Something really weird happened to me the other night. I'd been up all night before and around 10:00 pm went to the bathroom to get take a bath. I got undressed , locked the door and started running the water. I get into the bath and guess what? I fall right asleep. The next morning, I wake up in my underwear in my bed. :? I have no memory of anything in between. I looked around and found that there was no sign that anyone had come into my room. There and there was a drawer still open in my bathroom which kinda blocked the way through the door. My uncle was the only one home and he was upstairs (asleep presumably). I figure one of two things happened A. I woke up, clothed myself, turned off the lights and got into bed all without remembering it. Which seems weird becuase normally I can't even manage to get a blanket over myself in my sleep ,but it was cold in my bathroom mabe that bolstered me to do it. B. My Uncle came in, pulled me out off the bathtub and dressed me. Which is also weird because I'm 18 years old.... I think I would've heard him banging on the door and trying to unlock it but I have no memory of that either. -.- I've been trying to figure it out myself and can't seem to come to a conclusion. I guess I'll ask my uncle but I was wondering if any of you could solve this mystery.

What are YOU a racist? You think all africans live in huts and such?

i think mine is original :lol: but i did get banned for my username.......when i was lvl 102 :roll: unbanned 2 months later :wink: I read about that In the Tipit times, its good to know you came out unscathed (for the most part) :)

The last time jagex cared about non members was the Halloween event and that turned into a total catastrophe. So you're telling me you became a member before you even saw what the game was like? Don't be so naive...

Most Runescape Members didn't pk/duel, and it doesn't really hurt anyone if non-membs quit. Well "non-membs" are potential members....you just have to look at it that way. If they decide the game is worthless in the f2p stage will they ever play members? The answer is no. At least I don't think so. In addition to that jagex would lose advertisement money if masses of f2p player quit for a better game.

:-s Part of the reason I say these things is jagex is so out of touch with their players they have no idea what they want.

Can I ask you a question? What will YOU do if summoning doesn't meet your expectations?

What I'm saying is with all the hype and speculation flying around people are going to have high expectations for summoning, especially after the last batch of updates. Can you honestly say that the duel tournament met people's expectations, or jagex's solution to rwt. Its a matter of bad track record and high player expectations. To be honest I can only see the following people continuing to play the game: Young children who don't know any better and Old people who really should Believe what you want but Runescape is becoming more of a single player "Skillscape" as we speak. We've lost the ability to cook while pking, to merchant, even to give each other gifts. How many freedoms can this game stands to lose before players go out and find another free game to play?

:? These last few updates seem to be nothing more than Jagex's attempts to mitigate the negative response players have been giving their less popular updates. :| I mean wildy capes and staking for f2p after both these concepts had been officially neutered? Am I the only one who sees what they're doing? As for summoning, I don't see it meeting a lot of the expectations players had for it. I mean is it supposed to fill the void Jagex created by effectively removing pking, staking and merchanting from the game? :| What happens when the summoning update is as boring as farming? Several of my friends and even people on these forums have stated that they would quit if that was the case. :| Opinions?

Rofl they already have one. Only thing is Teleporting to find your target and his clan readying their ddp++'s \

:P Kind of like bounty hunter?

What would be the point of risking your stuff to get nothing? Reminds me of bounty hunter XD

*sniffle

: Thanks for the compliments, its good to know my time spent online wasn't entirely wasted. I would post this rant on the RSOF but I've cancelled my runescape subscription and I won't be renewing it if you know what I mean. If you or anyone else could post it there for me with these suggestions I'd be elated. As for the suggestions. May be Jagex has been looking at pvp all wrong since some of the earliest updates to the player versus player combat system were made. If jagex wants to move forward, I suggest something new something innovative. Like 9-10 servers just for pvp, imagine each server complete with its own map, the ice server, fire server jungle server (I know it sounds stupid but I'm just pulling this out of my [wagon] :XD: ) Or we could have it like the old days when players could attack other players anywhere...anywhere on that server that is. I think players would find these solutions much more satisfactory than being "canned" in the bounty hunter arena. Just the thought of how little thought was put into it pisses me off, can it even be compared to Karamja or Ape Island?

Revenants are tougher than most PKers anyways. To be honest, when I play Runescape I'm looking to have FUN. What a surprise. I'm not looking to have to adapt to some flavorless image of the game I once used to enjoy. 30k Stakes for duel arena!?!? How can I enjoy dueling when I use more than that in runes arrows and bolts. May be I don't have mills from endless fletching...maybe I pked for subsistence? Also I know what you're thinking summoning will fix everything, well what happens when summoning sucks, what happens when its P2P only (as it probably will be) what happens then? Also good luck on that 99 magic. Yew prices ftw! :XD:

Honestly I'm glad that the revenants are so horribly overpowered an I hope Jagex never changes it. They screwed so many players over with the new updates and anyone who posts about it is instantly flamed by skillers. But if they introduce something that merely inconveniences these people they want to whine about it. The update made it hard for you to train on green drags, well it made it damn well impossible for stakers to make any kind of real money. Well maybe just like Jagex didn't want stakers to "abuse the system" bye making billions in seconds they don't want level 70- combat levels in the wilderness doing quests, crafting nature runes, or earning ghost capes... I know i'm being an [wagon] by saying these things but thats exactly how I feel. The update was caused by people whining pkers killing them while they were rune crafting and by rwt now that we've arrived at a solution you want to complain again. Maybe its time for [/b]YOU to quit.

