The Evolution of Combat beta was a beta for the then-upcoming combat system. It was released on 26 June 2012 with unlimited access for any player who had been a member for 12 consecutive months. Members who didn't reach the 12 consecutive month requirement were able to access the beta on weekends (Saturday and Sunday, starting and ending according to GMT midnight time) after 6 July. Jagex also selected 50,000 other members who signed up and did not get access instantly; the 50,000 were chosen based on how "active" they were.
