Many RuneScape players have been longing for the day OSRS gets an HD client. The day has finally come, a group of players has developed a client called HDOS which transforms the graphics of OSRS into the HD graphics from 2008 RuneScape many of you know and love. But what does Jagex think about the client? Is it safe? Just how far along is it? In today’s video, we answer all those questions and more!
HDOS has not received an approval or rejection from Jagex yet, so use at your own discretion:

This was the era of Runescape that I remember most fondly. Simply because this era of Runescape was my one escape from a tough school life. No matter how much I dreaded going to school, I knew that it would all be okay once I got home and hung out with my RS buddies
anything bad that happend at school didnt matter osrs was a mental safety net
got legit chills from that opening HD title screen, holy cow the memories.
frrrr
As much as I love the convenience of RuneLite, I'll move to this client in a heartbeat if Jagex approves it.
Unless runelite ends up also applying the option to use HD OSRS as well

@@stooge389 it’s already being done by 117
@@Alldayanyday1OnThePS4 117 is making it happen it’s just taking awhile only because he’s solo
@@goheaddie 117 aint half as good as hdos
Rshd was when I really started to play runescape. Turning on rs one day and seeing the moving screen ugh. Brings back memories
I really hope jagex doesn't ignore this, I want an official HD release in the future
You want this eh? Then piss off over to RS3.
There will never be an official HD client but there could be an officially endorsed client
@@raggahiphop46 ignorance at its finest. the difference between osrs and rs3 isn't the graphics bozo
@@raggahiphop46 whoa alright bro calm down we got it anyway I’m currently playing hd get over it
@@raggahiphop46 you realize that OSRS and RS3 have completely different mechanics, do you not?
Looks fantastic, loved this era of RuneScape. Hopefully this gets the thumbs up from jagex, we need an HD client.
I agree, having player choice is beautiful and only helps the games longevity and experience
We really do. Fuck all these people who say HD graphics aren't "old school" enough.
@@Bioniclema90 for real, especially because it's mostly the more simple feel and gameplay that's important about not changing, who cares if someone else is seeing good graphics on their end
A HD client* h isnt a vowel :P
@@truewerf4413 no, but it is in how it's pronounced
I loved the HD OS look so much. Started in 07 but the HD just did it for me
Yup. My accounts 15 years old
Still going for max.
The game that keeps giving
I absolutely loved this era. It was 2007 style game play with amazing graphics. Loved the 2012 times. Killing cockroaches etc. I personally would prefer though that Jagex made it themselves as it seems to be more clean when they do it. Nonetheless, very cool!
I have been waiting ten years for this
Bro it look so clean!

3% women huh good to see me bringing my girlfriend and my ex wife onto Runecape made a huge impact on the community lol
Lol! There’s tons of girls playing when I was in high school most of my friends played RuneScape (I’m a girl btw lol)
Its a fucking sausage fest out here
Most of my friends on rs were women like me. The poll may just reflect those that watch his channel.
Is that what you call your left and right hands?
hate to say it, but we ALL know that girls in Runescape = Guys in Real Life.
Absolutely miss this revision!!! So happy to see it, really hope it gets the thumbs up - soooo many memories from this era!
Personally havent played rs in years, but I dont understand why this isn’t just a graphical option in the main game to begin with.
Because it’s OSRS.. if they do this it’d just be RS3. And they try to stay true to the 07 feeling
OSRS is a clone of the game back in 2007, before this graphical update, they would need to essentially take the same time they took back in 2008 to remake all the updated content. OSRS isn't even the game they want to support since as stated in the video from the mod that RS3 is really the only game that makes them any money.
@@Diddykonga That's not true. They wouldn't be running OSRS if it wasn't profitable. OSRS has a larger playerbase than RS3, so based on that it's fair to assume the majority of membership subscriptions come from it. How that weighs up against RS3's microtransactions is debatable, but it certainly isn't losing them money.
