Hello, I am a returning player after a 2 years break, and as much as I am enjoying this game, I would like to know if there are any plans for updating the npc and character graphics. I mean, the world, the landscapes look great (although maybe a little more detail is needed on the ground) but the npc and character graphics need improvement. I would love to see every npc and our player get to at least Merethiel level (she looks great!). Specially ncps that haven't been updated in more than a decade, like the Ape Atoll monkeys, some of the zombies (like in Rum's Deal). Perhaps add more polygons and shading to the existing npc models. I just finished Diamonds in the Rough and the only npc I liked, graphics wise, was Lady Keli. Ozan, leela and Osman could do with better looking hands and faces, in my opinion.

Well, I hope some Jmod reads this post and lets me know if there are any plans at all to update npc and character graphics any time soon.

Cheers.

I look forward to it. Maybe at least the undead will be graphically updated, I guess.

I don't doubt many undead will be updated graphically comes Necromancy. We already have new glowing skeletons and phantoms with Unwelcome Guests. We are also going to have Skeletal Trex, the 4th Rex Matriach soon:

BTW, even when RS3 artists will be extremely busy with assigned Necromacy, Fort Forinthry projects and a lot more this year, they have the luxury to work on some of their GameJam dream projects too. For example, we are going to get new goblin and new player outfit models probably later this month, thanks to RS3 GameJam projects:

Somewhere, in a far-distant galaxy, they have updated models for things like scorpions, brown bears, a few fairy models and spiders. If they get released or not is another question entirely.

It's be kinda nice to see some of the regular people around the game receive a lick of paint, Maybe it's a Yuck Track thing? I mean, that brought in a whole bunch of character/NPC updates. Argy/Yanille guard outfits would be great, and a great chance to use the assets elsewhere.

And yeah, they have teased goblins, as well as new floor textures, updates to some dungeons, and a full rework to the Necromancer's Tower. The old one is just so bad.

RS3 is moving to 3D modelling like most of the modern games. We probably will be in full 3D modes in the future, but incrementally and not all in one batch.

Eventually we will have Avatar Refresh and all 3D NPCs in RS3 when the remastered engine is polished more.

Honestly I would love an opportunity to toggle between different graphics styles. Im sure alot of people love it, but most of the new NPCs just dont feel like Runescape anymore. I avoid the wizards tower at all costs now because it just bums me out. Obviously if I wanted old graphics I could play old school so thats not what I mean, I just wish I could step back an update or two with some of those characters. I like the NPCs that still feel like the current player model. Thats Runescape for me

I'd really like to see Black unicorns updates. I love how majestic the regular unicorns (including Starlight) looks but please do not touch Ruantun! (The vampire who lives in the sewers of Draynor)

Some of the characters featured in the Dead and Buried quest have been graphically updated (we won't tell you which, to avoid spoilers)!


More familiar NPC get their graphics updated, with more fitting costumes too.
