definitely appreciate the efforts jagex puts into r/s. have been playing [with a several year hiatus for job change] since 2002 and have been impressed that entire time.
despite my age [63], i don't think that i am entrenched in the past, but do agree that it would be nice to have the option to play the game without the massive e of c...
a difficulty i can foresee is that you might not want to have to do updates and additions to more than one instrument/framework. if r/s III is inevitable, i am sure that we will adjust!

Summoning
Definite answers to all the questions that Summoning poses aren’t ready yet, but it’s in the same boat as Dungeoneering. We’ll do what we need to make sure it works by the end of the beta, and we look forward to the opportunity for a thorough rework later on.

If i read this correctly even when beta goes live it will still have some major problems that you'll "look forward to the opportunity for a thorough rework later on" ?
How about you get all the problems sorted out BEFORE we're forced into playing the new version of Runescape ?
To be totally honest some of us are sick to death of being given all these new star spangled updates only to find out they, either 1 don't work properly or 2 are never finished off. Take for example the Citadel, we were given a wonderful place to hang out and work together with our clan friends but after tier 7 you can only add empty plots ?..How about making it so you can repeat plots or not be able to add extra plots at all ? and also how about making it so the clan owners/leaders can check on members recourse collection in other ways. i.e via the forum..
So, getting back to EoC, although this is going to be a major update it's not going to be completely finished and fine tuned the same as all other updates we, as players, have had to endure in the past and will probably turn out to be yet another let down from Jagex.

I hate the fact that we're gonna get forced into this... I played RS for it's unique way of play, now it will become more and more like every other game out there (with a few different tweaks). I RuneScape will lose ALOT of its long-time players when this goes live (but I guess with the hope that it will bring in a ton of new players?). Congrats

You could instead make a certain area in the wildy (above edgeville) into a single way combat zone with a border what you can clearly see (mabye a force-field barrier like the one in the dead zone in soulwars which comes out from the ground) and apply it to all worlds... most rs members will only PK on single way wildy worlds so this will break down this barrier before it will occur

I really hated the beta before; mostly because of the melee change. Melee is all I ever did really. After this change, the melee felt different and more usable again. In other words, I like it now.
I'm still upset about such a big change in such a short time, but I have faith in the EoC.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

"The best game we can make is the one that looks to the future, having an improved combat system but retaining the character of the game we know and love."
Screenshot of now..... screenshot of 06. Nice "RETAINING THE CHARACTER OF THE GAME WE KNOW AND LOVE."

^So we should stick with graphics that look like cardboard? Dude, that is not a legitimate reason to hate the Beta. If that is the best reason you can find, your arguement is in shambles. And thats optimisticly speaking. -Ascertes, King of all the Hallowlands and the Everchosen of Saradomin.

good improvements, especially with the xp rates which bugged the crap out of me.. but just a suggestion, I am playing on a rather large screen and wen i put the graphics up, everything expands except the inventory, chat box, and mini-map. It would be lovely to have the option of manually expanding these so they are more practical for my screen. Maybe make a screen customization in the options tab? Just a suggestion :)
