Edit:
I found it feel free to remove this

[ShadowWolf94]

Sorry but I find this combat update to be ridiculous. will this effect all of rs or just pvp?

[CapuDie]

It will effect all of rs.
It's the evolution of combat, an overhaul of the entire combat system.

[DJ Phox]

well, all of rs that is combat related, obviously it won't affect things like crafting unless you count your killing of monsters for hides as part of the crafting skill :/

the abilities bit really is not all that bad, it's just different. I find most don't like it because they can not click and go make dinner... but in all truth you still can, you just can't use good abilities if you do. runescape will actually become a game that you actually play. I like the abilities, I like the dual wiedling... I don't like the monsters attack styles changing.

[Seinami]

Certain monsters will be higher than others for the time being until they begin to strike down to the lower levels to fix that they might be suited more 'for' lower levels.

There are thousands of monsters in RS, it might take a while.

[LordIDismembered]

I can see some new dungeons available to raid shortly after the update comes along, similiar to many other online games

I don;t think there are thousands of monsters... maybe 1000 at the most but I doubt it...

[St Squiggy]

There may be, just have to go to the end of the Monster DB and see

[CapuDie]

There are about 530 monsters, but we haven't got the dungeoneering monsters and I doubt we have every other single monster in the database...

[IvyfpopMC]

Actualy, are you guys counting every different type of monster, Ie. Cow with 3 spots, and cow with 4 spots.

[argonith1993]

After plating the combat beta I'm actually looking forward the the change. It is new but to keep any frame flowing you need to keep things fresh.

[TiberSeptium]

omg

Updated the abilities list to the current state.
