You do not have to specialise in RuneScape
Likewise, regardless of the actions bar being a big portion of RuneScape later on, we are not forcing everyone to interact with it. If you would like to keep interacting with RuneScape because you did before, you can, and you won't be penalised or handicapped by doing this -- indeed, it'll be possible to reevaluate the action bar if you would like to maintain your UI clear.
We've also stuck to our origins of freedom of choice. We're proud of the fact that you don't have to specialise in RuneScape, and we never aim to create a class system which locks out gameplay based on the choices you made when you created your account. I can not say too much just yet, but we're making a bunch of really cool changes to ensure that, however you develop your personality, you'll have a range of viable combat possibilities available to you. Stay tuned for much more info in a near future Og Blog!
Simplify code and balancing. The RuneScape code base has more than a decade of development layered onto it, and can be a tricky place for developers to do the job. Starting fresh with a centralised system means that we can spend time sifting through our code legacy and more time creating amazing content for you to enjoy. It is also the ideal time to rebalance many of the items that are poorly represented in the present game (such as adding additional benefit to 2h equipment throughout melee and ranged, and restructuring'weakening' charms ), and reconsider the things we believe to be too powerful. This means that every single piece of equipment will have tactical options connected with it, via its stats, associated NPC flaws, and skills available whilst using it. As I've mentioned previously, the relationship between DPS and recovery right now makes incorporating higher levelled equipment very tough, so we're rebalancing all of that also, giving gamers the ability to have tons more life points by wearing more armour. This, then, will give us the freedom to discharge bigger and better gear later on that is for much more suited to our elite gamers (those with one or more combat-related levels at 90+).
