"Naturally this implies that OSRS gold any fan-driven initiative that is attempting to alter the way Old School RuneScape looks will not be compatible with our plans," Jagex wrote to 117.3 "We believe it is essential that there's a consistency with regard to how Old School appears as a result, so we're trying to ensure that our official changes will be the only ones to be made available.

I hope the news about the fact that Jagex and the Old School team are tackling this project in earnest is something that excites you, even though it does suggest that we should politely ask you shut down the personal project you are working on."

117 reported that they offered Jagex their side of the bargain that included removing their project after Jagex has released theirs and giving Jagex "collaborative oversight" over the visual style of Runelite HD.

"They did not want to be open about it," 117 said. "I am extremely disappointed and frustrated by Jagex, and I am extremely disappointed I am so disappointed that, after this long journey and a long time, I'm unable to present this project to you.

The mod 117 has been working on doesn't appear to violate Jagex's rules for third-party players, however the Runescape developer has said it will be updating those guidelines next week, to include references to projects that affect the look to buy OSRS GP the player.
