"So am I the only one who noticed the hack in the HTML5 pic? 0 LP? Cheater!"
It's just incomplete, clearly that variable hadn't loaded, perhaps not even having the functionality to load yet - in case you didn't notice, the minimap was missing as well.
Generally speaking though, html should improve performance a lot - generally speaking html5 has allowed web apps to rival similar apps stored on a systems HDD in terms of performance; depending on just how much they take advantage of it, it could potentially mean an insane performance improvement on the client end, as well as in improvement in server performance as more files would be stored temporarily on the client system..I'd pretty sure all account data etc and probably basic world data too will be stored on the servers still, but the potential for performance improvements is pretty massive.
...regardless of that though, they still need to do something about the gp/xp selling that is SoF - as is MMG might as well be lying about game integrity and the like, SoF is the worst threat to game integrity I've seen in a long long time...and the only others that even come close were bugs that were removed shortly after they were found, rectifying the problems before it became a real issue..has this been done with SoF? Nope, in fact, they've even been making it worse and worse and advertising the hell out of it, damaging the games integrity and the trust for the company more and more with each rendition of SoF in the news/in-game ads (that we pay to not have btw...they're unwanted and get in the way, and are clearly advertising a product, whether it's 1st party or not is meaningless, they're still ads, and they still need to go)

I have 100% trust in them that they will never go down the road of selling full on rsgp, xp, and accounts. I'm very thankful MMG wrote this for people to read. The only thing that concerns me is he always leaves out the actual results of people buying spins solely for xp lamps. Entrepreneurs kids, or any other type of wealthy family would not hesitate to let their kids spend hundreds of dollars to get their skills up. This is where I'm shaky about the integrity of rs. I give my full 100% support that Jagex does microtransactions, I do not support that a fraction of these includes in game benefits such is xp lamps, and bank space. If these microtransactions were solely for cosmetics, Jagex would not have this drama flaming up everywhere.

This is the type of news that should be featured on your news path. Not spaming it with micro-transaction crap.
Saying that you are looking into upgrading the client to a new one is something worth posting as news. Then on the bottom label the things you have done with the micro-transactions.
The community is upset because at this current time all we have gotten was updates for SoF, and the new Shop that i dont even give a crap about, nor do i even care to learn and spell its name correctly. Your last few key updates were SoF, QBD, Shop. Then a ton of tweaks and "patches", and updates for the SoF and Shop.
How do you think the community feels when what appears to be your main focus is to ring more money out of your loyal community, even after a price raise.

So the money from the bots, made you hire a lot of people which you cannot support after the bot nuke?
So now you have to make Runescape Pay2win (Please don't act like we're born yesterday, it's pay2win now).
But you know what... I don't blame any of you. Andrew left. Runescape is not the game people used to love. We can't quote something that was said by the team years ago, these are different times.
Capitalism is the best friend of Jagex now, and your game will eventually rot.

SoF and SGS really put a bad taste in my mouth, with selling bank space really pushing me to be worried about the future of the game. This post is something I needed to see and all I can say is I hope it's true and this is the worst it gets

@Sorion Hex X - Interesting analogy. I'll have to refamiliarise myself with the reference, since it's been a while.
Thanks for all the feedback and comments, guys. I'm sorry if I'm not able to personally reply to every single one. As you can see, the thread is moving at a rather incredible rate and there's only so much information I have to offer beyond the news posts.
Remember there will be a series of Q&A sessions in the near future where you can forward any specific questions/concerns to the people involved in them.
I notice a lot of cynicism and skepticism in the comments. Hopefully these will be allayed with the Q&A sessions and future news posts/content.
Keep the comments coming and we'll continue to take the feedback.
