    While not canon per se, the books all seemed to paint the Black Knights as a pretty violent and evil group committing crimes in recent times. This is pretty indicative of them as a group I'd say.

    The books are not canon in the slightest when it comes to the game lore, so any crimes or violence they commit there cannot be taken as indicative of what the organisation is within the game.

    The books are canon. Several in-game sources verify it. The Black Knights were the aggressors in the last war, and their previous leader, Sulla, was a ruthless, violent, cartoonishly villainous psychopath.

     

    The Black Knights are also slavers. They totally use slave labor. That's not something T.S. Church came up with, either, it's straight from in-game lore. You gonna defend that too?

     

    How many evil deeds have the White Knights committed in canon? I'll give you a hint, it's none, because they're the good guys.

  2. The White Knights are legitimately good guys who have protected Falador in war and peacetime alike. The only "evil" white knight we've met was a traitor who was feeding information to the Black Knights. It's the Temple Knights who work in shades of grey, and honestly, we've still only ever seen them go after evil targets.

     

    The Black Knights have historically been a pretty evil organization. The only reason they're remotely sympathetic in the Sixth Age is because of Lord Daquarius and his sensible, moderate reforms, and he still has to struggle to keep the extremists under control.

     

    Just because the evil faction says "But they're just as bad as us! Worse, even!" doesn't mean it's true. Of course they're going to say that, they couldn't justify being evil if they didn't believe everyone else is just as bad.

  3. If anyone wants to know, Mod Obeith has confirmed that all the items added to TH for this promo (Golem Outfit, Skilling Headpieces, Ice/Fire Warrior outfits, Slayer Masks) are permanently added to TH. The only temporary part of this promo is the Heart of Fire mechanic that lets you guarantee which item you get.

    Good. About time they came to their senses about that. Are they adding the Ethereal and Shark outfits back to the wheel as well?

  4. So people don't want stuff like Livid because it's only tangentially related to two quests, but at the same time want to force on RNG lore books that don't actually tie into quests at all, but are simply there because lore? LOL K

    Well, if the lore books are miniquests, then okay, sure. Livid Farm is clearly in the minigame/D&D/activity category. It's not a quest and it's not a miniquest. It makes no sense for it to be part of the quest cape.

  5. from what I've experienced in quests, Zamorak has been largely reasonable about negotiation (despite his past actions), while Saradomin just bawls like an infant the moment somebody tells him he can't have what he wants

     

    both of them have resorted to unsavory means to accomplish their goals, but only one of the two are forthright about the matter

    Saradomin wants to use his power to protect people who are too weak to protect themselves. He believes his power gives him the responsibility to use it for the good of mankind. He chooses to use his gift to fight evil.

     

    Zamorak isn't interested in protecting anyone. All he's after is power, and he'll do anything to get it, even if it means destroying innocent lives. That's not even propaganda. Look at what he actually DOES in the storyline. He blows up Forinthry! He commits genocide against the dwarves! Etc.

     

    Basically, Saradomin is Superman and Zamorak is Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor loves to paint himself as the hero and Superman as the villain. Well, **** you, Luthor, if you want to be the hero, maybe try actually helping other people. And not just in imaginary storylines, either.

  6. Am I the only one who's reading it as 'Once you unlock {Champion X} from a champion scroll one time, you can fight {Champion X} every week until eternity' for each individual champion? So once you got the scrolls once you're done?

    Of course that's what it says. I don't see any other way you could reasonably interpret it.

     

    60k xp a week if you've found every single scroll, though, that's still not very impressive. It's going to be less than Tears if Guthix, certainly less than Jack of Trades, probably comparable to, like, the Jade Vine, maybe. And Jade Vines aren't exactly a premium D&D.

    I appreciate the increased timer before log out. It just saves me having to reload the client between sessions.

    I don't know how people can go 6 hours without having to do something else in that time which takes longer than 5 continuous minutes.
    The game session timer runs while you're logged out. You can log in for a farming run in the morning, log out, put your computer in sleep mode, leave to go to school, and come back in the afternoon, and when you try to log in again, the game will tell you that your session has expired and you must reload the page.
  8. I personally can't stand "runecoins".

     

    Jagex needs to realize that not all of us can afford to pay 100s of real life dollars. Those of us who have limited money can't buy even half of these overrides.

     

    Which does bother me. Yes, I like to wear my dragon armor 24/7, but I'd like to at least try the other overrides for sale.

     

    It's hard for me to see this as a serious problem given that a. we're talking about stuff that's strictly cosmetic with no in-game benefit, and b. you can buy it all with in-game gp.

    They should just get rid of the front flap things completely.Also... If they're going to give people free overrides on SGS for the old skillcape models, then they should also give us free overrides for the new models.

    I have no idea why everyone voted for the tassel option. One of the only things shown as advertised and people hate it.

    I would have been very upset if they'd removed the tassels. Tassels are the single most defining characteristic of the skillcape's visual design. No other cape has them.

     

    Then they went ahead and kept the tassels but made them no longer match the cape, which is...just...ugh.

     

    So now they're probably just going to bring back the old model, breast-clipping and all. Bloody Jagex.
