My stats on the 3rd July 2007

Can't see me getting 99 rc / comp cape any time soon, quite bored already.

6189 hours ~55380 xp/hour

Have never seen that error message myself either, played since 2001. It also seemed shocked, even offended, that you have to subscribe to enjoy most of the skills, what exactly does it think a subscription is for? One of the worst, uninformative reviews I've ever read.

I don't really care about my name being on it or not but what's wrong with a bit of publicity?

Completely agree. Take this scenario from the previous method - Player A (main account) has levelled 90 in all stats legitimately. Player A turns to the dark side and bots to 99 in all remaining stats. Player A is perm banned. Player A quits RS as he/she can't be bothered legitimately levelling to the 90s again. Player A does not return or make a new account. Scenario from new method - Player A (main account) has levelled 90 in all stats legitimately. Player A turns to the dark side and bots to 99 in all remaining stats. Player A is stat reset to 85 in all levels and has to pay $15 if they want their account back. Player A repays the debt, regains their account with 85 in all stats (lower than before botting). Player A doesn't bot again as all they've accomplished is -$15 and lower stats. ------------------------------------------------------- That doesn't affect me or any other players, Jagex (which is a business, people seem to forget that) have profited marginally and retained a player.

Brilliant topic, thank you very much for posting it. I was overcome with nostalgia seeing the old home page and highscores.

One more level me thinks

He shoots, he scores

:o :wink: Grats Smelleh :thumbsup:

I completely agree with you two. I have no problem with Jagex giving an in game item to those who went, i think it's completely fair and a nice treat. I probably won't be going either though unless around August there are still some tickets left and i find myself with some spare time and money and think what the heck I'll splash out. I've been applying for a few new jobs around the country aswell for my university placement year so i'll have to see how they go first before i spend the money and make a commitment to go. You're welcome, it's not a very interesting screen but I thought I masewell post it and also that what Mod Ian said was funny, he sounded like a spoilt child in the background hehe :P

Kept trying to grab a good screeny with the Orb and Mod Ian kept moving it everytime i got close, he did mention that a KB will be up very soon explaining the 'banners'. So there may be more then one, or a simple mistake. I did grab this screeny though.

Edit: Image removed, but it is real as we now know ;) Now that's not to say this can't be used like you say for a stall or something similar, but I think we can assume it's pretty real and will be in game one way or another.

My opinion on the matter is that many many MMO's do this, and before i get bombarded with comments that RS is different and isn't "WoW", the underlying fundamentals are still the same. I can see why people would be upset if they didn't get the item, but i still don't see that as a reason why Jagex shouldn't implement this as a gift for people who went(are going) to RuneFest. (As that is what I am assuming it will be used for)
