I have to express my dissatisfaction with the decision to make part 2 of beta (July 6th) only available on the weekends, I find this very unfair not just to myself but to several other paying members as well. I'm unavailable on weekends because of my job and I'm willing to bet that a large number of other paying members also have work on weekends, be they adults or students with part time jobs.

Jagex, I was selected to play the Beta. Honestly telling you now, I dont like the update at all. The beta lags a lot, and it just isnt tht fun. Plus it takes 30minutes to kill someone in the wild. You do this update the so called 200m accounts created is going to decline in number. I love Runescape, but this update coming up is NOT Runescape. Come out this update and you'll lose a loyal customer.
Regards, Ext

Oh you guys, seriously. I have been a member since Jan 2009 and i got picked out. A friend of mine has been member from Oct 2008. He didn't get picked.
This thread is full with people complaining on how they couldn't get in, why not think, hey, this might be random?
Jagex probably received too many ''accepted contracts''. As you know there are like 10k people that got chosen to play from the maybe 100k contracts of people being member for a long time.
ITS RANDOM GUYS, STOP RAGING ABOUT IT. You'll have your chance to play soon enough. As you might know a couple of people who got into the beta, ask them. With the lagg every 3 steps it's close to impossible to review the combat updates at all.

Hope i cleared you mind.
Best regards,
Nintu

Jagex-- i hope you really are reading all of these like you sadi you would because there are a lot of unhappy people here and i am one of them. let me start by saying that the graphics are great. thats where the good part ends. there are some very poorlyt designed aspects to this update:
1) i hope the lag is because of the small number of worlds and large amounts of people, so i wont get too upset by that.
2) the side bar with the abilities is NOT user friendly. to have to scroll down and click on bars every time you want to add a fight skill is not working
3) the off hand items need to look different in order for to find them easier. who wants to mouse over every item just to see what it is. most of us know what we want just by looking at it.
4) having to click on the chat window to talk is also NOT user friendly- may jussbe a glitch though
5) trying to figure out what my constitution is just by what im wearing is too awkward, however i like the idea of a boost to defense or something based on your armor, but the way you did it is also NOT user friendly
6) you add armor and have to eat food in order to get your points to the new level or wait for a long time for them to go up on their own-- waste of food and bad for the economy and prices of food-- not to mention the bad bad bad idea of food working based on your level very bad idea on that
7) MY BIGGEST ISSUE AND THE ONE THAT MAKES ME CONSIDER MY MEMBERSHIP--i used to fight tortises for the shells for summoning, plus they were ok xp- i was cb lvl 124 in old world, now an 188 93 att def and str 94 hit pts 91 magic and 90 ranged-- tortises were lvl 90 something, now are 70 something and i get 30 xp for fighting them!!!!! REALLY????? LOOSING OUT ON XP BECAUSE YOU FIGHT LOWER LVL THINGS FOR THEIR DROPS OR CHARMS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN YOUR NEW COMBAT UPDATE.
I know you put a lot of work into this but overrll i'm sorry to say i think it is a major failure, you have effectively taken all of the work players have p

put into this game and made it worthless. i know you have to think about the future but for God's sake don;t forget about what got you 200 million accounts in the first place. do you really think this update will get you another 200 million... from the sounds of the complaints i dont think it will. please rethink this!!!!!
