I hope it's policed much more strictly than it was in the past. All of those anti-Jagex propaganda 'rants' were just so irritating.

A Target... A Cow, A Player, A Chest, A Banker Ect... Thats what I mean by a Target. =] Look at the arrow pointing at the A button. ;) Huh? Its Just A Line (-.-') [/hide] Step 1: look at the a button and notice the line. Step 2: follow line to word. Step 3: notice the word says "taget". Were you seriously hounding him as a Grammar Nazi? Yeah, real nice. :roll: Take a chill pill, his English isn't so bad that you have to hound him like this. right on the money... making it on console would make it wierd. :ohnoes: rs is a browser game... cant really make it 360. If you have ever played Final Fantasy XI. THEN you will understand what I mean. That can make it like that. There is no limits to what Jagex can do with the money their making off the people playing RuneScape. I'm willing to bet that FFXI was written in C++. You have to understand, even if RS gets put onto the 360 (which I doubt), it still has to run Java. Changing the hardware won't change the language it's written in, especially in the case of Java.

I think you need more time in the think tank. You can't even consider RS on any console until you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can get a Java Runtime Environment on that machine.

QFT. We have that option now, why didn't you take three seconds to check? Well, maybe they were training and a whip is a more viable weapon to use. That doesn't excuse them from not looking to see if you keep it on death or not.

It's weird that no one recalls the first Whip ever being sold. Most of that trade wasn't done in GP, it was done with high class rares, valuable resources, and the like (not to mention a blue partyhat). What that says is that "junk trades" has always existed since trade began, it's just taken center stage all of a sudden as the antithesis to conventional trades. Even though it's been done for ages, I still highly doubt that GP will become obsolete. It would be really nice if Jagex introduced some form of 1K-10K-100K-1M bank certificates to expedite that process, but I believe that we won't stray from the 'gold standard'. At least, not in this decade.

It seems like I can help you, but I'll need a little bit more information. What version of Java are you using? What are you system specs? Ubuntu by default will install OpenJDK with the gcjwebplugin, but this won't work with RS at all. To find out, type java -version. If OpenJDK comes up, then do the following: 1) sudo update-alternatives --config java 2) Select the number that Sun Java appears under 3) Restart Firefox (if it was open) If there are no alternatives, do the following: 1) sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk 2) sudo update-alternatives --config java 3) Select the number that Sun Java appears under For your system specs, you can do the following: Either sudo apt-get install sysinfo (then run sysinfo), noting the specs from each tab, or if you know the make/model/specs, just rattle them off to me. Lastly, are you sure you're running Ubuntu? system32/64 have to do with Vista, not Linux. ;)

I suppose that the joy is still locked away in each and every individual player. For those that loved those activities, they've changed to the point that they believe are unchangeable; for others, nothing's messed up at all. For myself, the joy in still playing is that I'm still having some fun. Sure, it gets boring and tedious at times, but aren't all games like that at one point or another?

It's just a game to me. Whether or not I make so much money, or whether or not I meet so many goals, all in the end, mean nothing -- it was just something to do at the moment. [Not to mention, the games market for Linux is really dry, and I don't like using Wine to run games. Sure, I can play Starcraft, but even so...]

I bet an alliance could do it if they were dedicated enough. The Alliance No, even I doubt that The Alliance could pull the numbers needed to take over the entire map (or any entire subsection thereof). Anyway, I'm believing that there's a side that we're not getting. What besides humans could possibly be involved on these special worlds?

First of all, we know next to nothing except that it's coming, and the players will have drop tables. Now, let's consider for a moment that maybe the drop tables are what the rewards are...not the actual items. Lastly, don't go thinking that RWT is coming back just because we can all of a sudden PK everywhere. Wait until at least a few more facts are in.

You can't say money aside. That strips skills like Construction and Prayer of their difficulty. [sarcasm]Mining is an easy skill, clicking aside. [/sarcasm] I agree. When it comes to prayer, it's either you buy the bones, or you fight for them. Getting large sums of money isn't easy, thus making it harder to obtain the bones. (If you wish to buy them) Especially depending on what kind of bones your buying! If you wish to fight for them, then you need to consider the time on getting them as well as the time in burying them. Don't forget about cost of food and potions - depending on what you're trying to kill. Actually, you can negate the cost factor if you take into account every single skill in the game -- a handful of those cannot be bought, so you can't gauge their difficulty from cost alone. Besides, getting sums of money is simplistic enough -- players seem to get very lucky at GWD/KQ/DK, or are avid slayers (recently had a double whip drop myself). The only thing that makes a skill easy or difficult is the ratio of number of raw goods to experience. Anything that gives you between 350-400% per good is still an easy skill, hands down.

