We will have more details on how you can share your experiences with the beta on Thursday January 25th as we will make a post when it launches!


This bit from the news post makes me think it will happen with the beta update tomorrow. As they wait for the millions (and millions) of RS fans to follow them and drop pages of highly detailed feedback.

Sounds like a lot of math to me. :-)

As someone said on another thread (sorry, I have forgotten who and where), it's likely that the plug will need to be pulled manually. Therefore it's likely that access to the forums will stop at some point during the UK working day (08:00-18:00).

I always thought it was funny that the time difference means there are relatively few players online during their business hours. I think years ago when I complained about lag, they honestly had no idea.

Obviously they fixed that problem. The game has been running great for many years now.

Tenebri said :
the suspense, do we have another 24 hours, and its closing 23:59 or is it going to randomly go!!!


In my experience, it's not unusual for there to be a delay between the official closure time and when things actually go down. You'd only get something on the dot if it was automated. It's possible we're either getting until the end of the 25th or when the game servers go to maintenance. I think that's at noon game time? They get inconsistent about it for in game stuff too, which can be annoying for the first and last days of events.

We could just imagine for a moment that the forum closure has been delayed as they read all the posts since the announcement and realize the forums are more active than they assumed.
