     Alright guys, this is the last part of the summary of the last several weeks.

     

    Depending on my workload, I might have to stick to this format in the future (posting everything when I finally find the time). I'll do my best to update this as regularly as I can, but don't hold your breath!

     

    Part 3 (Mostly Questing):

     

     

    After a healthy dose of farming, I decided to once again begin questing! This time, I decided to tackle the temple knight quests, which was one of the quests that really attracted me to membership back in the day (I always thought the white/temple armour looked soooo much better than any black armour).

    2013-10-16_173825_zps534a7e21.png

    I'm ready!

    2013-10-16_174258_zps72c76282.png

    2013-10-16_174158_zps4bccf9fd.png

    I also found the cutest thing ever in this quest (I love foxes):

    2013-10-16_180025_zpsc945a73b.png2013-10-16_175948_zpsb3607c09.png

    2013-10-16_181254_zpsbc95062c.png

    I began the next quest, but didn't start it immediately as I felt inclined to wrap up the karamjan quests first:

    2013-10-16_211002_zps86b2b9c7.png

    2013-10-16_211502_zps22b9c8a8.png

    I'm scared!

    2013-10-16_211535_zpsd5dc362e.png

     

    Finishing up the Karamjan Quests:

    2013-10-17_062737_zps24e3e6ef.png

     

    Decided to go ahead and do the followup quest:

    2013-10-17_063946_zps272b7705.png2013-10-17_123735_zpsd055ef8a.png2013-10-17_070336_zps8e247857.png

    2013-10-17_130509_zps1226c5b6.png

     

    also finished up the tribal totem:

    2013-10-19_010307_zps8b116c4c.png

     

    I was in a big questing mood, so I went and started the Goblin questline! (another questline that got me really attracted to membership back in the day)

    2013-10-19_210213_zpsaa7634e6.png

    2013-10-19_210340_zps224da403.png

    That's the first time someone complimented me about that!

    I found some absolutely stunning caves:

    2013-10-19_210752_zps8b09bba1.png

     

    Investigating about the Lost Tribe:

    2013-10-19_214832_zpsdbe9eaf3.png

    Hehe, beardy short people in mountains  :D

    2013-10-19_214853_zpsfaa59f9f.png

    2013-10-19_213900_zps14b189bb.png

    2013-10-19_213900_zps14b189bb.png

    I never knew there were so many Goblin Tribes!

     

    I eventually put the clues together and found the cave goblins!

    2013-10-19_221000_zpsc323d0da.png

    2013-10-19_222636_zpscb0d85ad.png

    Quest complete!

    2013-10-19_222750_zpscbf18aa6.png

     

    I then continued the Wanted! questline:

    2013-10-19_203708_zps6d9a4256.pngI can be mean too  :angry: !

    I ran everywhere in pursuit of Solus Dellagar

    2013-10-19_223853_zpsf4ce49bc.png

    Eventually, We got him cornered!

    2013-10-19_231031_zps3f71fa5d.png

    He's too powerful!

    2013-10-19_231233_zps017cc3fa.png

    He was exhausted after his spell, and I killed him!

    2013-10-19_231334_zpsec16fb1e.pngI really like savant.

    2013-10-19_231633_zpsb1199fbd.png

    After noticing the difficulty in reaching the far eastern section of the continent, I decided to do Ghosts Ahoy for the teleport (mainly because there's a farming patch there):

    2013-10-25_032950_zps7737633b.png

    2013-10-25_033146_zpsfa4787d5.png

    Yes, yes I will...!

    2013-10-25_033757_zpsbd90b5e8.png

    He's very rude!

    I went to find some help:

    2013-10-25_041533_zpsb96aa91a.png

    2013-10-25_041657_zps89b1cd5a.png*shed tear*

     

    I got myself a very realistic ghost costume:

    2013-10-26_113632_zps21d25e4c.png

    Look at me melding in perfectly with the locals:

    2013-10-26_113620_zps58fbb95a.pngI eventually obtain the power to control the mean ghost!

    2013-10-26_114921_zpsa25cbbb4.png

    2013-10-26_114932_zpsebc689d6.png

    muhaha, revenge is sweet!

    2013-10-26_115118_zps2c206a74.png

     

    I also did a quest before relating to sea slugs, but I didn't take enough pictures (I got pretty freaked by the quest), but since it's related to getting the shinier temple armour, I continued down the quest chain:

     

    First quest:

    2013-10-19_232943_zps5d2a3a28.png

    2013-10-19_235156_zps4f56a1ed.png

    The second quest:

    I killed a giant slug and it turned into goop!

