The update looks marvelous. I can't wait for it to be live. Please don't discount some of the other cities that have been longing for a graphical update. I like Falador as it is, don't get me wrong, but it seems to have been neglected whereas Varrock, Rimmington, Burthrope/Taverly, and now Al Kharid are being refined. Great job so far, but please, get to all of the cities! Falador and Ardougne for sure!!
Oh yeah, Yanille still looks exactly as it did 7 years ago haha, please strike there. You guys are talented at what you do, and I can't wait until all of Runescape has undergone this new look.
Keep up the good work Jagex! :)

Mod Engstrom:
''its been a very popular area''
Explain to me please, how is Al-Kharid popular?
It is if you count the bots from Sorceress garden, besides that the city is dead content.
It used to be popular with the furnace and mining spot, but we gotten a few furnaces in the last couple of years that are closer to banks, so that makes the one in Al-Kharid useless. The mining iron spot of 3 in a circle got nerfed a while back aswell.
I dont really understand why you put so much effort in an area where actually nobody comes besides bots...
Besides that the graphics looks cool and I will be checking out the update on release date for a couple of mins.
PS: Do we get this update this week or do we get it next week because we did not get the Hunter D&D yet?

My only questions...
1) How will dial up internet function in the area, even on low detail
2) Will all existing quests still work in the new area? Will we see any quests removed from the game or will everything be fine
3) Does this mean that a new quest will be added to free-play, as Al-Kharid is a free play area and it seems very unfair to cut them out.
4) Can you move that little gate to Al-Kharid thats being removed, to the varrock Museum :)

Awesome update! But guys seriously did Al-kharid really need a graphical update? I mean some places are in even more need for updates and they still look very old, see for example Canifis, that area needs an update and so do the werewolves, we already saw a modern model of the werewolf why dont all of them look like that? Also, there is Keldagrim the dwarven city, the dwarves seriously need an update and you already have new models for them plus the city looks very very...old. Then there is the cave goblin city it looks pretty old too and the goblins there have very old models. Also I saw a new model for normal goblins, when are they all going to look like that? And lets not forget u guys still need to make the elven city and some egyptian styled cities near sophanem. There is soo much crap that needs fixing! Stop adding stuff to the list! lol now im not urging u guys to update that stuff asap but if you have some kind of list made make sure to add this stuff to em.
