This message was what I have been waiting for the last 6 years.
I am more than thrilled to hear of these changes, it finally seems like the player's voice has a chance of being heard. I cannot wait to see what 2013 holds for this wonderful game, and amazing past-time. Rest assured, I will be looking forward to any new updates or quests, I can tell they will be worth my while!
Really, I am happy to see that Jagex is beginning to realize that not all of RuneScape's community was ready for the EoC; I will be looking forward to see how they adjust all players - new, old, and veterans alike - to this still new system, that surely has potential - if and only if it is taken seriously. Although I would like to see some "highlights" of the old game come into play, some form of simplicity return, I will be able to accept this not happening, like many others have had to do. (I do support some RS2 (2006-2008) clients - like RuneScape Classic - becoming available for those who would love a taste of the nostalgia we have longed for, so that we may gain a greater perspective of just how far this game has come.)

With the Utmost Sincerity, Respect, and Integrity,
The Eoc in my opinion is a decent update however... i know myself and MANY OTHERS would be very willing to pay more $ per month for membership to see the old system come back into the game somehow. wheather it means making a different server as you did with rs classic or involving strength bonuses more in game and also giving certain wepons special moves. I have to say that i feel defense is over rated and over powered in eoc and i would like to be able to notice attack and strength to have more effect in the game.I myself am big on dngeoneering and i would also like to see more chaotics added to the game. Also i know it is very difficult for you to upgrade overloads w/o making them too over powered but i speak for more then half of the players when i say that they are upsettingly underpowered for how much money we spent to get them. i hope my post isnt to late for someone of importance to see.
i would greatly appreciate some feedback on some of the topics i have brought up.
thank you jagex!!!! you guys are awesome and i hope to hear back!
one thing i forgot to include in my last message was that....(it is very annoying that to do sufficient damage while bossing you must be spam clicking abilities or spamming numbers on keyboard.) frankly my fingers get tired and it makes bossing very boring. i also read the post above mine wich was posted after i finished typing mmine and i agree 100% that we would like to see simplicity in combat come back into the game. and one last point i would like to bring up is a players max hit. in the old system when you leveled strength or attack you could deffinatly notice the improvments in power and accuracy of your hit. in the eoc i fell the damage done is very random and also does not vairy from maxed players to medium lvled players thank you for your time. we greatly appreciate all your hard work.
