RuneScape can be run with high or low-detail graphics; high-detail mode enhances texture and design, whereas low-detail provides a cleaner look and can reduce lag on older or less powerful computers. RuneScape’s graphics have gone through two major overhauls, the latter of which has yet to be completed. The first update was the release of RS2.
The second, gradual overhaul began in February 2005, starting with several towns in the free-to-play area. When the engine was updated on May 16, 2006, allowing graphics of higher quality than before, the pace accelerated. So far, most of the free-to-play area has been updated, as well as some member’s only areas and a large number of NPCs.
In May 2008, JaGEx announced plans for a major graphical update. The most noticeable changes will be a full-screen mode, the addition of textures and shadows, and an increased level of detail.To avoid causing difficulty for players with lower-performance computers, the updates will take the form of a third detail mode alongside the current low and high detail modes.JaGEx stated in a news item released on 2 June that “the major graphical improvement in early July… [is] one of the most complex releases we’ve ever attempted.”
RuneScape features a character-customization system. Unlike many MMORPGs, player characters are always human; however, players can choose the gender and a variety of hairstyles and colours, body types, facial features, skin colour and clothing options. Appearance is further complemented by wearing or wielding items. Standard weapons of the same class, such as swords, use the same set of animations in combat; however, a few special weapons have their own, distinctive animations.
Players can be transformed temporarily into objects, plants or animals, depending on the circumstances. These “morphs” sometimes allow players to avoid negative gameplay effects or access otherwise unreachable areas; however, they restrict certain normal activities.
Players can also express emotions through the use of specialized animations called emotes, some of which are standard and others earned through gameplay or released during holiday events.
