While you’ve been gliding about on the ice outside, we’ve been working on some smooth moves of our own. We’ve also got some reminders about all the festive fun coming to RuneScape this month, and an update on the Activity Pets competition.

Smooth Movement
As you may have already heard, we’re making some adjustments to the way characters move in RuneScape. This week, Smooth Movement goes live!

The movement of any player or NPC character in RuneScape is controlled by the game server. Previously, every 600 milliseconds (a game tick) the server updated your character's position and sent it to your game client. Then, the client interpolated between the character’s last known position and their new one to make the movement seem more natural. For example, if a character ended up too far behind its new position, its speed was increased by a fixed amount until it caught up.

To make a long story short, this update has improved the calculations the client makes when moving characters about, making movement appear more fluid and natural. If you’d like to know more, check out Mod Nin’s Dev Blog, where you can learn about all the cool tech stuff that went into this update.

This is an integral part of the game, so if anything seems strange about your character’s movement after this update, we’d like to know about it!
