wouldn't EoC players have a huge advantage? abilities made training sooo much faster. especially being on the same server, weird imo.

They'd probably balance XP rates and damage output so that they would be the same no matter what mode.

If that is the case, then EoC becomes obsolete. If anything, I view this as a huge backpedal (and an attempt to have OSRS players play RS3).

It'll probably be more well thought out than what I said but I have no idea, I'm not them haha.

I think you're right about that. Perhaps they can't control the bot flood in OSRS and want to encourage those players to come back to RS3 where better detection systems exist. I like OSRS too much to go back, but I'd like to see what the new mode feels like.

I would love this update, it feels like such a waste to redo everything I did in rs3 in osrs. :/

Jägex definitely has the ability to stop most of the osrs bots.

If they change combat back, I might actually consider getting a membership to test lol

I didn't go to OSRS when it came out for this exact reason.

Nevertheless I do enjoy EoC but I would be ecstatic of this goes through!

I vote yes!

Might come back to "eoc"!

Finally. We all knew this was going to happen.

It's about time

They said they will make it competitive to stay on eoc. Considering it's already nearly impossible to die in EOC, the huge xp rates with abilities, I don't see why you would use the old combat system.

EOC should never of happened without consulting the player base.

This would be good to have. Legacy mode should be made mandatory for minigames such as Stealing Creation. That would revive some of the old minigames.

I'm glad they are bringing it back. But how they will level out the monsters and abilities to be equal I'm not sure about.

So does this mean that Jad will actually be doable? Finally training combat without having to monitor how the actionbar works! Although I hope that what the video said was true where range and mage are going to get a buff.

Jad is doable, so are the jads in the kiln. But if your not used to the new combat system I can see it being a pain in the ass.

Range had some of its abilities buffed early January. I haven't heard of anything else, although I sure hope so since it's me favorite combat style. :P

Hopefully this legacy stuff works out for Jagex and the players, i'd like to see the wilderness back to the way it was.

We also get the old interface system. Hopefully that will help when making scripts

Probably going to have some stupid Jagex Optimization Station for the inventory where it's like the old interfaces, but only a little bit worse.

Mod Mark said they would try to balance it PvM wise. In PvP it would be impossible so he talked about making legacy mode servers and eoc servers for pvp activities and even a cross server for PvP for those legacy players who wishes to lose their claws quickly.

Apart from that it's embarassing to watch Jagex make all these big changes to Runescape and just semi-reverting them because they lose players. I don't think this is the right way to make players come back to rs3.

i hope its better than all the other big updates
can't wait till this arrives though
wish they just brought back bounty hunter