Idk where you got the idea from that they don't want to support OSRS. Mod Mat K was asking a hypothetical "Are the players worth more in RS3 than in OSRS?", not claiming they were.
@@MrMudbill No he literally was claiming that they are. Tell me this, if you have game that makes $20 per person on average vs a game that makes $1k per person on average, which game as a business would you put your time and resources behind? Its obvious. The only, and I do mean the only, reason that OSRS exists and still exists to this day is because without it, 80% of the player base would have left and never come back, where as with OSRS even if it is barely profitable it still keeps the name "RuneScape" alive in peoples minds which gives them attention market share, meaning people will continue to pay attention to it as a whole, because without OSRS Jagex would have closed RS3 a long time ago.
@@Diddykonga It's nowhere near a clone nowadays. On release, maybe. Now it's just a version of Runescape that evolved differently than Rs3 did from 2007scape
I will never forget when they showed pictures of the before and after of Ardougne and my amazement as a kid!
As a hardcore RS3 fan that watches primarily OSRS content, this is fascinating. Within 30 seconds of the video and seeing the amazing job the creators did - I said to myself I would play OSRS with these graphics
Only if Jagex could make a statement if it's okay to use...
Just doesn’t seem like it would make sense for them, just opens up a can of worms for them if anything goes wrong in the future with nothing to gain on their end.
@@ruicao4209 i mean they could buy it and add the HD option to the official client
It will bring so many people into the game and i expect that it will extend the life of the game aswell
I personally know people that don't want to play osrs just because of the outdated graphics
@@Goregreet really wouldn’t bring many people. Osrs is a hard community to get new plays. Only way I could see it growing is by adding mobile content that would give easy content to do. It would help encourage people to sink more time in.
@@Goregreet buy it? Aren’t they just using a lot of Jagexs old assets? If not Jagex has their old assets they could do this on their own if they feel it would bring in enough players and money to make it worth while. It would also really muddy the waters of what OSRS is. It would make many people mad again with not enough to gain. Saying absolutely nothing is usually a win for corporations.
@@IL_Bgentyl i disagree
Words spread fast especially these days
I think a whole bunch of old players who hear about hd osrs will have a look
And don't forget about the ppl who quit out of boredom
Better graphics will be a HUGE deal
Oh man...! This is what the game looked like when I first started playing. I love OSRS for the gameplay but the graphics aren't nostalgic for me, until now. Man, this makes me happy.
Then you're not an OG osrs player and us that was there before they foked it up and brought out EOC don't want this.
@@raggahiphop46 doesn’t sound like you were there either.
EOC was awhile after this ‘08 era. ‘08 era was great
I played before EOC. The better graphics were out for a long time before the combat changes. Either way, does it matter? It's not like it's being forced on you. If you don't like it then don't download the client. Let people enjoy the game how they want too without getting all defensive, lol.
@@raggahiphop46 I've played 07 scape and got to see the moving in of the new era of 08-Eoc and then osrs being added, I've played all of them all the way back to 07, a lot of OG don't want this because it's not nostalgic for them, that's why currently it's a client and not being forced into the game like the old days, and even then many of the OG players loved 08 scape. How about quit being a negative jerk and let people enjoy what they want about the game and its different eras
@@Zzzarathxt53 Even in 08, you could toggle the HD vs 07 graphics. I mean I played back in the day for all of it, so while I'm still nostalgic for 07 content, I wouldn't mind a toggle at all. I don't understand the whole "would ruin the game for players" when it could be done as an optional toggle. It doesn't affect the game in any way.
This legit could save the game. SD-mode for the oldskool players and HD-mode for the rs3 and next gen players. No more olschool rs or rs3 just Runescape ahhh memories 😌
3:58 its like he's so bored spinning flax he casually does it in harder positions
lol
That's a hilarious take, nice joke XD
“This just doesn’t seem fun. I know, I’ll break the laws of physics and spin the loom itself, instead!”
