15-Nov-2011 - Breaking Dicing
September: I Diced for money -> got 95 prayer. September: I Diced for more -> got 96 herb October: I Diced Again-> got 99 herb October: I Diced more -> got 99 prayer Early November: Diced more -> got santa and all the gear I need Now: Jagex Removes dice. Now: I lol'd I have no problem with in-game gambling. Staking is just as bad as dicing and you can get scammed just as easily there too (so many bugs tbh). If they implemented an in-game texas holdem table in brimhaven hosted by npc pirates id probably play there and do nothing else lol. On the other hand im glad Jagex is cleaning everything up. One thing that bugged me was how so many kids felt the need the talk like illiterate inner-city crack dealers when they'd host. "I roll dis dice fo yo geepee's ya dig?" #-o

Bringing new players into Rs
Id love to see some data showing; of the active players (people who have gotten on in the past month), how many have been playing since: 2010, 2009,2008,2007,2006, etc. I bet most people who play, have been for many years now. What I mean by that is, most of the people who play rs arent new players. Most of the times I talk to a lower leveled player, they usually have a main (and no, theyre not one of those "I have a main hes lvl 138! Ill get on him and kick your ass" trolls). Im guessing most new accounts are veterans re-rolling an account for pvp purposes/for a good laugh. Most of the people you talk to in RS will either respond to this question in 1 of 2 ways: Question: "Why do you play Runescape and not another MMORPG?" Answer 1: "Ive put too much time into RS and I cbf relearning/leveling in a new game" Answer 2: "I have played other mmorpg's and im maxed on __Insert game here__" Either they cbf playing another game or they cant quit RS until theyve "Beat" it like the other mmorpgs. My opinion: -If runescape is the first mmorpg you ever played, youll come back to it over and over. -If say, WoW was your first mmorpg you ever played, youre less likely to get hooked on RS. If Jagex wants to increase the playerbase, they need to make the game more appealing to people coming from other mmorpgs. My $.02 EDIT: To go with Makotos statement, most of the people I talk to usually express a desire for RS to take a new direction. It goes along with the "Cbf releveling in a new game" answer. If you give them, a new game, I dont see why they would complain. TBH even the players who grinded prayer before *offer all* will admit they hate the grind. Sure theyll [bleep] and moan saying "We got it the hard way" but in the end they wont care because theyll have a more enjoyable game to play.

Andrew Gower...
Net worth has to do with their current assets right? current asset is an asset on the balance sheet which can either be converted to cash or used to pay current liabilities within 12 months. I dont know for sure, but I guess thats stuff like land, houses, cars, stocks, money, ladies of the night, and whatever part of Jagex LTD/RS he still owns shares in? and pal I think Netscape is Mozilla actually, dont quote me though.

Andrew Gower...
Anybody know what hes worth in $$? I remember a few years back somebody posted a link to (yahoo?) showing an article where they said he was one of the top 50 richest internet entrepreneurs or something. EDIT: Looked it up, I dont know how accurate this site is though. Yeah, Id walk away with my $680 million too... Especially back in 2010 when the game looked like it was going to hell. EDIT X2: Looks like more sites are claiming he's only worth $217 million. Only.

Could this be counted as against the rules?
To be honest Mucky, most of the maxed players in FSC used ahk and had them move to specific parts of the screen and stuff like that; theyre not banned. Im not sure if that means that its legal, or if its just hard for Jagex to justify banning somebody for it (I would have a hard time banning somebody for using ahk since theyre actually playing manually and not afk botting). My best suggestion to you would be to just make sure your hot keys are simple enough that they would be perceived as hot keys by Jagex, and not macros/bots.

Except you can actually spam click a teleport and itll lag and keep teleporting for several minutes after you stopped clicking. Is that against the rules now too? :S

99 Dungeoneering: 99 #6 for the Year
Grats! That for sure one of my favorite 99s (not because of the cape, just because of the effort put into it) Silly question, do you remember how long 90-99 took you? I might go for it over winter break :)

Beast of Burdens, Overloads, and New Hot Keys?!
Thanks for posting that on this thread Kim :) I actually watched the video where he talked about it :D :D :D Im super excited. Im currently working on a new suggestions thread for rebalancing/improving combat. It seemed like he (mod chris l i think) had alot on his plate (player owned ports, new xp counter, and armor kits) and from what I heard he wasn't entirely sure he would be able to get the new combat system approved right away. So I figured I would help by rough drafting a combat update/hotbar suggestion thread. Maybe itll help them skip the early stages of rough drafting and get them moving into the dev stages :thumbsup:

RuneScape 2012 from RuneFest (future updates)
Im really hoping they add Zoom in/out to the game. Maybe by using the little wheel on your mouse (in between the left/right click)? I hate seeing a birds-eye view of my character and i'd love to be able to see an "over the shoulder" perspective like the one they use in most other mmorpgs. Thats what they need in RS really; more updates that allow people to play either the "old school" way, or the new "modern mmorpg" way. While I personally would love to play RS in a new, updated version, others might still like the traditional RS gameplay. BTW, did anybody else watch the vid where the girl suggests a "seduction skill"? :wall: :wall: :wall: All of a sudden the people who suggested sailing as a skill dont seem as dumb.

