New look Runescape

Checked out the Runescape home page lately? Well, if you haven't here is what it now looks like. This new design is more than just a new design! You can have access to a range of pages with an improved site map and a whole lot more!


Here is a list of improvements Runescape has made...

Featured content rotator

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. We know that sometimes you don’t want to read through line after line of a news article to find out the big stories in RuneScape, so we’ve created this scrolling 'featured news' panel. It will host all of the latest and greatest updates from within RuneScape, as well as any other important competitions or features you may want to know about. This will all be presented with a short caption and large banner graphic: what better way to tell you about new content than simply showing you? No need to worry, though: we will still have the regular news section on the homepage for all the other information you need.

Quick Polls
We rely on your feedback, but we also know that your time is precious and you’d rather be playing RuneScape. So, we’ll be making the online polls more straightforward, and you can participate in them directly from the homepage. The polls will be updated more regularly, so you will be able to get your feedback to us quicker than ever.

Hot Form Topics
Want to know what the hot conversations are on the forums? It’s never been easier. The new RuneScape homepage will have links to five hot forum topics, so you can instantly join conversations and chat with your online friends.

Sitemap
RuneScape.com is huge, much like Gielinor itself, and we don’t want you to get lost. The new sitemap-style footer will not only aid you in finding key content across the website, it’ll help you get there faster. It’ll also help you explore the website and perhaps even discover areas you didn’t know existed.

In Other news...
a new icon appears when you chop down a tree, it is a much more better looking icon than the last.


Have you noticed that the Runescape icons are getting heaps cooler, for example - the dungeoneering icon  is way cooler than the old agility icon
