    Default 1.6 vs. 2.0?

    Hi, I've been off the forums for a while so please pardon the "duh" questions.

    What is the RS1.6 mod? Is it something to tide players over until RS2.0 comes out? Is it a teaser mod, showcasing some elements of 2.0? Why release 1.6 if 2.0 is going to be released in a couple months?

    Thanks,
    CK

    It's to see what people think of the new battlemap environment and to help peoples patience until RS2.
    At least, thats what i think. The official answer comes from dvk901/tone

    1.6 is a facelift; a new battlemap environment for RS 1.5, not a new mod.

    2.0 will be an entirely new mod, with new skins, new factions, and a new timeline. It's been "around the corner" for 2 years, so it will likely be the greatest mod for RTW ever.

    That's essentially the reason. Plus, the environment in RS1.6 is the OLD new environment...if that makes sense...that took me 6 months to work out, and was done before Tone took over and started making it photographic. LOL I figured it oughta see the light of day someplace, so I tossed it into RS1.6. And, a number of players mentioned they'd like the Senate back in, so I put that in as well, since we CAN do that in RS1.6, but not in RS2.

    And, it was\is to show that we are very serious about what we're doing, and how much better things can be. Even my humble tinkerings vastly improve the Vanilla environment, so you can well imagine what it will look like in RS2!

    Just to clarify, the new environment seen in RS1.6 is

    NOT

    The one in RSII. The RSII environments are a bajillion times better.

    ... photographic is damn right.

    It gets confusing sometimes if tone is showing a RS2 enviroment or a reference picture.
