I don't know if everyone's quite as lucky as what's been posted here- with 20 EP and risking well over 75k, my best drop from about seven kills were adamant platelegs.

Any quest with line of sight puzzles is annoying. Rat Catchers Eadger's Ruse Missing My Mummy due to having to get Sq'uirks Furthermore, quests were the direction or area you move into affects the outcome are annoying. Anything Desert based Mourning's End Part Two And many others I forget The reason for this? Runescape's movement system. Point and click. You have little control over how your character moves and the slightest misclick can send you hurtling to certain death. Sure, these puzzles are pretty cool in Zelda or Mario games, but NOT in Runescape.

I think Proselyte's deserves to be bumped up a rank. Sure, it's cheap and only offers adamant level defense, but considering that it offers the highest prayer boost in the game, useful for smiting, piety, chivalry, and protection prayers, and it also requires a long string of quests. Furthermore, when combined with a D mace, the prayer boost goes even higher.

Well, if you're rich, then no. But, amazingly, not all of us are.. I did it at 76 and it's worth it, because I need the money. You get money faster at Monks. And from mining gold, and from killing green dragons, etc. Almost anything is faster than shark fishing. It's under 100k per hour. F2p'ers can make more than that. So, I ask as an avid fisherman, what is the most profitable fish? Monks? Swordies?

maybe the toilets are instanced. it works that way in harry potter Does that mean that if you die while sitting on the toilet your Gravemarker will now appear outside the entrance, somewhere upwind? More importantly, do the toilets have auto-flush capability? Cause if you die whilst using one, I doubt you're going to be able to do it yourself. Edit: And, yes, there are toilets. You know how Runescape is supposed to be set in an age equivalent to the Middle Ages? And you know buckets, right? I'll let you do the math.

I just lost two and half million gp on a Pking world. Now, I know it is to be expected and you probably think this is just some noob whining, but give me a chance to explain. So, I've been wandering the world for about an hour, getting the occasional kill with crappy results. Then I get into a fight with this guy and we start duking it out. We're both eating, praying, he's a little higher than me, but I have better armor. So, he eats twice in a row. Then, quick as you please, this this this [puncture] whose been watching us, immediately, no pause or anything, DDS SPECS me. I survive the first blow, a blasted 31-7 then he hits me again and kills me. HE KILLS ME. I lost my whip, dragon skirt, dragon boots, barrows gloves, neitiznot helm, and so on. And now I've got to replace it all and there goes half my bank. I'm friggin pissed. HOW, HOW HOW HOW! Did this happen? I know how- occasionally, when fighting a monster, when I stop to eat for two or three seconds, another steps in. JUST LIKE HERE. I could take it if I had died at the hands of the guy I'd been fighting, heck it would have been fair. But this idiot just steps in and takes me down. Rant over.

:o :o He is awesome. I r love him Jagex fangirl. -.- I don't think it exactly fair to accuse her of being some groupy. I'm sure she doesn't LITERALLY love him. I would suggest the P familiarises themselves with the concept of hyperbole and the overstatement practices that go along with it I apologize, but he's right. She is a Jagex fan girl, has referred to herself as such in the past, and defends them in almost every argument. I've got nothing against her, but he is correct in calling her such.

Off topic: Also some companies pay Google to make their websites show up in higher search results. Actually Google states that it is not affected by payment, meaning that they do not accept payment for moving a site higher. It actually is a credible source. Not always I agree with that but it can be very helpful Also, Wikipedia is free and non-profit. Most, if not all, of their money goes to maintaining the site.

You may not like it, but it does help the discussion. By bringing up these examples and how effective the counter attack was we can build an argument for either side either A. that Jagex caught them all with no innocents in the crossfire and is therefore being truthful making this a very good update, or B. that they didn't catch them all or did catch innocents in the crossfire making this a very bad update.

But, if there were no random events, there would be WAY too many pissed people because they couldn't get costumes, emotes, etc. And anyways, there are always new macros being made, so when that happens and they don't detect it they need to cover that with randoms. The randoms were a bad idea in the first place. They annoyed players and rarely set back macroers. In fact, practically every update intended to stop macroers has negatively impacted players more than macroers. Anyone remember the pure ess split? Caused Runecrafting in members to skyrocket, as well as removing a way for lower levels to make money. Also had the side effect of increasing the number of gold farmers in PtP. Before all this was fatigue. How well did that work out, again? And now we have this garbage. Already their flawless system has falsely netted the THIRD player in the highscores. No chance to appeal and the fact that they ban ALL your accounts means you can't go to the forums to plead your case or tell others. Heck, Lucipher was lucky because he was such a high level and had friends who could do so for him. But what if you're only a level 56 with 859 total skill levels with a full year of membership? Who's going to defend you?

