MM2 and fight caves 2 etc looks neat due to the fact it's oldschool continuation. Zeah looks like an awful rs3 update. Stop calling things that are new oldschool.

Meh .. this doesn't look good tbh


There's just too much coming as of late that's too different, and who's to say it's not the smartest thing you do for the game , but as someone who's played for over 10 years this is just .. ugly.

I'm sure they'll maintain the old school feel with the new continent, just like they'd maintain the Old School feel with MM2 and Fight Caves 2.

Usually wouldn't log in too comment but I feel is is only right too say that runescape is finally headed in the RIGHT DIRECTION. I have been playing runescape off and on since 2005. This is the way old school runescape was supposed to be from the beginning back in 2007.

GREAT job to the developer's. Best set of updates I have saw potentially in my runescape career. Applaud yourselves because you deserve too

Couldn't agree more, I'm really excited.

I'm inclined to agree. I get the feeling that this will have the same problems Dungeoneering and Ancient Curses had; if you don't use the new equipment and prayers (and in the case of Zeah, new spells) you're at a gargantuan disadvantage to the point of being practically ineffective compared to those who do. That, and I'm terrified of power creep ruining any semblance of balance in the game.

What happened to 28 items? It should be 28 items not stacks.

I thougt it was 28 items too lol. Well, this kind of kills skilling. I for one would not be willing to lose 3k sharks + 2k yews + 100's of potions + Rune stacks + the most valuable items I have, for example, due to dying once.

If it's 28 STACKS the restriction doesn't even matter. It takes AGES to collect so much valuable stuff that one would be unable to fit all their real goods in one inv.

99att + 99str dds one iteming, here I come lol.

I was plannig to make skiller, because reasons. That 28 items could have made that possible, because i would have huge stacks of junky items and i would never lose my coins.

Some thoughts:

- It was first said in Q&A that Zeah will be partly F2P - is this still the case when all the skill houses require P2P skills?

- I'm really disappointed that one construction QoL update was completely removed, namely the removal of furniture delete confirmation... Construction has absolutely nothing to do with XP rates anymore, it's a skill that you use RWT/ALT money to buy resources with (resources that are mostly botted). It makes absolutely no sense to fight against GUI interface as the form of construction training and therefore the removal of the confirmation should be polled despite it increasing the XP rates (that already are so high as to make it beyond joke as a skill).

- Interesting idea for Achievement gallery but how long till the true achievements of RS are displayed more openly? I'm requesting different colored trims for skillcapes when player reaches 200m in a skill.

What is this nonsense? It's PvP world, why would you even go there to make a skiller? The whole point is to kill skilling, it's not just another game mode where you can compete in hiscores in the same exact ways as you would compete in here. In other words: it's not another competition reset but a new mode with different strategies.

You just don't collect stacks of items and you would lose the XP anyway, so perhaps the better way would be to play defensive/offensive.
