A very reassuring post; exactly what we needed. Excited to see these changes come into the game.
Truthfully, if you care so much about our opinions, you should release a poll (very detailed, several questions) on the Evolution of Combat. There's no doubt that the number of players who DON'T want this update exceeds the number of people that do. If the poll proves that, you should scrap it.
Don't think the Combat Evo will be enough to keep me away from this game though. :) Again, thank you for this post, nice to see you communicating. Looking forward to seeing this game get back on track!

I would prefer to pay more for my membership, then to have endure the squeal and Salomon. Neither of them I like, both of them get more attention from the developmentteam and are ruining the game.
How hard can it be to know that micropayments will always ruin this game? I have never seen micropayments who are beneficial for the game.

I feel that Mod MMG just made a little promise then goes on droning about how great this game is, its integrity etc.
People are so naive sometimes. Do you honestly think all is well just because of this post?
Why are weekly SoF/sgs updates necessary?
You said there will not be any buyable xp/gold. The SoF is already doing it indirectly.
Not to mention a entire team on SoF.
And Finally, "the introduction of micro-payments to RuneScape has a significant role in ensuring that we can continue to support, develop and grow the game for many more years to come."
So how did RS survive from 2001-2011?

I find it really interesting. I'm glad to hear some response on all the negative feedback that players have given about SOF and SGS. With the money going back to help with the upcoming updates and make up for lost players makes it reasonable.
The Jagex Account Guardian is something that I will look forward to. It defiantly should help out with anti hacking.
RS HTML5: I totally cant wait to see this. No fog to cover unloaded map, Water looks so realistic, and just better graphics overall.

Thanks for a most interesting post. Great to hear that the game will be improved, both graphically, and content wise for a long time to come.
Looking forward to the new security measures being introduced. Having had some of my clan members suffer at the hands of account hijackers. This will bring some peace of mind to many of them.
The graphical upgrades look very nice too. The water textures in the screenshot look particularly nice, and the overall smoothness to all textures is impressive.

Nice to hear that xp or gold will not be sold in the game, and that the current gold sellers are on their way out. A spam free GE will be great.

All in all a bright future for the game and it's players. Can't wait to see it all introduced.

Jagex should do what some other game studios are doing and make everything that is available through RWT in SgS buyable with Loyalty Points. Then, if players want to, they can purchase RuneCoins with real world money and get the things in the stores for a cheaper amount.
ie: sell a cosmetic costume for 100 Rune coins but make it 1000 LP (or whatever the correct amount would be)
that way all players will always have access to the same things, but if they want to spend their actual $ and get it sooner, they can while at the same time not hurting other players' ability to get it later.
I think you guys should also stop selling spins on SoF for $, or at least make it possible to buy spins with Loyalty points.
While I know you guys are adamant about the fact that players are not 'buying' gold or xp, at the end of the day, if i buy spins, i WILL have more gold and xp than before i purchased them.

WOOOO!
Brilliant post! I've been a huge supporter of the micro-transactions; I've always been stating that the reason they exist is to really cement runescape as a long-running game.
Excited for the new anti-botting software and those screenies look pretty :)
