I can't say for sure yet but so far from what I've seen from zeah, the extra detail that you tried to put in just makes it look bad. I can't say for sure as I haven't played in those areas yet but I'm hoping with the next batch you keep things looking old school. I'm sure you can make it look bad ass even with an old school theme. this

also, why are cows, lesser demons, imps etc. still not reverted to correct grapics? It's just silly. If you have the christmas imps, then how hard would it really be to add back regular imps?

As to the suggestion of updated graphics. Ugh. I like (really, really, really like) having a character that looks like it does and keeps RS feeling as though it's a classic game (which it is). this

I don't want to start on a negative, but I hate working with others, I like being a loner so I will not like the raids,and actually that sounds like WOW doesn't it? I don't remember a vote on this, did we have one.
Also I have no interest in clans, and don't we have enough bosses,lol. And if we do gotta have more bosses, do they really gotta be a remake of Jad or another boss?
..Cant they be brand new bosses if we must have them?
Is raiding just for fun and profit or is it a mini game or something?..

Sigh..im excited for Zeah but don't like a lot of the things i'm reading..sorry this
People like you are cancer to this game. People that keep wanting Oldschool Runescape to stay 2007 and not move on and improve. It should be known by now that they can't release too many details about Zeah. That's just not good marketing, which you, and everyone else, should respect. Albeit, this is Oldschool you have to understand they can't do anything without money. (p.s, we need HD graphics.)

i feel like people just don't read my comments about the HD graphics... I legit said like 3 times in my post to add it as an option so that way you people who dont want them can still play on oldschool graphics but also allow us that actually have good pc's and like the look of HD graphics can play on it.

Just awful

More content we don't need where you can put in good content on fronts where it's necessary. Splitting the game into more parts which you've done over this year aswell.

There's just so much that's going to have to be watched\maintained to keep other things valued in the game, which obviously they're not going to be let's face it.

This...

The thing i love about osrs bosses is that they can ALL (yes, even corp if you sweat your bum off) be solo'd. I understand there are people who really enjoy being able to work as a group and such, and i don't want to be selfish to say i don't want it at all either, so here's my hopes:
Don't make the raid bosses drop armour pieces, instead make them drop shards (less if solo'd) which will be needed to make the gear. Also, make em scale the difficulty to the amount of people who are fighting it. These two things would make it so everyone can keep enjoying bossing the way they personally want to.

Besides that, i'm absolutely looking forward to 2016. I'm superhyped for Zeah. Can't wait to have discovered a whole new continent by next year.

Happy newyear to all btw

@I KMS Daily
Calling them "a cancer to the game" is very rude...it's just so childish to completely dismiss someone else's opinion like that on the forums instead of trying to understand it. Shame on you. We're all here expressing our own opinions just like you are. I hope you realize that.

People need to realize Zeah was polled BEFORE F2P and a lot of people joining, so a big chunk probably didn't vote on Zeah or even want it. It's silly of Jagex to not have repolled it after a big shift in the community this past year and a half.

I think it's terrible marketing to not mention details on Zeah, considering the fact this is a community-driven game and it only exists in the first place because we voted on it. We have had so much transparency and say in what goes into the game, even to the point of players designing some of the content. I would think for the biggest piece of content yet we would get some more transparency.

Breaking our trust would be the most stupid marketing move they could do since they realized the big shiny EoC thing didn't work on us and they still needed us. When we voted on Zeah awhile ago (year and a half?) I'm sure a lot of us expected to hear more details...not to vote on a Pandora's Box and just wait and see what pops out of it.

We've had one poll so far for the two new RC altars. Thanks for that Jagex, but nothing was polled in December except the silly Christmas blog/poll which we all knew was going to pass already. I'm pretty disappointed they didn't spend any time writing Zeah blogs or polling what was coming. More or less now that it's become a last minute thing.

If they start adding content without the blogs and polls then the mold that held this game together is gone for me. It means they didn't learn their lesson after a decade of ignoring what their playerbase wanted.

TLDR:

I'm excited for Zeah as long as everything is explained in blogs and polled beforehand.

I remember Mod Mark admitting their biggest mistake and why RS2 failed was something along the lines of "we were always so busy working on the next big thing that we should have spent time fixing what was already there."

Those last 2 min. of that video was so sincere to me, I can't post links or web ad but just type in "story time with mod ash" and it's the first video there (1:03:28 long).

Basically the end part of the video is my analogy for Zeah. I know we need updates and new content to keep the game alive, but I would like to see a better balance of new vs fixing content we already have. The skillcape perks was a great start in revitalizing old content, let's keep that type of stuff flowing!

Just a quick thought i came up with this morning, it may be a bad idea and be cast out but it could also be a good idea. So i was thinking, what if you guys brought out prestiging skill's, I know alot of people won't like the idea, in my 13 years of playing ive never made it to 99 in any skill, but what if say a person could reset their 99 to level 1 and start again, but not for nothing, say the exp you get on that skill is doubled, so its not as hard to get 99 a second time round, however, i know by the people i play with once theyve spent all that time getting to 99 they dont know what to do next and become bored then stop playing for a ridiculous amount of time, so you can imagine how the people who have maxed feel, sure they can go bossing and what not, but think about it, when your not levelling anymore what do you do? So i thought hey what if you could prestige your skill? So to expand on the idea, say you get to 99 again in that skill what if you could get a full set (instead of just the cape and hood) that is dedicated to that skill, so 99* (Take the star as prestige) in slayer, you get a full set, and this then gives you a full slayer set effect (Equipped with the slayer helm otherwise the slayer helm would become obsolete and we dont want that

), what does this do then? So maybe the full set effect for slayer (Incase you didnt realise slayer is my favorite skill

) you can persuade your slayer master to give you a better task, but only once rather then spending points, but also that full slayer set whilst fighting your slayer task will increase your accuracy with and type of combat (mage, range and melee) maybe even give that damage type a buff. So to summarise this idea is very broad, there is a lot of things you could do with it, my ideas might not be the best, but i think it could keep people playing and keep the game interesting, but please dont make it to change the pvp world, that would be ridiculous. Thank you to anyone who reads this

. The ways of one, are not to fit the ways of many.

@NOHOPE IV

Well wrong section of the forums and a wall of text, I would recommend some paragraphs to help people read what you write. Other than that...

Lots of similarities with the Prestige System Jagex mentioned a couple years back, hope you're not trolling, otherwise a big coincidence. Anyway it brought a lot of negative energy onto the forums and didn't end well. It came down to a hiscores that has no end, and devalues everyone who went past 99 in a skill.

I honestly don't see it coming to OSRS as we have many game modes now. I know your post is slightly different than the original system, but I think the idea itself helped segue having an Ironman Mode with a separate hiscores. There is also Deadman Mode now if you want a PVP challenge, I guess on there you could get all 99's and have someone kill you a few times to reset your lvls.

We just got skillcape perks last month, I don't see Jagex expanding on skillcapes anymore for awhile. Well being this is Game-modescape now maybe Jagex could do a Prestige mode with a separate hiscores just for the heck of it now lol. They have to wait a year though we just had a new game mode come out recently!

So we got raids (that rs3 implemented not to long ago): this seems like a copy of rs3 raids.
New jad caves/boss: also added in rs3, same idea, just copy rs3.
Fire pits: ALSO added to rs3 to make firemaking afk.
Clans: they failed to be core gameplay and turned out to be ways to get extra exp in skills, no real clan feel, just extra exp from interactions with citadels.

Sounds like a bunch of bad ideas waiting to come to the game. sadly osrs doesnt like new original content, they seem to like to copy rs3 :/
