I have played RS for over 18 1/2 years, and I have never been hacked.
Never.
This looming E-mail login process should be optional, not mandatory.
I am not a fan of being forced to do something I have no need for.

You can buy XP. You can't buy experience.
"...From The 'Scape" is very nearly here.

I will not have to make a new E-mail for the new launcher, correct?
Correct - the Jagex Account system is a completely different system than the existing RuneScape account system, so you can use the same email (and then migrate your characters over).
Oh jeez I logged into rants about something else and saw THIS!! What the F*CK!! My level of petty annoyance is reaching the tipping point. Is this something we only have to enter once or each time we log on?? Gah I'm already annoyed.

Ok, that is what I thought. I just wanted to be sure.

once
i dont see why people are annoyed can you elaborate?
I get the impression migration from the current launcher to the beta is a one-way trip, yeah?
As an example, say I moved my account over and played RS via the beta launcher. Then after a week, I decide I don't like how the beta performs. It sounds to me like I would not be able to transfer back from the beta to the current launcher, because my credentials there will have been removed. That is my understanding.
In a way, that makes sense. It would otherwise have a greater risk of our character progress not properly transferring over. At the same time, I am not inclined to switch over to the beta before absolutely necessary, once any bugs are found and fixed, so it's no longer a beta - for the exact same reason.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline!
