Ok, so how the bloody heck do I get started using Alpha!!!

Talk about frustrating damn it.

here is a quote form the article...

''After that, log in with your usual details and get started!''

Um, I did that and nothing. How about a bit of clear concise information.

HOW DO I START TESTING THE ALPHA STAGE INTERFACES??????????????????????????

This NIS alpha is a blast. It has glitches, which i expected and reported but the customizations I can tailor to my needs makes me really excited for the future of runescape.

As silly as it sounds, playing around with the alpha felt a bit like breaking free of the chains that is the current interface. The current interface worked for what it needed to do, but I can't wait for this to go live. Good work everyone :D

I just found the button in Beta. Your article does not explain how to find this very easily at all. For such a huge major game changing event such as this you have failed to impress me right from the beggining of it by not giving more clearer instructions on how to begin testing it.

I am sure that NIS itself will blow my mind, but first impressions are the most important. I'd work on that if I was you.

Did you get an email saying you were accepted into the alpha? Are you a gold or silver member? If you log in on the beta tab, there is an option for the beta (HTML5) or the NIS (Java). If you don't see that option, it sounds like you weren't accepted into the alpha unfortunately.

Now that I've played around with the camera for a while, I've noticed it really limits visibility, I can't quite zoom out far enough from my character to see enough of the area around me. and with the extra windows cluttering my screen, its even harder to see what's going on around me. Also, positioning the camera so that I can look straight down at my character is interesting, and I see the possible benefits of it, but that too limits the amount of world that's viewable. I'm not sure if its the new camera mechanism or the extra windows cluttering my screen, but the game feels much more claustrophobic now.

I really look forward to using the new interface system, way more useful and will require less functions to do things such as switching to prayer and food.

I hope the map is resizeable sense tracking to navigate from one place to another is to much time to consume just to navigate by clicking on the map and it's distracting and takes away focus on the world and scenery itself sense you are constantly having to focus on the map, so I really hope it is resizeable and a larger navigable area to click on.

Although the background for the window boxes are original too the theme, it would be nice to be able to choose your own color that you wish such as black or gray.

Being able to select saved window configurations too the current playing style you are focused with, such as cooking or fighting, but it would as well be even better if you were able to load predefined armour setups in the same way the action bar lets you select the fighting spells for specific tasks.

It would be nice if you could have notification popups or floating boxes for specific things such as when your potions are about to run out, instead of focusing your attention elsewhere such as the chat box when you can just see a window or a small box to show you on the screen instead. I believe currently it is very crucial to implement this idea. It is not good to have to lose your focus to the chat window to see when your potions are to expire and sometimes you don't even see it!

It would also be nice to implement an actual social system that shares informations on social networks such as facebook, twitter or youtube and more.

I also believe it would be much better if you could have private chat windows for your friends rather then dumping all the private messages into one chat box.

To have the ability to right click another player and have the ability to see his/her armour and such into a window with this new NIS would be lovely as well.
