I -think- this might be the first huge implementation of html5 in game form, and clearly marks Jagex as even bigger innovators in both the web and gaming industry.
Jagex launches HTML5/WebGL game mode for RuneScape (beta)

This is exciting news for the validity of HTML5 games in the browser!
Just for clarification; I'm not an employee of Jagex, I'm a long time player of RuneScape though. I'm also a huge fan of what they've accomplished when you look at the systems they use, and the hardware required to enjoy their products.
Their game being coded in Java should make it easy to port to many different platforms seeing as there's a library or framework for almost anything Java.
I don't play RuneScape but I'm happy to see this, this should help bring the game to other platforms like Android, Firefox OS and hopefully iOS (they could make a native app for iOS).

I click "go to beta" and then "register", and it says my Java is not up to date? I thought this was Java-free?

On a side note, I used to play Runescape years ago back in High School/College. Looks like so much has changed since then, maybe this summer I'll look to re-activate my old character :).
While I have generally lost interest in these sort of games since then, this is exciting enough to make me want to try it out again.
