    MechScape has been canceled, Jagex decided it wasn't as good as they wanted it to be so they scrapped the whole project and are starting fresh.

    Has anyone heard about this? It's already been talked about several times. For those that don't know MechScape(name not completely set)is a new MMO being made by Jagex. It's going to be browser based and supposedly have the same free/members system as RuneScape. MechScape is going to base in a futuristic setting. It's suppose to be 2 or 3 steps ahead of RuneScape in terms of graphics and the engine.

    While Jagex hasn't officially announced it they have said pretty much confirmed it at E308, in a video they talked about a new MMO called MechScape they are working on.

    Here is a link to a fansite that provides more evidence: MechScape World - The Original MechScape Fan Site

    You should be able to get to the video mentioned above through the site... if not google MechScape.

    well, imo, Artix and co really failed when they made Mechquest and Dragonfable, Adventurequest is miles better than both games

    No MechScape is being made by the makers of RuneScape not the makers of AQworlds.

    What sucks even more is it was a pretty much finished game... it was gonna release in the next month or two I believe, Jagex lost millions scrapping it.

    The official story is they felt like the game just wasn't good enough and it wasn't worth releasing.

    They haven't exactly closed it, they're changing it alot though. They're just changing some parts that were'nt necassary (My bud works for Jagex) The new name is gonna be Stellar Dawn. It won't be out for a while though, my guess... Beta in like 3 months

    And how could they cancel it after these guys made a fansite?

    No, they clearly stated they are scraping the project and starting fresh. They didn't like the end product so they are trying again... you could call it a "revamp" but still the fact is MechScape is canceled and it's a new project... even if the end product is similar.
