Hi,

Some years ago now there was quite a lot of talk about updating the character models, and there was some Mods uploading progress videos etc. on Youtube. But since then, we've heard nothing about it at all. And I think the lead designer for it quit if I am not mistaken. Correct me if I am wrong.

Just wondering if this is a project that's going to be picked up again? Not a super important update but the models are starting to look quite old, especially the faces have been looking odd for a long time. It would be a nice change seeing a more updated version of my character.

still sad, the longer they wait to do the avatar refresh the more outfits they put out and its going to take even more time.

id rather wait 6months and have no updates during that time to let them get it done. pssst....we know who you are. Hail Sithis!

I agree, would be nice for them to get it done before going onto other projects. I second that sentiment, I'd rather wait and have no updates for 6 months or so so that we can get updated character models. I think it would benefit the game, like Bruno said it will likely increase cosmetic sales and personally, I think that making the game look better overall and helping it all mesh as a coherent art style will help to sell the game to new players.

The issues with Avatar Refresh is they need significant changes in the Engine. It is a project with big involvement with the Engine team, which serves RS3, OSRS and other new Runesape franchise games in the making. Do you want no updates with Engine dependencies in all RS3, OSRS (e.g Sailing and 3PC features) and new RS Franchise games for 6 months?

It would be nice to get an update on new character models. It would be a big positive for the game in general to have modern models for what they earn from marketplace and other cosmetics and for players to have more choice in what they want their character to look like. And make the updated characters look good in low detail as well.

I am sure we will continue to have all those marvelous graphics updates we have with all kinds of remastered locations and NPC updates we have this year with our without Avatar Refresh.

For instance, we already have new human models, and Adrasteia is modelled after Mod Dragon.

The Misthalin questline is going to start early next year, so perhaps we will see more new human models and cosmetics that can be used for Avatar Refresh too.

I honestly did not like the new models they used in Legacy of Zamorak quest series.
Adrasteia looks a lot out of place in my opinion.

I also think most area's needs to get a update first the characters do not look that bad and out of place so far.
Dorgesh-Kaan and the goblins for example just screams update me!!!