@@Caddynars Gilienor's space time end is _looming ahead!_
I will never use this client over Runelite, as I prefer the oldschool graphic era. That being said, if this gets RS3 players and other gamers to try OSRS, I am all for it.
it's ok to have preferences but hd rs is still "old school graphic era". it was released in 2008 so doesn't go against the old school thing at all.
they adding a similar (better in my opinion) hd plugin to runelite within the next few months
@@hunterpietramala706 really? That would be awesome.
@@funrsguysandmore yeah, if you google 117scape the plugin maker's twitter should pop up, he's got images/videos of the plugin on there
@@hunterpietramala706 awesome!!
I've been using HDOS since MatK's stream, it's been my main client since, only switching to Runelite when I REALLY need plugins. I think Crumb described the client and the situation really well in this video, cheers!
@Comfy Frog you are right we need ez scape
main account?
Dang! I'm digging the more rapid upload pace :D
Bring me back to the RSMV Golden Era.
if only copyright wasn't an issue now, RSMV's could make a return :D
nice RSMV's btw ;)
@@rs666devil thank you, you too! That’s my whole childhood right there.
@@pandafi96 me too bro, used to love making rsmvs haha
Jagex, listen to the community. We want this!
I started in late 2006 or early 2007 and I love how they've worked on the tbow, scythe and blowpipe etc, it feels so jagex made its unreal, I honestly would trade ever single qol from runelite to this client. Now yes there are a few bugs which hopefully then can flesh out, particularly full screen mode. Now my banks only 3b ish, I just hope jagex buy these guys and have them work for them or at least allow them to operate. I hope someone from Jagex allows this because it will absolutely grow this game, nobody is forced to play HD and can play on vanilla if they wish. The future can be great if done correctly with Jagexs help/overlook. This on mobile particularly would smash a hole in the market and grow quick. I can't wait for the future!!
Always trying to throw you a like. Always appreciate youtubers who make actual content
I think this HD client will bring in a lot of new player base, it’s a fantastic look and gives an option to play a modern osrs.
Now I can finally experience this with decent framerate.. I remember when the HD update came out I could only play it on fixed screen with decent performance and I also used fullscreen a lot but at like 800x600 resolution which was blurry as heck but it still looked incredible seeing RS looking that huge on my screen.
1:45 Wow the HD is getting insane! They have chincompas chewing on other chinchompas
gotta say ive missed the old HD login screen from back in the day
Should have made Taverly the thumbnail to catch the beauty of HDOS.
With the hot air balloon built!!!
He tried. UA-cam couldn't handle it.
You can set born to do this as the log in theme. That with the animated background is perfect.
I'm in the close Beta since 1 year almost and I love it !
I'm so happy everyone can use it now it's open :)
Was playing it today and yesterday, it's insane.
Bro I've been waiting forever for this
Gotta love how Jagex makes story mode quests while the players make actual usable clients. A genuine joke.
Yeah it's pretty sad
Story mode "quest" xD
Quests? You mean a raid they made easy and forced on everybody with a quest cape
How are quests and hd graphics related in any way..?
@@tolkkiz You don't play much do you?
I played with the original graphics for a bit back in the day but the HD update still has to be my favorite time playing the game
This looks really cool, I hope it turns out OK!
08 Scape was my favorite Scape.
I really hope this comes to a fruitful end because the 2008 hdscape is my favourite era, it's where I really started playing and dusted off my old accounts, it's got such a charm for me personally.
I hope we get the crop-top version of the Armadyl Chestplate from 2008 back though. That was my favorite design and armor back then.
What could have been. Jagex, fix your mistake!
