New Level Up Messages. Good or Bad?

Two views on the new update: from Bluebrisingr and Tim. Pretty much a consensus on the quick chat system: "nice, but not extremely useful unless you are muted". But, I think, if you are muted, you may just abandon the game all together.

But it is a different story for the level up messages - it does affect everyone after all. No question, the new messages are more informative and cannot be lost inadvertently, but, as Tim pointed out, there is a big flaw in there: "You can't see a screen and level number at the same time!"

This is plain ridiculous... Good intentions - Bad solution...

P.S. Just a few minutes after I posted it I found out that Jagex already fixed the level up messages! Good job! I leave the post up yet - now it is a good example of Jagex's agile development process :-)
