[What is this runescape EOC and runescape 07 business? Is it worth coming back?]

Well, thanks guys for the info.

 

I launched it up and played around with it for a bit and honestly, I hate it. I liked that runescape was different from other games in that it didnt have moves or hotkeys or combos and stuff. Now that jagex just completely scrapped everything I knew about the combat system, I dont want to have to re-learn everything and get the perfect combos for pvp/pvm.

 

Also, its kind of disappointing how 1 for 1 for 1 the combat triangle is now, yeah it sucked that melee dominated everything else basically but it was fun to hybrid and be unexpected. Now its just a bit dull.

 

I might try 07 if I can sell out my EOC bank and buy a pin somewhere with the gp.

 

It was fun when I played. :)

 

EDIT: Just gave away all my f2p bank to some randoms on hyt chat. only 12m worth lol

[Wolf whistle listed as F2P]

I believe Wolf Whistle was converted to a F2P quest when they gave F2P access to Burthorpe and Taverley. F2P also can train the member skills up to level 5 now.

 

what the heck. yeah just logged in I guess lots of stuff changed

[Wolf whistle listed as F2P]

Under "P2P?", wolf whistle is listed as "No"

 

Im pretty sure this is wrong unless it is some wierd RS glitch.

[What is this runescape EOC and runescape 07 business? Is it worth coming back?]

I have been poking around runescape lately after noticing people trading "RS07 Gold" or "RS EOC gold" for tf2 items (I have been in the trading scene of Team Fortress 2)

 

I stopped playing rs abruptly over a year ago because of how complicated it had gotten. It wasnt fun anymore, you had to do 30-60 min. of farm runs/mtk/stuff before ever actually playing, and then after that you had to do hours of quests/tasks to access the best tele/gear/ecto/pineapple runs. It was just getting really boring really fast.

 

Well recently I see rs EOC and rs07 and I naturally am curious what is going on.

 

From what I gather without actually launching rs again is that EOC is a rework of the combat system that makes RS more like modern mmorpgs with hotkeys and moves instead of the old back and forth fighting. This doesnt really appeal to me actaully. What is more interesting is rs07, which appears to be runescape from 2007 which is actually more interesting.

 

What I want to know from experienced players who have played since 06,07,08 is: Should I come back and take a look at things? Is EOC really just like any other mmorpg now? Is rs07 have a good player base? Is it p2p only or can f2p play '07? Is eoc and 07 linked in anyway? (Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just really dont want to actually launch RS yet)

 

Another question I want to ask is has there been any update to help the transition from P2P > F2P. When I quit, I was in the middle of a P2P quest and have my inventory full of members stuff, so if I start up eoc as a f2p will all that stuff ahve to be dropped or will it be in the bank and I can just work with a full bank.

[To Bogrog or to GE]

I know its unofficially forbidden to use a wiki link here but here goes any way

 

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_pouches

 

The values in parentheses is the GE price and the value at the end is the shard swap value

[Something stackable i can train with anywhere (like alching)]

Can't train anywhere, but you can train farming by summoning a compost mound and using its special scroll thingywhatever to fill up a bin that you can then empty.

That is a very good idea

 

Here are some more ive come up with.

 

Fill your invo and a BOB with cheese wheels and cut them (cooking xp)

 

Fill a gem bag with saphires/emeralds, cut them, and then alch/drop the results (Expensive crafting xp) OR cut diamonds/rubys and make bolt tips

 

Team up with someone to Get cbt xp on there familiars (both come with an invo of pouches and just kill each others follower)

[Something stackable i can train with anywhere (like alching)]

For summoning you could do fruit bats and make a little $$

[Yews vs Eucalyptus]

Settle down folks.

 

You would be MUCH better off cutting teaks (or vines if you want something to AFK) and burning some other log separately like maples/yews. Both yews and euc are horribly slow xp

[F2p Ranged training?]

Addy arrows are not worth using if you're F2P unless you're some sort of mercher, there simply isn't a way to make good money that justifies using them. With the bots dead, maybe f2p will finally get a little more profitable though (Although i imagine addy bars/arrowtips/arrows are also going to shoot up in price too...)