Best runescape was 2011 when you started it up and Born To Do This started playing... Man those were the times I can't believe it's been 10 years since 2011 wow
2006-2007 was the best my man. Back when PKing was in it's prime the wilderness was packed. The player count was at its peak with so many people everywhere who actually talked and played together. The economy was booming with great prices, merching was very profitable. Supply and demand was balanced nicely. All skills like woodcutting, fishing, mining, actually made you really good money. It was actually rewarding to get gathering skills high because you made serious bank. It was the golden age. Once they removed free trade and PKing the beginning of the end came. The game literally never fully recovered from that to this day in terms of player count and popularity.
@@TexasGreed you can't compare now it's still insane count compared to how old game is and especially when mobile was released.
@@TexasGreed pking was removed and trade restrictions were enforced because a lot of the player base were bots, scammers, or other forms of shady accounts. I love 07 scape, but it wasn't all fine and dandy and I wouldn't consider that the Golden era because the amount of neglect jagex had for runescape back then letting everyone run rampant.
I quit for a year but just seeing this makes me want to hop back on
I'm not a huge fan of RSHD since it was in the dark years but this is a sight to behold
Dark years?
I mean I mined under falador for most of 07 and 08, what did I miss
Aah it’s finally here! Super informative video, I love how you ask questions but stick to the facts! Let’s hope for the best!
3.2% gang!
Damn it looks so good
this was my main era of runescape :( 2008-2011 12-15 years old
I'd love to see this integrated and basically do the old "low detail/high detail" settings, with this being the high detail version
PLEASE JAGEX, let us use this client! This brings back so many memories. They must of put a lot of time into this to get it working
I mostly play old school runescape for the old crappy look. I really don't mind the graphics and that's why I mostly wouldn't want to play the HD client.
I can respect that. Would still be a great option to have for the players that do want it though.
@@iraloS More options is always better
Yeah not even touching it unless Jagex says something
its safe mate
I loved testing HDOS. It kept me playing the game for a while longer and is pretty much the only reason I play osrs at all nowadays
I bet this will get added onto the steam client in the future.
Similar how they are (monthly) updatibg the steam client with more features similar to runelite.
Could see 2 years from now having a "Super" Jagex client with everything runelite has and HD as well.
Good luck on the project.
This is the game i loved.
for me I would switch knowing it's A) safe and B) jagex approved, not trying to get banned for the better graphics, but I often accidentally open my old vanilla client and just play anyways cause most the time I don't fully need the quality of life stuff
its safe, 8 months and hundreds of beta testers and not one ban, go check out the discord
@@heftymagic4814 "safe" also means "not malicious"
> Using the vanilla client
Nice try, Jagex mods
this was my favorite part of my childhood, thank you for this!!!!!!!
love the HK greenpath ambient music in the background
when the players love the game so much that the company just have to sit back and count the money
they need the HD OPTION. option only. for the survival of osrs. literally would bring tons of players that would play for years and years.
havent played oldschool since 2016, this will bring me back
Time to finally try it out since it has been approved today.
I've been playing on it and it's pretty dope. I just wish it was more true to the 08 style instead of 2010/2011. I prefer the animations and graphics to be truer to the 2008 version of the game (which was more "oldschool" feeling)
After a long break, been playing OSRS everyday since the beta has been released. The only "update" I've ever wanted from OSRS since I started in 2014.
Im sure most rs3 players woulld want this too. It enhanced the best aspect of rs visuals.
Very cool!comments show just how young most of yall were when you played
This would be such an amazing addition, i really hope Jagex agrees to adding it
The HD graphics arent my cup of tea, which is funny cause I love using the GPU settings in Runelite, but the ability to seamlessly switch between would be pretty cool
If this ever gets approved my Jagex, I'll finally have a reason to wanna sink more hours into the game
They have this. It's called EOC
@@raggahiphop46 wrong
@@raggahiphop46 looks like you weren’t around in 2008 my friend, these graphics were in the game LONG before EOC
@@fruitydx I know gee wizz and can tell you he was there when HD was introduced. I'm sure he means is once HD came out OSRS went to shit after and everyones account was forced to play EOC. HD is way too EOC looking for me personally and fear it will eventually go the same route. Many of EOC shit is creaping it's way into OSRS already.