    2013-10-26_131128_zps33971351.png

    But then an even LARGER slug appeared! It's even holding a woman!

    2013-10-26_131156_zps48983fcf.png

    2013-10-26_131250_zps86087429.png

    Savant saves my life shes the best, and Tiffy grants me a promotion

    2013-10-26_131433_zps22719937.png

    (yes, I know there's very few pictures, I got too engaged in the storyline)

     

    Aaaaand, that just about brings things up to date!

    The last things I did was to go ahead and unlock the Yanille Lodestone:2013-10-27_055237_zps29987c9b.png

     

     

    And that's about it for now guys!

    Alright, here's the next part!

     

    Soon after the above events:

     

     

    Drezel gives me a quest right after the last!

    2013-10-13_124912_zps869d1b4e.png

    I went ahead and activated the lodestone:

    2013-10-13_123147_zpsb3d48a46.png

    Found my friend again, and helped him out:

    2013-10-13_123346_zps3ce2bfbf.png

    What a masterpiece!

    2013-10-13_123414_zps95155372.png

    Went ahead and did the nature spirit quest:

    2013-10-13_131601_zps8c911832.png

    two spirits at the same time!?

    2013-10-13_193839_zps6ee28c31.png

    2013-10-13_194329_zps3931b65e.png

    I also found another quest slightly south to the grove, and decided to do it as well!

    2013-10-13_201848_zpsf5452751.png

    2013-10-13_201940_zps70f7d302.png

    Some beautiful purple crystals:

    2013-10-13_202259_zps3953b03f.png

    2013-10-13_202238_zps57575465.png

    This quest really creeped me out though, so I decided to leave this haunted land for a while...

     

    Back to Ardougne!

    2013-10-14_212622_zpsaa463468.png

    2013-10-14_213205_zps83c0ac1c.png

    2013-10-14_221703_zpsbcecefca.png

    2013-10-14_221711_zpsd9ce6d76.png

    And.... I rescue her!

    2013-10-14_225610_zps3cd07a46.png

     I then went back to do some more Farming, as the skill was really growing on me.  :mrgreen:

    2013-10-15_122902_zps1c4e42e8.pngI, of course, went and bought that scroll immediately:

    2013-10-15_160628_zps478c148c.png

     

     

    Ugh, I had a lot more typed up, but the browser messed up and deleted 30 minutes worth of work. #-o  Thanks to the save feature it's not everything, but I'm pretty put off right now... I'll probably type the rest up later... :wall:

    Hey guys! I'm finally back...!

     

    Sorry it took so long, I was very occupied with work,and anytime I could find I found it better spent playing than typing  :oops:

     

    I've done quite a bit though, so here's the update!

     

     

    Alright, so the first thing I did after the events above was to try and get myself the strongest magic cape in the game.

     

    I got camped the first second I teleported using the edgeville lever, but evenually I got the cape!

    2013-10-11_140410_zps4793d899.png

    2013-10-11_140439_zps1dc261e4.pngI also went ahead and unlocked the spell for use outside :)

    2013-10-11_143453_zpsda7581ff.png

    To celebrate, I bought myself a shiny new wand :) (I got a discount too!)

    2013-10-11_152255_zps41557d16.png

    My next location was Karamja. (not getting distracted this time, I swear!)

    2013-10-11_170919_zpsf70b1764.png

    2013-10-11_171046_zpse25d7a87.pngI found a guy in old school armour!(I miss the old medium helms)

    Activated the lodestone:

    2013-10-11_172041_zpse0344135.png

    Also picked up a quest:

    2013-10-11_170943_zpsddb1ad2d.png

    Found the lodestone!

    http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab324/peter_144/2013-10-11_172041_zpse0344135.png

    After walking around a bit more, I got attacked by some tribesman!

    2013-10-11_171537_zpse606f20a.png2013-10-11_171617_zps27afa912.png

    I went to the tribe leader:

    2013-10-11_173308_zps526a7e44.png

    2013-10-11_173409_zpsfcd208aa.png

    How unfortunate!

