The Runelite HD producer "117" posted on Reddit Tuesday with a message that he obtained from Jagex, which turned into later displayed by means of Jagex inside the agency's own weblog RuneScape gold. Runelite HD operates as a plugin that could deliver a significant visual overhaul to lowest level of Runescape, as may be apparent via 117's Twitter. Moderator 117 said they've spent about 2,000 hours during the last year working on Runelite HD.

"Yesterday we approached the makers of reputable HD initiatives, and we asked for them to stop improvement on their programs due to the fact that is a concern we're exploring," Jagex stated. Jagex told 117 the agency's work on an HD representation of Old School Runescape turned into "nevertheless particularly early in exploring phases" however "very a great deal in development."

"Naturally this means that any challenge led by fans that aims to change the way that Old School RuneScape appears is not in line with our personal plans," Jagex wrote to 117. "We believe it's important that there is continuity within the way Old School seems, and it is our responsibility to ensure that our changes to the game's professional model will be the best ones to be found.

Hope that the knowledge that Jagex along with the Old School group are tackling this issue in a serious manner is some thing that excites the group, though it could suggest that we'd like respectfully request that you end your private contest."

117 stated that they provided Jagex an alternative in the shape of doing away of their challenge once Jagex was able to launch their own buy OSRS gold, and also giving Jagex "collaborative control" with respect to Runelite HD's public style.
