Will the Wild have clear skies so that pkers can see anyone in it?

What sort of feedback is wanted? A comment like it looks cool is not particularly helpful I imagine.

How are we being tracked? What sort of data will be gathered? What would be useful for us to try out in terms of testing, if accounts are being data-crunched in some way?

PS I shall do my best to break it on the first day by fighting and jumping around as much as possible :P

Have you guys done anything about multiple story buildings?

In most areas, when you or another player goes up a ladder, or stairs, you really can't see them up there. its like they've disappeared. its like the "second story" is it's own little world. But some areas in Castle wars you're able to stand on top of a wall, and see the people below. Are you planning on fixing this in Rs3? maybe make stairs more realistic, where we actually see players going up and down them, and have the ability to see out windows at the people on the ground below, or to be able to stand in the Lumbridge castle courtyard and watch as somebody atop the castle erects the flag. I believe an update like this would improve the appearance of the game, as well as enrich the gameplay and possibly have an interesting effect on pvp (i.e. using range or mage to attack somebody above/below you) making the game MUCH more realistic. This is something I, and I believe a lot of other players would enjoy seeing implemented into the game.

Any thoughts on this Jagex?


(Now that I think of it, it's also a feature already used in pest control)

I do recall not too many years ago that this was an option in the graphical settings. And it was not around very long, and if i recall it only worked for 1 level difference between two stories....I think they may have removed it because of potential lag issues? I don't know but, I miss that. it was one of those things like sleeping bags. They played around with it and then the idea vanished into the aether it seemed.

So basically, slightly better graphics and interfaces to overwork our systems, or continue using the buggy outdated java client at the expense of Jagex server resources. Personally, my system would meet the specifications, but my laptop tends to heat up quite a bit when it's overworked, so I'd prefer the java.

The graphics 'improvements' areas in Java are one of the primary reasons I've found for major lag. With the graphic improvements to HTML5, does that mean that the Java alternative can be tweaked to provide better performance to the low end systems that will be using it?

If a Windows Server platform is being used, have they considered using a Server Core environment in Windows Server 2012 to help centrally manage their game servers while maximising server resources and improving network efficiency between game worlds?

Hopefully this isn't an update where Jagex introduces content for one set of players, and disregards the views from players who won't use the update. It feels like the game is currently pushing forward really hard in one direction, providing 2007 content in another direction, and the people in the middle who just want Jagex to slow down are feeling the strain from the tug of war that ensues.

I am using a recent and up-to-date Ubuntu (12.04 iirc) with nVidia GPU and i5 CPU. I would be utterly disappointed if it does not run on this quite common combination of hardware and OS. I also installed native Google Chrome next to the Ubuntu version named Chromium.

Can a JMod please give some feedback on this?

@Daern - the ones in the spam folders are probably the ones from the fake RS site with a very similar name to runescape. I know two people that have already been caught out by it, and it's not even the release date yet.

Sending e-mails out to advise of the beta access is not the smartest idea. I can only hope that Jagex meant a message in the player profile inbox?

Surely...
