Perhaps not the best upgrade ever, but maybe not the worst. I was expecting more OSRS gold, but hey, this is the first official expansion to RS. They have room to improve. I loved the narrative content, the graphical upgrade of this desert (they widened the River Elid finally; we need that for many rivers in the game) and the town itself, as well as the fact that it is a nice skilling hub for midsize gamers (Prifddinas remains the greater heartbeat for higher-level players), but the faction system restricts players from playing the content they want.

Instead of pacing the player as I think they were hoping to perform, it only restricts the player in a bothersome way.I've noticed a lot of updates in my 13 years of playing RS, and there were worse ones. However, they can do better and I hope they require player feedback into account for another expansion in September.

I had been marginally interested in this"new" area... after catching a headline hinting on the net so I had been attracted to the article over.

After reading it it seems to me that few tough core particulars are actually given other than it's visually stunning. Well whoop-dee-dooo! If that's the case, those conducting the show at Jagex have definitely whiffed at still another pitch for yet another strike. We have seen visually striking or even stunning before... within a decade ago... but with content that is not really entertaining, WHAT'S THE POINT?!?

The article made me think of yesteryear when Dungeoneering came out. Was it new? Yup. Was it buy Runescape gold? Just a small bit. Was it cool? Everything depended on who you were speaking to at any given time however many folks were NOT impressed with it whatsoever after a short period once the reality of the art sunk in. Amount 120? Dungeoneering itself? It turned out to be only a pain in the ass method of getting a few new items and yes, it required a lot of hours to get it done!
