RuneScape Need to Know: Switching Worlds

Listener Questions

Question from Thieves

Questions from a new guy:

With Earth no doubt enjoying the Aquarium update, I was wondering if there ever could be an update that would actually be a step too far -- What kind of update could make you quit RS?

Also, I'm from Wales, where our culture & language (Welsh) have been used to model the Elven culture & language of Runescape -- I was wondering if there were any examples of your own cultures in game that I may have missed?

Thanks, love the show.

Question from Hollowheart

Hello Shane,

You seem to be an avid Mac user, and I have a couple questions regarding RS3 graphic settings.

I'm currently running a Late 2013 iMac base model, and always run into lag/graphic stutter when playing RS3 on OS X 10.10.3. Currently, I boot camp into Windows 7 and experience no issues using Direct X. Is there anything I can do improve graphics performance using OS X? Using the client or the browser doesn't seem to have an affect and I know it isn't hardware since the game runs fine on Windows 7.

Also, do you play RS3 on a Mac? If so, what are the specs of your machine and how is the performance?

Thanks, and keep the podcasts coming!
