This RuneLite HD Mod was designed by a modder dubbed the number 117. who spent two years developing it prior to Jagex ended the project just a day before it was due to be released. According to reports, Jagex also planned to develop the HD version of RuneScape and desired that the official version with OSRS Accounts be the only one available. But, in the wake of a lot of critique from players, Jagex has relented and suggested a different solution. 117 and Jagex will work together to ensure that the RuneLite HD mod stays in line with Jagex's concept of the game.

It appears that the two companies are working together to bring RuneLite HD available free to players of all ages until Jagex makes its own version RuneScape HD. 117 has stated in their Twitter feed that the collaboration isn't a compromise, but rather it's something they thought of when they were making this effort. Despite its age, the game remains extremely popular, and its new graphics will draw more interest for the video game.

According to the report the 177 RuneLite HD version is ready to be made available on the 13th of September. The reason for the delay is that Jagex can include more features and RuneScape fans' favorite attributes to the mod with more information as well as expectations of specs and compatibility. Furthermore the 117 team will use the time to create the ability to collect bug reports, which are always an essential feature to a mod that is official, which RuneLite HD seems to have evolved into.

At the time of writing, the fans seem to be pleased they are happy Jagex is changing its decision. There is a an increased excitement about how the game will evolve in RuneScape and one user joked that a meme that uses the current RuneScape graphics should be recreated in HD after the mod becomes available. One user on Twitter noted that, even though fans may be inclined to critique Jagex's decision-making, it's interesting that Jagex was willing to admit to the error and alter the way it dealt with issues with the RuneScape HD mod issue. It's still to be determined whether the introduction of the RuneLite HD mod will impact the opinion of fans.

Old School RuneScape has been in existence for quite a while. The original game released in 2001 has been through the ages and many gamers still consider it to be among the top games available in the MMORPG genre. There are many reasons why players continue to enjoy the games, its graphics aren't among the reasons. Recently, a player of the game trying to upgrade the graphics in the game encountered an unexpected challenge from game's creators.

While Jagex is the developer of RuneScape continues to introduce new features to Old School RuneScape, one modder dubbed"117" is involved in a fan project dubbed Runelite HD. The large-scale visual mod to the game was designed to provide an overhaul to the game's old visuals. Following the release of this project many players have been waiting eagerly to test the mod themselves. Unfortunately, it will never happen because Jagex has closed the project before the release date.

The company notified 117 of the mode's shutdown and also gave the reason behind the decision. According to RuneScape creators with OSRS Power Leveling the studio is currently making their own versions with HD graphics to be used in the game. Jagex has this to speak about their work on changing the graphics in the game: "We look forward to sharing developments as our own in-house development using Old School's visuals develops."
