To answer a few questions:
- Is this a fresh start with a new character?
No, it's a continuation of the current game, no stat reset, no transfer is necessary... we're not taking anything away! RS3 is a major upgrade to the tech, visuals, audio, user interface, hi scores, website, plus a big campaign of new content where the players drive how the story evolves... but fundamentally it's building on the same game underneath.
- Will it work in browsers other than Chrome?
We're hoping that by the summer that it will work in Firefox too. And yes, it works on Macs.
- Do I need to use the HTML5 client to experience RS3?
No, you can use the java client (including downloadable client) to get the other benefits and content. However the graphic & performance improvements do require the HTML5 client. Both the HTML5 and Java clients connect to the same servers; there aren't separate worlds.
- Will there be a beta for members? Will Gold & Silver premier club members get early access?
Yes and yes. More info to come in the next couple of weeks.
- What does RS3 this mean for regular game updates?
We'll still be doing our weekly game updates; this won't change.
- What are the system requirements to run the HTML5 client?
We'll talk more about this over the coming months, especially as we further optimize the code closer to release. We expect it to have a higher min spec than java (which is incredibly low min spec) but perform better on more modern hardware.
