About time.

69th page, I am 69 member of clan, and lul=dick I guess. Sex on ur mind or something DEO?

gratz jad was stressful.

You'll pay me 100m? Deal.

So many old faces still around. And so many are gone. Dang. Nostalgiascape. It's good to be back tho and to see old friends. :P

carry me plx.

Good I was bored and missed TDs and stuff so I came back for a bit. How is everything. Besides the ALG troll I mean.

alg still trolling I see.

o;iwhag;oawhrg you still around. I was looking at some of our old old DG glitch pictures last week lol.

Dang I remember this from 3.5+ years ago. Neat to see it still goin!

This shit is still going on? OO hi

Ok so I actually did come back now, but IDK for how long.

Hey I am back after 2-3 years away, and boy is there tons to catch up on. I've been following news at a basic level, and reading up, but the best way for me to catch up is to ask questions and talk to people. Are any of my old friends (or new ones) out there who would be willing to chat on skype/mumble/vent/TS? Basically I'm back to the game with ~15m to work with, and my pots and chaotics and void, but no other gear (oh and imbued rings) and i havn't played EoC ever before. Thank!

What is that halo thing?

And here I was - summoning anyway as Jagex said there'd be no more bxpw's. I'd have to agree with Angerfist though - at least summoning should be capped. They said that like 5 times.

oh hai tui.

This is where my blog, and RS career died pretty much. From a 1b+ bank, to being top 500 or 1k in a skill (Dg) to being LEET at DKS it was fun times. I might play oldschool, but I don't think I'll ever come back to main RS. Nothing to do. Reading this blog has made me happy and sad.

so zapps i watched u play vayne and it made me cry.

Jagex, Zynga, Blizzard, and a few other developers have successfully won lawsuits against gold farmers. The opinion of one lawyer means nothing against actual legal precedent. No, it's not "just a game." It's a business, one that real people work real hours in order to feed their real families. Jagex have said for a very long time, as I've already said, that they don't like gambling and that they would be implementing updates to get rid of not only the gambling methods but the casino operators. It's a simple case of these people were playing with fire, despite being repeatedly warned that something would be done if they got out of hand, and now they got burned. They have no one to blame but their own egos. Then find another game, because like or not that's not how it works here. That is why it's called a warning shot. Judging by the response to the RSOF thread, bans will be coming next. Gold farming is not the same as ownership of an account. You're literally comparing two separate and completely different arguments and using them both as the same for purpose of defending a stance. As for "Then find another game, because like or not that's not how it works here." that's not even an argument. That's a "[bleep] off because I CBF actually defending a stance with real logic." Cases against gold farmers are often, if not almost always due to a breach of the DMCA DRM clause, circumventing access control. They do NOT involve whether or not the ToS are binding or enforceable in regards to whether or not you own or only license your account.

Major problem with this is that it introduces new gold into the game, which causes inflation. If it is Player versus Player and only one of them can win a portion of the money because of 5%-20% reduction? How is this causing inflation? Money is removed from the game! I misread the PVP part (understandable due to the lack of grammar and formatting IMO.)

And to add to that. A quote from you on the RWT banned thread. "I will admit in dicings hay-day I partook in selling gold. Making max cash+ daily in Mew2 and seeing my friends do it and get away with it I thought "why not". I thought I had sound reasons to sell.. Most went to tuition, but I did make two "big" purchases (custom desktop and iPad)." And a quote from earlier in this thread. "Please tell me why I deserve the mute? I don't spam and I don't use offensive language. Therefore I have broken no rules. As for being banned. I have done nothing to constitute a ban(scamming/rwt/botting) so don't tell me I deserve a ban when you don't know me" Nice contradiction Vann. Saying you've never rwt yet you have admitted previously to rwt. This is why we can't have nice things. [/hide] To clarify, I meant I'm not actively breaking any rules. As for that post on the other thread, I haven't sold gp since 2011. It was a means to an end as you see I paid off university debts with it and got a computer/iPad for class. Since selling I have regretted doing it and have been against rwt since then. I agree the impact of rwt on runescape is bad and where a lot of the front men for rwt are hosts, they only constitute a small portion of gp sales. How quickly a position changes, and how easily people find a way to justify. It's brilliant. I'll be honest. I don't and never have sold RSGP, but I would in a second if it meant I could go to college for another semester without having to sit out to earn money. I have no ethical compunctions against doing so, and I've written several articles on why I believe that current U.S courts would uphold the ownership of game accounts/characters/gear/money in games were a case to be brought before them. Likewise, I've consulted a lawyer who'se been a gamer since before I was born (and im in my 20's) and who actually has a paper on the subject published in a law journal- and she agrees with my position. Now, going even more particular and addressing the "OMG gold selling so bad". It's a game, and I honestly think there is a line everyone would cross to get something in real life, were it to require giving up something against the TOS. For some that's little, a few bucks or a few hundred. For other's its in the thousands. But I don't think anyone can say "how dare you" without actually understanding another person's plight. Finally, on the whether or not the muting should be done. DUH NO. Jagex should have at the least made a post, if not directly said it's against the rules. If nothing else they should do what WoW does. You can't advertise gambling/a casino in public channels, but if you want to run one that's fine. The reason for this isn't even because of any direct impacts, but because it degrades the game environment (spam essentially).I find this a much more reasonable stance to take.Let people advertise/host in CCs but not out in the open. Ultimately, I think players should be able to do anything in the game world that isn't 1.) Scamming/robbing/cheating or the like and 2.) Bug abuse (the line between bug abuse and emergent gameplay is for another time.)

Hahaha. Yeah, right. If you'd enjoy risk/reward aspect of the game you would do anything else but host flowers. Besides the fact that that is a personal attack, why do you care?

I don't want the G.E back, but I do want a good venue for trading and buying and selling. E.G a full set of official forums for the different materials.

100% because I think the 07 game is better, but that's because of both the game ITSELF and the way 07 scape requires everyone to start over. EOC scape has nothing for me. The PVE takes very little skill compared to other MMOs and the skills are a grind. Gear is an ends in and of itself instead of a means to an end, and there is very little in the way of actual "progression" outside of quests and skills. Personally, after getting what, like 13 or 15 99s, quest cape, and top 500 DG plust a 1b+ bank before I quit in December of '10 there was nothing left to do. 07 gave me something to do. Also, I can play 07 scape while I play wow or watchTV.
