Do you feel like a wuss being pked by another person instead of an npc? Are you blind to the amount of bots we have already? MMG is a business man. For once it's what people alot of people want. The reasons why free trade and wilderness were removed don't apply anymore- botting and rwting is as strong as it was 3 years ago, but only if you open your eyes. Meanwhile, jagex has never recovered from the popularity drop that was caused by the removal of free trade. Stupidity makes a return. Enjoy your abyss pking for glories. Extend an invitation to a 10 year old to make a stellar deal just north of the wildy fence line. Welcome back the little bald green guys as they mass around every yew tree. Slam the doors and spam the screen with whatever you can when another unprepared played steps in the line of danger at places like the hero's guild blue dragon. Camp dharok's tomb for goodies. Hey, it's not like you'll be posterized in a HA12D video. Mmm, your posts make good Haikus. I wish Jagex actually did the poll properly. Hang on, haven't they already got a polling system in place already, with password checks and everything? Why on Guthix's third nipple didn't they just use that one?

Not really. On the most part, it works fine. The days of updates big enough to redefine the game are long gone, because the game is far bigger than any update Jagex can muster without being tempted to releasing it in parts. Also, I like the idea of cleanup year, filling up the empty spaces in content, and tidying up every interface to be elegant and efficient (as well as standardised! The huge variety of older and newer windows makes them very unintuitive). Also, more clothes and character personalisation. That was probably the most widely supported update I've ever seen, and I'm keen to see more. I can make a list of gameplay problems, logical problems, etc. Theres really a lot of broken features in the game that cant be fixed without a catastrophic update that would be controversial at best. Jagex themselves said that a lot of this came from the game not having a plan. Was free trade and PKing two of them, perchance? If there's more I'd love to hear them, you might be right, but I can't think of any others.

Shouldn't this be part of the existing threads regarding the vote on free trade/wilderness? I'm going to wait for the FAQ before I pass further judgement, which will be released tomorrow.

dw, someone else will vote for you :P Even if they do, my conscious is clean. I admire that Jagex was able to take the [cabbage] out. I hated going on forums, haggling with people. It was a waste of my [bleep]ing time. Even if they leave the GE in, who is going to say people will use it? Glad I got Cooking and Fletching out of the way. Sure they're easy, but [bleep] you if this is implemented and the buy-ables become a pain the in ass because I have to deal with [bleep]ing casuals who enjoy wasting my time. Everyone will use the GE. Since the price will be recommended, as opposed to forced, everyone will get what they want at the right price. I'm confident about that.

Ahahahahahaha... Well, if this petition hasn't made my day, that has. 'It is however a PR stunt to get your opinion on the matter and then act on that.'

I often confuse it with iPlayer, my bad.

No, that can't be the case. Runescape still lands the company a ludicrous amount of profit each year... I think? Okay, now I'm worried. When does Jagex release it's financial report?

I'm fighting Nomad, it's the last thing I need to do before I get a quest cape. I'm using the Ruby Bolts (e) method, black dragonhide armour, hiding behind pillars, sara brews and s. restores, everything. My question: I've got 71 Prayer, should I use the Sap Mage curse or the Eagle Eye and Steel Skin prayers? Answered, normal prayers are better.

Ooh, co-ownership. I can imagine a lending system variant that would work well with that. But I digress. We have no idea what's going to happen. A lot of items have never experienced anything other than restricted trade, and a lot have floated outside the GE market range ('freezing'). This is going to be fascinating.

Possibly, although it's not wholly necessary. Bringing back free trade doesn't imply that everything to do with it must go too. I also recall that I need to eat a hat, a sock, and a shoe as well. Today has not been a profitable day. Humble pie has been going around alot to today...crow too. Gotta say i'm suprised Trying to see if i can swing a tip.it exclusive interview. Cheers, Das. Might shine a bit of light on what's really going on here.

