The Hidden Rules of Pking
Most modern day pkers safe. (and whine if you do the same, so "no safing" rule doesn't exist unless you fight with/vs friends) Some of them resort to PJing. (failures) About protect prayers... It is more fun without them, but noone can prevent you from using them. Still as everyone noted, your opponent will most probably run.

First figures coming up: Volatile hatchet VS. Sacred clay (morphic) hatchet: Both tested at level 71 woodcutting; I cut 40 oak logs. Volatile starter XP: 815258 (83999 remainder) Volatile ending XP: 818558 (80699 remaider) 40 oak logs = 3300 XP 1 oak log = 82,5 XP Morphic starter XP: 818558 (80699 remainder) Morphic ending XP: 821558 (77699 remainder) 40 oak logs = 3000 XP 1 oak log = 75 XP Normally, you would get 37,5*40 = 1500XP; 37,5 XP per oak log. So in conclusion, cutting oak logs with: Normal axe - 37,5 XP/log Sacred Clay (Morphic) axe - 75 XP/log Volatile axe - 82,5 XP/log If normal axe gives 1x (100%) XP Then Morphic axe gives 2x (200%) XP And Volatile axe gives 2,2x (220%) XP Volatile axe gives 1,1x (110%) XP compared to morphic axe (if we assume morphic axe gives 1x (100%) XP)

Morphic Tool Question
You can get a morphic tool in one game, unless the other team is very, very powerful. So you should stock up 10 morphic tools in bank + one in your inventory and go mining, mine them all out and go for more SC. I have all stats 50+ and can handle 30k score every game unless the other team imposes the absolute map takeover tactic (see Stealing Creation rant, my reply). So to get 11 tools it would take 11 games (220 mins), or even less (if you get more than 20 reward points). Remember - collect clay, do not mess into a fight. Use ranged armor and a familiar (so you wont need to run to base to deposit). You can erect barriers if you are afraid of thieves, but just process arrows and either deposit em at your familiar or equip them and thieves will not pose a threat.

Stealing Creation Rant
What I hate in sc is combat level 131+s who have 99 thieving, ancients and use the c5 dagger. First of all, they isolate all lvl 5 clay, then extract it all, get 5 class summon, armor, potions, food, stock up (incl familiar inventory) and then a few go to camp near the enemy team base and others search the map and kill every enemy. It's simple: unless you got enough 131+s and sacred clay 5 stuff, 5 players attacking one such player (equipped w class 3 or 4) will at most force him to use blood barrage. After that, he justs slaughters everyone with the dagger (since his accuracy is nearly 95% and he often hits 20-30+). After such tactic is applied, you can just stand at the base or try the retribution (still a waste, because they have sooooo much stocked up).

Java application
If you are using windows and haven't modified your PATH (env variable), you should try %systemroot%\system32\java[Caution: Executable File] And since applets are run in java console version, (as in not javaw[Caution: Executable File]), you should go to your java dir (like c:\program files\java\jre6\), folder \bin\, file java[Caution: Executable File] NOT javac[Caution: Executable File] (java compiler) NOT javaw[Caution: Executable File] (windowed mode, no console)

I'm certain this means 2,2x XP rate (compared to 2x of the morphic tool).

Weekly Poll: What type of guides do you use the most?
1. Both quest and minigame (that's what I've voted for) 2. Skills Others... Maybe checking Getting Around from time to time to look up new means of transportation.

What graphics mode do you use?
High detail resizeable, because: 1) I like multi-tasking (mostly reading stuff on TIP.it) 2) My laptop doesn't support HD fullscreen (I'll send a complaint to HP, since I'm using the newest BIOS/graphic card drivers approved by them (the OEM) and also they are digitally signed for Windows)

Did you accomplish your goals?
I achieved all stats 50+... Crafting these nats up to 50 rc sure was a pain though and I got 50 rc during the second-last hour of the last year.

At what point should a F2P become a P2P?
I would say ASAP. Just think how much easier/faster/more efficient you are getting levels and items. You don't miss the herb and charm drops. A huge amount of quests is also an advantadge. So, as I was saying, as soon as you understand how to play (and you are willing to spend money either on this game or just to test full membership for a month) you should get it.

