I saw the video for the new interface system. What I did not see in it was what I wanted to see the most.
Is the ability bar still limited to twelve slots? Can more than one ability bar be on screen at the same time?

Thank you! I'd like this to be added as well. My biggest concern with EoC was the limited slots on the action bar, and I was very much hoping the new interface would address this.. Looked through the first 18 pages and was very puzzled/disappointed that there was no mention until yours.

Also, the ability to zoom further out would be nice..

Disappointed how I didn't get access to the alpha considering the rather large amount of playing time I put into the EoC beta and how i'd imagine an account with my certain set of stats is rather rare in comparison to other accounts.
Not to mention my computer, an i7 3770k with a Radeon HD 7970 Ghz Ed. GPU but whatever :L hopefully i'll get in next time I guess..?

One thing i would really like to see from the new interface is the option to have multiple ability bars shown at once.

Often when using a shield i find myself out of space for all of the abilities i want, not to mention adding food and potions to the bar to keep my inventory closed

Currently it is also pretty annoying, in my opinion, to switch between weapons or even combat styles, because i have a different ability bar for 2-handed melee, 1 handed melee/Shield, and dual wielding. So in order to switch weapons (not even combat styles yet) i would have to open my inventory, click the one or two items i want to equip, and then remember which ability bar i need to use.

This system is a bit of a hassle when in PvP for the most part, as switching styles like this could leave you with half of your LP gone before you have a chance to really fight back.

So again, having the option to have multiple bars on the screen at once, would be a huge help, for example i could have, 1 bar for equipment/food, one for shield skills, and one for the combat style i'm currently using

I would really like to see this included in the new interface, if it is not already (I dont have access to the alpha yet)

I'd really like to comment, but STILL CAN'T GET IN! Received my invite via email, am a gold club member, yet, however many times I attempt to log in, I receive the same message...not logged out from previous session, or world too full. (just checked. 11 people playing in the Alpha world. Please fix this!!! (seems there are quite a few others having the same problem if what I'm seeing on the forums is an indicator...)

After several more sessions, I basically like the concept. Unfortunately the implementation, even though customizable, burns way to much real estate. That in conjunction with the limited zoom out makes the game frustrating and almost unplayable for me. Picking the "classic" defaults shrinks the screen from near full screen to the really old fixed size classic screen, making the situation even worse.

Would like to see themes to the interface, and be able to edit the opacity, the chat takes up a lot of the area, and not being able to see through there could have a disadvantage. The skills in the Skills Tab shouldn't be held in boxes if it was more free like the prayers then it would have a better look to it.

^freaky avatar dude^

I have another temp fix for you folks but this time for the WASD problem.

Hopefully this works. It works in regular RS so should work for alpha till they make a perm fix.

Simply assign one of the ''WASD'' keys to the target function. By default it is set to 't', but keybind it to either W, A, S or D and it should disable WASD as an alternative screen panning function.

Hope this helps.
