You may have heard about the Legacy Mode Beta which has been open since a week now if I am not mistaken. This is bringing back the old combat before EOC which those who now got use to EOC doesn't want it to be happening and this might bring back a few old school players back to the real world of Runescape.
No abilities, with auto-attack damage scaled up.
Pre-RuneScape 3 interfaces - resizeable and fixed.
Old-style minimap icons.
A maximum-possible life point value of 990.
We've also put together a batch of changes to improve combat for everyone - introducing some of your most-requested features, while addressing some long-standing balance issues with EoC.
You can try these out in the beta today
An updated version of the 138 combat formula, with equal contribution from melee, ranged and magic.
Special attacks on weapons.
Strength bonuses have replaced critical hit chance.
Ability damage has been fine-tuned to address some long-term imbalances. Damage output potential remains the same, but weaker abilities have been improved and overpowered abilities toned down.
More life points come from stats than from armour, and combat triangle penalties and bonuses are slightly relaxed.
To read it from the Runescape site itself just click Here (http://services.runescape.com/m=news/legacy-mode-beta---now-open) :)
I have just took a bit from the site to here :)
Also once you have tried the beta or you are familiar with old combat, please post your point of view of this Legacy Combat coming soon!
