Despite all the "changes" that have recently been put back into the game, I've decided to mostly ignore it, mostly because I don't see it as something so drastically important that I need to dedicate time to it.
Instead, I'm going the complete opposite route.
For the past few years, I've been making it a point to not do anything combat related in RuneScape for the entire duration of the Lunar New Year celebration, and two weeks after that. This means a whole month dedicated to pure skilling. In years past I've done woodcutting, firemaking, fishing, and crafting. This year I'm planning to mine. This may mean I might just get 99 mining after all after having attempted to last summer but failing because it was just too boring.
What started this tradition was simply the superstition that doing anything remotely violent during the new year celebrations meant I'd face more violence that year. Not that I entirely believe this superstition, but better safe than sorry. :P
So some of you will find me at the Living Rock Caverns mining the concentrated old ore in world 77. I have about 78k gold ores left to level 99 mining, and I usually mine about 3k a day with school, more during the weekends. :P
Anyway, in regards to the wilderness and free trade returning, I've found myself needing to turn rather Scroogey in some ways. For one thing, I realized just how much my so-called friends really considered me a friend. Last night I was bombarded with "OMG WHEN IS THE UPDATE COMING?! YOU SHOULD KNOW! JAGEX TELLS YOU ALL." It was rather saddening to see that those I considered friends were merely using me as a tool for their update news, not to mention their bank. As much as I'd like to help all 200 of my friends, there is simply no way I can go and choose a random 15 or so people to give away rares.
Simply put: I won't be giving anyone anything. This sounds awfully selfish, but I don't want to make it seem like I favor one friend over the other. :unsure:
Free trade may be nice and all, but honestly if you're gonna just beg for free stuff and get used to that rather than working for your items, then you're no better than a scammer. :unsure:
Anyway...
祝你們新年快樂﹗恭喜發財﹗身體健康﹗(Happy Lunar New Year. May you have a prosperous healthy year! :shades:)
