So you think releasing rs3 so full of bugs and lag was a finished product ready for release. I pretty sure you need to rethink your conclusion.

I haven't experienced any lag whatsoever, and I play fullscreen.
Perhaps your computer specs are lower than what Jagex stated was necessary to run the game smoothly?

Also they didn't release the HTML5 version because they felt it wasn't ready, so it's still in beta.

Since September 2005 when I got my membership there has been bugs with every update, and there will be with every future one because not all bugs can be forseen without implementing the update into the live game. That is one of the drawbacks to writing code into a live game.
The release of RS3 didn't appear to have any more bugs than the normal amount.
the computer specs argument does not hold any water, as many ppl with brand new computers had problems with lag/blackscreens/other things. yes some bugs can occur, but with the release of Eoc and rs3, both had some huge problems. Eoc should've stayed beta at least 4 months from its release date, and this rs3 should only be ENTERING open beta testing now. thats how big the problems have been. Mage-kil-r, i would have to say that you dont follow the forums enuff to have seen the issues others have had

Looks good, The new skill hehe..

I´ve been a member since the Loyalty system got released so i´ve been gaining only 15k loyalty points a month... With the new system, do the players who are loyal since the beginning / for more then a year get some extra points? Or start with a higher amount of points?

Well, damn shame. I was about to do some skilling and did not expect for Divination to come out so soon, oh well, might as well. Rest of the month seems kinda nice. I hope there is option to not work with Sir Owen, but rather...betray him.

Dang! I'll be one of his pall-bearers then! :O
EDIT: The idea of working him up into a snit as a Zamorakian sounds kind of intriguing though, lol.

I joined Zamorak out of pure not-caringness, but now I'll have to consider my choice more carefully. Political patronage has never been a pretty thing.

All of the updates sound truly marvelous, looking forward to all of them!!!
Big "Thank you"s to Jagex and all the people who worked hard on these projects! :D

I divine that there will be butt-loads of
PURE BARBARIC NO-LIFE!!1!!

Wait... waitwaitwaitwait... wait. Wait.

I'm all for old quests getting reworked... the old Prince Ali Rescue, for example, was long in need of a facelift, and What's Mine is Yours is a much better quest than Doric's Quest ever was.

But Black Knights' Fortress is a prerequisite for many quests set firmly and immovably in the Fifth Age, including Wanted!, King's Ransom, and /very/ notably While Guthix Sleeps, and by extension, Ritual of the Mahjarrat.

However, The Death of Chivalry, which replaces Black Knights' Fortress, is being painted as a quest set solidly in the Sixth Age of Runescape.

I quest for the story. The story of Runescape is a big reason I've come back to this game over and over again over the years. And as a lore nut, the idea of a quest having prerequisites that are set chronologically /after/ when the quest has to occur... it sits very, very poorly with me. I hope I'm reading something incorrectly, or that the idea of this quest is not being communicated very well, because otherwise...

Runescape has an amazingly deep and well-thought-out story. I'd hate to see this hiccup get added, because to a lore nut like myself, it's not something that could easily be smoothed over. Maybe a different quest will become the prerequisite in place of Black Knights' Fortress, and The Death of Chivalry will become a stand-alone quest.

But whatever happens, I'd hate to see as involved of a story as Runescape's have such a glaring error in canon.

Black Knights' Fortress is being removed from the required quests of all the quests that require it. So, now you just go up to Sir Tiffy Cashien and get accepted into their group of white knights without really having any experience against the Kinshra at all. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but the quest itself looks cool.
