Can you pleaaaase let us play live RS and beta at the same time. Otherwise this beta will suck just as bad as the eoc one.


Will the XP I gain in beta transfer to the main game?

HTML5 testing will be running on the main game servers and all XP gains will be on your main character. The New Interface System Alpha may have some XP gain for the main server but this is not finalised at the moment.

I cannot wait. Hopefully it doesn't fry the servers.

I wonder if the new interface alpha will allow multiple accounts per login, like up to 3.
Updates are hard to make, especially when it's a solo project, so raging against the mod will get you nothing.

@Echned Zekin

I'm surprised you took my statement and believed I was making a generalisation about everyone in the RSCommunity. If you read my post closely , it's clearly stated that I'm talking about those of us who pay $5/month. Maybe you should re-read it again.

Obviously, those who pay $7.95 pay more than those of us who pay $5. It's simple multiplication after all :| .

with upgraded graphics and audio

Upgraded means runs better/faster, not higher quality
My concern is with how the engine and graphics/audio run.

Also, will the seamless world loading be available for those still running the java client after RS3 has be released?

Wut.

Jagex what about the Loyalty Program. I thought we had premium access to beta before everyone. But mems can register regardless? Im not saying this is a bad thing, just kinda feel like I've been bamboozled.

Or do prems get access asap after registering? Either way cant wait to see it.

I saw the BTS.. I nerded all over the floor.

While the majority of this update seems INCREDIBLE, there are one or two issues I can think of.

The first of these is the size of the current game. The screenshots of the larger draw distance make world seem a lot smaller - you can easily see from one side of Burthorpe to the other. While this would obviously be a big step-up in the game, I feel the world needs expanding considerably. Southern Asgarnia is one particular example, where far too much stuff has been crowded into one area - the clan camp and white knight camp make the area a lot less forest like. The recent alteration to the run system has also meant that it takes less time to travel from place to place on foot.

Secondly is the requirements. While the bestiary runs on Chrome, not the client mentioned in this news post, it lags a hell of a lot for me. I currently experience RuneScape at at least 35 fps wherever I go; up to 50 in less populated areas. I don't want that to change, or have to reduce my graphics settings.

Other than those issues however, this looks like one of the best updates RuneScape has had in a long time.
