    Graphic art and games, and exposing gerbils for their true inner evil...EVIL I SWEAR IT
  1. CAUTION: WALL OF TEXT imaginary cookies that taste really fricken amazing will be awarded for reading this Ok, it's been several years since i last posted, i only check these forums for the screenshots and updates of what happens to rs, because i find it amusing to see how the game changes as people change and ownership over the business changes, along with the marketing aspects, those interest me too, BUT SERIOUSLY people.... you NEED to learn how to moderate your time and take control over your mind. i'm sure its safe to assume we've ALL at one point or another been addicted to SOMETHING, hell, i've been addicted to rs, SURE, but there comes a point -and yes, you will hit this point- where you realize SOMETHING IS WRONG, i'm certain you(the author) have already hit this point, zokot, you've hit this point as well. I'm not here to add insult to injury, but i'm just trying to come up with a feeble suggestion or a pointer in the right direction. What i HIGHLY reccomend you do, which i have learned ever so much through life experience and lectures from upper management in high ranking companies is STUDY psychology!!! - IN ORDER TO DEFEAT YOUR "addiction" YOU FIRST MUST UNDERSTAND IT (how it works and why it is effective) runescape along with many other online (or even not-online) games LOVES building addictions, just look up the skinners box theory, this guy freaking trained pigeons to spin in circles on one foot for food. in this particular case, RUNESCAPE=skinner, YOU=pigeon. (oh, this is called positive reinforcement, with variable rewards - think about the exp between levels and the potential rewards for higher levels, hmm i really want that 91 rc....) come on here, you cant be hopping around waiting for every single update IN HOPES that things will miraculously change, now granted pigeons have little to no brain so they can't exactly consciously change their whole view on life and perception, so this example isnt perfect. AFTER you learn about what KIND of addiction you have, ANSWER FOR YOURSELF TWO THINGS: do i mind this addiction? is this addiction affecting my life negatively? If at least ONE of the answers to those questions is YES, there's clearly something wrong. NOW. The third thing you need to do after you understand and decide that this addiction is NOT GOOD is learn how to OVERCOME it. NO i'm not telling you to suddenly go outside, or do ANYTHING social to be honest.... what would help the most is a counter-addiction. find a TV show you REALLY like and hell, if you have to, fricken watch every episode of it. (my crutch is southpark, i love that show) OR find a novel series, or hell, do sports/wii stuff, or w/e... whatever floats your boat... you should moderate your viewing of this show, for example maybe only two episodes per night MAXIMUM (i know its stupid because one is the minimum :P)... should you actually like this activity you've chosen, you'll see just how easy it is to migrate on to new activities.... lets look at WII bowling - you get really kick [wagon] at this, right? try real bowling... *go to an alley* progress, meet people etc.... look at novels, you run out of good series to read, and this author is just so good, so you want to find more authors like him, go to library/book club or w/e (yeah its nerdy but who gives a crud, you're the one addicted to rs, remember?) and voila you get suggestions, more books, and people to discuss it with. TV episodes or shows are among the best things to socialize about because people LOVE trying to reinact funny things they see, or serious things, etc. (people love to be the center of attention, its at everyone's core to strive to feel important ALL the time, look it up its true) NOW..... after about two weeks i'm SURE you'll be thinking, hmm, i wonder what runescape is up to. its perfectly ok to check it, its perfectly ok to PLAY it, and its perfectly ok to talk with your friends who play it, but BE SURE to let them know what you have been up to OUTSIDE of rs, or else you will lose your sense of accomplishment. What i'm getting at here is that now that you've found something else to do, you can more easily moderate your time on rs, and the more you do outside of runescape, the more your time online rs lessens.... you dont have to quit or anything, but you will find fun things to do and its great. and sure, i still love logging in once or twice every few months to peekay some newbz in varrok. its inevitable, its just too damn fun. but dont let all the other fun things you've done and accomplished go to waste! you will not just let them down, but you will most importantly LET YOURSELF down. im sure you think this is a stereotypical lecture, which granted you're absolutely right, it is. but take it from me (played since 2002 and still f**king daydream about "the good times", all of this stuff WILL help you and you will have a GREAT time... life is too short, live it. lots of enters oh btw, go to college. the alcohol and girls alone are worth it, and hey you might just learn a thing or two....
  2. I had no idea! And I too would love a shark following me around RuneScape, on land no less :lol: i might as well call PETA on you... you want to suffocate, dry out, and starve a pet every single step you take around rs..... thats illegal son.
  3. nahh you can turn heads into pets now, too bad it doesnt work with big swordifsh/sharks
  4. you gotta walk all the way around the "continent" to get to the entrance to shilo, it sucks... anyways, abyss is much faster - with the risk of revenants though
  5. hi, i've got an...interesting mini dilema here.. i'm 1 summoning and have been purposefully staying 1 summ till i have enough charms to get to 68 right away (i usually just say 70 in game though cus it looks better).... i think it'd be better to shoot straight to 68 rather than go to 45 (for example) stop, 48, stop, 53, stop, 54, stop, et cetera... MY PROBLEM. i just got a kurask head while slaying \ :thumbsup: :ohnoes: : but im not sure if its worth getting 4 summ justfor the pet (cus i enjoy being 107 -soon 108- combat with 1 summoning) what should i do =\ thanks
  6. hi, i've just recently (as in past 15 minutes) tried logging into rs (members) and it will not let me... it says there is an "error connecting to server".... i have tried logging in on multiple different members worlds and it will not work..... yes i am a rs member...... i have also tried logging in to free to play.... which will work, i dont know why. anyways, does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? edit: i cannot log into my home world 48, 2, or a few other worlds..... i can however log into world 6?
  7. can i make two of them so i can have both the staff and the tiara? if not, which should i make, i really like the staff lol
  8. 10/10 for your misterxman sig. umm.... 8/10 for stats, i'd have kept summ at 1 but whatever, now you have no excuse to keep it at 4, get 88 :D
  9. yeah so many people complained about not getting one that hey dropped for a second time (a week after if i remember correctly), this was back when you could actually email jagex directly about a problem with the game....good times good times... and no, i dont pk anymore, i guess im just pure for the hell of it - i think it makes th game more challenging..... if you look at the farming cross-eyed, its 99 :o
  10. missed the scythe's second drop by 1 week :wall:
  11. i know... im a pure :roll: , just give me credit for the fact that i did only slayer from 92-95, and i plan on slaying from 95-99 :), hell hound task - bout to get dhally ftw .......and the moment you all REALLY care about...BOB!, yes bob is sensitive so be nice, or else he'll cry rate 1-10, thanks for viewing :thumbup: edit: and slayer helm is hard as hell to get with 10 def.... have to restart the tasks every time you get cockatrice or basilisk - mirror shield requires 20 def. =\
  12. your guys' posts dont help at all.....
