I get what you mean. I've done that myself too. :lol: ~Mr. Devnull

Ah, I get what you mean. :D Would be funny, though. :lol: (On the side: The only thing I hate about understanding P2P stuff so well is the fact that I have never been one. I'm beginning to think I'd make a great P2P'er, IF I had the $5/month to pay. At least I could escape the Newbies and Noobs then.) ~Mr. Devnull

I think the thread's starter already suggested something regarding "city shield lines"... :? ~Mr. Devnull

Gee, I thought screenshots occurred entirely within the Java Applet, not in the server software. :-k ~Mr. Devnull

Infact what I said was the highway men right under Falador moving 30 spaces north...which is much less than unlimited, I also stated that players with experience would still have the advantage of knowing the general location of these monsters, but they may move in an area of maybe 50-100 or so spaces, no green dragons wouldn't be found in lumbridge... The agressiveness of monsters has been discussed many times before, not everything is agressive, and there's no reason that a player in the game would ever be attacked by an incredibly strong NPC as long as they stay away from their roaming spot, and to tell the truth, I dont think I would see a level 3 up even near the green dragons... Keep in mind, I am level 3...I'm a skiller and suggesting these ideas, monster levels and agression is the least of my worries, I'll add that part in later :) Glad to hear that powerful monsters wouldn't get to roam that far. :) Very true on the fact of monsters and aggressiveness as things stand now. :) Now, as a tip (not as something to flame with): I try to show players the wilderness area while they are still so new, as well as some of the super-dangerous areas. It makes it easy to have those newbies bank all their stuff so they lose nothing, and then I take them with me, head out to all those spots, and I show them around a little so they have an idea of what they can look forward to trying for someday. Thankfully, I haven't run into any that "messed their pants" yet, but then again, who knows, they may not have admitted to it. :lol: With how things are currently, this is an easy task for me. :) ... So, is there any way you can think of to fit this new idea that wouldn't mess up an experienced player in some way such that they would be forced to take more than about 30 minutes max to show a new player around? (Trust me, highwaymen are more than bad enough. :-s ...) ~Mr. Devnull

14,342 ... :lol: ~Mr. Devnull

There have been times in the full year-and-a-half that I have played where I just wouldn't talk sometimes and had my chat turned off, all because I was bent on reaching a goal and didn't want distractions. Further, you have taken my words entirely out of context and twisted them... I have not actually been banned/blackmarked. I had only suggested that some of my movements could be considered "macro-like" in their nature, and that I might be banned by accident for it... :lol: (A tip for you: I wouldn't be on these forums if I had been blackmarked or banned from RuneScape. I'd lose all heart in playing, because I personally don't go breaking rules like these, and to get banned/blackmarked would be a serious wrong done to me.) I am rather sure that you are full of beans. :P Nah, no beans here... :P You'd actually be surprised. I have heard of times where macroers have appealed just as heavily as legit players. Far as I know however, they don't get away with it. :) ... Also, I am still reasonably sure that Jagex does check all the reports before blackmarking/banning, but they only take like 3 seconds each unless the in-game system has it red-flagged like mad. Hmm, you should check one of the recent Tip.It Times threads. He posted there. Go have a look. 8-) ~Mr. Devnull

If you're over fishing 50, swordfish are already open as an option. They return far more health and have a nice profit side-effect. :) Lobsters have neither. :( 'Nuff said. ~Mr. Devnull

14,348 No need for the endless chain quoting here... :-w ~Mr. Devnull

I'd say you need to get your idea patched then. Use the quotes I am referencing here, which were rather much in response to my concerns, to patch it and you just might have a supporter in me. :wink: In short, my biggest concern has been "unlimited roaming, and attacking of low-level players, by strong NPCs" and this is something I am certain Jagex won't allow to happen, but this idea thread so far has had trouble addressing while expanding the manners of gameplay. :( On the side, I am one of those who likes to take every one time in a while and walk down to Lumbridge and help some truly new player who can't make heads or tails of the game's map or other features. Very probably, people like me are what makes RuneScape grow so well, even if a lot of those new people remain F2P. :) ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

Unlikely, else I'd be banned already for "some macro-like things" I have done. (Examples: Walking the same paths, Only moving on horizontal or vertical, Bugging the same set of NPCs constantly, Standing around for half an hour by clicking stuff in my inventory, etc. :P ...) Keep in mind, however, that while doing these insane things, I was using the RS Java App made by Jagex, and I was running their applet in IE6. I was NOT macroing, and I have a personal hate for macroers. I am rather sure before Jagex bans someone that they check the reports through fully, especially if the in-game system drops a bunch of randoms on the person. ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

