Edit: Summary from Ren:
* In a few months they hope for there to be unique display names as well as usernames (for RuneScape but it should be for all, right?).
* There will be more than one playable race (species), one of which is the Pliigi.
* There will likely be a higher system requirement for MechScape due to the higher number of polygons.
* It will have its own control mechanism which is a combination of mouse and keyboard for controls (the "best of both worlds")
* If they did their job right there won't be any Real-world trading in MechScape.
* MechScape and RuneScape usernames will be the same.
* There will be a MechScape beta for RuneScape members (but maybe not all RuneScape members).
* MMG is unsure whether RuneScape pmods will automatically be MechScape pmods.
* MechScape will be awesome.
* MechScape won't be launched until it is awesome.
* For MechScape there will be DirectX not just OpenGL for increased compatibility.
* When asked if it'll have PVP I think he said "I can't really say if it has PVP or not, MechScape will be completely different from RS I believe"

I HAS FINISHED UPLOADING.

Tee hee - "Control Mechanism."

Wait, Mike: Did he just confirm WASD movement?! *gasp*

It's.... so beautiful.

But he's kind of taking away from my thunder, don't ya think? (Mike and MC will know what I mean)

At first when Ren told me there was a J-Mod in the CC I figured there was just going to be dozens of people spamming and asking dumb questions. I wasn't expecting him to be so open about MechScape. Kudos to Ren for asking what he could before Mod MMG had to leave.

Glad I got ranked on the clan chat so I could ask those questions as Mod MMG gave some very interesting answers.

Can you get these larger? They are too small to read. :(

nice!

oh and another i don't think there was a screenie of, but you can just take my word for it, i was there.

Wow, I like all how it sounds. Especially the RWT maybe that means they can come up with a working and good pvp...

Can't wait for the members beta either. But gotta make sure I change my name... Muahahaha.

All great, i can't wait for F2P Forum access :)

Pliigi...Playable race... *drools*

This is too much for me to handle - if you excuse me I am going to go blow up in excitement.

I asked via PM if you could get muted for talking about MW and he said "No I dont believe so".

Lol Dizzy. Yeah, i hope MechScape comes out soon >.<

Already done up top, except I don't have the last one.

That's all my pictures, if anyone has more feel free to share them.

On whether F2Pers will eventually be able to post in the RSOF.





What will it be?


Not much of a surprise, but still nice to have confirmation.


Name changes! I hope it's a good system




On a MS release date, they won't release it until it's complete.




That was basically assumed, but hopefully this will put that argument to rest.






Basically: Name changing in a few months, RS and MS will have same usernames, there will be a new F2P Skill, F2Pers with 1,000+ Total Level will be able to post in the RSOF. They won't use a set release date but will release it when it's good and ready.

The new skill is awesome, notice how he says 'is' not 'will be'

Ohh, that's right, there's a new skill coming out! I was hoping for sailing, but recently it seems Mr. Gerhard is against or just "iffy" about the idea of Sailing.

I believe he said something along the lines of, "While I'm working here Sailing will never be a skill."

So yes, it could always be a sub-skill.

I picked a good time to make iampliigi and pliigii. Can't wait to use those names in MS.

Perhaps a subset of Construction? That would be the most logical choice, because then there would be ways to gain XP. Although I'm still not sure of the uses of Sailing.

He wrote out the important bits.

Thanks for posting these, Syph, It's nice to finally know if a beta is happening or not.

So you're the one that got Pliigi!
I had to go with 'The Pliigi'.

I think he said Pliigii. Very informative day Thanks MMG!

*points at signature*

Paste into MS Paint or Photoshop and save the image as '.png' format.

There's a very helpful guide here.

this is absolutly great! i cant wait for Mechscape to be realesed now! however, i'm a free to play so i cant play the beta.... oh well.

Just got Pliigis mech, and Pliigiscape.

Edit: And Pliigi Pker.

I have 2 questions that iv been wanting to ask for months if anyone has a chance can they ask these two.

1) Do you have a est on when the mechscape website will go up ?

2) How often do you plan on releasing concept art for curious MS Fans ?

Yea these answers were some nice info but having to pay for rs membership to play mechscape beta is totally gay.

Do I have permission to use these on another MS fansite?

(if I don't have permission, I apologize because I already posted them. I will take them down if you wish.)

The way MMG said it they're still not sure when they're going to release the game, so they probably don't know when they'll release the website. I'm guessing it will be a week before the game is out or so, as they did before the FunOrb release.

I just noticed this, basically the same thing as they're planning on doing for the RuneScape forums.

Well, that was fun. Don't forget to post on the questions for Jagex thread for if there are any future chats.

How come I cant see any answers under the questions.. Looks like I might have to become a RS member again just so I can play the MechScape beta!! ><

Beta for members? So in other words, Atleast 100,000 people?

Mod MMg mentioned that as long as he is working for Jagex, there will not be sailing as a skill.

Sounds like MechScape is comming out VERY soon... I think in a week or so?

No.

According to MMG they don't know when it'll be released, so no, I'm assuming longer than a week.

I wish but unless the Beta is only a week long or a joke ill be continuing to pretend that Mechscape is vaporware
until it comes out

I can't wait for the game to come out :)

OMFG@!@!@!@!

BETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR MECHSCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! Just made my day! Thankyou!

Nope. There isn't BETA.

I think the point is that it is now confirmed that there WILL be a beta.

***** I'm not a member anymore :( lol suckish. Let's hope they release the f2p skill, so I have something to do ^_^

O EM G !! Cheeccchhhh!!! this is freaking awesome!

I can't wait for future chats with him

Hmm, on * they copied all things from there! http://www.*/mechscape/
They copied Mike's pictures too, but on the end there is written that they are from "MechScape World"...

I think it's not OK that they are copying from there...

@Topic
Nice news, I can't wait for the release!

If its on the internet, it can be shared. Ren doesn't own the pictures he took either, Jagex does. Besides, the pictures still have the www.Mechscapeworld.com watermark so they haven't been tampered with in anyway.

will you keep your stats when the beta is gone?

If it's similar to the Runescape 2 beta, probably not. The beta will probably be glitchy. Prepare for a lot of users to find the hack for 9999999999999 Piloting!
