How do you think Summoning will be like?

As we know, Jagex has informed us in this month's Behind the Scenes that they will add Summoning. This means that the maximum combat level has increased from 126 to 138 (F2Pers can't get max combat anymore =[ ). What are your views on it? Who do you think will get it to 99 first and how will it affect Runescape overall?

I'm anxious to see what exactly they come up with. It should be interesting. You know the guys who have already maxed out their other skills will be the first to get 99s. They don't have anything else to split up their time.

Obviously, the only reason that you are on this site is to get to pay for a membership on Runescape. It doesn't really matter anyways about whether it is members or not, but now members have a chance to show up in a free to play world and still be known as members with their level 138 combat level. I believe that Summoning will help out in every skill overall, as Jagex might release a creature that can help you carry more things in your inventory. Just yesterday as I was browsing through the Runescape forums, I came across a post that thought Summoning would allow you to summon a donkey to carry things for you! Personally, I hope Jagex does give out a summon beast that can carry things around for you as this is very useful for quests, like extra food, or when you are playing a mini-game, like the fight caves. Perhaps the summoned creatures can use all forms of attack, and then you will get experience in that form as well as your Summoning level. I think that the one to get to level 99 Summoning first will: a)have all skills at level 99 b)have more than 100 million gp in cash c)is not a pure (although pures are useless currently) and d) they are a member (obviously =D) Overall, Runescape won't be affected too much, although the Jagex staff should be making a Summoning restore potion. Summoning is believed to be like Prayer, where your Summoning Points are drained, like Prayer Points. Also, if you want to look for a good merchant investment, you could try buying different types of food to feed the summons and leather to help cloth the summons. Anyways, those are my thoughts on Summoning, and I hope it is actually a good update!! =D
