Runescape designer Jagex has put an end the development of Runelite HD, a fan-made HD mod to the popular online client, which is an open-source project for OSRS gold Old School Runescape, just when the project was set to launch on Monday. The decision was made at the eleventh hour, and has some Runescape players disliking Jagex's decision . They've also said they'll move to other MMOs.
Runelite HD designer "117" posted on Reddit Tuesday to share the message he got from Jagex and was later confirmed by Jagex in the company's blog article. Runelite HD operates as a plugin that would give an impressive visual overhaul to the original Runescape which can be found by 117's Twitter. Moderator 117 also said that they have spent approximately 2,000 hours over the last two years working on Runelite HD.
"Yesterday we reached out to the developers of well-known HD projects and asked that they stop developing their projects, because it's a project we are currently investigating directly," Jagex stated. Jagex addressed 117 with the news that it was working on an HD rendition of Old School Runescape was "still fairly early in the exploration stage" but "very far from being finished."
"Naturally this means that any fan-driven project that is attempting to alter the way Old School RuneScape appears is not in line with our plans," Jagex wrote to 117. "We believe it's vital that there's a consistency with regards to the way Old School appears and therefore we're trying to ensure that our official changes are the only ones that are available.
Hope that the news about the fact that Jagex as well as the Old School team are tackling this endeavor with a seriousness is something that buy RS gold you are excited about even though it could require us to respectfully request that you stop your personal projects."