Should the logout timer be removed?
ahem, when the client is forced to close, the connection is no longer blocking (in I/O terms), so an IO error/exception/violation happens anyway. And these are catchable in most programming libraries/APIs, so client-side log out timer has nothing to do with you being logged out by the server.

Experts advise switching browser after serious IE flaw
Ok, i'm not suggesting everyone should switch to opera, but yes, my dad uses FF and chrome. Because the FF is really slow to load and randomly crashes, he uses it only when he needs to use one of FF's plug-ins. Otherwise he just uses chrome. I am using Opera and yes, I think that it's a really good browser. FF is all about 3rd party customizations.

no skills way to make cash?
If you don't care about exp, npc trading is your bet (the more quests done the more options you have)

No, Lineage II is better than runescape. I can understand if you barely played it, but the PvP in the game is phenomenal. Until you've been in huge clan wars between clans or even alliances you have no room to talk about the game. It's a very korean style MMORPG but it has some of the best PvP out of any MMORPG. Runescape isn't even in the same goddamn league as it (or any other MMORPG worth it's salt for that matter). Barely? I played lotsa time in each chronicle except prelude (C1 was a vast improvement anyway). PvP is phenomenal? Are you joking? In mass pvp, the factors wheter your party/clan wins range this way (from most important to least): 1. Buffs (class-specific, liek mages don't need physical attack bonuses, but there is a scheme for like every class) 2. Overpowered class character count in your group (in C1/2 these were dagger-types, in C3 - mage types (except mage vs archer), in C4 - necro (to a lesser extent) and so on) 3. Strategy and teamwork And one type of korean style 5v5 is nowhere near mass pvp. Best class balance was in C1, since then it's going straight downhill. In theory everything works, though in reality overlord's success in debuffing is equal to winning the main prize in a lottery. Daggertype abilities to quickly KO tanks is what always bothered me, since mages can't do much because with their speed and crits they simply interrupt most spells and they have enough magic def not to suffer from weak mage debuffs like slow. Sorry about trying to compare these too, yes they are very different. But the grade system forces you to grind your life because a level 39 has no chance against level 52; or hardly against an (with C grade) equipped 40. Sure, a level 60 might be a close match to A graded 61, but weren't we talking about mass pvp? If you're low lvl (that means you must wear bad equipment) you will be koed in a second. Archers cannot KO human or elf tanks easily, but they can do that to every other class from a huge distance (when properly buffed). Daggers just need to get close and they can KO any class, doesn't matter if they have thousands of physical defense (with ultimate def for example). Mages are good overall except for lower range and that they die fairly easy (depends). Tanks basically suck. Sure, human tank types are probably the best and have some good skills. Dwarves are the same as a support class in pvp... Sure, in a mass destroyer may be good, but mainly the side that has the most daggers+mages+archers and warcryers/overlords for mass buffing, a few swses/bds (one for each party) would clearly win against a balanced side with all classes (you don't need to include dwarves here) like tanks, orcs, mages, buffer's/healers, archers and daggers. Unless it was a mass pvp and the first side would find itself outnumbered 1:3. Phenomenal? When archers are hard to train at later levels because of the p. Def increases and when a dagger can make more money than a warsmith (ok, with bh you can make much)?

Turning 1mil into 40mil
If you are smart and can hi-alch you know that there are items that people, who do not know what I know sell for a price that gives profit when bought along with a nature rune and hi-alched. So just invest all your cash in these items, alch em, repeat. You'll get truckload of experience (profit isn't that great, like 50 gp per item that could cost anywhere in 2k-200k range) doing this method and lose nothing. Oh and if you have to wait for those items, you can just do something that directly involves your moneymaking scheme. Just my two cents.

Lineage 2 is NOT a good enjoyable game (except graphics, which are litterally superb (except pseudo-flat sky)). The main goal there is to kill. Nothing much of a gameplay if you ask me, RS has better gameplay than L2. At least you aren't forced to kill in RS. I'm really looking forward to this game, seems a game for professionals, not some noobs who are the vast majority of MMORPG players (ok there are exceptions, like meridian59, UO and some more that I can't remember have way better communities). It's hard to say if it is an exact competition to WoW. They're just too different. And the 1hitkill from the back + all stuff lost brings this game to a whole new level. I still wonder what the ~30 dev team would do with RWT and scamming, which, I'm afraid will skyrocket after release.
