Paul said they would be a MAJOR addition to the storyline in the future.

Untrue, I got a mid to highrange computer on christmas of 2000 (not bleeding edge, definitely not). Up until last year it was still kicking with some of the more recent games (1.7ghz, 512mb ram, PCI FX 5200.. although it does have an AGP slot...... Can you say D'oh!) Invest in your computer, it will pay back for years to come :) Agreed, my 3 year old Dell still kicks out the best games. It's called upgrading, and PC is the only choice that supports it. It's not like I am up to date, but I try to stay 6-18 months behind so low prices and high power stay with me.

Do you range a bow and arrow? No, you fire or shoot an arrow. Just like you shoot or fire a bullet.

Revolution *hides* But seriously...it does all Sega and Nintendo games so I am planning on getting it. Out of your choices, I would stick with the PC. PS3 next, and 360 last. The 360 is amazingly buggy.

There will be posts for each event as the time for that event draws near. The only date/time/world info released so far is for the Whack-A-Noob event.

Google.

He is the owner and creator of Runescape.

Code a game as complex as Runescape in a wierd language (runescript) and then tell me that quote again. Only Andrew knows Runescript perfectly, and he does not do everything himself. Even the best games have mistakes...thats what patches and bugfixes are for.

Being a Yank, I am unfortunately ill read on our cousins across the water :(.

Exactly what it says. The confusion was with GMT.

Sorry, first thing that came to mind :(.

You hit the nail on the head, thanks :P.

Not true! You don't need a rubber chicken to act crazy! Plus, there is still the cabbage bombing for ya! :)

Not a problem! That's only half the fun! :)

Many a times in the past, the Tip.It Events Team has hosted Wilderness PKing trips, Castle Wars Excursions, and even battles to the death at the Tzhaar Pits. Many recall the sound of our battle cry: "STATS ON ******!!!1". It has been brought to my attention that some of you were not able to attend these events for lack of equipment or improper levles, so the Council of Entertainment has decided to do something about it. A scroll is placed in every city of Gielenor, it reads:

Eagle Scout.

After the introduction of the Arquebus, Platemail lived on for over a 100 years. They just made stronger platemail. Armor ceased effectiveness after the introduction of the Musket in the 17th century.

Please explain? There are advanced cannons and other modern items around Gielenor. The Arquebus is SIX HUNDRED years old. In fact, it was used in the Middle Ages. There is no reason why there should not be one.

Very nice. Ill work on the 80 defense armor tonight. Now those will be a doozy.

I think it was less of the small twigs scratching his face and more of the sturdy branches hitting him at 30 mph. Sorry to hear that, man. It's always a troubling thing to have to witness that.

Striker, that was inappropriate. "Women are like wolves. If you want a wolf, you have to trap it. You have to snare it. And then you have to tame it. Keep it happy. Care for it. Feed it. Lovingly, the way an animal deserves to be loved. And my animal deserves a lot of loving." Im just kidding. (Quote is from Dwight of The Office) It would help if you could tell us some of your "woman's" (wife? Girlfriend? Fiance'?) interests.

So every once in a while I like to throw in something for the new waves of RS Discussion-goers to go over. This idea either goes down as a great hurrah, or as a great temptation to some poster's maturities ("PMG, no Dr4g0n B4z00k4 n00b!!!1). This idea is...the Arquebus. Just what is an Arquebus you say? Why, it's a 15th century European and Asian musket. Fires a .70-.75 caliber iron ball with the accuracy of a yo-yo. It singlehandedly changed the Japanese culture in 1562, after decimating the serfs in France and Spain. What it would look like/Weight: Note that the armsman is still wearing armor. This means that it fits perfectly with the "timeline" Runescape is set in (of course, we also have electric heaters, light bulbs, talking dragons, etc). The item itself would weigh 23 Kilograms. Thats more than half of full runite armor. Items that accompany the weapon: The weapon would be accompanied by a mould for making the balls, a ramrod, wadding, and a powder horn. Also introduced would be the Armsman Armor in bronze-rune (and an additional set above rune to be a quest reward). The armor would be reinforced chainmail covering the arms. A chain skirt goes to just below the knees. A helmet like the one in the picture above would be worn. This armor gives the same protection as platelegs and chainmail, but provides a ranged bonus ONLY when used in conjunction with the Arquebus. And of course, the poofy pants are included :P. How it works: To load an Arquebus, you must have the musket, powder keg, wadding, balls, and ramrod in your inventory. First, you use the powder keg on the musket. Next, you use the wadding on a ball to create a "readied ball". You then use this on the musket. Next, you use the ramrod on the musket to jam the ball in and pack it. Then, you use the powder keg on the musket again to fill the firing mechanism. Finally, you right-click the arquebus and "prime the hammer". All of these actions have the respective animations on your avatar. To fire, all you have to do is click a target, then hit the "special bar" to fire. After that, the weapon is automaticaly unequipped and you must load again. Loading should take 15-20 seconds, less if you get good at it. A mistep when loading could result in the weapon going off and breaking OR damaging yourself. A bayonet would be equippable on the right click in the inventory. When this is affixed, all attacks become stab melee. "Line Formation!": The weapon does only a small amount of damage by itself. A lone PKer would find this weapon to be completely useless. However, the weapon recieves a damage boost if multiple armsman are standing in a line. If there are two people, damage is increased by 2, if 4 it is increased by 3, etc. This weapon is fully designed to be a team-based weapon. A company of armsmen (10 or so) could wreak havoc on unsuspecting PKers. The only armor resistant to the barrage is platemail, but at below 3 squares Platemail is ineffective at defense. The Arquebus' maximum range is 10 squares. After that, you begin to hit fractions of what would have been hit. Comments: Please leave comments to help refine the idea. Your ideas are greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 80 Defense Armor: Coming Soon! Lancer armor: In fantasy worlds, a lancer is a spear-wielding warrior who slays dragons for a living. His armor consists of the dead foes he has vanquished, and grants him strange abilities. What it would look like: Stats: Apart, the items have the same defense as rune, together the stats become: Stab: +381 Slash: +405 Crush: +375 Magic: +70 (Dragons are resistant to magic) Range: +35 (Dragons are not so resistant to arrows, this is the balancing factor) Prayer: +4 Spear stats: Stab: +112 Slash: +110 Crush: +108 Magic: -31 Range: -41 Strength: 100 Special Effects: When wearing a full set, the lancer has a 1.5x increase in movement speed but only a 1x drain on energy. The set weighs only 18 kilos. In addition, a 2x attack speed is given. Additionally, the set acts as a dragonfire shield, and you are resistant (but not immune) to dragonbreath. Finally, damage is multiplied 1.5x against dragons. Special Attacks: There are three: Sonic Spear: You thrust forward 3 squares and do damage to any target in your path. Targets taking up more than one square can be hit twice. Takes 65% of special bar Jump: Jump high in the air and hit your opponent on the head. 30% chance of an instant KO, 30% chance of double damage, 30% chance of normal damage, 10% chance of no damage. Takes 100% special bar. Stunning Blow: Hit your target for normal damage and stun for 6 seconds. Uses 40% of special bar. Comments: PMG!!1 Melee armor with mage bonus? Is he mad? This is offset by the fact that Lancers will be separate from warriors. Damn the triangle. I have numerous sets left, for various other classes. This particular set is balanced by the fact that it has little ranged protection. It is designed to fight dragons to the death. Sets coming up: Warrior, Sage, Hunter, Cleric, Armsman (crossbow) Note: These sets will be slightly more powerful than barrows.
