1,
With (as i've understood it) every training place for slayer being multi-area, won't this cause even more "fighting over the monster spawns" and those with the most effective setup/high spenders (high combat, cannon, potions, prayer) will be those that pretty much dominate the training spots?

Or will there be a big increase in spawning time?

2,
Will EOC be released at midnight gametime? Or at noon gametime?

1. Monsters should be non-aggressive now so you wont get 'ganked' by loads all attacking you at once. In terms of XP, the first person to hit a monster effectively "tags" it, and only they get the xp for it, no matter how much damage other people do to it. Note this doesn't apply to bosses, such as the God Wars bosses - they still share out their xp like before.

2. We expect the update to roll out in the morning (GMT). :)

@Mod Zach
Thanks for the swift reply, it feels great to have actually had a response.
I have tried EoC out and gone through the academy, and I don't dislike it. What I do dislike it that it makes Runescape a completely different game (in my opinion). I'm playing it now as it is because I like the game, I don't want to be playing a different game. As for similarity to other MMOs I mainly mean the abilities, the likes of which you see in so many MMOs. I like Runescape because it's different, you don't have to sit their mashing keys to play like all these others. Momentum has been mentioned as a replacement for the old system, but it doesn't change the fact that you won't be as effective as you would be if you were mashing keys, using other abilities, so you are punished for not using them.

Liking the update doesn't mean you want it to replace Runescape as it is now. I don't really have a problem with EoC, in and of itself it's alright, but to me it makes Runescape a completely different game, and that means Runescape as it is now will be killed off. Gone. I wouldn't be as upset by the update as I am if I still had the choice to play Runescape in its current form, but once EoC takes effect that will no longer be possible.

As a video maker, all I must say is this will make me and my husbands video's much more exciting when we're doing Clan Wars/FFA and so on. It's not just small lil hits and all that, it's gonna be all this fancy emotes, and fancy ways of killing people with much flashy style to it, I can't wait! <3

OK sounds great on whole pvm and all but another thing arises. What about chinning in ape atoll now? that mean only 1 person per area because if u tag all and anyone else is there they wont get xp? also same thing Im stating goes for cannon for slayer.
Thank you so much for responses

I must just say that after trying the beta just now that the improvements you guys made to the momentum are much better than I thought. It is is pretty much just as fast as the old system. Atleast it is for the Abyssal Demons I am killing.

I am looking forward to this update alot more now. (for the new bosses and stuff)
