Bobby Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 donno if I am excited or scared... http://services.runescape.com/m=news/runescape-on-mobile--coming-soon?jptg=ia&jptv=community_news RuneScape on Mobile – Coming Soon RuneScape is coming to mobile in 2018. That's right – RuneScape. The game you know and love, anywhere. This is a mobile client for RuneScape – not a separate version of the game. Theinterfaces will be optimised for mobile, and there'll be persistent cross-platform play with the desktop version. That means you'll log in with your existing account, continuing the adventures of the character you've spent so much time levelling. And of course, you can hop back onto the desktop client whenever you want. Awesome! When can I play? Old School will hit mobile devices this winter, with RuneScape hot on its heels in 2018. To be first in line for hot-off-the-press mobile info – and to be considered for closed beta access – register your interest now. Any questions? Check out the live stream at 19:00 UTC on 19th July on Twitch. Excited? Join the conversation on our social channels with #RSMobile. The RuneScape Team Link to comment
Steven Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think it'll definitely be used a lot by players of both games. Glad to see it's finally happening. Link to comment

Beric Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'll personally have no use for it, but I hope it brings in some new players. Link to comment
Brimes Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I don't think my phone would be able to handle it, either way I don't see myself using it. I play at home or at work if things are slow, otherwise I have no time for it. Link to comment

Ah yes, new players who will be stumbling around on a mobile interface. 1 hour ago, Brimes said: I don't think my phone would be able to handle it I don't want my phone to explode in my face.

Honestly I just feel like this is bad for the perception of the game. I feel like advertising that your MMO can be played 'great' on a mobile interface will turn away anyone looking for a less casual game. When, if you choose so, RS can be not-so-casual.

Beric Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 RS is a weird MMO. It's really grindy, but so much can be casually afked and does fit as a mobile game. And then there's involved combat and opportunities for high level PvM. Kinda all over the place. Link to comment
Bluee Iris Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 They posted a short video preview. Link to comment

AmusedDragon Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 So has anyone actually signed up for the Beta? Genuinely scared my phone might overheat so I'm gonna let some others work out the bugs. Link to comment
Beric Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I signed up for the hell of it. Link to comment

Atleast i can do my daily stuff on work breaks Obviously its still early but i sincerly hope the interface isnt aids...i had RT'd an image off reddit on gladz twitter that looked great.

James Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I would think the fact that your game can be played on a device people use to play Angry Birds while they poop is not a selling point for your MMO. Link to comment
Tristan Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Woodcutting or fishing on lunch breaks from work? Okay i guess I do believe this will be beneficial to some players so can't complain about that! Just an overall interesting update as there are both positives and negatives, hoping the positives outweigh any negatives the community comes up with. Link to comment
