Could it be assumed, then, that Pulse Cores probably won't work on DXPW?

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Meteorite_chunk "A strange remnant that has crashed from above. I can use it to hurt Tuska if I take it there." In that exact same article you linked to, it very clearly states that it only awards exp. While it might hurt her lore-wise, it does not contribute to your World Event score. Where does it explicitly state that it doesn't contribute to the World Event score? "...where it can be exchanged for experience in a skill of your choice equal to half the experience provided by a regular jack of trades aura reward book." This is simply letting players know that it gives XP, it's not claiming that it's the only reward from turning them in.

till everyone gets all rewards before event ends and she owns us again Oh yeah, true. I forget that some (probably most people actually, especially P2P) play for the rewards and not the lamps.

How many of the maxed players went on to get trimmed completionist? Also I'd be interested in a sort of "where are they now?" thing - what have each of them been doing since maxing? Playing on other accounts, OSRS, merchanting/bossing for future skills, quit (just quit, quit and plan to come back when another skill comes out, quit for another game), etc.?

They actually did a pretty good job of balancing Tuska's health. Next week we'll go back to winning easily (because of multiple stabs) if they don't do another balance though.

Okay, but Mod Deg also said this on Twitter: So which is it? Doesn't matter, it is boring either, so non-active spine standing while doing other stuff is the way to do this imo... In other news... I just did the event on my own, and it was much easier... so the best advice to get 100% is to try to go in on your own? For certain players (e.g. ironman skillers) that rely on lamps to train certain skills, it's pretty important to know how to min-max it as points are vital. Personally I prefer going on my own as well. You can easily do this by waiting a few minutes, after everyone else has already left; you can jump across and join a game (with no time penalty) anywhere from :00 to :20.

Are you sure ? Can I still make a new character there ? You can't right now (and probably never will be able to). They haven't opened up access to it since 2011. See this: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Runescape_classic#Re-release

Was 2k days his ultimate goal that he posted about a few years ago? I remember him saying that his goal wasn't to max, but something like he might end up doing it in the process. I assumed it didn't have to do with in-game time, though, as I believe S Diamant Y had just been awarded the Guinness World Record for that and I thought he said that it wasn't his goal to beat that, but maybe I misunderstood.

You can get like a massive 20k-30k Summoning xp/hr by hatching them, lol :p

They did just that in the past - opened up access to RSC for new accounts on separate servers. They haven't done it in a few years, though.

I definitely prefer gravestones over paying that much just to get my items back (that I could get for free with gravestones). If they want to change anything, just make the timer only count down when you're actually in game.

Ironman just became slightly more bearable. (Assuming this works how I think it does.)

Nub question: After I get all the rewards from Hati, Sköll, and Eir, I don't need to return and do the stuff again the next day, right? This is just an event you do once and you're done?

I like the idea, but feel that your suggestion uses way too many unneeded denominations that would be really confusing. A single one at either 10K (raising it to 21T) or 100K (raising it to 214T) would suffice.

I think I know the program you're talking about. I first found it because of its embedded video feature (on a reddit topic), but the xp tracking was what really made me download it (though I haven't yet installed it). When the clock first came out that's what I assumed it was going to be actually, and was really disappointed that it wasn't. An official xp/hr tracker would be so amazing, I'm pretty sure half of my Google searches are xp/hr math formulas.

During my high school summers I would always do 40 hours ingame, 12 hours sleep. It was a really weird experience as I constantly flipped between sleeping during the nighttime and daytime, but apparently it worked since I kept doing it each year. Occasionally I pushed into the 50-60s, usually when it came time for me to sleep and I didn't feel like doing it during the hot daytime - those were probably my maxes for RuneScape. (The absolute max I've done, and I've actually done it a few times sadly, is close to six days for school but I wasn't playing RuneScape at the time. Every time that's happened has been a terribly depressing existence, really hope I never have to do that again.) The first 24 hours is always the hardest, after that you're golden. After 36 I personally start feeling really warm and energetic (to the point of getting this overwhelming urge to go for runs). With that said, it's been about 3 years since I've been able to pull off those kinds of hours. My sleeping habits have completely changed after quitting for a year and then following by just cutting my playtime hours, now I average about 10-12 hours awake and 12-14 asleep.

Grats to AlmostLost (So much for Suomi's rank 7 I guess)

The clock will be really useful for events/reset (especially around daily saving time transitions), but... Edit Mode freaking sucks. Why can't this be moved around without Edit Mode? The edges of the box don't even align with the edges of the actual clock (and it randomly moves itself when you click "save" anyway...), so it's a bunch of frustrating guess work trying to get it positioned with other boxes. Wish you could toggle off the : ticker. Really hope they add a split timer to it in the future so we can time things, it would be one of my most favorite updates ever by far.

So Inventor is happening again?

You mean the fact that you can see Rimmington? Yep. I even had to check 07's map to make sure that they didn't outright move all of Karamja closer to the mainland. Nope, it's always been that close, the vast ocean that I remember is more like a wide river.

Not sure when this was updated. Feels so weird.

Like most people have said, I just want them to fix/improve what already exists before they add anything else (which will likely be half-baked anyway). Fix audio glitches. Skill reworks (especially Smithing and Construction). Improve the UI that basically hasn't been touched since its release, add more options (if they let us close and resize everything I would be so happy). Minigame revival (and stop hiding some of them in that hole at Falador). The Group system doesn't work correctly in F2P, that could help (though maybe it's too late). No more time-based holiday events... please.... And for Jagex to stop using their Sadim touch on new games and focus on RS for at least a year. The only exception is that I would love to have at least one more World Event again.

You can't turn in your snowballs for presents anymore. You can only get gp now (enchanted snow is 10 gp each, snowballs are 10k each). I held onto about 15 snowballs (across a few accounts) in preparation for this week, unaware that the event ended on the 16th... all to waste :( I wish that you could have gotten lamps (even the small ones) instead of gp.
