Heya,

Interesting read. I'm one of the ones who was thrown in the deep end when Beta was first released, and was confused about how the system now worked. I must admit that kind of put me off going back, but will pay Beta a visit, now more changes have been implemented. As a mainly skills based account, I must get my head around the hot bar at some time I guess lol. Perhaps try a some of the quests I haven't done (huge list).
See you in Beta ^_^ .

I really like the direction that this is going. I was struck by a sense that the developers/designers are listening and responding to player feedback. I say struck, because honestly, I was surprised. This update is going to be very good for the game.

Oh Jagex, you are making the worst mistake you could. I know you want to make the game 'better', but you need to realise that your going to lose so many non-members and members because of this. Adding a tutorial won't keep them around, they don't want to play because it requires too much effort and they like the Combat system the way it is.
I hope you realise this and don't go ahead with EoC.

I am excited for EoC, but I still think some more could be done to try and accommodate prayer no longer offering full protection; perhaps agility being thrown in to allow for better dodging of attacks?

Still a little displeased with the changes to the Ancient Elements, which, to my mind, seems pointless. They can have elemental linkages, but not name changes. But even with elemental connections, it does seem confusing in the type match-up for Desert Treasure...

Air beats Fire (Blood)
Water beats Air (Smoke)
Fire beats Water (Ice)
+
Earth beats Earth (Shadow)?

A little confusing. Not to mention notoriously damaging to a lot of lore.

I was very excited for this one and am equally excited for the next one that will follow up.

So I really appreciate to have answers in text form, rather do that effort myself. Thanks to who ever is responsible. ^_^

However, the Mods didn't tackle many questions regarding the hundreds of players if not thousands at this point who don't want EoC and want an improved version of their current game rather than be it replaced by a new ability system of interaction with other major changes.

They should of fearlessly tacked a bunch more of those questions, because if they can't take criticism in those levels, then I think even they in their hearts feel without realizing that what they are doing may just be.. wrong.

I saw the reaction of Mod Mark when he answered just one player who wanted to quit. He was nervous and quick to hold the situation.

Honestly, he should be very cautious. Mod Mark has done soo many good things for this game, but he is taking a very huge step here, that might jeopardize all of it.

I understand his view to add space for more content so it can give the game another number of years. But I say...

* If he and his team tackled the harder challenge of growing the same tree and strengthening the branches of what Runescape is today,

--- rather than ---

* Planting a new tree and know of it's guaranteed "potential" for growth.

I think the outcome would have been supremely better.

In the end what matters to players, is which fruits they enjoy better, Mod Mark. Keep that in mind as you move on with this change. ^_^
