If you ever planned to give Runescape a try but simply couldn't enter to it given that many of the systems and graphics are generally 15 years old at this time then I have some good news for you.

 

After four hard years of work the subsequent runescape gold Client is currently officially in closed beta. It features improved efficiency, visuals, longer draw distance, dynamic shadows and lighting, new water effects and much more. Here's the trailer showcasing each of the new improvements and a number of very pretty castles:

 

The NXT client, much like Runescape by itself, will be playable either as a standalone client or by way of a browser though it is recommended you go with the particular standalone version for maximum performance. Speaking of which, Runescape NXT is currently being optimized for Windows, Linux and Mac techniques with mobile and supplement versions planned for down the road.

 

Unfortunately, due to the substantial technological differences the previous school Runscape 2007 client aren't going to be receiving any of the actual updates NXT brings from it and will remain another entity. Though whether the old school Runescape community would even want this kind of upgrade is a total different question entirely.

 

You can find away whether you're selected to the beta at the Runescape website though keep in mind it will start out relatively slowly and ramp up over occasion.

 

If you have any questions or just want more information I would suggest you head to the site the official FAQ that goes in-depth on certain topics and is an interesting read if you're in to the game development side regarding things.
