Old School RuneScape has been in existence for quite a while. The original game released in 2001 has been through the ages and many gamers still consider it to be among the top games available in the MMORPG genre. There are many reasons why players continue to enjoy the games with OSRS Accounts, its graphics aren't among the reasons. Recently, a player of the game trying to upgrade the graphics in the game encountered an unexpected challenge from game's creators.

While Jagex is the developer of RuneScape continues to introduce new features to Old School RuneScape, one modder dubbed"117" is involved in a fan project dubbed Runelite HD. The large-scale visual mod to the game was designed to provide an overhaul to the game's old visuals. Following the release of this project many players have been waiting eagerly to test the mod themselves. Unfortunately, it will never happen because Jagex has closed the project before the release date.

The company notified 117 of the mode's shutdown and also gave the reason behind the decision. According to RuneScape creators the studio is currently making their own versions with HD graphics to be used in the game. Jagex has this to speak about their work on changing the graphics in the game: "We look forward to sharing developments as our own in-house development using Old School's visuals develops."

The group 117 tried to reach an agreement in negotiations with developers. As per the author they requested that they could negotiate that the Runelite HD mod could go live as long as Jagex was done with its own visual enhancement to the game. For 117. however. The studio turned down the request. Although it appears that the Runelite HD mod appears to conform to the company's guidelines on mods, the developer has stated that it will alter the rules within the next week in order to reflect the company's decision to end developing third-party mods for visuals.

This unanticipated move by the team behind Jagex has not been received well with players who play the MMORPG. In the wake of this announcement, a variety of protests in the game are being initiated by members who are part of the game's community. They include gatherings of players in central spots within the game that resemble the sit-ins during World of Warcraft.

It's understandable why this decision by the developers might cause some anger in the community. The developer of this mod Runelite HD mod had worked on the project for about 2.000 hours over a period of about two years. Old School RuneScape remains a very popular MMORPG However, the news about the shutting down of fan-run projects poses the risk of making players to quit the game. It will be interesting to see if Jagex decides to release their version of an HD update or changing its course to accommodate the discontented players instead.

As with many MMOs the in-game items and gold in RuneScape are now precious commodities, with individuals and businesses trading in the items for real money. The trading of items in the game is considered to be a violation of the rules and could lead to being banned, but it can also be profitable for players playing RuneScape to earn cash. This is why a number of players have discovered ways to get around the rules.

The two versions of RuneScape provide player-versus-player combat through a variety of PvP options, including one known as"the Duel Arena. If a player with OSRS Fire Cape For Sale is killed during the Duel Arena, the winning player gets everything that the character who was defeated as the reward.
