I hope he will release a final test client. Much easier to find more glitches if all other ones are fixed.
There will be a final testserver release with a feature-complete client once the last 40 bugs are fixed and the new pathing is fully added. The auto-updater will not be a part of it yet, but that'll be the only thing missing - we'll be working out the final adjustments once the new testclient is released, so we can keep at least somewhat busy while the players are doing their final tests.

The current bughunter contest will be ended when the new testclient is out, the winners will be declared and rewards immediately handed out, then we'll be organizing a second bughunter contest with slightly lower rewards! Except this time it'll be really hard for the players to actually find any bugs - meaning the few who can find any will be getting lots of credits for just one or two reports.

17 November progress update:

24 more bugs to go!

And I've also added some additional improvements:
> Heavily decreased client load on region change (when you get the 'loading - please wait' screen) by removing lots of excessive (unnecessary) packets and combining all custom object and item spawns into a single packet.
> Improved hit delay (so magic spells and ranged attacks take the proper time to travel to the enemy - something that still needed some tweaking)
> Perfected the way noclipping is handled server-sided. Now the only thing that needs to be fixed yet is the actual following of other players or NPC's, which isn't that much work.
> Fixed the roof-removal feature which caused maps like the GWD to get glitchy

That'd be fun lol if you actually get the rng :D. Even is osrs you can stack like 36 barrage+81 ags+40 gmaul max with void max gear, or somethin' :D