Use addy arrows at moss giants on crandor (if you have done part of D'slayer) or edgeville hills, then ice giants and/or karma volcano lessers. Spending an hour getting the money needed for addys is not that hard as long as you pick up the big piles.

[Need someone to help me get a screenshot]

http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_tools&build if you just need the stats. This one, the slots are vertically arranged.

 

http://www.runehq.com/guide.php?type=calculator&id=0762 if you want it to look more like the equipment screen. The list is in between the stats and the slots on this.

That rhq thing is utter crap it hasnt been updated in over a year.

 

Just buy the stuff yourself? Or is it too expensive. Otherwise just wait until you come across someone with it and willing to help.

[F2p Ranged training?]

You might as well use adamant arrows since they are not that expensive. Just make sure to pick up the big piles

[Jagex Is Not Done Yet With Its Anti-Bot Efforts]

Like others have said, The grind of rs is what makes it RS and not like any other mmo on the market. I hope that they keep it the way it is and not mess it up too much.

[25-Oct-2011 - Bot-Nuking Day: Making RuneScape Fairer and More Fun!]

I predict that there will be a drop in the chinese unemployment rate in the near future

 

 

this is funner than slaying

 

 

Lol!!!!! I've got to try that. (for those who dont understand he is dressed in bot items dragon med/granite plate and whip at green drags)

 

Am I the only one who thinks Mod MMG and Crisso have been completely unprofessional and overall just plain immature with all their replies on the RSOF? Every reply just emits total arrogance, and it feels like they both have lowered their self down to a bot makers level. In fact I feel the bot makers have been more professional with their reactions.

 

It feels like they are following the same unintelligent replies of your average RSOF user. If this was any type of company besides a teenagers game company I think the public would eat them alive. Jagex needs to teach their employees how to present themselves to their customers before letting their CEO and Mod's run around making idiotic comments.

 

^Troll or ex-botter?

[25-Oct-2011 - Bot-Nuking Day: Making RuneScape Fairer and More Fun!]

Seems like there will be another big update tomorrow and this was only a start (I didn't think they would just have 1 update and keep it that way). It seems this could actually work. But we'll see.

...We are looking at tackling some of the root causes of botting like grind...

 

I will quit rs if they mess with the current system. Please no more gamebreaking bonus xp (like from effigys), AND PLEASE no buying xp/gp with money.

[Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!]

Runescape posted this on thier Facebook earlier, Interesting...

Start out by getting 75 for (not quite) max slayer gear. (70 for barrows/75 for dfs for dragons)

[Sumona Special Task: Kalphite Queen @ 90 Combat (Solo)]

Years of f2p to blame for that :thumbup:

[Sumona Special Task: Kalphite Queen @ 90 Combat (Solo)]

67 atk

65 str

70 def

69 range

90 magic

54 prayer

38 Summoning

 

Assume that I plan to kill it right away without leveling anything

 

I plan on going in with melee prayer gear w dragon mace

 

Inventory is Anti++ runecbow, red dhide top/bottom, focus sight

2-3 prayer pots rest is either sharks or sara brew/super restore.

 

EDIT: Should bolts be ruby/diamond? or ruby/broad?

 

Any tips?

[virtus and arcane and stuff]

Gear?

[Delaying wine from fermenting]

Note it but then you would have to carry it around every where

[70-76 crafting]

Make holy symbols and sell to the general store if you want super welfare .8gp/xp @ 60k/hr

 

Otherwise do green bodies.

[PKers and Bots]

So, you went bot pking and someone else killed you? So they must own the bots. I mean, theres no chance that they wanted to kill you for more loot? Sounds smart to me. Kill person killing bots + bots = more loot than just bots...

 

Only serious answer here and a perfectly logical one at that.

 

It would be too much effort for bot owners to patrol there own bots, I mean the whole point of a bot is to make rsgp 24/7 afk.

[Need help making some money]

Try glacors

This or barrows/bossing if you dont have ROTM done.
