Sounds nice! All the features are pretty cool, but I think that I'm most impressed with the many improvements that address issues/problems related to the current combat system - problems that have been here for a looong time (Lol).
Anyways, I won't be able to participate since I'm a free player, so I hope you lucky members enjoy that weekend with the Evolution of Combat Beta =P.
...and @Rho,
I have reason to think that choosing the players randomly is actually a very good idea. It keeps away bias from older players like ourselves. The whole point of choosing "random 50k players" is so that it removes any bias and allows for feedback that comes from ALL players. Just as Absinth3 said above, I'm not included in the Beta at all, but I feel that what JaGEx has chosen to do has been quite fair.
Great job JaGEx team; Thank you for these kind of updates =).

[EDIT: @Sir Smushy,
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It would definitely be better if those who actually read about the update (and therefore, could properly evaluate the combat update) were the ones that were chosen for Beta. In all honesty, it is rather unfair that only members can try out the Beta, since membership says nothing about the player's dedication or constructiveness in evaluating game updates. Regardless, it is better than if JaGEx had restricted it only to long-time players.]

sythe, although i do agree with you in that aspect, i cant list the number of video's about the beta that i've watched where the player making the video has NO IDEA whats going on. A few even wondering out loud, "whats this bar thingy?" and that aggravates me to no end.
if there had been any way to select only players that had actually read up on the changes (which almost all fairly long time players had) it would have given them better feedback in the long run.
an even better idea, would have been players with more then 3 years of membership, but it doesnt matter whether its consecutive or not. (possibly in addition to the one year consecutive members)
I've been playing rs since 2001, this account having been created in '04, and been a member on and off since then. Unluckily for me, i allowed my membership to fall off in the past year, due to collage and didnt get in.

Sounds interesting, but I'm a bit worried about even completing a game of Castle Wars. I remember the massive amount of lag and congestion during the double drop events with the bot nuke last year. There's already a limited number of servers, so I'm just waiting for sitting not being able to do anything for my game of Castle Wars, if I even get in at all... Basically, good idea, but there's a history of poor execution with these types of events.

You win, sir
