117 stated that they had offered Jagex their side of OSRS gold the bargain which was to remove their project once Jagex had released theirs, and also giving Jagex "collaborative influence" over Runelite HD's visual design.
"They rejected the project outright," 117 said. "I am so unhappy and dissatisfied with Jagex and I regret that, after this lengthy journey and a long time, I'm unable to show you this work. 117's mod doesn't seem to violate Jagex's rules for third-party players, but the Runescape developer says that it's updating those guidelines next week, to include references to projects that could affect the design to the player.
Original Runelite creator Adam1210 shared his thoughts on Reddit, saying that allowing Runelite HD to continue would be beneficial for future updates from Jagex.
"I also have a strong disagreement with adding it to the "third parties' guidelines," Adam1210 said. "Most of those guidelines try to define where the line is between "quality of life] and cheating is and I'm convinced that the majority of people believe that the current guidelines provide a clear depiction of that. Also, it keeps the integrity of the game.
But there isn't an unfair advantage to better graphics It only impacts users when you turn it on. This is just a misuse of the guidelines. In the end, it's a loss for everyone involved and I wish Jagex could think about it."
Fans associated with Runelite HD have taken to the streets. Runelite HD project have taken to a square in Falador, a capital city of one of Runescape's major kingdoms, to stage protests similar to the one World of Warcraft players held in July. Participants can be seen on the video below, posting text dialogue criticizing Jagex in its decision-making process and hashtags such as #Free117. Another video shows more players "marching" on the streets of Falador Square.
A time in the past, something bizarre began to occur in a video game called Old School RuneScape. It was apparent that there were many new players joining the game and they were doing things in the same manner. They were in the game for hours and hours doing the same thing repeatedly. killing green dragons, gathering gold. Then killing more green dragons and harvesting gold.
It was apparent that these new players were gamers call "gold farmer." They were making gold winning the game and then converted the gold in the game into money through the sale of it to other players on underground websites. It's been going on for many years and most games ban it, but it's not stopped.
The first question was: Why was there suddenly so many of these new players to Old School RuneScape? The answer lay in one single collapsing economy. Venezuela. Inflation rates were rising and threatening the local currency. For thousands of Venezuelans gaming gold became a source of cheap OSRS GP shelter.
