Awesome! Thanks for implementing this so quickly. :grin:

I really love this idea. If it's not difficult/time consuming I think it would be very useful to add.

It's disappointing to hear this. I was really looking forward to seeing how they would overcome removing a lot of the grind in Stellar Dawn. I suppose Transformers is far more important money wise as it has a higher guarantee of success.

Moving this to the Programming subforum as it's probably a bit more suited there. Personally I'd recommend Python to start with. It's simple for beginners but can do some really powerful stuff if you know how to use it. I don't have any tutorials offhand but try and do some work with the following topics: Variable Types If Statements While Loops For Loops Modules Creating Functions Lists Once you get a good grasp of the fundamentals you can start looking into some more difficult stuff and a lot of the things you learn (loops, boolean algebra) can be applied to other languages.

This is relevant: http://forum.tip.it/topic/258387-tipit-forum-status I think it's actually not possible (will have to wait for an admin to confirm) but it would be a nice fix to have if it is possible to change. RSN/Clan are different I assume because they have text fields which don't display when empty whereas status is a drop down box which functions differently.

I feel like this is entirely just a marketing gimmick to get more subscribers. I wouldn't be surprised if F2P have a higher chance of getting rare items so that they face the dilemma of subscribing multiple times a month.

I'd assume it would be total xp milestones as at that xp you wouldn't be leveling up anymore in the skill.

As far as I'm aware paybycash is the only way you can pay using debit cards. I think it's possible to hook a paypal account up to a debit card and use that method but Jagex doesn't support debit transactions directly, you need to go through paybycash or paypal.

Firstly I'd suggest you read this announcement to help you beef up your security. Yes, if they have access to your email then all they have to do is send a request and a link is sent to your email to reset your password on RS. I personally scan weekly with Microsoft Security essentials (which you have installed), Malwarebytes, and Spybot S&D. Microsoft Security Essentials is just an antivirus program, silverlight is similar to Adobe flash except it runs certain microsoft visual applications, and powershell is used for command line scripts. No need to worry about any of them. To be honest, I don't think you were keylogged. Run the appropriate virus scans and if nothing turns up your most likely fine. From what you described it seems very likely it was just an email hack and your main concern should be keeping your email secured.

Lately we've been holding recruitment drives for the different staff sections (crew, mod, TMHT, editorial panel) a couple of times a year between all of them. So while you may not make the post requirements now, if you're an active and helpful user there's always a chance of another recruitment drive happening at a later date that you can apply for. All of the teams are also always on the lookout for users to nominate & invite as well so there's always a chance of being brought onto one of the teams anytime throughout the year. :)

You could always come back! Hope to see some good applications, it'll be nice to have some fresh blood on the team. :thumbup:

Damn, why would they do that. Was a good tactic if you needed a small health boost and no medic was nearby. :/

Just out of curiosity, when did they remove the ability for heavies to eat sandwiches by walking over them?

You know an easy solution would just be removing the ability to kick players after the boss has been killed as long as said player has dealt a significant portion of damage.

Backburner is awesome, but once you get enough practice using air blasts I find it's not as good as the degreaser + axtinguisher combo. (Airblasting heavies off of the edge on the first stage of thunder mountain payload is just too much fun) Just depends on the situation I guess.

He was the only one able to pot to 99 though so the others on his team were essentially just being jerks to him. Either way I'd second playing with friends or at least join a reputable dungeoneering clan where you can get to know a lot of the people.

If you're fast at clicking or use mousekeys it would probably be worthwhile to do blackjacking to at least level 81 where Pyramid Plunder will start to give you equal or better xp/hr. From there you could do Pyramid Plunder all the way to level 99 for the best experience. I also have heard that thieving monkey knife fighters might be even better xp than Pyramid Plunder so it might be worthwhile to check them up. (Sorry I don't know much about xp rates for Monkey knife fighters) If you find that you can't maintain a fast clicking rate when blackjacking then you might want to try Pyramid Plunder sooner as it's not as click intensive. It really just depends on your gameplay style.

DAZ 3D is offering $800 worth of 3D modelling software for free until the end of February. I've never used it but I thought I'd post a link for anyone who might want it. As far as I can see there's no catch besides having to sign up for their email newsletter and having to download it within 5 days of getting it. I'm guessing they hope people will get the software for free and then buy the expensive model and texture packs they sell. I'll probably try it out even though I've never done any 3D graphic work, not sure if it's any good or not compared to the other alternatives out there.

Make sure you have javascript enabled otherwise you'll encounter the errors you described.

Wow, very cool feature for the forums. This will really bring the quality of help in the H&A forum to the next level if it's used frequently. Thanks for all the effort both of you put into this! :thumbup:

It's kind of annoying because I decided to take a break and not play while school is in due to lack of time, so I'd have to pay the more expensive price if I resubscribed again in the summer. However to be fair it is still one of the cheapest MMOs to subscribe to and I can't blame them for a price increase every couple of years. As long as they still offer decent discounts for 3 month/6 month subscriptions I don't mind paying an extra couple of dollars. Just means I'll have to play lots more during the months I subscribe to get my money's worth. Also as a side note at least Jagex will make more money off of P2P bots that subscribe and get banned soon after.

:blink: Where was this, Gandorf? Could this be the mystical Crate of legend that adorns the HYT clan cape? The very same one I believe. It got very crowded with all the event goers in there. :P

A lot of great memories happened at the TET events. Sad to see the team finally come to a close after having such a successful 7 1/2 years. :( I wish I could have attended more events over the past year but sadly work always conflicted with the Saturday events and TETAU didn't fit my timezone. I'll definitely never forget all the memories made during 2009-2010 when I was able to be there for almost every event. Here's just a few pictures I had saved over my time attending the events, sorry I don't know which events they are all from but most of them range from 2009 to mid 2010 with a few from 2007-2008. [spoiler=Lots of Pictures!]Pictures include the following events (They were the names on my folders :P): elemental halloween brink of reality twisted finale alice & wonderland iron invasion cabbage event Thanks for all the great times TET. <3:

I thought that too at first but it wouldn't make sense since that would mean that large groups of people lost membership on the exact same day (over 82k for the first drop). Also there's no set amount of days between each drop either if it was an automatic update of the highscores once a week.

I'd like to invite you both to look at the number of current members since the beginning of this year here. With the exception of a the weekly drops (players banned most likely) the curves are upward sloping. Sure they are nowhere near the 1M+ members they had a few years ago but that's the effect bots have had on the game. If the current trend continues the member count could very well reach 1M by the end of 2012. Runescape was a dieing game because of the bots, but now that Jagex has won this case, nuked bots, and have made so much progress I don't see it spiralling to a dismal end anytime soon.
