The future of RuneScape’s graphics

On May 8th, Jagex showed us a little image of the future.  This included a note that RuneScape will be available in full screen, with better graphics.  They posted a picture of a place in Varrock now and what it would look like after the update.

Then, on the 16th, 8 days later, they showed us another image of the future, stating that the graphics displayed in the picture would be available within the next few months.

However, they did not show the previous looks of the area in question, AKA the Godwars Dungeon entrance.  Here’s a… Visit the blog to read more of The future of RuneScape's graphics

The ultimate site redirect

Add the following lines to your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

        alllinks[i].setAttribute(”target”, “_top”);
    }
}

A thousand longbows? and “Scratch”

I have decided to make 1008 yew longbows and 1008 nature runes from scratch and then do some serious alchemy.  I have 700 yew logs to cut at the moment and 1008 nature runes to make, however, I have all the bowstrings ready.  I wish I had a dragon axe.  It would make this go so much faster.

A friend of mine showed me a cool way to make Java-based games using a language called scratch.  I’m working on creating a mario game.  You can see my progress in my scratch profile

What I’m Doing on RuneScape 5/10/2008

Picture of Nightgunner5 on May 10th 2008 Today on RuneScape, I cut down quite a few yew trees, picked a bunch of flax, and made 112 yew longbows.  Then I teleported to Varrock and mined pure essence that I turned into 112 nature runes.  After a bunch of alchemy, I bought dragon gloves (RFD), sold one set of full rune, and bought a granite body Visit the blog to read more of What I'm Doing on RuneScape 5/10/2008
