Alrite the new update of Runescape homepage overall its nice but some graphics like the characters look rather childish or rather kidish and also the new in game layout sucks to the max as compared to previous layout and reason is too ugly and rather mono type of feeling the friend list, inventory all the new look one word sucks, heres a screenshot.

I hate it. It's like they took the icon idea from wow-type downloadable games.

Overall I think they ruined the ingame interface - its a medieval game, so why the hell would you make everything metallic unless you're going to change all of the ingame content? Is this their attempt at forcing a change on the game since mechscape was a flop?

Revolution my ass.

Especially the part where it says "Welcome to the World of Runescape" so copycat from WoW

Amazing, a while ago I was seeing the ugly homepage now it seems Jagex updated their homepage again, go see

The way they were boasting about this, I was expecting something better.

It's such a typical mmo website design. It reeks of un-originality in just about every aspect.

I like the new color scheme, but that's about it.
Seriously, though, they were stupid enough to change the logo? Having a rune of "R" and "S" has been their thing for a decade, it's what you burn into the ground with a Completionist cape, but now it's... that?

I kind of wish that they would revert back to an older layout. Something where I'm more used to and not always scrambling to open different screens.

Like this:

This is one of those evolutions. Your discomfort with a change will pass, and you will grow to not mind it as much as anything else.

I for one, like the new interface after i got used to the tab's different icons.

Survival doesn't involve blatantly saying ' you' to your existing community in order to pull in new, short-term members. This shows Jagex's new owners have turned the company into everything the founders didn't want - a run-for-short-term-profit rather than long term profits and relations with the community. Notice how in Andrew Gower's new site that's one of the key criteria for his new company? They let larger companies take too much control in the business and now they're all completely out of it.

There's a difference from evolving and simply trying to squeeze some money out of an investment before discarding it as a used carcass and moving on to the next big thing.

I don't feel they can call themselves the largest free mmo anymore, considering they're bullying and pressuring the free community to pay for game content. Already those playing on free accounts are isolated in terms of achievement - there is no way to display their levels/exp outside of the game. This wasn't the case before - they changed the Hiscores lite look up to include player stats, even if they didn't rank. Now, they simply throw a 404 page. Unless they've made a new way to gather it, I've found no way to get f2p user levels/exp.

They're isolating and alienating their Free community with all of their recent updates ingame and now to the site. Just like every other mmo. This is a big change for RuneScape and its community.

I don't support it and intend to let my account die following the end of my membership. After playing since 2004, I feel it is no longer in my interests to put up with the new direction of the site being imposed on the community. Atleast the Gowers had the sense to leave RSC behind for those who didn't want to endure the vast changes imposed with rs2 - What about this apparent rs3?
