Good Job guys!!!
,you really put all your virtual blood,sweat and tears into this. :D .It is not as laggy as I thought it would be,but I have to say that i'm sad that
Divination
won't be a F2P skill.I just hope that Skill 2 will be F2P and that new Gods will also come during this world event.
ZAROS is yet to return...
:O

I'd have to look back on this, but from what I remember at least one of the skills was supposed to be free to play, and since divination isn't, I guess the next one will be. Also I'm guessing your computer is slow, because you posted this like 5 times.

Great job Jagex, it's awesome to see how this has progress in such a short period of time, and it's great to see how everyone is responding to it. :)

I just hope that Divination isn't going to be hunting the dead particles of Guthix through World Events because that's what it's looking to be at the moment.
Here, I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret!

Four days on from RuneScape's biggest ever update

Ummm this update was microscopic compared to the release of RS2.

With RS2, you completely rewrote the entire game engine, and rebuilt the entire game world from scratch , from Al Kharid all the way to the Underground Pass.

Explain to me how a customizable interface is a bigger update than that?

I really disliked this video. Way too much patting yourselves on the back while players continue to struggle ingame. With possibly the exception of EoC this has by far been the least polished update in my 8 years of playing this game. None of the testers even looked at Vorago in RS3 before launching, it's not a matter of bugs that pop up once thousands of people scour the game's content, it's abundantly obvious to anyone who sets foot in there one time.

"We fixed all the major bugs now" Please tell me how dying at PvM more often than not because of the glitched ability bar isn't "major". Please tell me how typing in general chat causes the activation of keybinds for no reason isn't "major".

These aren't minor bugs and complaints that are left. They are an entire portion of the game screwed over and those are just the ones I personally experience each time I log on.

First of, RS3 is ok. I love the lag improvements, that's a giant one for me, the increased screen size(see more at one time) is welcome, and a new engine to make the game smoother is nice. I like the changes you guys did to the games code. It feels smoother, runs better, and looks nice.

With that said, Id like to point this stuff out. Battle of Lumbridge is a nice step, but I don't think its a good one. The idea is nice, choose a side, wage multi month wars. I like that you guys are trying to stir the pot, but I don't like you guys mixing in well used ingredients. Planetside2, WoW, Rift, so many games are having this same gameplay idea, but the other games know it needs to be a side course, not a main event. And even though its a world waking event, it takes a small part of the map, and even then it doesn't offer that much to the player. It seems like you wanted to put something bizarre in, not something fun, or good, just bizarre to be new and weird (which is the exact opposite of what makes runescape fun for me).

The new lumbridge castle voting is a great touch. It has been a while since I felt my voice was affecting runescape. That opening cinematic was epic. It's not the best looking, but you guys used your materials well this time. I was staring at the screen in practical awe as sara and zamy cracked the world asunder.

To finish this off, I like RS3's direction, but not the execution. The battle of lumbridge event is ok, but it could have been spun a lot better, I feel like you could have quested before it, or some warm-up, instead of just crammed in there ( some guy asked for polished buttons but couldn't find the H.A.M. hideout under the battle of lumbridge). I feel like recently you guys are adding stuff into runescape to add stuff into runescape , instead of adding stuff to make the game more fun. I played this game for a while, and I am serious when I say, I come here to taste runescape, not WoW or Rift. Please keep rs your flavor, not WoW's or Rift's