:thumbsup: Yea, I read your post earlier and decided to voice my own opinion on the topic XD

Mabe you're on to something...

:P Hi everybody, I'm here to give you all my opinion on the new Bounty Hunter Minigame for Runescape. Guess what, its F2P isn't it nice of Jagex to give them an update :D Now skillers can roam runescape freely and pkers have their own little sandbox to play in. Everybody's happy and the system works perfectly right. Well thats how it works out on paper. In truth bounty hunter seems to strike at the heart of runescape. You're probably thinking, what's wrong with bounty hunter I'll just be a good little boy and attack my target so I don't have to deal with the 180 second penalty. Problem is there's a good chance you're target has a crew of 10+ friends to make him that much harder to kill. So while you risk your life to fight someone who's in no danger of dying thanks to his crew..he gets your items over and over again. =D> Well thats no problem if you're a clan pker or whatever, but for those of us who don't have time to gather a group of 20+ pkers or keep getting bsed by the teams we try to pick up at the mouth of the caves this is a HUGE problem. Another point, unlike the skulling system of the old the new system doesn't account for self defense. If I kill someone in self defense and happen to want his items for going through all the trouble I get slapped with the 180 second penalty anyway. Is this because killing anyone besides my original target is evil (as attacking an unskulled player in the original wilderness was, or is it because Jagex wants to pursue its own ulterior motives) -.- Fact is, the whole bounty hunter experience makes it impossible to form friendships with people who could help you in a fight. In the old wilderness system, if you were edgeville pking, you would fight someone for a few rounds. If you lost you'd say good fight and you might even make friends with the victor. In the new system any player going it solo is instantly destroyed by a massive clan or buy a motley crew of one iteming schmos.. Bounty Hunter is a joke. Rather than rewarding players for their risks, for their hours of grinding, for learning new innovative ways of pking Bounty Hunter (aka "The New and Improved Wilderness) simply crushes them with a giant fist composed of clans and one itemers. Don't even get me started on the level restrictions 3 caves for all the different levels. Jagex are you out of your [wagon] licking minds?!? In the old wilderness player could fight against their equals, well at least based on combat levels, in this wilderness new players are crushed over and over again by teams of players who may be many levels ahead of them. Is this player friendly? I don't think so. Another thing about the new update is the environment. I spent most of my time in the wild before the update. I'd hang around the monastery in edgville and attack pkers then run back down and heal, just being a noob. Later on, I became more serious, buying food and pking just outside of edgville. I'd go on the ocassional trip to varrock with a team or go to the castle. Some of my favorite memories are from pking with my little brother at the bandits camp and having him cook pizza for the whole team and being enslaved by higher levels to make pizza XD. Sounds stupid, but its the little stupid, simple things that made this game enjoyable for me. The little stupid things like staking higher level players just to challenge myself, making friends with other pkers at edgville, and giving a friend in need a few items or some money to get him back on his feet, these things are all gone. The staking update was TERRIBLE. I quit then, thinking things would be better in a few months but when I returned to find this ABOMINATION in the place of pking..... I just don't think I can play anymore. I know that when I quit, I'll probably be replaced, so will all the other pkers/stakers/merchants who quit because of these updates, but how fun will the game be when the only people who enjoy it are immature ten year old miniclippers? If you thought "The Pure Problem" was bad, you've got a whole nother thing coming. and for those of you who think adding a solo bounty hunter will make the game better. Well, consider how much you'd be pjed when everyone within 50 levels can attack you at whim....everyone. The way I see it Jagex just doesn't care about pkers (or seemingly anyone who enjoys activities a little more competitive than skilling) enough to even give them a decent replacement. They told us if you don't like staking try pking...ok I did that...what do I do now? :-s Opinions?

:shock: After reading an article on prices returning to normal after the grand exchange, I decided to buy 19k cooked lobsters for 205 gp each. I figured if the prices went back to normal in about a month, I'd make a hefty profit. :| However prices seem to have dropped even further since yesterday. Should I sell my lobs now to minimize my losses or should I wait a few weeks and see what happens?

I just bought a visa vanilla gift card today so I could buy a membership. Only thing is it doesn't have any bank information associated with it (name, address, phone number) so it seems I'm unable to use it to buy the membership. It might just be waiting for the transaction to register, but I can see this becoming a problem. Help please...

:? Should a p2p ancients/ranged pure get prayer?

-.- So i guess to be a good pker now I have to pray (used to have a few pure stakers) thanks for the advice, any more opinions?

:? I've been thinking about making a members pker, because of the dueling update. I just can't decide whether to make it a ranged/ mage hybrid or a mage/ melee hybrid Here are my 2 characters T e s h i attack:1 strenght:1 defence:1 Ranged: 40 Mage: 41 and C h i 13 attack:20 strenght:52 defence:1 Ranged: 1 Mage: 1 (I'll get him the extra mage levels if I decide to make a mele/mage) Which is the better pker? :-s

:? I feel for ya man....there are way too many safers out there... I suggest taking a break from rs and coming back when you feel a little more refreshed. Also don't pk when you're stressed or tired. Mood can have alot to do with it. Best of luck.
