Camel lot mount dealership for warped camel uganthki mount. Ali morrisanes camel lot dealership. I want to buy a camel for my player owned house too. More camel gear. And a silly camel mount like my other mount.

All of this right next door to Camelot castle.

Please no! Camel propaganda got those rediculous Camel warriors that no one bothers with, in game. :P
Check out Thieves guild layout redesign. Happy ‘scaping

I don't recall Jagex ever confrimed a Seer/Cammy rework was in the making.


It was featured in a showcase three years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRHxKnxNnjI&t=2816s

Mentioned on the forums here: Seers' Village Rework


Seems from the video it was just a vague idea and they said there was not much to rework actually because of the lack of lore. The last comment of the forum thread you linked also confirmed that the idea didn't even get off the ground:

"I'm locking this up, as we are not working on this at the time being.

Indeed.

It wasn't necessarily that vague, but it was more akin to the Catherby rework in that it wasn't tied to any lore as such. Mod AOB actually did some work on updating the buildings graphically, as shown on his Twitter page at the time, and he confirmed on Reddit that some work was outsourced. There was also a few other threads on here asking for opinions on the proposed layout changes and for any lore critiques/suggestions players had. AOB has since stated that the rework was shelved due to other commitments, and it has remained on the shelf ever since.

It's a shame it wasn't released - as originally projected, it would have been close on the heels of the Catherby rework. It seems that they want to tie any Graphical rworks of the area to something, be that skill or quest related.

Actually from the video, they only called for minor graphics updates too. They did that with Catheby already. The only thing they planned but didn't do was actually just the makeover of the Camelot Castle and make the lodestone closer to it. I don't see how "important" it is anyway as hardly anybody visit the Cammy Castle.

Let's be clear - this was a planned rework of Seers' and Camelot. But I do agree that Camelot in itself was questionable, particularly as it's hardly visited (Quests and maybe Thieving training) and at the time of the video, players and certain Mods had floated the idea of removing Camelot Castle anyway (as referenced in the video).

Consider the "planned rework" done then since Jmods found no lore to make the rework worthy, asked for lore in the video and the forums, but came up with nothing worthy... so the plan didn't find its way to Runefest or any dev blogs.

They can't just remove Camelot Castle though as there are still quests tied to it. It sounds quite strange to move the Round Table outside the Castle though. :D

Exactly. That whole suggestion would have created more problems than solutions - I'm glad it remains in game.
