If you completed the needed quest, then that is correct, long as you've changed your respawn point. :) By speaking to the appropriate npc for the quest that unlocked the given respawn point. :geek: Good luck on getting that respawn point unlocked. : ~D. V. "Have a nice day." Devnull

+1 to this person, they have it right. Also, I saw a screenshot recently, and it showed the corrupt items don't have special attacks. Put simply, but to some people's dismay, Jagex didn't want the melee pvp being too powerful. :ugeek: As for decay issues... It only decays while worn, never while banked or simply in your pack. :geek: I'm not even going to go into value issues. :notalk: ~D. V. "Sorry for the letdown..." Devnull

Is it possible that you were near one of the respawn points for dead players? :geek: ~D. V. "Stuff happens..." Devnull

Grogtholomew, were you there longer than the others? Did you happen to be carrying something really valuable in your pack? Is there a chance that you looked like a macroer to Jagex's systems? :-s If you can answer these, I might be able to figure out what happened. :geek: ~D. V. "There has to be a logical explanation here..." Devnull

11,294 I wonder where everyone is............. :uhh: ~D. V. "Where did they go?" Devnull

Water? Supercool? For what purpose? :-s 11,296 ~D. V. "Now I'm curious..." Devnull

Seeing that made me laugh. :lol: That's what gero204 already picked. Now they're looking for an emote to use as a sign of affiliation. :ugeek: ~D. V. "Any suggestions?" Devnull

May I suggest you all fly a Dragon Kite (The one at Diango's shop...) as your symbol? :twisted: ~D. V. "There's one option..." Devnull (p.s.: No offense intended, BTW, as I just realized the accidental inferences/puns behind it. #-o ...)

Sadly, it is... I totally missed hearing about it. :( ~D. V. "Darn..." Devnull

gero204, I will second what basiliko said. There is a basement room that you can use, which houses Count Draynor's coffin. And as far as I know, Count Draynor won't appear unless the quest is incomplete for a user, and he's been disturbed. 8-) ~D. V. "Take a look, I think you'll like it." Devnull

Adius, if you haven't been runecrafting, you should... And as for paying through the nose, it will be far cheaper to mine your own rune essence (Do make sure you complete 'Rune Mysteries', as that quest is critical to all good mages.) and craft runes as much as you can. Always train that skill in such a manner that you can then use what you get on Magic, and therefore train as a mage, nearly without end... Make your runes in the following layouts: 3 fire runes and 2 air runes, for every mind rune 8 water runes and 7 water runes, for every 3 body runes Further, if you have a staff of any rune type, and you will be using that staff in battle, then you won't need to craft the type of rune that the staff replaces. Also, if you don't have 20 runecrafting minimum, make it an immediate target. (Personally, I'd make 50 a minimum target... The time spent out of the loop has its' rewards.) You will be very glad that you did. : Also, if you're wondering what to do for Chaos/Death/Nature/Law/Cosmic runes, you can rack up semi-easy money for those by mining, smithing, and selling armor/weapons... This is actually how I fund a lot of the runes I needed to buy both earlier on and now. :) BTW, keep your eyes open for my appearing in Evil_Mumm_Ra's chat on RuneScape. I keep popping in there every so often, and I'd be glad to talk with you over in my own channel about your expanding as a mage. (Notice my mage level... 100% F2P-trained... I really like that skill.) 8-) One last thing... Anyone telling you to play F.o.G., didn't tell you something: It won't help your Rune counts in your bank at all. It is better to train Magic out in the main RS world, and RuneCraft, because you'll actually get to have building stocks of runes in your bank. :geek: ~D. V. "Enemies falling by Magic... Just how I like it." Devnull

Personally, I would recommend to a user that making 256 MB of RAM for a JRE would be an absolute maximum limit (If they have the room to even support that, anyone with less than 1GB of RAM should never allocate that much... Maybe 128-192 MB at max for them, if they have the room for that) in their settings, even if they have the room to support allocating more space to it... Any more than that should be a sign that the applet which a person is running inside of their browser is probably in need of serious cleanup. :| watuphomi, I notice you are saying to use "-Xmx###M"... ("###", again, being a number.) ... TBH, I'd recommend "-Xmx######K" as it allows far finer control of RAM allocation and usage. Not to be overly nitpicky, but sometimes the equivalent of a needle-nose pair of pliers is better than the equivalent of a sledgehammer. :geek: ... Yes, I'll admit that sometimes simplicity is good, but there are times where being too simple can cause a bad situation. ;) ~D. V. "Too much RAM locked up for something = bad." Devnull

