We knew Jagex was working on a game called Runescape Remastered according to Fukong's preview on Chinajoy. This is the description of the game:

"Runescape Remastered
Game Focus
- Takes place at the end of the 6th Age.
- Open more expansive world with the removal of the blocky grid-system/0.6 second tick system.
- Added height features and a more 3D world than RS3 (think of Skyrim).
- Allows for Offline skill training.
To be Determined
An ability to shapeshift into a variety of NPCs/content.
- Community oriented markets, cities, and other mechanics.
- World roaming bosses for PvM.
- Unique PvP interactions across the game world."


Since then, all indications have been this game is cancelled and Jagex is now working on a survival game, not an MMO anymore.

But what happened to the MMORPG work they have done to the former Runescape Remastered? Take a look at recent content of RS3:

"- Takes place at the end of the 6th Age.
(Done: we are official at the Age of Chaos, after the 6th Age)

- Open more expansive world with the removal of the blocky grid-system/0.6 second tick system.
(somewhat happening. We will have a 0.3 second tick system instead of a total removal of it)

- Added height features and a more 3D world than RS3 (think of Skyrim).
(somewhat happening. We are already getting more 3D graphics and VFX, and Jmods showed us they can be as tall as Solak and Vorago)

- Allows for Offline skill training.
To be Determined
An ability to shapeshift into a variety of NPCs/content.
- Community oriented markets, cities, and other mechanics.
(Got Fort Forinthry already)

- World roaming bosses for PvM.
- Unique PvP interactions across the game world."


We can easily see many of the major RS Remastered content is beginning to show up on RS3 recently. What do you like to see next? I will like to get shapeshifting next, and playable races if possible.

Of the list, I'd like to see
* more in-world, low to mid level bosses,
* several alternative playable races
Never uses treasure hunter keys. Never buys runecoins or bonds. Never pays extra for 'Premier' status or passes. Never will.

So that means it requires better hardware to run?


Absolutely not. It is not call Runescape
Remastered
for no reason. It is about bringing old time content to the modern game industry standards.

When Runescape Remastered was pitched in China where most players use low end gaming hardware and technologies, it should give us the idea there is nothing needed in hardware.

They said world roaming bosses. I think they are probably more like the WoW style World Bosses. They are super high level bosses that require an army to kill, and they move from city to city, perhaps like the Megaduck. :D

I am thinking what "skill training" can mean to RS3.

We are getting even more bxp just but staying online now, especially with passive bxp gain from the Town Hall of our player owned Fort. Perhaps in the future, we can burn off this bxp when we are in the lobby? It sounds good to me.

PvP anywhere in RS3 can be implemented relatively easily with the opt-in pvp mechanism in Wilderness.

This will make RS3 pvp more like the faction based pvp in gameslike WoW. I will be happy to see factions in RS3, maybe clan vs clan warfare too.
