Tip.It Times - 28th August 2011
More than half of my clan is playing League of Legends, and on another fansite I use, the administrator got half of its members into Dungeons and Dragons Online. The rest of that fansite is divided between Minecraft (Technically not free), Runescape, or real life (Or any combination of the above). I haven't played LoL, and DDO is more of a free game than Runescape - You get the bulk of the game and can pay for credits to buy new classes or races and perks like more character slots. It's probably a hell of a lot less accessible than Runescape though, being D&D and all. This seems to be what the MMO landscape has shifted into though, free/subscription or free/microtransactions, and the free games aren't all pieces of [cabbage] that were coded during a lunch break anymore. Runescape's niche was being a quality free/cheap MMO, and that territory is filling up with new games that don't yet have all of it's problems. That's probably killing the game just as much as bots. Oh, look at me going wildly off topic :razz:

What makes a good tipit member?
Pretty much my thoughts. Someone who you could have a bear with and still like them afterwards. Yeah! And as long as they aren't staff. I hate those jerks. This, plus being able to respect them after a particularly vicious argument.

Tip.It Times - 28th August 2011
And this is the first step in that. F2P is a new player's first impression, and right now that first impression is a much higher degree of botting than in P2P and content that is highly outdated, if not broken. If they treat free players decently, those free players might have a better chance of subscribing than if they're ignored, especially since saying that there's a lot of content in F2P is like saying that there's a lot of gameplay in CoD if you play the story 100 times - Jagex got their number of hours in the free game by taking the in game time of the F2P'er with the most time in game.

Tip.It Times - 28th August 2011
The free version is how they attract new players. Nobody starts as a member, and nobody is going to think "Hm, the free version is missing some things, I think I'll go buy membership", they'll think "Hm, the free version is missing some things, I think I'll go try World of Warcraft". They could give free players some of the things that are obsolete in members, and sure, that means they'll stay free longer, but if they stay longer, chances are they'll be more likely to want to pay for it down the line. Look at it like any other game. They offer you a free demo, and if it's good you buy it. Nobody is going to believe a company that puts out a [cabbage]ty demo and says "But if you pay for it, it's the greatest game since Ocarina of Time!". They're going to walk away and go play some other free MMO. Let's be honest, at this point, there are a number of free MMOs that could give RS a run for its money if they develop a bit more. Improving F2P, even if only a little, would probably benefit their bottom line a hell of a lot more than, say, linking the game to Facebook.

Your forum identity just so damn attractive that we can't help it. It's like a black hole, but with us commenting on everything you say instead of an event horizon.

The Back Room
The prologue shows the supernatural conflict of the series. Not only is winter coming, it's bringing zombies. It starts to get much more important about halfway through the first book, and you'll see more about it in all but the fourth.

Donating to tipit
But now you can drown your sorrows in style with the JAGEX FLASK! May contain broken dreams and tears Also you'd probably save quite a bit on alcohol. Just set the flask under your eye and read the recent updates forum, and you're good to go :thumbup:

Donating to tipit
The only things Jagex flasks contain is delusions and PR talk. And the tears of their loyal players. :unsure: Also alcohol. You know, so you won't care as much about the delusions and PR talk. Everybody wins!

Unless it's the human rabies victim that pop culture seems to love, in which case you'd only see that if you ran into a zombie Olympian. In this case, the topic seems to be a zombie that can run instead of shamble.

Hollywood potrayals of computer usage
Or it's just the way they push the story forward. As Nom pointed out, magical computers are a lot more exciting than realistic computers for the average viewer. It's just that a lot of times they go far beyond suspension of disbelief. Something like "Zoom and enhance", that can move the story, because they've got a ~45 minute episode to catch the killer in and real forensics is far less exciting to people who aren't forensic scientists or don't work with computer science for a living (Read: Most of the world). Something like two people typing at once o out-hack a hacker, though... You have to wonder where the writers get their drugs.

Could someone explain why Marigold's price is so high?
I understand bull ant could be the an explaination. But thinking in normal way, shouldn't most players go terror bird, much cheaper training and much more usefull? lvl 40--> lvl 52 is not far (86,436 exp only) That is why I am confused. For the people who haven't gotten/used the charms to get that far, bull ants are pretty damn good. Summoning doesn't seem to be well understood by the majority of players, and the average player (read: Not a powergamer) is going to need maybe 1000 charms to get that, plus whatever seconds they need and the shards. Quite costly, if you're a low level. That, and there probably aren't as many people growing them as there are low-level summoners.
