My steam id is 17 digits, so i provided only the first 16, will this hurt my chances of selection u/JagexDoom

This has been flagged up to the team running the survey and they are working on getting it resolved atm.

The Steam information portion is asking for a 16-digit Steam ID, but the one on my Steam Profile is 17-digits. Won’t let me proceed.

We've updated the form to accept 17 digit steam IDs - give it another try now, thank you!

I'd say resubmit to be on the safe side - thank you Dan!

In the survey you ask for a Steam 16 digit id, but the steam id consists of 17 digits.

That's on me, I must have a particularly ancient Steam ID - we've fixed the form for 17 digit steam IDs so everyone can complete it now!

Fck, don't have my Steam ID at work, hopefully spaces still later D:

We'll be accepting applications for a while yet, so don't worry!
Though, how can anyone work through this afternoon with this kind of excitement!?

The select menu for GPU model is missing at least a few items. I have a GTX 1080 TI and an RX 6700 XT, but the only options were the base GTX 1080 and RX 6700, which are materially different GPUs. I went ahead and selected the closest match, but the lack of specificity likely isn't ideal for data collection.

u/jagexdoom

Hiya! We initially had an exhaustive list (that was so long that it was impossible to scroll through) but we've bracketed the GPUs and CPUs into their nearest serial point - If you have a 1080 Ti, then select 1080, and if you have an RX 6700 XT, please select the RX 6700. They're different, but close enough that we have an idea of the kind of hardware you have, which is all we'd need to know for now. Thank you!

I have a 6 figure Steam ID and I realise now that it's because I'm old. Thanks.

Good luck to all who sign up! I can't wait to hear what you think about all of our hard work over the past 3 years.

How will we know when it's been fixed? Signed up as well :)

We've fixed the form and it should be accepting 17 digit Steam IDs now too!

While I know Jagex is capable of creating a great game, I have a sour taste in my mouth of a studio that developed a skillset on this ancient game and engine, making a modern game. Interest is peaked though

This is a really good point, genuinely. Be assured that the large majority of devs working on this project have huge, extensive industry and tech experience outside of Jagex. There are one or two idiots like me working on it too, but I've modernised my knowledge, I promise.

Haven’t seen anyone ask but is this game ment to replace rs3 or be another option to play like both current rs and osrs are? That’s the real question

Absolutely not replacing anything, it will be another option to play alongside the MMO games.

If I submitted a response in the first 5 minutes of it being out, just leaving off the last digit, should I fill it out again with the full ID, or notify someone if contacted by email? I don't want to be disqualified by submitting multiple entries.

You won't be disqualified, don't worry - and also, don't worry about being early to signing up! We aren't selecting testers by who completed the form fastest. I really appreciate you being so eager to participate. It means a lot.

Hey, u/jagexdoom , do we know a general timeframe on when we should look out in our emails for any type of response on this? :)

We'll be reaching out to an initial batch by this time next week, but if you haven't received an email at that stage, don't be discouraged! We're going to be scaling our tests up and getting more and more feedback as we go, so we'll be in touch soon enough, I'm sure!

No problem! Just put 3080 for now - thank you!

gpu list needs update too, i have a rtx 2060 super. 8gb vs 6gb non super

If it's closer in specifications to a, say, 2070, then feel free to drop that in instead. It's a way for us to get a rough aggregate/estimate of people's hardware and what we're testing for, here!

i've know of the project for a time now via things like job adverts for a "new survival game" and the such, and as a huge survival game enjoyer and runescape addict i'm really interested to see what Jagex can bring to the table, i think the only thing that actually beats my runescape playtime is my survival genre playtime in total.

here's hoping i get in, i'd like to think i know what makes a decent survival game given i've played well over 20k hours of them, i'd love to have the opportunity to help shape one with my feedback.

We're hoping to earn your praise with this one - it's a work in progress, so feedback like yours will be very valuable. We look forward to getting this in people's hands.

If you haven't heard from us by this time next week, don't lose hope, we're going to constantly be expanding our range of testers so keep your eyes peeled for an email from us!

After Stellar Dawn, I’m very much in a “wait and see” mode.

That's ok! We're very aware that this news may be met with some trepidation but that's the reason we're here today - to ask for help from folks to make this the best it can be. That way, the people who chose to "wait and see", will like what they see!

I have a GTX 3070 but the only selection that was close enough was a 1070. I hope that'll be alright?

There should be 30 series cards on the list, I'll have a look in the morning, but please pick the closest series card if you can! Otherwise, hold fire until tomorrow and we'll get the list checked. Thank you!

u/JagexDoom how long would an email take to receive after signing up?

We've sent out an initial batch of emails - check your spam folders, but also, we're still expanding out our Alpha participant groups! As we get more people involved, we'll keep sending out invites. If you've not heard from us yet, that's ok! We're still looking to invite more testers so keep your eyes peeled for an email in your inbox from us.