[EDIT: If the opening poster is no longer watching this thread, don't mind this post. I didn't realize this thread was about 2 days old. #-o ...] pitac83, are you sure you're using Vista's built-in firewall, or is it possible you're using something that came with your AntiVirus? Or even more crazy, something that someone else helped you out by putting in and then left in a basic state, like ZoneAlarm, Comodo, Outpost, or one of several others that you may not recognize? :-s There's one way we can be certain what firewall you're running. (TBH, I'm surprised this wasn't asked before now.) Could you please show us a screenshot of all the icons (including hidden ones) in that nifty tray in the bottom right corner of your windows desktop? :geek: Thanks in advance. : ~D. V. "Always good to make sure..." Devnull

Cool down, Ginger... I've thought ahead... Read on to understand.......................... Are you sure? It might just be that too many are too scared for one reason or another to speak up, therefore leaving you to believe they are content when they aren't... Have you noticed how only about a microfraction sampling of TIF users (and even at that, most of the heavier regulars) ever drops into a given thread in 'Forum U&S' to discuss these things? :-s Ginger, did I say that this should happen immediately? NO. In fact, I quite intended that, IF this suggestion thread's best (and therefore most agreed) options was accepted by the Admins, and they did say they would put them in, that it would only occur when the Admins were totally stuck at a stand-still (due only to the tasks themselves, and NOT 'irl issues'...) on everything else, and therefore wanted something easy to do. :thumbsup: Would it really waste more time than it takes/merits? It is as simple as uploading the data, bringing it into phpBB3's view of available emotes, and tapping in a few easy 'text codes' for how to call them. Again, this would only be done in their spare 'spare' time, and no more than that. And if they didn't get that time for a while, I'd understand very perfectly. For that matter, this thread I started is only still in the suggestion/compilation stages anyway, and is going to ultimately leave understanding inherently as to how much of a process that the Tip.It Staff themselves has to go to for something to come out as good as it does, as well as the quality they require before they will do it and it happens. :geek: ~D. V. "I'm not going to mind if I wait a while before it could happen." Devnull (p.s.: I'm an optimist at heart... It has a way of overriding my pessimism.)

Alright... I don't think I've seen something break quite like this, though. So, we're going to need some help from others in the T&C forum at this point, as even my own know-how and thinking capability hits its' limits... :-k ... That is, unless I manage to find something. ;) (OT: Where is everyone else who's posted in this thread, when I just happen to need them dropping in?) ~D. V. "What a conundrum..." Devnull

11,298 Still 297 away from a milestone... LET'S GET A MOVE ON HERE!!! ~D. V. "Must... reach... milestone!!!" Devnull

One of the core reasons I started this thread was the thought of adding something fresh to Tip.It Forums' current répertoire, as opposed to forcing people to fend for themselves. Sure, there are sets out there, but wouldn't it be better to make them open to everyone through BBCode items, than to make every single person have to dig for it seperately? Also, wouldn't it be better to have the community's influence (even if they are picks from other's creations that aren't part of a set) showing in them, than to leave it to being something out of a stock bucket? : ~D. V. "Think fresh... Think different..." Devnull (p.s.: I'm a PC user, not a Mac user! Never shall Apple get a hold of me!)

