It seems that Stellar Dawn is the new name for Jagex's upcoming sci-fi MMO codenamed MechScape. Ever since I announced that Jagex had registered the trademark Stellar Dawn in early February (here) there have been rumours that it might be the new name for MechScape. These discussions died down a bit when Jagex made the domain forward to FunOrb.com, but flared again when whovian39 reported that in late June Mod Korpz said that Stellar Dawn wasn't a FunOrb game (source). This was a claim which Korpz apparently repeated at a live Q&A further adding to the suspicions (source).
The RuneScape client, which seems to be shared with MechScape, was recently updated for RuneTek 5. In old versions of the client when run in a specific manner it would state that "MechScape is loading" instead of "RuneScape is loading". However, it now states:  The trademarked logo of Stellar Dawn is (source):  For an explanation for why Jagex were looking for an alternative name please read Mark Gerhard's public statement on the matter which also gives some background for why the game was originally called MechScape. Note: The game itself is still inaccessible. -------------------- |

I'm sure a lot of us were expecting this. It's a good name, and it sets the new game apart from RuneScape even more. This will likely draw in new faces, instead of leaching off RuneScape's community.

Interesting. I think Stellar Dawn sounds awesome even though I liked MechScape better. Not complaining, I'll get used to it.

 I don't think they should have changed it. So many people are used to mechscape now. At least we have Stellar Dawn world. -------------------- |
