YES! Wonderful to know!
RS3 all the way!
Now I am curious as to what potential skills may be coming out?

For instance, the clan I am in, and myself included, were trying to think of USEFUL skills that would not already be considered part of an existing skill.

Seriously try it. Almost impossible.

Mods , a quick question if any1 is willing to answer, since we will have a better perspective of what is surrounding us, it'd be a little bit akward staying in karamja and being able to view the other lands , it would make me think "why do i need a boat to cross what i could do swimming?! could you or better, will you increase the map size? i'd be awesome to have a bigger map, as stated before the many teleports, shortcuts and increments in the agility skill has made the map even and even smaller, i wish i could have that feeling that i have when playing other mmos like Guild wars 2 or world of warcraft , where i can lose myself in the maps and start questioning: Where the hell am i? :p making such maps could be a little bit hard, but increasing the size of yours wouldn't and making some areas more dangerous to be wandering arround with powerful foes (whenever i was lvl 10 i was afraid of going to varrock by foot from the southern part, because the dark mages would get me) can a high level player have that feeling too? :D


CAn't wait for Rs3 :)

I was really excited, but then I read what this really is...
More graphical updates? bah, fix the actual world. It makes no sense. Why is a house, Draynor Manor as big as a city? Why is their a desert kingdom a few feet away from lumby? Why is the desert kingdom so ridiculously tiny....

Here's what you actually need to do, take every square in the game, and make it 4. Make varrok, fally, all the cities 4 times as big, so they actually FEEL like a city, And the towns actually FEEL like towns, not 3-5 houses. Keep the manor the same size, just expand the area around it with the extra squares. Make runescape the right size. That would make the game so much better and open up a ton of space. Please. Right now your game is a crowed mess. We already have fast travel to every major town, so nows the time to expand the world. Use your new engine and HTML5 to actually improve the CONTENT of the game, not its looks. Looks are secondary to content.

I don't see why people are getting so excited. I feel like everyone is thinking up this whole new game but it wont be. Not at first anyways. Its still the same exact game. Everyone is hyping this up so much (just like when EOC was announced) that I'm pretty sure you will all be disappointed.

What will happen to the game at first:

Smoother game play
See farther.


At first it wont be a huge difference, you might not notice much at all.

Basically all that is happening at release is to get the technology in place. More background stuff than anything.

So don't get your hopes up too high at the beginning.

THEN they will slowly release upgrades with their new tools.

Things to expect over time:
New graphics
Better sounds(since they need to rerecord most of the sounds they have now)
Better lighting and stuff like that.
Maybe better cut scenes? :D

They
WILL NOT
upgrade the graphics day 1.

They Literally just released new graphics with the EOC. It would be a waist to redo all of those again. If anything, they would upgrade the graphics on stuff they didnt upgrade with EOC.

These are just some quick thoughts I came up with after reading a few pages of responses from players and their expectations.

Man, I dearly hope while doing all those massive, smashing, exciting, huge updates you don't forget things that would make playing RS a little bit easier:

- Get rid of options when clicking on another player's pet, familiar or avatar.
- Clicking on another player with stuff in your hand like 'why would I use my compost (or insert random item here) on another player?' if it results in an error message anyway.
- add 2 or 3 favourite loadouts to you bank option to gear up fast (e.g. create favourite skilling or combat loadout, hit the button and you're ready to go).
- add 2 more favourite worlds in the lobby (there's plenty of space on the left side).
- fix 'little things' that made us happy once like 'Eek!'-holding animation , the colours of our ring-of-egg, gaze auras etc etc
- an option to see in which world clan avatars are maybe nice
- a way to click on your friends list/friends and channel and sort them by name/world number
- maybe a way to use [shift]+[hotkey] on your action bar to use the secondary function of your item, e.g. hometele assigned to [1] -> [1] = normal , [shift]+[1] = tele previous location


You see, not everyone expects mega-uber-content updates ;)

...oh and please don't fix thing's that ain't broken, yet :p
