Let that sink in for a second. A game released in 2001 and was in its prime in 2007 is only getting its first raids fourteen years later. When I saw this news, I thought it had to be horrifically out of date, but nope. Raids are coming to Jagex’s Runescape as part of the game’s July update.

A giant boar called Tuska has crashed onto the planet (Urgh, I hate it when that happens), and now players will be able to enter a portal found on her corpse’s back to enter a new planet called Mazcab. On Mazcab, players will meet the totally-not-just-mini-Krogan race, the Goebie.

Alongside a myriad of other updates and contact that comes with this new planet, there is the smaller matter of the first (!) ten player raids. When the update launches, there will be two bosses available, with more planned to be added in after launch.

A video showing the update can be found up top, and if you want to see the other big changes the July update is bringing, you can do so on the Runescape blog.

Is this going to get you to go back to Runescape? Or are you one of the many people who left once the Grand Exchange fucked everything up for everyone ever, with even the allure of a 2007 server not enough to bring you back?

This month Runescape players can enjoy a wealth of new additions in this month updated that brings with it the ability to gamers to now enjoy raids.

14 years after the launch of the Runescape games it developers have now added the ability for ten players to embark on raids, as well as adding a new planet to explore, called Mazcab.

Runescape is a free-to-play fantasy, massively multiplayer online role-playing game that was originally created by Andrew and Paul Gower and developed and published by Jagex Games Studios. Features in the new update include Raids, Big Cats, Fast Lodestone Teleports, Elite Slayer Creatures and a brand new planet.

RuneScape takes place in the world of Gielinor, a medieval fantasy realm divided into different kingdoms, regions, and cities. Players can travel throughout Gielinor via a number of methods including on foot, magical spells, or charter ships. Each region offers different types of monsters, resources, and quests to challenge players.

The game’s fictional universe has also been explored through a tie-in video game on another of its maker’s websites, FunOrb, Armies of Gielinor, and the novels Betrayal at Falador, Return to Canifis, and Legacy of Blood.

Reviews from rs gamers:

I never participated in a raid before.
Not even in Destiny. WHY NO MATCHMAKING! - Dreamweaver

No one knows, but at this point in time, no one cares either. There are now so many easy-to-use, well populated Destiny LFG sites, that it is mostly only a matter of a few minutes to get a raid together (esp. midweek after reset). Frankly, I think it's for the best, since I guess you will have a better experience with players who made that minimal effort to get things going than with players who couldn't even be bothered to do that much. Also, some sites have a reputation system, which also helps! - Ralek

Yeah, I put in DestinyLFG that I needed 5 players for Crota Hard. I got about 35 messages for invites in 2 minutes. Matchmaking isn't needed. - Woopay

Some days are slower than others (also depending on the time/ timezone of course), but yeah, that sounds about right. Matchmaking at this point is really a non-issue. I mean sure, for anyone who expects it to be literally only a button-press away, it might still be too much, but frankly, looking at the way the raids play out (at least in the beginning), and the patience that is need ... you don't want to raid with that kind of player anyways. It's all for the best then! - Ralek

I used to raid in World of Warcraft. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Well, there are moments of pure entertainment, but just give up the moment you notice the healer's stoned. Just... trust me on that. - Nekro

Oh yeah. The game actually has a lot of reputation for being a no frills, oldschool MMO actually. For good reason. Its low fidelity visuals and no nonsense gameplay really helps. - Shippoyasha

I prefer playing old school runescape over the new one. I also have an account for Runescape classic as well still so I want to go back to that I can. but I find myself hitting old school runescpae when I get on. I have been playing the game since about late 2002 personally. and have been a constant member since - Topken
