It starts to wreak havoc on your body. It's also bad if your body produces too much insulin (they are opposites). You test your blood sugar with a machine that takes a blood sample. It's that little thing that you [puncture] your finger on.

I think you should read the forum rules and respect that posts like yours are unwelcome in these forums. If you are going to spam like this, at least answer his question.

Try being white and still getting checked on planes because you have dark skin. That is humbling.

They are both illegal.

Yep. I spent 6 weeks in ICU with a pacemaker as an INFANT. Beyond that I have had a pretty healthy life. I am pretty healthy (I have to be, in case) but I could stand to get in shape. I plan to be healthier than most people my age for most of my life.

I don't have it, fortunately. Fortunately, it was a type of adult onset diabetes that is not transferred genetically (I hope). I still get myself tested, but have shown no signs. The death of my brother and my near fatal birth were results of birth complications, not the actual disease. And I am 20 years old, so I still have 20 years to go before I can rest easy.

I might as well apologize. For the first time EVER in two years of playing, I have had my private on for 2 weeks. The reason being, every time I put it on public I get spammed with "omg! I get no rune at party" or "great party, whens the next one?' or items of that nature. I already get PM'd hardcore by friends, so it's hard to keep up. I must be so popular because I was the first TET member on the scene and the last for the drop party...

Diabetes took my mom 13 years ago. It also killed my brother 21 years ago and nearly killed me 20 years ago. I feel for you.

When I visited England parents would tell my dad that they didn't want the Irish boy around thier girls. That's about the only time I've been discriminated against. Im Irish-Cherokee, by the way. I'm surprised I even look Irish with dark skin and hair.

I never even asked my date to go with me Prom or Homecoming. She is one of my bestest buds. And yeah, we did that group thing. It was nice. We even saved dinner money at Homecoming when one of my friend's parents opened up thier huge house and served us restaurant style. Oh, and Prom King and Queen was awesome this year. I honestly wish I could show you the picture. Our King was a flute player in the band with a unibrow...yet he beat out the star football players. Our Queen was the head cheerleader who was really good friends with Flute Boy and equally intelligent. They had fun dancing, but the look of shock from the preppy kids watching them was priceless.

I believe that PKing needs a major update to make it more appealing. There are only a small number of PKers (asides from clans) so most of the thier victims are people who venture into the Wild for other reasons (clues, Abyss). We need something to drive more PKers into the wild to pit against eachother.

You are talking about autoers. He (and I) were talking about beggars. It shouldn't hurt mages that much. I craft my own runes (6 basic) and buy the higher levels. I've been hurt nil by this update and I mage quite frequently.

I think Odd meant that the monsters would stop auto-attacking you at combat level 50. Then you can mine in peace.

This thread is not for venting anger over prices, it is about how to overcome the situation. If you want to vent, go to the rants forum. Please don't spam my thread (other people may fall in with you and completely derail my train).

Good article. But there are still ways to overcome the situation without changing anything. I did like option 2, however.

I read a post on the official forums where Zezima said that just by the multiplier effect that making fire runes at that level was more profitable than if he had gotten to 99 on natures or laws. I can believe it...

It's exactly what it says it is. It's the precursor to QP, and basically let you know how prestigous (or how much influence you had) you were in the world of Gielenor.

Exactly! People are looking at the negative aspects while there are major positives to this situation!

One of my date's best friends got stood up by her date. I danced with both of them, nobody really cared. Prom was very fun for pretty much everyone involved. You don't go to Prom to fulfill some social requirement, you go to have fun.

