The funniest part of this - Is that this is the ONLY MMORPG which has gone backwards rather than forward.
The only way "Foward" this game has gone, is to bandwagon and put in silly action bars, and copy every bloody MMO out there. I like how the mods during the interview used quite alot of terms which are also in other MMO's - Rotations.
You also force the player to use specific styles of killing monsters if they want more efficiency, and speed.. Here are a few examples:
Dragons - Bow
Abberent Spectres - Thrown
Metal Dragons - Water Spells
What is the point of having "oh thrown items are best for this" - is it to encourage to use completely redundant items like knives and javelins?
Specific Spell Types - like the above, water spells... Why not just have it as "Magic" ?
Why should I have my account for almost 10 years (playing on and off) to be told that "Right, if you don't use our little action bar features we stolen from other MMO's; you're simply just going to be less efficient" - On top of that, it's a laggy piece of trash.
As it stands, there are 121,000 or so people online at the time of this post, there are also about 58000 or so playing the Old School.
What does that tell you? It tells me that one third of the player base hates the "New RuneScape"
I have also played MMO's like WoW, Rift, Aion, SWTOR.. They all use the same system. I most recently quit WoW and SWTOR getting bored of them, I come back to RuneScape (again)
Momentum - As the most useless ability which has ever been driven into any game.
