Runescape fails as a business...
Yeah, the customer support is horrid, but the only problem I've had was when I unsubscribed my old pure, it didn't become unsubscribed and it sucked up about $15 before I noticed. I ended up having to send multiple messages, and I attemped to unsubscribed several times before it finally canceled. -.-

Weird name? Why not a normal name?
They want to be different. With a string of random numbers and letters. And then another random string of numbers because the name is already taken. :| Please note, I'm referring to the 'bad' 'original' names, not real original names. (As for my name, well, when I was a bit younger back in early '03, I asked myself "What sounds like a cool name for your character?". "Oh, taken. I guess that makes sense." "Now whats your favorite number?" "Oh, taken, okay..." Repeat that process for 'Reaper' ---> 'Reaper88888' and you get my name... The worst part? Only one, maybe two of those accounts are ranked, and none of them have changed since I checked them in ~2005. ) Guess I kinda ran on there... Needless to say, I've named a few newer accounts with original names. (Salted Kill [old pure], Soylent Pet [new account]) :-#

jagex on a soap box about global warming *found after loss*
Good. This just makes me like them a little bit more. Its nice to see that they are willing to make statements about global issues, so cheers for them. :thumbsup: And I don't care if you're on the knife's edge of the two main GW opinions. Live and let live, eh? For the most part... As long as you aren't of the 'cl1mate ch4nge aRe a natral ting nd u are a teroristt 4 not wursheping teh gov3rNmet n' driv1n a humer' school, I really don't care.. : Oh, and as to my views... Global warming is proven fact. The newspapers and news channels are run by pr firms working for the government and major companies, I don't listen to them. Most of the world is secretly controlled by international banking carte.... Wait, wrong thread. But don't listen to me, every other person has their own deeply ingrained beliefs and viewpoints, some of which undoubtly are telling them that I'm a damn commie liberal treehugging far-left whacko terrorist.* Good. I like being all that more than being ignorant. *Anyone who DOESN'T think this feel free to ignore this statement

mage or Range?
Well, magic is by it's very nature more useful in general, and, with few exceptions, is more effective against other players. However, range is much better for most monsters, is much less expensive. ( Unless you use all dragon arrows and onyx/dstone bolts.. For everything. ) Magic is often more fun, though.. :| Tbh, its a matter of personal preferance. I <3 range.. :D

Change to Offence Appeals
Wow, it looks like their customer support is finally approaching 'Subaverage'! Now they just need to give all mods, J and player, senses of humor... I got temp banned from the RSOF and a forum strike because... I made a joking statement that had one word starred out. And was in no way offensive to other players. Just bland, mild sarcasm. Boy, it sure is a good thing I don't actually need to USE the RSOF.. :roll: Still not a single bm though... I guess that the report reviewers ( or auto-scan machine, whatever your preference is ) at least understand that chair duping isn't exactly as dangerous or abusive as, say, phat duping... Or POH scamming.. Oh well, I'll just stick to the policy of not talking, trading, or skillassisting anyone I haven't been friends with for years, and not interacting with anyone who IS my friend unless there are no other players on the map. It seems to be working so far... :lol: But the wording for the 'Red' zone sounds kinda creepy, y'know...

Lumbridge Achievment Diaries
I think the lummy ones are 'Very Easy', 'Easy' and 'Medium'.. :-# Anyways, probably stuff like "Kill a chicken", "Cut down a tree", "Sell something to the general store" and the like..

New Runescape Banner Hint
If it IS an achievement cape, it'll almost certainly be the Music cape. \ Now, in my opinion, if there IS a major update involving shipbuilding, sailing, ect, it would almost certainly become the second main branch of Construction; you build houses and furnature, and you build ships and equipment. And then again the mods could just be messing with our heads.. #-o

The Great Tip Pic of 2008- OLD
Still too many problems with HD. Stick with old graphics, and use the full HD, for either a special '08 or the '09 pic. Assuming that it'll be out of the beta and into full release by then... :-# I'll post a pic after I finish up this slayer assignment..