I feel that rest really isn't a big deal. In most cases, it is only marginally faster than just walking while your energy recovers. The only exception might be for low level agility and musicians. But, nonetheless, all the articles were very well done, though I felt they were a bit on the short side. I also want to comment on The Scale Never Settles. Yes, MMORPGs thrive on change, but I feel that Jagex can only do so much- they've backed themselves into a corner. Whereas WoW and other games can simply release and expansion, Jagex can never go beyond 99. In fact, most improvements have only increased the amount and efficiency of getting exp.

I do not make long posts myself, but am the cause of long posts from others.

Runescape trumps Wow n e day...even my history teacher agrees :lol: Sure, but WoW has an ace up it sleeve which it plays... right... about... NOW!!! FIVE ACES! BEAT THAT RUNESCAPE!

that wasn't very hard, was it? But does it work? I've heard people complaining of getting the same task twice in a row AFTER the update. But the possibility remains they could have gotten the first one before the update.

so you just go kill ivan? Aye. You're told about a magical land, ripe with resources, filled with elves. Unfortunately, you can't visit it. Then, in RS2, they announce a new quest, Regicide. Now you CAN visit that wonderful land! Turns out it's Isfadar.... sigh.

Hopefully complete all quests and start WoW again.

From the hiscores. So yes, he's back. What did we learn? Luckily one of the best Runescape players didn't lower himself to macroing, and Jagex' macro detecting system is NOT bullet proof. Although the latter was already known, here is the proof. Of course, to play Devil's Advocate, he could have received a temporary ban for something entirely unrelated.

I do not have the ability to make a sticky. If someone who does thinks that it should be, they will. That was why I asked Den- he's a mod and maybe he could have a word in the shell like of someone who could make it a sticky. He's not a mod.. So he is. I always confuse the event team for mods...

You know, it occurs to me that it is a brave, or extraordinarily atheist, man or boy who makes his screen name a reference to the Morning Star. In any case, either Jagex's whole we're getting tougher on macros was a bluff, or he was innocent.

No....Just no Lulz not a fan of Rag and Bone man? I do think it could be hinting at some kind of continuance to Rag and Bone man. The quest was annoying as hell, but I'd still like to see a sequel so we can find out what the hell was going on. He wishes to create Stallord: Twilit Fossil! Or mayhaps one of the unbelievably stupid original D&D monsters... like the laming, er, flaming skeleton. Or Brain Golem, a Golem made entirely out of Brains, by the Mindflayers which CONSUME brains. Edit: Apologies, all. I'm kinda hopped up on Nerdosterone. Or maybe Estrogeek...

True. But, like the cockroach, they will adapt to this new "poison" and we'll be right back to square one. Jagex can never truly stop Macros, but they can slow them by making the current programs worthless causing them to create a new batch. WHICH THEY WILL.

Why not make a sticky?

Ah, so you say Jagex EMPLOYEES are infallible then? And if you believe that they can check every single case with a human, with their woefully outnumbered team, then I've got a bridge in San Fransisco I'd like to sell you.

Actualy the "A tail of two cats" = a tale of to cats. Not cities. Pretty much self-explanatory IMO. "A Tail of Two Cats" is a play on the title of the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles [bleep]ens. i can't think of any relation though, and i think i would know meaning last semester i recorded over 125 homework hours on just that book. It's just wordplay, like how Great Brain Robbery has nothing to do with Michael Crichton's Great Train Robbery or any other large theft involving trains But why not do a Tale of Two Kitties than? That rhymes, Cat doesn't. It doesn't have to rhyme? Oh [garden tool] [garden tool]! But it does, my com padre- when committing a truly horrific pun, one of the most basic rules is to make it rhyme, spell it the same, or make it sound phonetically similar. Examples: Great Train Robbery=Great Brain Robbery I feel god's are more concerned with prophets than profits. It appears you prefer the big sea to a big see (clerical humor) Imitation Krabs=Imitation Crab
