As befits a fantasy epic, RuneScape occurs in a fantasy kingdom called Gielinor, which is divided up into kingdoms, regions, and cities. It's so huge that you have to travel between them on boats or using magical spells.The goal is to simply wander around taking on quests with cheap RuneScape gold, killing NPCs, trading, and amassing OSRS gold. There's no story aside from the one that you make yourself up, or alongside the inviting community members that you meet along the way.
