Awesome!
With the new and modified NIS added with RS3, Playing Runescape will be much more entertaining and will be a much more better experience!

A few things I'd like to see:
1) Private chat / split screen:
I always liked the split screen as it is now. The only thing I was really hoping for with NIS was an option to toggle '... logged in' messages on and off. While I understand that some players like to see who is getting online I'd prefer my setting to off as my friends hop a lot which causes quite a bit spam.
Another thing I'd like to see is a way we might sort our friends / clan / private chat lists. E.g. sort order options for world number or name a-z / z-a .
2) Camera Focal Point:
I'd prefer a way to see the game it is today. In NIS it felt like too much interface/player and less actual game environment around my character.
Even if I zoom out to the max, moving the cam over my head seems to make it focus on my feet instead of my head, thus showing less environment around my character.
3) Hiding Interfaces:
It's good the action bar can now be minimized, but I noticed we get a small icon for closing other interfaces. Maybe another small icon to minimize the interface would help. Just like windows.
4) Minimap: I don't know if it's just me, but graphic wise I prefer the old over the new minimap.
5) Mouse over players / familiars
One pain in the live game is that it shows us options for other players' familiars, pets, avatars. Often resulting in a 'this is not your...'
This can be a pain for people training agility, in crowded spots and so on.
Another thing that is completely unnecessary is the behaviour to use most items on another player. Example: Farming -> why would I use compost on the player underneath me? This mechanic may be useful in dungeons, soul- or castlewars where you heal another player, but elsewhere it's just annoying.
Last one may be a bug, but in NIS beta it always showed the request assist option on another player even when having assist off.
I really hope NIS will bring these improvements, not just focus on the 'graphical' part of the interface. Usability vs bloat.
