JaGeX, the company behind the MMORPG known as RuneScape, is hard at work on implementing a very large update to their game that I actually think is hilariously late. The update in question is titled "Evolution of Combat".
The Good
- The new character models are looking fantastic and seem to offer a broader range of animations.
- Dual-wielding is finally possible, so we have a reason not to want a shield.
The Bad
- The "Action Bar" will probably make grindy tasks even more grindy, resulting in simpler skill progression.
- New interface means having to relearn a lot of gameplay elements since a lot of the game revolved around mouse clicks.
The Silly
- The "Action Bar" is just the standard hotkey bar you have seen in many previous MMORPGs and even modern games, including Dungeon Defenders and Guild Wars!
- Can you dual-wield shields? I think I play Skyrim too much!

Evolution of Combat is supposed to launch at the end of August.