First of all, I haven't been much of a PKer, nor have I really cared for PKing/Wilderness, but I must say that this update will finally add some reprieve to what PKing once was, really. Besides, I might get interested in it again and start training empathetically for that sole purpose again. As for the quest, all I can truly and humbly say is: Hell, it's about time.

No, that didn't help things. If anything, I'm sure it took half of Jagex staff alone to convince Paul that Swiftswitch wasn't "illegal". He also posted shortly after those riots that he didn't want to be seen giving in to those brats. As far as another riot is concerned, let them do whatever the hell they want in the middle of Falador. In the end, it means more server space for you and me. :D

You can't be serious. From what I've seen of repetitious clicking, all it does is make you into a man with carpal tunnel. Anyway, prayer is a very easy skill to level. Money aside, you can get insane experience with either gilded altar or Ectofuntus. [That's how I got from 49 to 70 before gilded altars.]

I was thinking that something in the hardware was damaged, it's just that I don't have the facilities or expertise to confirm that off-hand. Of course, the process of elimination clearly states if three OSes suffer the exact same problem, then something's not working right. It might be in your best practice to take it to a shop, but to avoid the middleman, if you can find a similar card, replace it.

From what I can see, it shouldn't just freeze on random with specs like that. I also notice that it's hitting your swap drive, perhaps that's something to look at. Not sure at this point. It also looks like you have copious amounts of hard disk space, but something's not adding up. What's the graphics card?

The sole reason that it's reporting less than 512MB of RAM is because that graphics card shares memory with the system. As for the lagging, my question is going to be simple. Did you install Ubuntu with an ext3 partition, or a FAT16/32 partition? (And yes, it's possible to put it on a FAT partition.) The answer to that will be in the last tab, or the "File Systems" tab. Barring any radical answer from that question, the main cause of lagging/freezing would be lack of adequate swap and/or RAM. Perform a free command and post the results of that here (you'll get a better formatting if you did something like free > Desktop/free.txt). That will tell me how much memory the system is using. Next, run a df -h command, and put it in a text file in a similar fashion (df -h > Desktop/df.txt). This will tell me how much space your hard disk has. The System Monitor tool isn't all-encompassing on the free space thing, so either a df or the screenshot of your "File Systems" tab will suffice.

I'm willing to believe that it's just Jagex being generous again. Like others, I was one that severely doubted that the guild would be made available to freeplay, but in reality, what are they getting? Just a guild, nothing to be in a tizzy over. Jagex has always been kind/generous to the freeplayers. I don't think that this update was kissing up to them in any way, nor do I believe that this was an update to suffice for the past [read] updates.

So long as we can interact with one-another, or so long as gold is valued above everything, then there will always be RWT. The whole idea behind "stopping" RWT is to make it less appealing or near impossible to conduct, akin to removing the optical drive from a computer -- you haven't stopped the machine from functioning, but you've hobbled the efforts of those trying to install/run malicious programs. [sorry about the analogy. It was either that or some poor Bambi.]

This reminds me of the Summoning debacle, with only conjecture and theory to prove that it would be given to Freeplayers. Basically, what I'm saying is that I really doubt it. It'd be awesome, but I really doubt it.

It was tradable for a time, but only because it looked like unconventional camo. Now I think they updated it so that it looks like British BDU or US Army BDU camo.

Makes sense. Other alternatives to Guthans are starting to appear, such as the Bunyip, which means that Guthan will continue to fall.

@SirHartlar: What those two were trying to get you to do was to update your graphics card drivers, and update to the latest version of Java...but I don't think that's going to help your situation at all. Looking at your specs, it seems that your graphics card/RAM aren't capable enough to run HD comfortably. Sure, it can run it, but if it can't run it with barely any delay, then it's not worth it. It also seems that people are only interested in looking at the bare minimum specs. You've got to look a little higher before it's comfortable for you to run, say 1.5GB of RAM and maybe a newer AGP card (64MB is still acceptable here).

How is that an unfair advantage? First, your graphics card has to be competent to handle drawing something that that resolution (god help you if there's a lot of people there, or you're in GWD); second, it's unwieldy to access menus without the hotkeys, and those are unwieldy in themselves. Third, it doesn't change the draw distance from every NPC/player; all it does is extend the visible range.
