Listen to music/audio books. And the usual: chatting, surfing etc.

Ay, something has gotten in the way and I can't make it to the event :cry: But if its a rather long event, I'll drop by later and still help out :D

I am offended by your signature message please remove it. Ditto.. :notalk: Well yeah, it is dumb. But everyone has his own opinion, and everyone is free to tell it to the world. You're no bit better than the Reli- fundamentalists who want to forbid everything that is not right according to their religion, if you won't let people be free in what they choose to say. So what if it's dumb and idiotic ? Their choice.

If I'm free that night, I'll help you guys with the picking :P

Something like this : http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=541828 You'll have to have 500 steel bars first though.

Medieval, and the music you hear while mining in Al Kharid mine, I think it's Arabian 2.

I already do that ;) :P

Yeah, I know: You're right, it's very hard~impossible to maintain in the real Runescape world & suggestion, and it is a wild suggestion, but I could always try :) I know :wink: But I think a filter that is set to capitalize any "I" standing on his own is relatively easy to make. Ofcourse there would always be the problem of other languages.

Well ok, I may have formulated it a bit wrong ; I meant that it isn't to make lots of money fast, the situation in which you would use shortcuts. If you'd want to just make lots of money fast and use shortcuts etc. --> normal server. If you'd want to roleplay a merchant in the runescape world, use your imagination and for a while "pretend" you are in the world of runescape (the poiint of roleplaying), and you're a merchant, which would include selling, buying and making money, but it would go a bit slower --> Roleplaying server.

:wink: Well, but you wouldn't always have to use the rp'ing server. If you just feel the need to make lots of money in a short period of time, you're free to use the other servers. A rp'ing server isn't to make money, it's to roleplay

Woops, sorry. Double post

Well yeah, but now everyone also has different opinions on "acceptable behaviour" in Runescape. There are much reports made, which in the eyes of other players don't deserve reports. Eventually, everything is a bit opinion based, except some hard zero-tolerance rules.

I was wondering (and I searched to see if this Idea hasn't been presented before) about the possibilities of a roleplaying server. Eh, why ? And what would be the difference ? :-k In my opinion, an RPG such as Runescape is different than other games, because, with a little imagination, you can actually stand in your characters shoe's and live a life in world of Runescape. Just playing the game with a nice atmosphere (It kinda sounds like I'm a freak now, I'm not :wink: ) but that good atmosphere is being disturbed by 90% of the players with a name by the formula ". For example "Legolas883, Flame33384 etc.". These people also seem to be unable to follow the basic laws of English grammar and spelling: "omg noob", "4u, r u, etc." Can't there be one runescape server which has +- the following rules ? [*]All conversation have to happen in normal english(on the english roleplaying server, if the idea is popular, other countries could follow) (with "artistic freedom" ofcourse), and the style has to match a bit with the general style of runescape. Originality is encouraged. Examples : Instead of "sell hides 4 100ea" "Get y'er cowhides ! Only 100gp each !" "hey can u cut my saph" "Hello there, I was wondering if you could cut my sapphire ?" (Also, why can't you capitalize the "I" further in a sentence ? :wink: ) If someone makes minor spelling errors, that's ok. It's just not ok make errors on purpose. [*]Names have to be in line with the general (semi-medievil) atmosphere ; so no "Cyberpunk233" etc. [*]Discussion is ofcourse possible, a real society isn't always peaceful, but in general "stupid" fights will not be allowed. Also the use of such words as "noob" etc. "Oh my god, you noob, that's my rock ! " The importance of politeness would be stressed more on this server than on the regular ones. Ok, but .. who would monitor this all ? The moderators are already busy enough ! :-k Well, I think that there are a whole lot of people who have similar views on the naming, talking etc. rapidly degenerating on runescape, and who would be delighted to take on a role of a moderator on this new server. There would also be an other "reporting" than the normal reporting option, a kind of "OOT (out of character) report" where you can report people that haven't done anything illegal like scamming, but who are breaking the rules of the roleplaying server. It's just a wild idea that I felt like writing down, what do you think ?

It would make appointments a whole lot easier. For example, I live in Europe, and it's hard to make an appointment with someone in an other timezone, like in America. "Ok, so when do we meet ?" "Ehhm, 5pm ?" "Ehm ok, which timezone are you in ? "Huh what ?" "Timezones, 'i'm in GMT+1 and you ?" "Ehh" "Wait since you live in X, that would be timezone X, so X hours apart. But wait, does that include daylight savings time?" "Ehhm how late is it where you live now ?" And then you have to calculate everything etc. One central time would make thing easier.
