Contents

Tips

  • RS3's full interface lets you open as many tabs as you want at once, and the new bar is meant as a gentle push toward customising interfaces, such as placing the inventory, worn equipment, skills or friends list in them.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says people in his chat tried RS3 but quit because they could not figure out how to open their inventory, and thinks the old-schoolified interface will help attract new players.2
  • Gnomonkey compares RS3's cosmetic art direction to Team Fortress 2 for being over the top and hard to follow, and likes that with cosmetics hidden you can tell when armour looks cool because it is endgame armour rather than bought from a shop.3
  • Gnomonkey thinks the area rework helps new players who get lost, confused and log out, and that Jagex has seen Old School's success and is bringing RS3 back to its roots.4

Events

  • RuneScape 3 is reworking its UI with an Old School-style classic tab bar and the modern-style layout, with the RS3 twist of letting two of these bars be open at once.2
  • RS3 is adding a settings toggle to hide all cosmetics bought with real money, including particle effects, flying characters, idle animation overrides and pet transmogs.3
  • RS3 is reworking early game areas such as Lumbridge, Varrock and Edgeville to look more visually coherent and like Old School, cutting clutter such as the giant crater behind Lumbridge.4

Trivia

  • Jagex's area rework map shows green for fully updated areas, blue for considerable work done and red for likely future work; the desert and Port Sarim had not been reached.5
