Will it be possible to play Runescape on tablets such as ipads since it will now be run on HTML 5? If not, do you plan to make this possible in the in the near future?

Not iPads, the HTML5 client requires WebGL which iOS doesn't support. It can kinda run on some Android devices, but it hasn't been specifically optimized to perform well on them (for example, they have no support for the soft keyboard, so if you want to type anything you need a Bluetooth keyboard). Making mobile and tablet apps is their next big project after RS3 is released though :)

Sounds like a really good month after all - after 4 months with tiny content bits afloat on an ocean of 'promotions' and microtransaction expansions.

Let's hope that after the release of RS 3, the time of sorry excuses is over, and we'll really see some months in which Jagex actually puts out real content again.

Like, say, a quest every month.

(Sorry, but until RS3 runs on other browsers than Chrome, the new graphics update simply doesn't happen for me. That piece won't get anywhere near my computer.)

No elf quest? Gnome? Arposandra? Kudos Island? Menaphos? Underwater city? Safalaan? Eastern Lands? Mermaids? YAWN boring month. Nothing new. This is the ONLY thing that'll get me to resubscribe now :(

Yes you have a quest but it sounds like a RFD and Cook's Assistant hybrid. Thought this year we'd get "year of the gods" and more The World Wakes style quests, with epic lore and stories. There's also a ton of undone material like the stuff I mentioned in the first paragraph.
me.

Also lol @ tradable rare

Don't even feel like this game is targeted to me anymore! :/

It seems every time a Jmod posts on the forums they ignore any kind of negative criticism.

Here's a question for you, Jmods:

You didn't overlook the fact that most pets are untradeable for a boss that needs to be killed in a large group, did you? Is the pet actually going to DROP if I do the boss in a group of friends with Coinshare/Lootshare enabled?

And the materials to make the new level 90 Armor better not be untradeable as well, because then the same problems are faced.

I can see this being overlooked. I can also see this post being ignored by a Jmod and they'll post something like, "Cool BTS!" instead.

Can say the only thing I'm looking forward to this month is Vorago, I'm not a quester so the quest isn't for me. Then again, who doesn't love bacon?

I am really dreading the release of RS3, the HTML 5 beta is still pretty much unplayable on an Apple Mac and I won't be switching computers to play a game. I won't play a game where I am unable to get the highest service that's available to me. I'd love to play in HTML 5, but the fact is it's not happening, I'm running an I7 mac and i'm lucky if i get over 5 fps.

The simple game which I once fell in love with has pretty much gone, perhaps it's time for me to finally leave too. If you are 115+ and looking for an active PvM clan then join "Os Eternity" in game.

I am also worried by the release of RS3. My laptop is capable of playing most new releases in terms of games, yet I still suffer from lag at times whilst playing RS2; the optimization is simply abysmal and I have a funny feeling that it is only going to get worse.

Also, Jagex, please update your servers.. A game is not enjoyable when the server decides to boot you off every 15 minutes.

On the BTS: Not good enough.
