Holy balls... that third screenshot. Too bad I'm too much of a newb to know my specs... 

[AmusedDragon]

Looks like I'll go without the beta since I refuse to buy their silly package.

[Beric]

Glad I've had continuous membership. 

[Bobby]

i received the shaft on that one.

[Tristan]

Guess I can spend a little time checking it out when the beta starts. For those who don't get to test it I am sure those who are able to can share screenshots or maybe we can even get someone to stream a bit ?

[Sansa]

That looks beautiful

Something I hadn't really thought about till like 15 minutes ago is NXT and botting. Will this finally destroy those annoying cheaters from abusing our game? At least for like 4 weeks? Make it harder to bot or something? Has jagex looked into this or is there anybody else who has?

[Douglas]

Depends on the coding of the client, pzs 

[Izay]

So Jagex wants to exclude 99% of all PCs with the "very fast HDD or SSD" requirement? Even today most PCs often have the standard 7200RPM HDD & laptops have 5400RPM units. I know these are just the requirements for the Beta but it sounds like most people won't meet them for that reason.
