there was a runescape 2?
.-.
Whenever Jagex has a major graphical update, they call it the next RuneScape.
RuneScape went to RuneScape 2 in 2004 when the new graphics came out.
RuneScape 2 HD came out in 2008 which should have been RS3 in my opinion.
EoC was released in 2012 which also should have been RS3 but it wasn't.
RS3 was released today with the new user interface but is lacking the HTML5 client which is supposed to make it the actual RuneScape 3.
The new storyline was released which marks the 6th age was released so I guess that's why they're calling it RS3.
