2013 Podcast Summary:
The Rite of Passage Podcast could be found on the Runescape Podbean page or on Youtube, google "Rite of Passage podcast" to find it on the 1st link.
- Rite of Passage is the final title
- Takes place on the Aviansie Homeworld Abbinah
- Abbinah is a harsh location, consisting of floating islands hovering over an unstable chaotic core, not an idealistic view of floating islands
- Players help a young aviansie participate in the Rite of Passage, which at a basic level involves getting water from core, “there’s obviously a lot more to it”
- Player will traverse between floating islands, navigate in “free-form pattern”, you can choose which islands to go to, not a linear dungeon so to speak
- Exploring a new world and the feelings of exploration associated with this is important
- Linza features (Planned to be Xenia originally)
SCRAPPED
- May be other recognisable characters (Doesn’t want to spoil)
- “I’m sure there may be references” (On meeting Armadyl)
- There’s a change in Abbinah due to 6th age, big focus of quest
- Lore etc “hidden” around the world, in hidden areas etc, kind of like Memoriam crystals I suppose.
- Requirements in the 30s (intermediate?) Agility and Divination mentioned.
- High level post-quest content from levels 40 to 80 in skills for exploring blocked off areas, story content and other rewards hidden here. Planned to have something special for level 80s.
- Plan is to introduce optional combat scaling, play original 30s difficulty or toggle on scaling if you want hard combat suited for your level. No reward for putting on scaling, just for people who want the challenge. (Might not be in final product)
- Definitely voice-acted (this may no longer be the case)
- “Quite big reveals we’ve not even touched on”, “We’ve only touched on the first third of the quest” (we know a bit more now e.g. it focuses on artefacts)
- Early stage of development (hehe)
- Original launch was to be late 2013.