Future Update Discussions
I don't get it... me neither, the audio's kinda shitty, so i'm just doing my best here. In most games if you can sneak up on your opponet and get a stealth attack on them you will either kill them outright or do a large amount of damange with a single blow (higher than even a crit). And its a huge problem in WoW; theyre always nerfing it/boosting other classes to try to even it out. Obviously itd be easier to fight back to a stealth attack in RS because you dont have to turn your camera angle to see/attack them. Might work. Grimy: I think combining thieving and combat? Idk.

Future of Runescape Combat
Im so excited for this :) I just made a suggestions thread for a hotkey bar last week in the other section of these forums :D :D :D Bring it OOOOOOOOOOOON. No more Afkable bosses = I like RS now. And this isnt a copy of WoW, every MMORPG has these -.- Do you guys think this will mean you'll be able to mage/range/melee all bosses now? For example, you can only range Arma now, but with the new combat mechanics do you think we'll see more "Class" types in MH teams? I would love to see mages, rangers and warriors all come to together to fight bosses (As opposed to having 6 ppl, all geared exactly the same, fighting the same way, fighting nex)

This should help Jagex beat bots
Id rather have sweatshop rwters than bot rwters. That way only a small fraction of the chinese are doing it. With botting rwt there were actually kids in the US farming their own cashpiles and selling it. They were making anywhere from $200-$2000 each. It changes the game a little more than regular rwt IMO.

Recovery PINs
I support except what if the pin generated for the account is made by the hacker and not the real owner?

Your Biggest Ingame Regret?
^ you forgot a heartfelt quote. I regret getting banned for an autotyper in w2 back in 2005. I got banned for spamming "selling torags legs xxxK!!!!" and the rwt bots today go unharmed most the time >.> Ahwell.

Beast of Burdens, Overloads, and New Hot Keys?!
Recently I decided there were a few minor changes I wish jagex would add to the game to make everything run a bit smoother. After bothering the people in my usual friend's chat (codguy's fc), I decided I should make a thread and see if anybody supports the ideas :) 1) Filling your BoB Familiars Inventory From the Bank: Maybe I'm just lazy but I find it bothersome to have to take things out of my bank, put them into my inventory and THEN move them to my BoB. I decided it would be nice to see an option where you can toggle between whether the items youre pulling out of the bank go to your inventory or your BoB's inventory. Pretty simple explanation hopefully but I made a picture to go along with it as well; Since the Pak Yak has more than 28 inv spaces Jagex would have to add a scroll bar to the Familiars inventory tab (kind of like how it works when you inspect other peoples inventorys when in a dungeoneering team). Also, sorry for the fake 1337m cash pile, I couldnt resist :P 2) Overloads NEEDS an On-Screen Timer! This one speaks for itself really... Its a pain to have to use a timer on another internet tab (or a stopwatch irl) to keep track of how much time you have left on your Ovls dose (or when the next 15sec interval is). Basically we just need a little timer in the corner. In the picture below I placed it low enough in that corner so that if you happen to die while the Ovl timer is still running there wont be any overlap of the two timers (grave and ovl). 3) Hot Keys Tab: This one is kind of tricky to explain. Basically I think we need a custom hot key option so that we can assign our own key combos to trigger certain in game commands (ie: by hitting CTRL+1 will drink a Prayer Pot dose or F1 will turn on a Protect from Melee, etc) I dont have the patience to try and design a perfect GUI to show how to set that sort of thing up but hopefully it makes sense (if youve ever played other mmorpg's such as WoW itll make alot more sense). I made a picture to hopefully show what I mean. In fixed mode it would look like this, but in full-screen mode I think it would be nice to actually allow you to move the buttons around to any part of the screen (if you want them on the far left side, the very top, etc). In the picture next to the potions it has xNumber. The numbers represent how many doses of those pots you have in your inventory to drink, NOT the quantity of the actual potions themselves. -Basically to set up the hotkeys you would click the edit button, then click on the slot you want to change, then a window would pop up and from there you would choose what action it would complete (a prayer, a spell, drink a potion etc) Then in that same window you would be given the option to set a certain hot-key combo (I personally would like to set up F1-F12 with my own hot-keys). It would help a ton with MHing as switching prayers/drinking pots without clicking between the prayer and inv tab would be a lot faster. I know they currently have in place hot-keys that jump from tab to tab (from inventory to prayers, etc) But I think the hotkeys im suggesting would be MUCH better as it skips having to move the mouse and click something to trigger drinking a pot, etc. Anyways I hope you guys agree with me and support these suggestions :) ~Nash

Took 3 Month Break
^ probably a keylogger. jk. ROTM is a great new quest, you can train farming now through a minigame that uses lunar magic (forgot the name) but it makes farming a grindable skill now. New barrows brother (after doing rotm). and yeah bots are everywhere :/