Big move!!! come in for more info (Small things thread..)
To be able to bring two ropes to the Waterfall dungeon and leave them there permanently, so that you don't have to bring one every time you go.

do u like pures or not?
I'm fine with them. Let people do whatever they want. On another note, I loved it when they mistook me in my worthless gear for an easy target. Free d'hide and scims. ^.^ I can't count the number of times I've been called a 'noob', 'def noob', ect when they can't (couldn't, I should say.. I guess..) hit through decent defense.. :D

Desert Treasure Overrated?
It is fairly easy when you think about it, I never fell, and it only took about 25k worth of food, potions and runes for me to beat it. And rushing is practically worthless.. :| Train on modern until you can burst if you really want to use ancients. Personally, I consider it a huge waste of cash.. But then, I'm not stinking rich.

Fist Of Guthix - Why Do People Whine So Much About It??
This will always happen when hyperactive children meet intelligent tactics. Just sit back and laugh.

What is the use of Quikchat only worlds?
Holding pens for the children. Hopefully, they will later be converted into Soylent Green manufactories.

9 July 2008 - Jagex Store and RuneScape Novel
It will probably sell well among the... *ahem*... younger.. generation of players, but as for me, I'm sticking with Heinlein, Asimov and Herbert. And honestly, the 'plot' sounds like something out of a c-rate, low budget horror flick...

Upcoming Bank Update
My 'useless junk that I think I might need someday' tab, then my 'old quest junk that I don't want to toss' tab.. Heheh...

Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
Yeah, part of that is probably from people buying accounts, but part of it is from people inflating their levels with summoning... #-o Offtopic: I finally got all that rubbish with my pw fixed, and I'm back.. :D ....Buuuuut.. I lost all my old screenys and stuff.. :evil: Edits: Actually, I've got an old floppy with a ton of stuff on it.. And I really need to make a new sig or something... and fix my avvy..

RuneScape Censor - Out of Hand?
In the end, it should fall on the parents to keep their children 'safe', not the company. It's absurd that mature players who didn't lie while creating their accounts should be punished because others did. (I'm also really sick of having chunks of normal conversations being censored for no reason at all.. :-w ) Oh well, it doesn't look like anythings going to change in the near future, we've just got to live with it.

melee training
Chaos Druids. They are in the NE corner of Taverly dungeon, and they drop herbs almost every time. Ranarrs are the best to collect here, but there are also drop of mith bolts and other good herbs. They are only ~13 cb with 20hp and are very easy to kill. You don't need any food, but you might want to bank when you have a full inv of ranarrs.

Know a way to make money with no skills? Post it here!
I think this is mems only, but if you talk to the Wise Old Man (with the blue phat) in his house in Draynor, he will give you simple tasks; getting him a few bronze daggers or pieces of rope, for example, which he rewards with exp and/or gp. I don't really remember much about it tbh..

looking for tips
120+ combat with a combination of 85+ def and very good* range, str, and att to even think about soloing the KQ. As for dag kings, prolly 85+ def and very good* str and attack to solo the range one. Oh, and 60+ prayer. You also need plenty^ of cash to buy equipment and supplies. It's better to join a team tbh. * = 90+ ^ = 12m+

What do you expect from the upcoming pking changes?
The wildy is gone for good. They are, however, developing a single-way pking minigame.
-
Why didn't Jagex just remove skilling?
Because only ~10-15% of the RS population pked, and pking can be turned into minigames. 100% of the RS population has gained at least 1 exp point outside of tut island. And can you make a minigame for skills? More precisely, if RS were an arch, then skills would be the keystone that holds the whole thing together, while pking would be a few strands of ivy growing across the archway. Get it?

Has RuneScape become a grindfest?
It's always been a grindfest. The only reason you don't notice until you're fairly experienced is that until yo hit 90-100 cb, you still have plenty to do besides level skills. Skills also become more difficult to level as you go on; 90 att is much harder to get from 89 than 60 attack is from 59. It's much easier for me to get dragged into powerleveling on for 4 hours now than it was when I was a newbie back in '03, I don't have much else to do.

Something about Bounty Hunter.
Thats why I'm waiting for the single-way 'pking' minigame to come out. :| My first 25 seconds in there was basically me chasing my target, then being killed by a clan. Oh joy.
