The shading seems to take a really long time to load and the scenery fills in slowly, so I am hoping this improves over time, part of it is probably due to being in some areas for the first time.

Since I mostly do Player Owned Ports, and a daily challenge in Dungeoneering on most days and little else other than slay some Abyssal demons, and mostly avoid combat otherwise since the EOC changed combat not to my liking, I have not had a lot of interest in the Beta. Graphics are not that important to me, otherwise I would not have been playing RuneScape for the last decade or more. The game play is what is important to me.

I tried to do some Dungeoneering in the HTML5 Beta, but every time I tried to open a door to leave the starting room the game crashed, so hopefully that is fixed soon if not already.

I'm kind of curious to see the underground pass in HTML5, to see how such a vast area underground would look.

I've been finding potions and food useless, and hate how banks heal and having Lifepoints on armour, as it really diminishes gameplay having little use for food or potions, or even prayer. If I had one thing I could ask changed, it would be remove lifepoints from armour, then everything else would probably be corrected that was changed because of Lifepoints being on armour. I think the gameplay would be a lot better if Lifepoints were on our characters instead of on our armour. Hi.

Your talking about combat lvls becoming relevant again. It wont happen because all the time they can get a lvl 120 to buy armour that will help them beat a lvl 200 they are going to keep it that way.

I have one question. How does Jagex plan to support players (such as poor university students like myself) who operate on older laptops? Runescape 3 looks like it will have amazing graphics and content (kudos), but it looks like it will require a substantial amount of hard drive to properly operate. Perhaps you could allow Runescape 3 to have a safe mode?

Respectfully,
Azelkor

Looks good, but just in case, try not to release it too early for the sake of a deadline (like EoC). Take your time to make it look as good as it should.
Can I have five more seconds to make my peace?

I am very pleased to have bought the Gold Membership, and therefore have unlimited access to both Beta servers.

Each time I log into one I see the improvements made since my last log in.

Does freak me a bit though that ranks in my clan chat are altered on the Beta, I have to try not to look ;)

Appreciate all the pioneering work you are doing Team Jagex.

Howdie Jagex et al,
Ok this is one of my 3 accts so I speak for the three of me =)

First off, the first time entering I've noted a long long time for the page to load.
Once loaded (as all beta goes) the frame rate and lag is still the same.
Again, I have seen N O water but I have heard the sound fx. This was both in Brimhaven with ships floating in mid air and in the Feldip/Oger region.
I have as always tried changing all settings from one end of spectrum to the other.
Yes, the frame rate and lag (somewhat) are less at the lower end (min settings) but still no water. Since the html5 and all google products use alot of resources older computers will not be able to play in the rs3 world (sighs) but I still say that I do like the graphics/sounds in this medium.
Having said all the above I am looking into getting the newest video card my older system can handle but the 2gig memory is as far as this system will allow.
I'm looking into saving lots of bottles and cans to (recycle) make money to buy a newer system =3

Dearest jagex...
Did you think about browser's limit?
I'm not really sure about that, but probably browsers got some sort of ressource capacity.
With Java, the computer's work was less dependant from the browser (both client side and server side).
But with HTML5, the client sided work is TOTALLY dependant from the browsers, therefore, is more limited because of the browser maximum capacity (if it even exist of course).

P.S. i'm not sure about what i said, i'm only a web developper, after all. But maybe what i said can be a start.