Agreed. I'd make a bet, but I don't have any money now. :( EDIT: You know what? I'm voting yes. Simply because I'm a trusting person, and I cannot visualise that Jagex would ever make a business decision that would cripple its own company. They must have done something.

And here we are, on a Runescape fansite. Trust me, there's a limit.

Maybe they actually sorted out something with a bank or Paypal or something? I would really really love to hear what precautions they would/will/have take(n) to stop the game going completely FUBAR. What's changed since 3 years ago? My gray hair from waiting for this update to come back! I myself am a pk'r, I am in a pk clan, and it sucks. People run to their little bh stairs trying not to die over 40k lol. This is a huge plus for all the pk clans out there as well as pk'rs. I hate to say it, but I think Jagex is already bringing this back, the "poll" is just there to get the reactions from the people and to spread the news to take part in a "event". Oh yes, I appreciate that, I think everyone does. It's just that I'm wondering if there will in fact be a game for you to PK in soon because of this. Jagex told those of us who played three years ago that they had to do it because the banks were threatening to remove Jagex's ability to provide the membership service because so much credit card fraud was occurring in direct relation to Runescape RWT*. Have the banks retracted this conditional threat, or are Jagex going to take them on in some way? If it's the latter, they are committing financial suicide. If it's the former, how on earth did they do it? * See: http://www.runescape...se/guid/diary06 (EDIT: I know, it's been quoted and linked ad nauseum, but whatever)

if this happens, custom rank on me, But it probably won't. Yo Das, I'd like my custom rank to say "That one Climbing Boots Guy" Thanks. Words cannot describe how much of a win this is.

I think I owe several people quite a lot of money. Well I never, I think I'll have to do a bit of soul searching about this...

Sorry. I don't think this works outside of the UK, but here's a mighty good interview with Assange regarding Wikileaks and the sexual assault allegations, the first one after he was granted bail. http://news.bbc.co.u...000/9308216.stm EDIT: And a transcript for people who can't listen to it. http://news.bbc.co.u...000/9309320.stm Works for me (Canada). Ah, good. I'll leave the transcript there anyway.

There's the problem, the homophobic attitude of many of the people in the military. Thing is, having a 'no openly gay' official policy hardly helps matters, does it? In the longer term, it will be beneficial. It's the transition between the two that will be difficult, but it's worth it in the long run to minimise if not eliminate homophobia.

Yeah, this bugs me. Can someone adjust the title? I remember that they've held similar prize draws like this before, but it was artwork or membership credit or something? Cash is much more exciting, cheers Jagex :)

I still think that the best holiday event reward was the four scarves and matching woolly hats, but this comes close. Does anybody else imagine the voice of Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2 when they talk to Thok, Master of Dungeoneering?

That was one of the finest events that I've seen in a long time. 'Heim Crabs are for life, not just for Christmas.'

Shouldn't the potentially best armour in the game be dropped by a...decent boss? I've tried soloing all the bosses except the corp. In my opinion, the KQ is tougher then Bandos and Zammy godwars. They drop some pretty good stuff, so if we are going to talk about drops in relation to difficulty to kill, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Also, Jagex mentioned a while ago that they wanted to rework the KBD and KQ drop tables. [spoiler=Hide video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGLwmW-k97k One video proves nothing, people have videos of them taking Jad down in ten seconds. Does that mean everyone does so? No. This is using inductive reasoning as a logical fallacy. One example cannot be used as a generalization to prove a whole. [/hide] And IMO, it isn'tand thought posting the video would reflect that. But this isn't about the QK, and I think it would be stupid for jagex to add more drops to a boss, who already have exclusive drops. The KQ doesn't have any exclusive drops, and why would that matter anyway? The point here is that some bosses don't have good enough risk/reward factors, so adding drops would fix that. After all, it's either that or making the bosses easier.

Why is it necessary to have people pick up every charm they see? Low-level charms are just that. It's like saying that it's disappointing that there's no incentive to mine copper/tin when you're level 60 mining.