Actually, Norton is supposed to be one of the Top 3, from what info I had at the time... It may have changed a little since. Anywho, those 200 were just the e-mail pile alone. BTW, if you noticed, I also mentioned what it has done AFTER the initial install and scan: It stopped a fully new virus dead in its' tracks. The part I didn't mention? Within 3 hours of submitting the new virus in a packaged quarantine form to Eset, I had definitions for the new virus downloaded, locked, and loaded by a fully public update. Stunning, eh? That's faster than ANY other AntiVirus maker... If people had common sense and you didn't get infected in the first place, you wouldn't need to be out advocating how great NOD32 is over the others. Cruiser, a person can be careful all they like. (Heck, I am a freak when it comes to being careful.) The only reason I got attacked and NOD32 had the chance to prove itself so well was because I tripped over an infected site without knowing it during a fully innocent web search for something. I can't remember what now the search was about, though. ~Mr. Devnull

Even better if you cook it, you can bank in Draynor. It is MUCH closer than banking at Falador East and/or Lumbridge. I have checked this many times over with maps and everything, and it has become my "canon route" by which I fish and bank my cooked swordies. I sell the tuna to the general store, both cooked and uncooked, to pay my trips, gain runes off the store shelf, and still make one heck of a profit. :) ~Mr. Devnull

Good point. I didn't think of that. #-o ~Mr. Devnull

I have to disagree with twr_phr33k ... In my personal experience, fly fishing DOES NOT gain the massive levels of exp and gp that fishing for tuna and swordfish at Karamja's "Musa Point Banana Plantation" Dock does. I suggest you switch your fishing location if you wish to gain exp quickly, bobjoebob999. ~Mr. Devnull

Yes, it does, seeing as it works in a different way then what you would expect. It takes whatever level you have on top of the fraction and then boosts based on that, from what I know. ~Mr. Devnull

Would you be upset if I asked you very kindly to please go searching exhaustively on all the antivirus info websites out there? When my dad and I did our search, we were extremely exhaustive and we both had headaches afterwards. :( To be honest, I am not lying to you about what I am saying regarding how much better NOD32 is ... but do I really have to re-perform that month-long search? There were so many endless reviews and such we tripped over that I can't remember a single percent of the exact site urls we went through, except for the common overall knowledge that we went through every antivirus maker's site out there as well as every possible review we could find out there, and got the overall feeling that NOD32 was outdoing any other by an extreme longshot in both protection and performance. There is only one thing I can warn about, however: NOD32's default configuration is NOT the best, and if a person clicks on a few switches in NOD32, then they will be "up to specification" and seeing the results I and my dad do. ~Mr. Devnull (p.s.: I know you'd love to think I am a mere "shill" for Eset, but I really am not and would take great offense to anyone thinking that of me. Over the time I have used many AV programs as the home user I am, I have just been utterly stunned at how NOD32 has outdone my best expectations and then some. And trust me, I'm not some "easy chooser". In fact, I am most likely your greatest nightmare when it comes to finding a critic who won't use serious bashing. Why? I'm danged critical with my thoughts, reviews, and opinions.)

14,363 ~Mr. Devnull

Heck, it could be done in any world. :) ... And that is just one of many reasons I support this idea. ~Mr. Devnull

Yes, just one: The Wildi's monsters already do that to any level. We don't need that coming and happening in non-wildi zones like Lumbridge. Did you read my post? the fact that you would be neutral unless you chose a side? Yes, I did read it, and here's the point I am trying to make: A number of the in-game monsters are set to auto-attack anything weaker than the following formula regarding the monster's level... "monster level" x 2 + 1 = "level at which monster no longer auto-attacks" ...and without regard to "neutrality". Jagex purposely intended to have some monsters that didn't give a 'hangnail' about whether you were not attacking them or not. If you're weaker, you get attacked ANYWAY... This is noticed, though, to be primarily such with any "Zamorak-loving monsters" and less so with "Saradomin-loving monsters"... IS MY POINT NOW MADE??? ~Mr. Devnull

Yes, just one: The Wildi's monsters already do that to any level. We don't need that coming and happening in non-wildi zones like Lumbridge. ~Mr. Devnull

Jagex apparently doesn't want us to know. We don't need to. ~Mr. Devnull

I don't see how. I could access all of Tip.It forums at that point in time. Well, on the bright side, this thread can now be closed. I've found, basically on my own, temporary solutions and such, and that leaves no point left for this thread. Also, RuneWeb.net has come back from the grave somehow. :? ~Mr. D. V. Devnull
