The degradation of Old School RS
Jeez, that has to be one of the worst idioms in the English language to cite. Not only is it grammatically incorrect (reminiscent of something someone who barely made it through 5th grade would say), but it also seeks to prevent any sort of progress. Things may be fine, but they can be better. Not only that, but it also says that the combat system wasn't broken, which is 200% wrong. Everything was wrong with it. It wasn't engaging, it wasn't balanced, it wasn't logical. It needed to be fixed.

The degradation of Old School RS
I feel like a lot of pkers think EOC is bad because they're inadequate. Granted, I'm sure a lot of them haven't tried it, but some have. Those who have given it a chance and still don't like it are probably just bad at using a more complex system. Before EOC, you could just click on another player, eat when low on hp, and switch to a ko weapon when they're low on hp. That requires almost no skill. A monkey could be trained to do it. Now, in order to kill another player, you have to make sure you follow the combat triangle, use abilities at the correct time and in the correct order, and manage your health and prayer appropriately. Honestly, it's pretty tough. There's a lot of stuff to focus on and it requires a lot of knowledge. This is what pking should be like, and, really, any complaint about it is just because it's too hard. I'll admit that there are some issues with the EOC. For example, there are only level 90 melee weapons, none for ranged or magic. They can almost tear through any armor, at least any armor cheap enough to be risked. They're cheap enough to be ubiquitous, though, so it's fair, at least. There are a few more quirks and unsatisfactory bits, but, honestly, they're not worth quitting over. There's a lot more wrong with 07 than there is with post-EOC RuneScape.

picking items up priority?
IP is used to sort the action queue. In other words, the lower your IP, the sooner your actions are processed by the server.

99 all skills?
Pretty sure the max attack roll thing was confirmed. It's possible that it uses the highest bonus in each style, which explains the extreme ranged potion thing. You'd get the same effect with an extreme attack potion. If you train ranged outside of cannoning and chinning, you won't beat anyone to max, it's almost the slowest skill in the game using traditional methods.

I know what you mean. It seems like it fits almost too perfectly.

Divination - one of the new skills reported by IGN
That'd be really cool, actually. I'd love a Sliske book.

If you stand in the right spot on the bridge, you can use surge to go through the fence. You can't land in any other cage though, I tried everything :/

I could see the climax of the god series coming to this. Maybe Jas will end up being the white wolf mountain (would slightly justify the living rock creatures. Where Ful might be I'm not entirely sure. I would like to think that these elemental beings as being quite huge. Conversing with them might only explicitly be done through a conduit such as tokhaar-hok. Jas would be Ice Mountain if it were used to explain the Living Rock Creatures. Yeah I meant ice mountain. I don't know why I said white wolf... Any ways I'm willing to bet due to the unknown nature elemental god lying down to sleep that she might be the anima mundi. I think it's certainly possible that Dramen would be responsible for the anima mundi, considering that she is responsible for the power that connects realms (the Dramen tree), of course this hinges on the idea that the 3rd elder god(dess?) is Dramen.

The Zarosians didn't know that they wanted Guthix to die. After his death they recognize that he probably should have, and that Sliske had the most foresight and was the best mahjarrat.

Future Update Discussions
You aren't understanding me. Why are Tumeken, Bandos, and Seren gods when they have no (known) connection to elder artifacts or haven't killed another god. Bandos was probably a general that ascended in a way similar to Zamorak, but I'm unsure about the rest.

Doesn't really answer how the other gods were powerful.

All of the gods had an artifact, that's how they're powerful. Guthix had his sword Armadyl and Zamorak had the staff Saradomin had his crown and the stone Zaros had the frostenhorn, but that only amplifies power so he must have had something else Bandos, Tumeken, and Seren had ???
