This could be a glitch. People have been noticing several in game, so why not in the forum?

Coughremovaloffreetradestakingandpkingcoughhack WHEEZE... That said, this guy is wrong.

I always assumed whips were made from the small intestine of Abyssal Demons. So, in an effort to play a prank on you, it regurgitates a vital organ and hands it to you? Anything for a joke, I suppose.

Nah, it needs a LOT of tweaking to do that. And even then, the requirement for slayer and the uselessness of lower leveled players will still be obstacles to the number one spot. Castle Wars will always be one of the most, if not THE most, accessible competitive minigame.

Which is like saying: "A club was a worthwhile weapon before. Now, with a nail in it, it's better than a flint knife!" in the high middle ages.

What happens if you take him into THE ABYSS?

But those strategies are ridiculous! Not because they don't work, but because they shouldn't dictate the winners. An example: I'm playing Starcraft as the Zerg and I build as many Zerglings as soon as I can, as quickly as I can, and as many as I can. Then I send them to attack my opponents base. Since this is early in the game, they initially can not fend them off. But they build some units and do. I feel satisfied, knowing that they lost their lives for a good cause: to cripple my enemies and give me an initial advantage. BUT! Later in the game, I find myself losing. My initial strategy helped, it bought me some time, but my over zealous use of melee ground units allows my Terran foes to pick them off with air support and heavy fire. So, my initial gamble helped, but it in no way ensured my victory. And that's how this game should be. Look at Castle Wars. What happens if one team initially swamps the field and carries the day? There's still a pretty good chance that they'll be defeated. Of course, the problem this game has is also shared by Stealing Creation. An early, offensive push will destroy your opponents for the entire game. And that's no fun.

It's useful for a select few monsters, that's true. But Jagex botched it. If it could be poisoned and if they hadn't just recycled the Dragon Spear's special, maybe by giving it one comparable to the saradomin sword, than it would be far more useful. At least that's what I think.

From what I hear, for I am currently non members, this game is Castle Wars meets Pest Control with a Black and White Motif. Forces of Destruction and Creation? Animal avatars? Why not go a step further and have a huge, black ape on one side and a large, white lion for the other. And where'd all the other slayer monsters go? Just jellies and pyrefiends?!? Why not put other monsters, in a wide range of levels. Maybe some hands so everyone can help and some nechryaels so high level players can REALLY tear into the avatar's required slayer level.

That's just the oncoming train at the end of the tunnel. I jest! I jest; this all sounds good. But, maybe, a little too good; to my eyes, it appears that he may just be doing this to appease the sheep like masses. But I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. One, two, maybe three months to see any changes. Then, if there are some, I might get membership again. I also understand why the TET team is miffed. It appears J mods, who have been notorious for being rarely seen, have been attending Tipit, and other site's events, for several months. And now they say they're doing their own events? This sounds, but may not actually be, like they've been observing fan site events with the express intention of stealing ideas. Until this is cleared up, I believe that is exactly what they were doing.

Account age has nothing to do with whether or not that person is capable of violating the rules. I have seen proof of that on Tip.it. In fact, some of the biggest rule-breakers that I've seen have also had some of the oldest accounts. And even if you did not get any xp from the penguins, abusing the glitch was still your intention if you clicked multiple times. But what he's implying is that a four or five year old account has a LOT of time poured into it, and the player is often a loyal member. So they should FULLY assess the situation before they take action. I'm not saying his story is true, but I do think it very well could happen. The thing with Jagex is, in a crisis situation, many players view them like many people around the world view Bush: "Dear Lord, what's the monkey going to do NOW?!?" And often with good reason. Jagex has made enough boneheaded decisions to land them a permanent leadership role in a squad of Ogryns.

Actually, I anticipate the random removal above all else. I don't particularly like Distractions and Diversions and Runescape's minigames are always hit or miss.

One question. Aren't the charities that Jagex donates to usually involved in online safety? Which in a roundabout way helps their business?

Does it explain why there wasn't an update this week? Because now they have four to do and only three weeks to release them.

Last year wasn't so hot. Summoning's initial release was horribly flawed, and Jagex had an inane fixation on Minigames and Distractions and Diversions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at the two months we've had this year, they still have it. But, there were some significant good changes. Like Summoning 2: The New Batch. Although I still think it needs to be more accessible to skillers...

Or more efficient methods of training were released.

I believe scimitar will not be nerfed, and the specs of the current weapons will not be changed, unless there is a new RS release, like RS3. That is to say that Jagex will only add in weapons with different stats, to try and balance their game more. I think a weapon as fast as a whip, and as strong as a whip, but can train strength is needed. There needs to be some downside to this weapon though, it has to degrade, need sharpened, etc. Then the base will split between this weapon and the scimitar. How bout a weapon as fast and strong as a whip, but incapable of training defense. It also hits crush instead of slash.

No, this... is... RUNESCAAAAPE!!! And yeah, this REALLY cheapens the game and frustrates thousands of players who did it the hard way. Worst glitch EVER, even more so than the Falador Massacre.

That's what she said. :D OT: The only thing that I dislike about some skills in Runescape is that you can take raw materials, do something with them, and you lose money. You are spending time doing something, so why should you lose money? In real life, taking raw resources and creating a product usually makes you money, not lose it. Some skills to name are smithing, crafting, herblore, etc. Other than that, I like almost all the skills, except farming, it is soooo boring to me... All skills can be done for "free". Training a skill by buying the resources makes it cost money. Gathering your own resources will make it more like "real life" in that you will make money. Catch fish (= free), cook fish, sell fish. EEEEH! I'm sorry, but that answer is incorrect. You do not make money be gathering your own resources for making end products, but LOSE money. An example: You gather Green Dragonhides worth 1.5k each. You craft them into Vambraces worth 1.3k each as well as tanning them for an increased time expenditure. You actually LOSE 200 gp on each hide and even more from the time it took to gather and tan them. And in reality, businesses almost ALWAYS buy their raw materials or parts and then use them to produce something worth a good bit MORE than the materials, wages, and time expenditure.

I believe that this is the reason, and agree with the view put foreward by Dan, above. I don't understand why almost everyone else can't seem to understand this. Erichermit even showed Jagex explicity stating that you should take 'history' with a pinch of salt to say the least. Why would the average person know what happens in the hardest and longest quests? Only, what, like a handfull of people know what happened in the depths of Lumbridge in While Guthix Sleeps. Just as it is in real life; the truth from actions of old will only come with the deepest reseach into them. Or the internet is invented, and information is assimilated through the masses in mere minutes.

N-no penguins! GRAAAAAAGH!! I'm going through withdrawal!!! They're forcing me to go cold penguin!!!! I... I can't take it. Collapses to the ground, foaming at the mouth, minor muscles twitching, and limbs flailing erratically.

It says "As taught to the normal citizens of the kingdom of Misthalin."

Yeah. \ Me too. I even had a quote in the torpedo tube: "An essence divided cannot stand."

Macroer: And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling randoms!

NO! Do not mention his name; he comes when called...