Ladies and Gentlemen, free player or subscriber: Yesterday, Java Gaming Experts released an update to thwart autoing at the rune essence. In this way, they have restricted free essence to the 6 basic runes that can be made in the free game, and pure essence that can be crafted into any rune. I am seeing topics all over these boards: "The economy is ruined! F2P economy is gone! P2P runecrafting is ruined!" are all too familiar topics we have seen in the past 24 hours. However, did Wall Street know the full implications of the Stock Exchange Crash in the early 1920's? Surely not after only 24 hours! To me, this is gross overreaction. Free players state that the majority of thier essence customers are Members. Members claim that high-level crafting is finished because the supply is gone. I have a solution for each of these groups. Some may say they are mean or cruel, but to this I must say "go eat cake". To the people of the free worlds! You claim that members will no longer buy your essence, but that is not true! Zezima himself went from 84 to 99 Runecrafting on FIRE runes! Not to mention that Ancient Mages and Ahrim's users require the beneficial AIR rune to power our missile spells (naysayers assume that every mage in Runescape uses the staff of air). Eath and water runes are needed for snares and curses, a major aspect of P2P PKing! We need mind runes for our Slayer Darts in the Barrows (which seems to be driving a major aspect of the P2P economy!) and body runes for curses! You see, Free Players, P2P NEEDS YOUR ESSENCE! More importantly, I ask that you endeavor not only to mine essence, but convert it into these 6 basic runes and sell them to Suscribing Players! Without your basic help, the magic industry would be crippled! To the People of the Suscribing Worlds: You claim that your supply of essence has completely run out, that you are too "lazy" to mine your own essence. Well then, you forget just where that essence came from: players desperate for money! Even in the suscribing worlds, I see beggars and poor folk. Instead of telling them "Get away from me n00b!", why not ask them if they would like a job! With the thousands of low-levelled members desperate for GP, we can create a new essence pool for the high-levelled runes! In addition, many of you scoff at the prospect of mining your own essence. Why?! Have you not built up your other skills one click at a time? Or have you just been lazy, buying materials from others and relying on others to increase your skills? NO FURTHER! I have mined my own essence and ores, gotten my own cowhides, and gained other materiel for myself in my two years playing Runescape. My non-combat skills may not be 99, but I chose to enjoy the game and make what was needed. You people seem so uppity in your quest for money and experience that you have become reliant on the work of others! When did you think the bottom was going to drop out? What if the doomsayers are right, and soon there are "pure logs" or "pure tin ore"...You will be up the proverbial creek without a paddle. So I ask each P2P member to stop relying solely on markets and other's blood and sweat. I ask each of you to start gaining materials for yourself. Not only will you notice a major decrease in your pocketbook, but you will note an increase as well! So in conclusion, I have presented some fairly unpopular ideas that can see us through this whole essence situation without bringing about a GP crash or party hats raining from the sky or something terrible of that nature. I don't ask that you actually follow these concepts, but at least know that there is an option for you instead of coming to these forums and making 27 topics about "JAGEX SCREWED ME!!!1". Good Day.[/b]

Your sig pisses me off because you didn't own anyone. People who quote themselves in thier signatures are not cool. And OMG, all those POOR members who HAVE to BUY their essence will QUIT because they are LAZY!!! I mined 2k essence in less than an hour today and still was able to craft it 5x into airs. Funds lost: Zero. Funds gained: 10000 airs, most of which I sold. Whoamygod. My message to my fellow P2P members: GET OFF YOUR BUMS! Mining essence is not hard! So you have to work a little harder to runecraft. Big deal! This update has effected me not. I mine my own essence so I dont have to pay for it. I am glad the autoers are gone but who cares because you don't have to fight over essence. So oh lord! Jagex are sorry bums because they are making us work just a whee bit harder! God forbid this game doesn't get EASIER after every update.

Just find an empty number and write something greedy. Look at other rules for ideas. It's just for fun.

Excellent! Keep adding! And please, you do not have to be a Trekkie to play along. That's the fun of the game!

No you don't. Pure essence can be crafted into ANY rune. This is a pretty decent solution. By doing this, they have removed autoers largest customers, therefore making it a major blow against the macro community.

Added. Thanks! Feel free to come up with more! (Those were awesome!) Come on guys! I know you are all greedy with a lust for latinum!
