RSC Trial-Period Over
Not an RSC player, so seems odd to me - sticking to average Runescape 2 here! :^_^: Very interesting though...logged in just to keep it available!

So..Jagex is working on Make-up for Girls
Much agreed! Diversity in character looks would be a great addition I feel - looking forward to this, although from the looks of it it's still in early stages. ;)

1 itemers in Stealing Creation
I've pretty much never played Stealing Creation - I hopped into a game when it came out but had to rush away to make a phone call, never had a game after so apologies if my post is somewhat lacking in background. From what you've described though - I can definitely understand the annoyance behind such a tactic! However, i'll play Devil's Advocate here: Surely this defines it as being a reasonable tactic to use? Assuming you still get points for doing it. (That's not to disagree with it's annoyance however!) :^_^:

Mouskeys Help
The feature you're looking for is called 'StickyKeys'. In Windows XP, it can be found at this location: Start -> Control Panel -> Accessibility Options. You'll want to both enabled the "Use StickyKeys" checkbox and configure the settings as appropriate to what you want. Easiest way to use would be "Press modifier key twice to lock", then simply Double-tap the Ctrl key to have it locked in the Held-down position. :) Personally, I find StickyKeys pretty annoying to use as the Ctrl-key being held down makes doing the majority of other tasks a nuisance, even chatting! Instead, if I use MouseKeys, I remap the End key to act like Ctrl, allowing me to easily hold that down and use the Numpad for MouseKeys with the one hand when I need it, whilst still being able to easily do other tasks as Ctrl isn't always held down. ;)

99 Fletch & 2376 Total
I doubt I'll make the party but really awesome work! :) And a huge congratulations in advance, you've climbed very quickly over the past few weeks from what I've seen - that's some fantastic dedication! :^_^:

Prayer
I believe one of the references to a prayer update is the following image which was 'leaked' from the Knowledge-Base supposedly. The image obviously shows an updated Prayer Icon - although I find this a pretty loose tie to a prayer update, but it's something I suppose. The image also shows 611 Songs, which at the time was more than we had (608). One of the new additions is a song called "Angels & Demons" which we still don't have even though we now have 613 songs overall. I also thought that there was mention of a Prayer update in the Q&A's that Jagex have done - but I can't find anything so I suppose I'm either missing it or it was my imagination! :^_^: So far to me, it would appear that the majority of evidence is from Player-hype rather than actual statements from Jagex, although the High-Level updates each month that Jagex have mentioned suggests the inclusion of Prayer I'd imagine. Edit: There's also a thread here on TIF which was discussing the possibility of a Prayer Update: 242535-prayer-update-is-it-around-the-corner/ It mentions that the CEO hinted at a Prayer Update in Q&As, but again - I can't find reference to that. ;)

09-Nov-2009 - Champions� Challenge Update and Hairstyles
Marginally off-topic, but has this been changed with today's update? I've not been Graahking in a while, and the terrain level's really messed up at the moment around the lake as the picture shows. Anyone know if this happened just today or has it been here a while? [spoiler=Terrain Level Oddity]

That was someone at the Grand Exchange actually, unfortunately not mine! :) Taken from the Runescape Knowledge-Base Article here: Champion's Challenge

09-Nov-2009 - Champions� Challenge Update and Hairstyles
It seems Champion Challengers can now also get a Barrier Carrier Imp to show off their completed challenges. The Imp will follow you around and you can specify which banner to show. [spoiler=Imp Picture] Edit: Beat me to it! :)

09-Nov-2009 - Champions� Challenge Update and Hairstyles
I'd agree - I expected a larger update than this, was surprising to see. However, there's quite a few small but quite good alterations to the game along with this - glad to see them! :)
-
RC Guild Worlds
I'd have to agree with you there somewhat, other official worlds would be useful. I guess there's nothing stopping people grouping together and going to another world though... The fact that there's numerous people in that (presumably F2P) screenshot with skillcapes also seems to suggest that P2Pers are hopping to F2P worlds to play.

