: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.

It looks less ergonomic than it really is. The right side is contoured so that your ring finger rests in the contour and your pinky wraps around the side. The buttons are easily hit with my thumb and the only ones I really have to try to hit are 10-11-12. The scroll wheel is nice and the wheel, numbers, and razer logo are backlit blue. The software you download includes macro recording and dpi up to 5600. I've always owned logitech but I'm starting to like this product. The best part about it all is the cord, I've hated corded mice for one reason and that's tangling and the cord getting bunched up and in the way. Razer's cords are braided and do not tangle. I guess the pictures just don't do it justice then, especially since it has braided cords which I really wish would become a standard for a lot of wired tech.

I had the same feeling too, knowing the full picture makes you feel less supportive of Megaupload & co although I wish the government did something else rather than such drastic measures. This guy is really an idiot, I suppose these so called Internet thieves include the likes of Google, Firefox, and Wikipedia, all whom have main offices that are situated in the US. :rolleyes:

This is great news, and I have little to no sympathy for the bot owners, especially if they had made enough to live in the house posted on the second page. Hopefully now this has been won Jagex can start focusing on other issues and put their money into more content, etc.

Simple yet extremely useful. It shouldn't be too hard for Jagex to implement either I would think. What do you mean by private though; not sharing your active status? Definitely support this. :thumbup:

I personally use a Logitech MX518. It's pretty much just a slightly different style of the G500 without the weights option/missing two of the programmable buttons but it's really comfortable. The Razer Naga looks kind of uncomfortable to use, but it might just be something that you have to get used to over time.

You should use the same colour blue as the the Tip.it Forum theme/the new beta site for the background. :thumbup: Also save as .PNG

Wasn't willing to pay the subscription cost when it first came out but now that it's free to play I'll definitely be giving it a try. :thumbup: It looks pretty fun despite the bad reviews it got.

I think the picture needs to be an actual screenshot from the game's equipment screen interface. Your pixel art, while it looks awesome, might not fit in with all the other images. Of course it's up to Hedgehog whether he strictly wants ingame characters or not.

Nice to see this being done again! :D Tif name: Gandorf61 Runescape Name: Gandorf61 Picture: Url: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/5827/gandorf61.png

I've moved this to General Guides as it's a guide for players to train magic. Welcome to Tip.it as well! :)

Wasn't aware of the server cost which might be a huge problem. Also from looking at the rules default match day is a Monday which wouldn't work very well for me. :/

I wouldn't mind playing if I'm able to get on during the time. Preference would be Demo > Pyro > Engi

Idea of the year here. :thumbup: Honestly people will always find a way to gamble though so changing this is kind of pointless.

Well there's always a chance that he left his phone at home and hadn't picked it up since he got back home! :P

Bad semester for my textbook costs, 3 textbooks set me back $360 since two of them were custom editions for the class and cost $160 each. Would have had to spend another $160 but my fourth textbook was the same one I used the previous semester for discrete math so I get to reuse it again for discrete math II luckily. Previous semester I bought them all off of amazon but it really isn't too much cheaper than my University's bookstore, especially if I'm able to get them used from the bookstore. Nice thing is I can also sell all my textbooks back for 50% of the new price which saves quite a bit of money and I don't have to worry about finding someone to buy them or ship them anywhere. Last semester I bought a used book for $60, and resold it to the bookstore for $40 at the end of the semester which was 50% of the new price so I only ended up being out $20 for that book. I just hate it when textbooks come with online components that will be used for assignments. For example my java textbook this semester has that so I'm pretty much forced to buy it even though there's tons of other resources available to learn from. :/ Does chegg.com ship to Canada at all or is it US based only?

It's to give it a risk factor so that you actually lose something of worth if you die while in combat or pking. If it was free then all pkers would have a pretty good cape that they wouldn't care if they lost of not.

I really enjoyed Blyaunte's "Understanding Efficiency", it was refreshing to have a different perspective that included efficiency for the sake of having more time for fun things. While I personally would choose a slower method of training where I could do other things like watch a movie at the same time, when a player asks for help they don't need an opinion on how fun something is. This is what really hits the point home, help and advice needs to be a place where the best methods are shared, separate from your personal opinion on what is most enjoyable. Fun is a variable depending on the player, statistics and game knowledge is fact that should be the basis for offering advice.

That's not a bad idea. Only downfall with that is you'd all have to be able to reach the same floor level to get the most experience as well. Why exactly? Those with lower levels can just stop a floor or two earlier - there's not much time lost if you have to check two doors instead of one on the the last floor. If it's only a floor or two in difference then yeah I guess you'd be right. It would only be a problem if there were huge differences in the floors one can reach but most people will be level 70+ anyways so I guess it wouldn't matter.

Not quite. Someone else might slow down on their experience gains. In which case, Magebank becomes no longer in last place on the now P2P-only highscores list. The best approach would be to start from the highscores front page, just simply jump to whatever the last page is, and then check for the last rank number listed, not the name at that rank. As I type this, 32052 pages, and a final rank number of 705138 are listed on the highscores. Any name could be in that last slot, and at any given time. But, it won't always be the same person, that's pretty much for certain. :geek: ~D. V. "Here's the missing puzzle piece, explained in a little detail..." Devnull You're missing the fact that Magebank and P H A T are both users with 9hp accounts that wont be levelling any skills to keep a "pure account". So yes while it may be inaccurate to plus or minus a few players, it's pretty much a guarantee that they will stay at the lowest rank considering the only way they will be bumped up is if another 9hp account gets members again without levels in any skill. I know for a fact that P H A T was at the bottom of the highscores since it went P2P and only recently got bumped because Magebank subscribed. So yes, while not perfect, it would be a very close representation by just tracking one or both of their ranks. (So yeah I support some sort of way of tracking this as it would be interesting information to look at) Yes you could track them on the assumption they might remain the last place, but its still far more logical to just track the last entry on the last page which is 100% definitely the final place. And overall I still stand by whats the point? It's gonna creep back up to the full 1million entries limiter and then will remain there as a backlog of people just too low to get on will build up and be instantly filling any slots for quitters. Yes pulling the rank of the last person on the last page would be the most precise but just tracking Magebank is an easy alternative if needed. Also I believe the highscores was changed to accommodate 2 million players ages ago, and unless this has been changed it's very unlikely that the member count will pass this number. The point of doing this is the same as tracking one's stats, the current number of players online, or any other statistic, it's to collect data which would be interesting to look at.

Cave Story+ and Bit. Trip Runner are my favourites at the moment. There's just something about Cave Story that makes it really fun to play for an 8bit/16bit gameplay style game. It's simple but the story has been pretty good so far.
