    Default Runescape adds a cash shop and Evolution of Combat due in a few months

    Been playing this again since my main decent comp broke and have been on a crappier one. (Hope I get it fixed in time for Planetside 2, among other games)

    http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Solomon's_General_Store

    Adds costumes, weapon skins, titles, and animations for skills and other such stuff.





    Hopefully somewhere down the line this means they'll drop the subscription in favor of more micro-transactions.

    Also, that combat overhaul was stated to be added in September. I'm eagerly awaiting it as one of the last remaining open-pvp games will finally have decent combat.



    For the usual occurrence of people hopping on when a game is posted, here's somethings you may want to know:

    There's now a 14 day trial of member's with a completely over-hauled tutorial for new accounts.

    First month of members is $2 right now (new accounts only and I -believe- it's still going on)

    There's a refer-a-friend where you can get double exp in all skills for 7 days and/or up to level 30 in all skills. (If you want me to refer you send a PM)

    There's bloom lighting, voice-acting in some of the newer quests, graphics getting better all the time really.

    That's all, have fun guys.

    I've been playing for the past couple of months, and will probably continue playing casually until EoC comes out.

    The new combat is pretty terrible and is basically playing a extremely (and i mean extremely) clunky version of wow/generic mmo combat without being able to move, i personally think that runescapes slow turn based combat is something it had in its favor, theres a simple pleasure about watching a movie while farming or grinding slayer.

    It does feel clunky for sure. I'm letting it slide since its beta though. Polish is usually the last stage.

    You're kidding right? Both F2P and P2P have always been more than well populated.
