Everyone who helped did an amazing job on the new site! It's nice to finally see it finally ready for an open beta after all the years of hard work put into it. :thumbsup:
-
A big welcome to everyone who's just recently registered! :)
I know this is off topic, but is the pre-IPB introduce yourself thread archived anywhere?
I believe it's been moved to a hidden archive. Was there a particular reason you needed it? I might be able to move it back to General Discussion temporarily.

You'd also probably want a DVD/CD Drive like this one and you'll need a computer case as well. (You could probably go with a cheaper case if you want to stick closer to your budget)

*Presses button*
Did it work?
*Locked*
Yep!
(Not really any need for this to be open)
-
^ See above post/this topic here for more information on submitting an article. :thumbup:
Anyways locking this as it doesn't really have any discussion value, you can PM an editorial panel member or admin if you need more information about the Times.

Well, chocolate does contain theobromine, a compound very closely related to caffeine. Iirc the difference is one active group (methyl vs NH
-group.) [/chem nerd]
Does too! :PThe very small amount of caffeine found in cocoa may also be a concern, though a typical eight ounce cup of hot chocolate contains nine milligrams of caffeine, while an eight ounce cup of coffee may contain up to 133 milligrams depending on the brand.Just not a lot :-w
I stand corrected then. :P
-
That Grande hot chocolate with no whipped cream gave me the caffeine I needed
Hot chocolate doesn't have caffeine. :P
Really enjoyed the Runefest article, the pictures made me wish I was there!

You'll need a graphics card, something like a GTX 460 to run games on mid-high detail.
For the Windows 7 disc you can only install it on one computer so you'd need another copy. Check to see if your school is part of the MSDNAA, if so you can get a copy of Windows 7 professional for free.
If you're really constrained to a $500 budget then forget the SSD as your money would be better spent on a decent graphics card + CPU. Also just to note flooding in Thailand is causing a hardrive shortage so you're going to be looking at paying more than usual if you buy now. For example I bought this drive a year ago for $88, it's $220 right now. Just keep that it mind.

Music Sample for the twitter teaser this week:
I'm guessing this means we have a quest coming up next week. :thumbup:

One thing that you could add is the option not to plunder on world 64 but instead have a small group of friends or just people with the same interest plundering together. This mostly eliminates the changing doors and speeds up trips a bit. You will just have to agree on which method for banking you will use to keep nobody waiting.
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.
-
I see the point of keeping it just so we have a place for people to post but honestly I agree that for the most part it is useless.
Let's get a few more responses and if the other moderators/users agree we can unsticky it.
-
Congratulations! Both of you did an amazing job. :)
-
Moving this to Forum Updates & Suggestions. I'm having this problem as well, I'm sure a tech Admin will be able to fix it when they have a chance.
-
Please just use the Today topic anyways, it's redundant having two topics that people are going to post pretty much the same things on. Thanks!

I think we try to look past old offenses the majority of the time so adding a standard procedure of ignoring offenses older than 2 years wouldn't be that much of a change imo. Basically what Kimberly has said is more or less my thoughts as well.
-
Thanks! :)

I was thinking, even though Jagex is going to take a financial hit from this, if this fix really can permanently stop botters then a lot of resources (legal, anti-bot teams, account recovery teams) they've been putting towards this can now be used elsewhere. The number of servers could also be cut down which could save some money. I think a large majority of bots were F2P anyways so Jagex isn't really losing money over them leaving; in fact they'd save the money that was being used to host servers which basically only contained bots.
If they market it well enough a lot of old players might come back after seeing how things have changed.

Could we get the list of recently updated blogs added back to the Additional Content sidepane? I feel like it was one of the main sources of traffic to user's blogs and would be handy to have back there. :thumbup:
-
Something to consider. With bots not operational, do you think RWT companies will be more aggressive with hijacking accounts?
I'd assume so. Hijacking accounts and botting are substitutes to each other when dealing with real world trading. If the cost of botting goes up it would be more profitable for these companies to just go after player accounts. Of course if players were smart they'd just tighten up their security and we wouldn't have to worry about this at all.
-
They're definitely banning bots, many of my stats have jumped in the past few hours, including 99 fishing:
I know it's probably still early to be certain but so far Jagex seems to have been somewhat successful. :thumbup:
-
Have you tried doing a hard refresh? I don't think I'm having any problems seeing your updated picture.
-
Frankly, I find the timing of this whole thing to be somewhat circumspect, at best. Awfully convenient that this bold move of bot removal is going to happen a mere few days prior to Runefest, isn't it? :rolleyes:
I actually think they planned it to be this way for a few months now. I'm sure they only added that bot busting insider session because they realized that they could get this bot fix out in time for Runefest. They probably wanted to have a session to finally be able to boast that they solved the problem. (Assuming this fix is successful)
-
Bonuses for all?
What about those of us with work/school?
Exactly my thoughts, I work and have midterms everyday next week so I won't have a chance to participate in anything. :/
If this bot nuking strategy works though then that's all that really matters though, no need for all the fancy events.

Looks like Halloween is coming to Runescape. :thumbup:
It will be interesting to actually visit a citadel as well since I haven't been in one yet.

So the first full length trailer was released earlier today and I have to say it looks absolutely amazing. :thumbup:
I loved the books, and from the looks of the trailer they hit a lot of the characters bang on and captured the book perfectly. Hopefully the full movie will be just as great as the trailer is making it seem.

Anyone else excited for this film?
