Jagex currently says it will work with Runelite HD maker 117scape and unique Runelite maker Adam1210 to make Runelite HD accessible until the organization delivers its own authority Runescape HD form.


"We hear your input noisy and clear and we've been talking about that criticism the entire day and, while conversations proceed, we totally plan to follow up on it," Jagex said in a blog entry. "We impeccably comprehend that all of you have a voice in Old School, and that voice, on occasion, can be one of disappointment in regards to the choices we make. Be guaranteed that we generally welcome your input, regardless of whether fortunate or unfortunate. We don't generally take care of business, we are just human, and presently we are redressing our methodology."


Jagex added that it had seen "inadmissible levels" of badgering focused on its representatives from furious players via web-based media and repeated the organization won't endure such conduct.

117scape later said that they presented to think twice about Jagex and just make Runelite HD accessible until Jagex could deliver their own HD form of Buy Runescape Account, in addition to give Jagex community oriented contribution over the task to set up its visual style, yet said the proposition was turned down at that point. Fan reaction to Jagex spread from web-based media to a "demonstration" fight by various players in one of the game's social regions.


117scape affirmed that Jagex had reached back out to them to talk about Runelite HD following that fan backfire.


"We have been heard. Thus, keep on making yourself understood, however kindly make sure to be conscious of any Jagex representatives you connect with or talk about as they are a lot of tuning in," 117scape expressed on Twitter and Reddit. "Things are looking positive. Much obliged to all of you, so much, for your help."


Fan reaction to the news has to a great extent been positive, if mindful. A few players on Reddit have expressed that they'll be holding back to check whether anything substantial appears out of Jagex's choice, however are leaving open the likelihood that conversations among Jagex and 117scape will flounder.
