It's somewhat weak to crush is all.

We've seen a year of the investor's 35% interest influence on Runescape. From now on we'll see the investors 55% interest influence. Whether things will actually change or not remains to be seen. All we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Published War of Legends and released and abandoned Funorb*. Fixed.

It depends on the Label, Publishing house, etc, and what kind of contracts they have. One particular favorite artist of mine was lucky enough to take full control over their releases in exchange for a lower cut of their record sales.

The name doesnt imply anything of the sorts.Financing - getting money from somewhere to do shit.Investing - giving money to someone to do shit or using the money to do some shit yourself and getting some profit out of it.There is no longterm implied in investing It would be one thing if they were simply investing. However, these same investors are on Jagex's Board of Directors, which does imply and enable a bit more.

Absolutely nothing? Right when these investors stepped in early last year is when we started to see the introduction of the Refer a Friend, Loyalty Points, in-game items w/game card stuff, etc... I don't have any experience in the gaming business but I do know something as a recording artist, and that is the people who finance you (your board of directors, your publishing house, your record label) have the final say. If your music isn't poppy enough, isn't metal enough, upbeat enough, etc... guess what? Your music is going to be poppy'er or more upbeat or whatever they want. Control over the direction of your art doesn't just mean something, it means everything.

"Jagex is trading up the Union Jack for the Stars and Stripes, as controlling interest in the studio has changed hands to a US firm. Insight Venture Brothers, a venture capital firm from the US, completed a deal last year to increase its ownership to 55% of the UK-based company. Previously, the firm had 35% interest in Jagex. Now that the scales have tipped to the new ownership, this technically makes Jagex a US-controlled company and has US investors leading its board of directors. While revenues were up 2% for Jagex in 2011, both operating and net profits were significantly down from the previous financial year. Jagex is a major player in the MMO free-to-play market, with RuneScape, Transformers Universe, and 8Realms as part of its project portfilio. Develop reports that the controlling interest was made possible by Jagex co-founder Andrew Gower selling off his ownership claims to the firm for $115.65 million. As part of the deal, Jagex paid $3.85 million in expenses. The studio will remain in Cambridge while its controlling firm is in NYC."

I don't know your stats but... Cooked sweetcorn heals 10% + 10 of a player's max lifepoints up to 100 points just by itself. For example, if a player has 730 maximum lifepoints, it will heal 83. Atm, 1 sweetcorn costs 6 coins. If you farm, 1 sweetcorn seed costs 1 coin. 1 COIN!! 3 seeds will get you anywhere between 5 (if it lives) to around 50 or more sweetcorn. An outrageously cheap additional cushion food for anyone with decent defense/armour using the more traditional healing methods such as Uni, Bunyip, EE, Soul Split, etc.

Not sure if i'm missing something but, the qfc in the op doesn't work for me?

Hm, I suppose it's a bit off topic, but how much would you say the Chaotic weapons would be if they were tradeable?

I loled irl after looking at how the armor is actually going to look. :thumbdown: The actual designers of the in game clothing are CLEARLY different than the concept artists. They're so bad in fact, that they can't even imitate what the concept art looks like when there's a picture right there. :lol: Armor looks horrible rofl0l. That's a bit harsh I think . It seems to match the concept art fairly well to me. The main difference I can see is it doesn't have the same lighting on it, but light refletcing in a dynamic 3D environment, is totally different to drawing light reflecting of something in a static 2D picture. It depends on their being an apporpriate light source placed in the game world and a game engine which can figure out what to do with that light - rather than anything to do with the modelling of the set of armour. Besides that there's one or two little details missing from the ingame armour, but minor enough that I only found them after studying both pictures for a while. I agree, the light in the second picture isn't too flattering, as opposed to the concept, where it's orientated for the purpose of looking downright epic. I don't think the colours are vivid enough either, the game needs to use darker blacks to accent the coloured bits. What's funny/sad/pathetic is that we actually HAVE darker shades of black! In tons of places! The awesome concept drawing's blacks are dark as night, then they go and make the armour look dark grey-green. :wall: I read that it did get shade it a bit darker, but I'm a bit weary about what they mean by "a bit". It's likely not enough still.

Though I don't know which monsters dropped it, I also got rune arrows, a 3-dose super attack potion and 2 noted crossbow strings. :thumbsup:

Rock on, Friendyboy!

The new armor/weapon sets aren't the only rewards. Sure, they may only last for a short time, but in that amount of time you can earn a great deal of money if you're smart. As shown earlier in the thread, there's been a dragon full helm drop. The armors could give you a very strong edge against the people you fight, hence, more possible money made. In great amounts no less.

I know Lee was never a PK'er but maybe the future pvp updates will interest in him in some indirect way. Someone pass the news on to Lee if someone hasn't already. Honestly, I just want to meet him. Just once. Edit: Sorry Lee, I accidentally made a new page, which ruined your title.... #-o

First off, support. Completely. Thank you for your mind, your effort, and your time. The whole Rs community will benefit from it, as well as onlookers.

This is actually not a glitch and has been around since the beginning of RS. The reason is: If you're wielding a weapon in RS, you'll always wield it in the right hand, and since bows are not shot while both hands are on the weapon, unlike melee weapons, the attack animation must include the shield hand for drawing back the bow. The bow simply cannot be held in the shield hand. That's why when you're just wielding a bow and not using it, it's held in the right (weapon) hand, and the attack animation has to go in conjunction: bow in the right hand, draw back with the left.

Well, all of this sounds really great, but I'm especially concerned about 1 little thing. The bank tabs. I love treasure trails. Like, seriously. I have 2 of every emote item you need for lvl 3 clues all in 1 area in my bank, but now, if bank tabs aren't an option, they'll all be split up into armour, weapons, jewelery and so on... Seeing as how they won't be too hard to find because of the tabs and search features it's not too big of a deal, but will make getting emote items slightly annoying for me. Oh, and Achievement Diary ftw! 1 piece closer to my dream of wearing Full Achievement!!! Edit: Thanks! I checked back to the BTS to make sure and you're right! Quote from BTS: "This will allow you to order your bank according to categories that you define" yes!

Way coolness. Organized, thorough, and informative. If every guide was like this... We'd all be millionaires!

Dude... how the heck are you!??! I've been wondering about you all the time. There was a link or something to a blog, but that didn't work by the time I reached it. AIM or something.

Hey there, Alpha. So, my first ever post in tip-it. Yeah, i'm here thanks to this guy. Keep up all the good work, This guy is very dedicated people. Let me know how to get a stat sig of my own.
