Hey Jagex, i hope this is in the right forum. I am not an avid forum user, i just want to at least attempt to highlight a few things about the mobile app that, in my non-expert opinion, could make or break OUR game.

1. In app purchase/micro-purchases/freemiums, etc: Please do not flood the mobile app with annoying options to use real world money to buy ANYTHING in the game...not cosmetics...and definitely not trade-able items. I realize that i am talking to an entire team of people, and hopefully no one person is making these decisions. I would like to use Activision and EA Games as examples to provide evidence that this WILL end you. Look at the player base's response to Destiny 2, and the use of micro-purchases in the game.....you cant hide it....we will find out....RS3 is what i would consider "flooded" with these annoying options....I know that Activision and EA Games are "big" companies, and appear to be successful....but they seem big from your perspective because they are profitable....but they are terrible from our perspective because they release shit games. Please prioritize building a relationship of trust between Jagex and the player base....we will take care of you if you try to produce a game that people will like versus a game that is profitable...tell your bean counters and financial experts to be patient...

2. The Lag: This is a much smaller issue than the first one....and i assume much harder to deal with on your end...mainly because it is probably not your fault 99% of the time....i know you guys will work hard to try and give us the best experience possible...

End note: I just want to say...i love this game...or at least i did when i was younger...My friends and i are all excited about this game coming out for the phone. We know that this game, if released successfully, will crush all other "mobile app" competition, and will raise the standard for mobile games, causing all of your competition to either follow in your footsteps or die out.....

I would also like to mention a few things that i missed in my main post:

1. I am aware that you can use real world money to buy gp in game....i think you guys did what you had to do in order to avoid collapse. I have been playing since 2002 or so...hard to be sure....but i have been through the whole story with you jagex....i was there in 2007 when pking and trading came to an end.

2. I probably have many thousands of hours played on this game. Some of my accounts probably arent even stored in your databases anymore...but maybe my advice could seem more valuable if i list my old accounts....i have no idea if you are able to verify my game time, but its worth a shot...or at least to me it is...Tedizrule2, Puki209, Godly Zeus, and Tehbl0ck are just a few of my old accounts...and those are in chronological order. Thank you for reading my post...

Honestly can't wait to get my hand on the beta

There will be some bugs at first because there will be many types of phones accessing this game and some problems might be specific to certain brands but is up to us as a community to report bugs and be patient at first.

I work at Apple Inc as a technician and I'm an iPhone user but I've noticed that in the UK, Samsung is a more popular brand and it concerns me a little bit that they haven't done much testing on iPhone yet. I hope I'm one of the early picks to test out the beta :D “We are more alike , my friends, than we are unalike .”

I'm also hoping to be one of the early picks for the Beta- we only have to wait til tomorrow to see! If not hopefully the second round. I'll be playing on an Iphone 5S so not the latest and greatest but hopefully with a portable power bank of 15kmAh i'll be set to go!
