Another Question about the future of HTML 5.

Will we ever be like to get apon like say a horse and have a faster run or use a horse in terraine that he/she can only do?

(pretty sure this question is silly and weird but its worth a shot)

Whilst we can technically achieve this in HTML5 (or Java) with very little work, it's more of a game content decision on how they want the game to progress.

Mod Mark said certain actions in the game have a much shorter game tick. If game ticks could now be lowered completely I was wondering whether:

Just movement could have 0.05 second game ticks? So that when we click to move, it happens really fast afterwards. Maybe add the GE Interface to this to, as it is a pain how slow it is.

Actions that don't have to go via the game server happen at the client's update pace (20ms), but anything important needs to head via the game server which only runs at the one 600ms tick rate.

Where does HTML5 store its cache? I know java does this *C:\Users\NAME\jagexcache*. Where is the HTML5 Cache store.

Because I have the feeling that the cache for HTML gets cleared/removed every time you restart the client (which is bad for a SSD as it only has a limited number of writes.)

It'll be in your Chrome user directory, but where exactly is not under our control. It definitely won't get cleared on restart (unless you uninstall Chrome or something like that).

-Will HTML5 boost the audio capabilities of Runescape? If so, by how much/how would we be able to tell?

-Will all those absolutely awesome orchestrations of classic Runescape tracks be released with HTML5? Or sooner? =D

Yes it will, Yes you will, and yes they will

2) I just logged in on the interface alpha, and there's 5 (FIVE) people testing/playing now. don't you think it's a little harsh to not make it public? there's loads of people DYING to play around with the interfaces..

We are aware of the player numbers but there are a few things we want to change and test before opening the Alpha up

Is it intentional that controller support was added to the HTML5 beta this early on?

I always use my xbox controller while RuneSpanning and what not, and it picks up the background input and I end up running around like a headless chicken while playing Portal!

It was left in as a trial. We may make it official with an option in the future.

Will we ever get more bag space?? Having only 28 gets annoying at times.

We don't want to open the number of spaces currently I'm afraid

Do you guys plan on allowing more inventory space?

Increasing inventory space isn't currently part of the plans.