@@bboybreaks6487 oh no! You don’t like this client so people that enjoy it can’t have it! Do you understand what you sound like here? The artstyle started changing around 2012 and the artstyle was still kept the same in 2008 but according to your 07 cult players apparently HD = EOC 🙄
I noticed that some UI elements are from after 2008 (the entire UI screen on the bottom right for example). and also when you mouse over trees and the cursor changes. but it's still sick as hell
I had tried that client, and I have a character with pitch black skin, but when I used the client, my character's skin color was yellow or something. Is that another type of bug that it has?
Crumb!!! :D Thanks for the Showcase!
Yea definatly gonna be cautious on this one.
I'd like to see jagex approve of the client to kind of give me some peace of mind that I won't be banned for using the client and that the client itself isn't malicious.
I may play it on a VM with a burner account just to check it out but I definatly won't be logging in with my main just yet.
its perfectly safe, hundreds of beta testers in 8 months and hundreds of open client users and not a single ban
I just recently got back into RS3 because of the graphics, and had an old account for a while. But if this client happens and gets approved, I'm sure i'll be grinding again in OSRS for a while.. heck I think i'd make a new account just for the sake of re living the 2008 graphical experience by skilling and questing ..
The HD client is a nice addition so far, personally I won't be using it as a replacement for Runelite until it has all the quality of life plugins though, such as bank tabs. Hopefully that will come sooner than later.
It's funny that this video got released today, because I have downloaded this client yesterday and played on it with a new account. It was kinda nostalgic killing these cows again with these graphics. Thank you for making this video. :)
send me the client plz

Can't wait to check it out :)
The 2008 graphic update made the game soooo much better. Jagex really messed up back in the day
Need to get a petition for this so we can get this into the game for everyone
No we don't. You want this look again? Piss off over to EOC
@@raggahiphop46 lmao imagine getting butthurt just by having an option out there that doesn’t affect the gameplay in any way 😂 you’re a tool man don’t be such a pussy
Its already in the game for everyone, they just need to grow some balls and download the client. Those who dont want to can stay on runelite, you can already switch between hdos and runelite so having both graphic options Already exists..
Think ill give it a pass for now, jagex have a history of just outright banning things like this
@@matguimond92 the entire game is easy with or without a client. It's literally a point and click adventure RPG it doesn't take any real skill no matter how you play it. If you're tripping about good players and bad players you choose the wrong game.

@@matguimond92 smh, shit bait. try harder.
Omg I did not anything about this!? I’ll definitely be playing again and it’s been ages
The classic yarn look
Nah OS Remastered looks 1000 times better and smoother that HD client was the beginning of the end for many of us.
That HD era was the beginning of Runescape for many of us period.
And two for the algorithm!
you are a real legend
I remember going ham on Barbarian Assault with the update. It was majestic.
Looks soooo good! Also finally brought some stuff off your website ;)
Thank you so much!
this one looks much more professional than the other HD clients
in some places it looks really good but in others not so much. the rock crab area in particular was really hard to look at and some character models look really weird.
Now I can actually play the game without cringing
Its kind of hilarious how we all think these 2004 graphics are so much better, but the nostalgia is overwhelming.
Actually OSRS uses graphics from 2007 that are very different compared to 2004-2006 era. But in my opinion every era before RS3 has it’s beauty.
I dont think this will ever get approved because we all know that Jagex is proud of the shit pile they made known as RS3, and they dont want this to take away the player base which it would...
I dont think it would take away from rs3 playerbase as much as you think, rs3 is a totally different game and has a even more advanced graphics than this
The only thing getting me to play again is a HD client. Haven’t gotten a single other reason to start playing again.
dude its insane, using it rn
It won't run on my pc, comes up with fatal error :( was really looking forward to it
Never liked the HD graphics when they were first introduced
Style over graphics anyday
