Vesta's spear
To the OP: New & Corrupt The spear isn't a very popular item, so the street price is the same as the GE price.

Is there a summoning boost?
There is no Summoning boost, unfortunately. Not even evil stews will work. Sorry. :(

RuneFest 2011
I'm seriously considering attending this time around. I'll be in Germany (rather than in the States), so the flight over to the UK won't be quite as bad. I hope everything works out, although there's no way of telling at this point. :pray: If I'm able to go, I'd be interested in meeting some TIFers. :thumbup:

Tormented Wriaths
'Agreed with the above. Farming the Wraith was worthwhile before Runetrek5 (I believe it was called) ruined the safespots there, but now you shouldn't even bother, unfortunately.

Three girls face no charges after pinning down and stripping an 11 year old boy
Only exhibitionists would enjoy being stripped in public. ...is there something you want to tell us? :P

FBI-related site Hacked
Because it ultimately threatens net neutrality. Hacking into government-affiliated sites for [cabbage]s and giggles gives politicians more of a reason to consider cracking down and implementing stricter Internet regulations. EDIT: Beat to it by Mask, heh.

Tip.it P2P Hi-score List
Hmm, I thought I was on the P2P and Staff lists at one point. Could I be re-added, please? :)

Ah, my mistake as well. It can be hard to tell who's responding to whom when there are multiple quotes. #-o ily2, Carl <3: I'm sure we all know what loyalty means; there's really no need to quote a definition. And no, for many companies, the only "loyal" consumers of their products are paying customers. The reason why so many people (myself included) initially thought this update could lead to micropayments was because of the ambiguity in the BTS. Thankfully, Jagex responded quickly and resolved the matter.

Thanks for letting us know. :thumbup:

Iddison era sources don't count though because he did a crap load of game ruining money maker schemes they they complete back pedalled and tore out after getting rid of him rather quickly. I mean he was only there for like a year! And of that year the most notable thing would of been the gnomecoptor advertising and the other become a member! things from clicking members stuff in f2p. That's certainly true. While I believe MMG has better intentions and cares more for the game itself than Iddison ever did, however, I don't think he'll pass on the opportunity to generate more revenue through micropayments if he believes he can implement them without too much backlash from the community. So long as they only offer cosmetic items (at least in the beginning), I believe there's a possibility that Jagex will be able to get away with it. This is all assuming that they intend to introduce micropayments, of course, and I sincerely hope I'm mistaken. I don't have a source because Iddison was replaced years ago. 'Not the easiest thing finding an old source when you're not quite sure where to even start looking. :mellow:

That underlined/bold is exactly what they want to do, they've mentioned it loads of times before. Really? I've never heard them mention it before, care to link me a source? I don't have a source, but I believe Jagex once considered implementing micropayments under Iddison's lead.

They haven't said anything about IRL money being involved (yet), although this "loyalty program" sounds similar to the micropayment systems present in other MMOs. Hopefully we'll all be wrong about this, and Jagex will just require certain ingame achievements or something. /optimistic

This does sound worrying. At the very least, I'm glad it's the final update for the month; if they are planning on having some sort of micropayment system for this new item slot, maybe they'll notice how unpopular the idea is and change their minds before its release. :unsure:

crital error
I'm no techie, but we've recently moved over to a new server, and there are still some residual problems with certain things not copying over correctly (from what I understand). It's being worked on, don't worry. :) EDIT: Ninja'd by Howlin :lol:

You're right - sorry about that! :oops: I've removed the offending sentence and have credited you for it. Cheers, and good luck completing the outfit. <3:

What's the first thing you do (did) when you get (got) members?
IIRC, I completed the Witch's House quest as soon as I could. The members' gate between Falador and Taverley had always fascinated me, and the quest icon I could see just beyond it eventually drove me to becoming a member. This was before I started using fansites or had any experienced friends to tell me much about RS, so I knew very little about the P2P world. I should also mention that I was ~12 years old at the time, and was completely taken with this game. Hahah. :P

15-Sep-10 Z-Buffering
Something similar happened to me yesterday while I was Dungeoneering. My team was fighting the Gravecreeper when he suddenly disappeared; we couldn't see or attack him, but we were still getting hit ourselves. We ended up having to leave the boss room, and the Gravecreeper reappeared after we all logged out and back in again. It happened a second time before we could kill him, though, so that boss fight was quite a pain. Heh. I certainly hope this can be resolved soon.

15-Sep-10 Z-Buffering
glad they fixed that, it was rather annoying =\ I'm actually surprised they "fixed" that. Intentionally lighting your own barricades to stall your opponents (usually when they're trying to rush through your base's defence) is a well-established strategy. Meh. Anyway, this update sounds great! I can't wait for the new and improved animations that are bound to come out now. :thumbup: I do find it a bit annoying that they decided to mess with item inventory images again, though. This has happened a few times in the last year, and the quality of the images always seem to decrease; it's never an "improvement", from what I can tell.

Ask The Staff!
Jimmy <3: I too would like to ask this question. Heh. :shades:

Quick Dungeoneering Question
If you're talking about the RSOF, then no, I'd rather not. Nearly every time I've joined a team formed there, someone left early or the team was disbanded after only a few floors. This is why I'm looking for a dedicated CC to use. ;) I'm still open to suggestions if anyone knows of any more.

Quick Dungeoneering Question
Thanks, I'll be sure to give 'em a try. :)

Quick Dungeoneering Question
Heya. :) I was wondering... does anyone know of any decent Dungeoneering rushing clan chats? I can vaguely recall there being one called "Kannni" (or something like that) which I used at one point, but I can no longer remember the name, nor am I even sure if it's still active. For reference, I would prefer not to depend on world 117 or RSOF-based teams, since I find them to be generally unreliable. Thanks for your time; any suggestions you can give me are most appreciated.

01-Sep-10 Court Cases II
Considering the two-week limit between each case, the Crew needs some help updating the D&D guide. If any of you would like to help, please post here or on the Website Updates & Corrections board (or simply PM a Crewbie). We need the name of the case (verbatim), a chat head picture of the accused, a brief description of the case, and any rewards granted at the end of each case. If we can use any of your information, you will be duly credited at the end of the guide, of course. Cheers, and thanks in advance. :)
