  Think it’s gonna be any good? I’m too young to have grown up with RuneScape so I don’t know what to expect.

    We’ll have to wait until it’s out to see. The statement that they want to minimize grind? Hoooooly crap, that’s the exact opposite of what RS was. To get to the higher levels and max a skill, it was basically a mental game of sticking to the best xp/tick strategies, which could still take a month or more to max one skill. That was after they had introduced a bunch of new things. The original days? It was a third job on top of it being the second job to do it in months.

    It was also really fun for being so simplistic and had a good mix of self-aware humor, so I have hope for their new game.

      Let’s not forget that once you get to 92

      … You’re halfway to 99!

  Is this the same guy who launched the new RuneScape and was shocked when people stuck to the old version?

    I don’t think so. I think Gower left Jagex before Runescape 3

      I mean, they’re somewhat right, if they’re talking about RS Classic -> RS2…

      but yeah, he left before RS3

  I’m always excited for games based on completing specific, well written quests. I’m fairly optimistic for this.
