EoC could have been with six or seven more months of development and testing

I know they’ve been working on it for a while, but I’m just worried something will go wrong as usual. Even with the time alredy put into it I don’t want it to head down the path EoC did in terms of how it was handled (rush job). I’d be fine with a delay despite it being announce. There are some videogames I’ve played that I wish developers delayed long. Runescape 2007 Gold.

True enough. I always thought that their original plan was to release EoC with HTML5 thus making a much more clear distinction between RS2 and RS3, but they were pushed into releasing EoC early at the corporate level. After all, the release of HD with RuneTek 4/5 didn’t make it RS3. While I realize this will be both a graphical and an engine update I think the addition of the new combat system (EoC) at the same time would have made it clearer. Just imagine what EoC could have been with six or seven more months of development and testing.