Agreed. (LOL! :lol: ...) Although, where did Google's brains go walking off to? Maybe I wouldn't want them catching up with me? :? ~D. V. "Freaky..." Devnull

Awful, to be honest. I'll second what dsavi said, and point to my last post in this thread for further reasoning. :ugeek: ~D. V. "Add, not overwrite..." Devnull

Okay, have you turned off Vista's "System Restore Monitor" for the Drive Letter where it sees WinXP? And have you told WinXP to not monitor Vista's home partition? Just a hunch, but that may be what's causing your problems. :anxious: ... I would get a confirm from someone else who is monitoring this thread before changing the settings on those, however. :| Although, wait... Are you heading near Vista at any time during this process? :? ~D. V. "Your OSes fighting each other would be not good." Devnull

... which was caught by Tip.It's forum software. Can you elaborate on what the filter blocked? :?: it's tortoise SVN, i had to use it to do something with garrys mod, don't know for sure what it was.. i deleted it now Linked to stuff in Garry's Mod, eh? I wonder why TIF's filter is blocking, then. :o Alright, since I'm sure that wasn't causing your youtube problems... Have you tried (after backing up your computer) reinstalling Flash? At best, all I can figure is that something deep-sixed part of the browser plugin, and that's why it isn't behaving. :-k Last O-T Note: It wasn't me who triggered it, or the admin here... We'd heard about it from a 3rd-party source. (Any which way, I'm not gonna challenge the admin, because I'd end up disappearing from the web if I did.) Just thought I should get that straight. ;) ~D. V. "Straight facts count." Devnull

Uhhhhh... what do you mean only 50 spaces? Gravitymasta, we currently have a 68-space limit in the F2P'ers banks. So we'd have 80 spaces, if 12 more were added. Please double-check your math? :-s BTW, again, we'll need to wait... We got some at like the start of this year, due to what happened in December of 2007... Don't ask me about those events, however, as I don't like to talk about those. :| ~D. V. "Your numbers need work... Ancient events prohibit for now." Devnull

I can imagine in my mind what you mean. Just remember you don't have to do that here, as Tip.It isn't full of color-coding hotheads... :thumbsup: Okay, I looked at the HJT log... the only line I find questionable is this... ... which was caught by Tip.It's forum software. Can you elaborate on what the filter blocked? :?: Or just hope that someone remembers that they don't have to use that miserable (in my opinion) color coding... Bah, maybe I'm just slightly lazy... LOL :lol: Ouch... And this is one lovely CRT (ViewSonic E70f+SB) for gaming. :anxious: ... Is this theme tuned more for LCD screens? It sure renders nicely on this CRT, even though some text colors don't render well versus a medium-dark grey. :-s ... Bah, maybe it's my eyes' internal color balance. -.- ~D. V. "Almost to the next stage now..." Devnull

Last thoughts on my font color issue.................... I can not read any of the teal/turquoise stuff, pryomancer. Are you sure your monitor is tuned right? I know mine is, and I'm on the Default TIF (Tip.It WebSite) Theme... :( ~D. V. "Still can't properly read it." Devnull Try turning on Cleartype; I find any text hard to read without it anyway. Right click on desktop > properties > appearance > effects > use font smooothing > ClearType Thank you for the suggestion, SilverSword. :) However, I have tried that before (as well as just now, after you suggested it) with what limited options I have, and it doesn't work for me, possibly because I'm on a CRT monitor (although that just as likely doesn't factor) ... Also, everything looks perfectly sharp with standard (non-cleartype) font smoothing. Further, because I'm not the admin here, I can't go and run the calibration wizard (which requires access to MS's stuff) for several reasons, including the admin's valid paranoia of WGA and how MS is forcing it on everyone lately. :( (In case you're curious, we had a run-in with the Blaster Worm -- the ONLY time we've ever been had -- back in late 2004, and then had hell rebuilding a completely fresh system install, because MS's registration center was stupidly assuming we were pirates when we'd paid money to them for a copy of their software. Then we heard of the kill switch that MS put in their WGA system, and it was like instant law dropped on me. "No WGA allowed.") Enough of my bad luck, however, as I don't wish to be hijacking a topic with a font color issue. If folmer_veeman can just post a non-colorized version, like I usually see from everyone else, I'll be perfectly fine. Even one without the teal/turquoise color (e.g., they'd just use default color instead) would be good. : Again, SilverSword, thank you for trying to help, even though it didn't work. :thumbsup: <*DVD gives SilverSword a fresh bag of chocolate chip cookies.*> ~D. V. "Waiting for one color replacement." Devnull
