Because of this, I *strongly* believe Jagex won't launch a new RuneScape without a large majority, or all, of players progress and bank intact.

Well, from what Jagex had itself said in the survey, they are indeed learning from the EoC and OSRS debacle by doing the exact opposite this time. Instead of changing RS3 to New Runescape, which some players may not like, and then later bringing back RS3 to which players could move, but only by losing all their progress...

everyone's progress will stay intact while continuing to play RS3, but if you want to play the New RuneScape, then you have to start over.

It's like the old joke from Russia: Under Capitalism, there is the exploitation of man by man. Under Communism, it is exactly the opposite.

I think that Jagex has learned the wrong thing from the EoC debacle. Yes, players get upset at losing progress. However, while a big minority of players may still want to play the same old game they're used to, an even bigger group of players, the majority, likely will want to move to the latest and greatest.

So even more players are going to be upset this time, I fear.

Now, that's not necessarily true. If playing New RuneScape does not mean doing slightly modified versions of all the same quests over again, then starting over from the beginning means starting a new game, not doing stuff over again. There are many other factors and details that may change the picture.

Will they reveal more about Runescape Remastered during next Runefest?
If they plan to reveal the project officially to us this year, it will be at RuneFest.

Mod Osborne has said, several times by now, that there are a lot of big things planned to be revealed at RuneFest which we know nothing about, and which Jagex won't officially talk about until then.

He does know that the wider player base is aware of "RuneScape Remastered" and the various leaks, and it has been referenced in rare moments on stream (though never explicitly), as it's no huge secret any more. We know about the project informally and unofficially. Officially, the project hasn't been announced yet, and they cannot discuss the project in any degree of detail until it's been formally announced.

RuneFest is the best opportunity Jagex have to reconcile what we actually know with what we're supposed to know, as well as a chance for Jagex to really explain what the project is, why we should be excited about it, how Jagex plan for the game to co-exist with RS3 (or not), and answer many more questions.

The removal of the tick system sounds good. I just hope it doesn't look or play similarly to Skyrim because TBH, Skyrim wasn't that great, at least to me. I sort of hope it still holds the same art style and is still bright and fun like it is now.

I don't care if our character isn't transferred, as long as we have some cool canon reference in the story line about our character I always love when games reference themselves, to really show that 'we' had an impact on Runescape.

I'd be happy to see what a new Runescape would like and I really hope it would have all the skills like we do now, that's what keeps me playing. It wouldn't be Runescape without the skills.

They didn't learn anything.

I have read a lot of the comments on here and I am not going to quote all of those that this response is directed to. I will simply say this :

Instead of acting like Runescape exists in some kind of bubble or alternate universe and that Jagex as a company does not have the same imperatives as every other gaming company on the planet try a different perspective.

How would another iteration of Runescape which takes place fairly far in the future from where we are now in RS3 be any different to any other game franchise? You only have to look at console games to see all the different series and each one starts fresh. New story, new character, new stuff etc, etc. I know that there is a new one of these each year or every other year in many cases, and that means that less time is invested (for the most part) in growing your character and acquiring stuff. Runescape for most of us is an endeavour of many years. That does not make the comparison invalid.

I see this as being more similar to that scenario than the change from click-wait-yawn-repeat combat to abilities. That change was made because the game had reached it's limits pretty much in what could be done with it inside that system. It is explicitly stated in the quote in the OP that this is
not
RS4 they are talking about. Yet everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to put it down. Maybe it will work and maybe it won't. If it comes out you can play it or not as you choose. Just like the new COD or whatever on console.

Is this going to be the same game as rs3 or will these be an entirely new MMORPG because if we're playing on the same servers this would be one of the biggest updates happening to runescape since eoc. If you read any of the posts on this thread, even on PAGE ONE, you wouldn't be asking this question.

no offense but if you look at the long history of jagex you will see literally anything they create that is not plain old runescape (or oldschool, which is a fork from vanilla runescape) literally dies within a few years (sometimes less).

original jagex games
mechscape
stellar dawn
war of legends
funorb (MANY GAMES, arcanists, armies of gielinor HUGE DEV TIME WASTED)
runescape chronicle
transformers universe (WOW!!! HUGE FRANCHISE)
ace of spades
8realms
darkscape
herotopia
RUNESCAPE IDLE ADVENTURES (rip, never even got to play it lol?!)
POSSIBLY MORE

like honestly at this point it is just throwin money in the trash can. maybe they hook line sinker you guys into coughing up some dough but it is almost INEVITABLE that whatever else they develop hit the chopping block. who knows why they keep trying but you should not expect anything to materialize from this and IF IT DOES know that it will most likely not make it past 5-10 years (rip funorb, never even advertised but ONE TIME on this site)

sorry jagex but as a smart customer i have no faith in your ability to sell anything other than your main course here. please stop wasting time on these failed spinoffs that inevitably die and give us some real updates in the main game. TWO QUESTS SO FAR IN 2018 THIS IS CRAZY???

so if you have not heard any news then GOOD. maybe it means they are not going to waste even more money on a hopeless project that will not be here in the future like basically any other successful game in the world. i for one am getting real tired of their experiments to make quick cash then gut a game out with no support or advertisement until it becomes a financial deadweight they have to shut down.