Runecrafting
I'd love to be able to say that i'm entirely self-sufficient and that I mine it all - but that's not the case. I buy all the essence that I craft, to be honest - haven't really ever mined Essence much at all. :)

Fansite highscore/sig info suggestion
Quest-points would be a good addition to the Hiscores; I do say Hiscores as simply adding it to the Lite page would be rather disliked I feel, if it's added to one it should be added to them both. Personally though, I feel it wouldn't be worth having a 'rank' for the Quest-Points. Simply a little addition to the page stating what Quest-Points you have. Or, given the Adventurer's Log update - we could have a Quest-Point addition to that if people feel that displaying the quests done would be an invasion of privacy. It wouldn't be difficult to generate from an Adventurer's Log profile, heck - could even refuse creation if the profile is private. ;) Although - this would limit the Quest-Point feature to only being for Members, which would be rather unfortunate. As far as Name-Changing traces go, I think Jagex have already spoken out on this and stated that they don't like the idea of it as an addition as it would negate the 'added-security' of not having your username visible. Although very minor, and of rather insignificance in the larger picture - I think Jagex are going to follow this through. I imagine it will at least have a positive impact in a few situations. ;)

Runescapes Rarest 99's (as of November 1, 12:01 am)
My personal opinion on this is that Runecrafting greatly emphasises the repetitiveness of the game. Although all skills are greatly repetitive in nature in Runescape, Runecrafting is one of the few that the majority of people identify as being such without much thought. Others have ways of detracting attention from their repetitive nature. Runecrafting of-course does this by running the same path repeatedly, over and over again. From discussions I've had with people it could also be that this repetition involves more focus too. Running paths requires more clicks and attention than clicking Cut-All for Fletching for example. Given that theory; it's natural for people to get impatient with repetitive things and unless you can find something in particular to improvise and enjoy the skill - many are going to fall away from training it. :)

Astral Runecrafting
I gave this a bit of consideration too; I believed that although you're right - it does require another Banking and Crafting process, the extra 7 essence crafted each trip should outweigh the extra time taken especially given the recent alterations to banking and crafting / emptying pouches. :) Thanks Zaaps! Glad to have a few more numeric references to back the point up; numbers are good. :)

Astral Runecrafting
I'm not entirely certain on Astral Runecrafting, but I do believe that in the majority of cases it's far more worthwhile to take an Abyssal familiar whilst using Super Energy potions on the rare occasion you require Run-Energy. However - I haven't got any data on this, so I'd love to get a reply from someone who has done some more testing! :)

XiliFied's road to 99 rc!
Pfft, studies! :P Congratulations on your previous levels and good luck with your overall-goal - it's a long one, but worthwhile! :) (Good luck with the test too!)

RC Questions
Just as a little note, although marginally off-topic as it's not one of your questions: I average around 2.8k Essence / Hour with a Graahk - consistently. Once you have all 4 pouches, I'd recommend not using the Small-Pouch, it takes longer to use due to extra banking and crafting than the extra natures it provides are worth. ;) I'm also using a few super energies as there's very little time when I'm actually standing still, it's only a very small amount, but it's still more efficient to use them the few times you need them rather than resting.

How long does it take to get 99 RuneCrafting from 44?
I could give you a rough-estimate based on methods, possible paths etc - but I don't think that'd benefit you all too much. As others have said - it will most probably take months. Especially if this is one of your first attempts, I'd highly advising just seeing how you go at the moment. Aim for the 60s or 70s. If you can stomach that then consider moving on further because it requires a hell of a lot of dedication. ;)

Linking GE Market Price to Spreadsheet Help
The following should do the trick: =Index(ImportHtml("http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/results.ws?query='Item Name to Get Price of", "table", 2),2,3) I'd mention the following: Obviously replace "Item Name to Get Price of" with the Item's Name you're searching for. The last instance of 2 I believe refers to the position to retrieve data from. 2 will retrieve the price from the topmost search result, increase according to the position that the item is returned in the search. For example, if I was looking for the price of Clean Guam, the following would retrieve it: =Index(ImportHtml("http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/results.ws?query='Guam'", "table", 2),4,3) Of-course, one could simply refine the search query to be more specific, but I've found the G.E searching can be slightly temperamental at times to retrieve your exact item as the first result. ;)

hacked need to regain money
Duelling Rings to Castle Wars are probably your best bet for Runecrafting via Graahks - supposedly there is a slight quicker speed with Castle Wars than Edgeville. Having said that though - I tend to use Edgeville w/ Glory Amulets as the Graahk piles tend to be a lot less.

Tiny pixel icon request.
Ooo, lovely! I see what you mean - gives it a nice 'crisp' look, thanks! :)

Tiny pixel icon request.
I know practically nothing about graphics terminology! Will have to bear with me. :P What do you mean by a pixel flag?