    2013-10-11_195919_zps40323345.png

    After that, I left the island (Didn't want to spend too much time in the jungle), and went to finish up my god emissiary tasks:

    2013-10-11_212950_zps46c344c5.png

    This guy wasn't directly related, but I had to kill him to access the blue dragons which I need to kill. (Check out that amazing weapon!)

    Fighting the demon as the final part of my tasks:

    2013-10-11_214745_zps75ae6309.png

    2013-10-11_214841_zps90478864.png

    2013-10-11_214902_zps65117361.png

    My new armour set!

    2013-10-11_220013_zpsba11bb55.png

    Bought myself something fancy and went to test out the set at Castle Wars:

    2013-10-11_220130_zps02c73e0d.png(closest thing I can get to an armadyl battlestaff :roll: )

    Me posing with the flag:

    2013-10-11_234647_zps54b19c61.png

    fun in the waiting rooms:

    2013-10-11_221652_zpsd4369ae7.png

    I left soon after because my combat level is simply too low to deal with those who played the game.

    I found farming a very interesting skill!

    2013-10-12_120036_zpse673fdca.png

    2013-10-12_114104_zps123353eb.png

    2013-10-12_120533_zps7f2f68a9.png

    What odd colours  :mrgreen:

    I then went questing:

    2013-10-13_114426_zps17238c61.png2013-10-13_114450_zps924e414c.png

    Off I go!

    2013-10-13_114615_zps0a9e9a71.png

    However, things didn't go as planned:

    2013-10-13_115934_zpsb27bcd69.png

    2013-10-13_120019_zps12249e54.png

    2013-10-13_120224_zps53767d34.png

    2013-10-13_120246_zps7012e190.pngThe king is a scary man.

    However, I eventually work things out:

    2013-10-13_122735_zpscc8cbede.png

    2013-10-13_122748_zps1ad7dbad.png

    Hurray!

    2013-10-13_122813_zpsa1a05426.png

    I now have access to the creepy lands!

     

     

    In the next section, I will cover my adventure in Canifis! (I'm scared this will go over the word limit).

    Runescape Dying? [Discussion/Observation]

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Just to put a cat amongst the pidgeons, perhaps an upside of all this is the older player base leaves and makes way for a newer playerbase where things are on an even keel.  Perhaps one of the negative aspects of RS after EOC is a playerbase that's been around for a long time refusing to accept change or being so negative about it that the negativity filters through to other players.  Maybe we might be better off in some aspects from a new start.

    That's assuming there will be a new playerbase. The truth is, a lot of newer, better games are free now and computers that can run those games are getting cheaper and more affordable. There is little incentive for someone to pick up Runescape, especially since its subscription based but isn't that much cheaper.

    Hey guys, sorry about the huge lack of updates! I'm still alive and kicking!

    I've been dealing with midterms and between studying and digging time to make use of my newfound membership there really wasn't a lot of time to go through and upload photos :(

     

    I've got one last batch of work tonight, and then hopefully I will still have enough energy in me to upload and narrate :)

    Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Schoolwork is hard, I haven't even been able to get on to do a quest or anything...

     

    I'll try and push stuff out but I'll most likely only be able to make 1~2 updates during the weekdays, sorry!

     

    Edit: Here's the week so far!

     

    10/7~10/10

    [hide]

    So, I tried to be smart when heading to the GE and teleported to Edgeville, knowing there is a shortcut there, and I found this guy:

    2013-10-07_110041_zps625ffe23.pngSo awesome! there really should be more treants in this game! As a side note, My agility level wasn't high enough to use the shortcut :(

     

    Well, Off to agility training!

    2013-10-07_121552_zps180b1040.png

    I then went to Chaeldar to get my next task:

    2013-10-07_131408_zps9fd5c854.pngIf I finish this task, will you marry me?

    2013-10-07_131529_zps07ad6331.png

    So, Following the advice earlier, I decided to get a Dragonfire Shield!

    After heading to the G.E, (making sure to use the shortcut), I found this:

    2013-10-08_175525_zpsf2679d7a.pngPenguin in a pumpkin??

    Anyway, I went and put an offer in:

    2013-10-09_112325_zpsd938964a.png and sooon......2013-10-09_112609_zps6a5aea97.png

    Hurrah!!!!

     

    After this, I decided to go kill some stuff for my Emissary tasks in Karamja.

    2013-10-08_181129_zps4c858591.png

    However, I got COMPLETELY distracted by this :

    2013-10-08_181338_zpse9c192ee.png

    There's cool statues inside! I took a photo with one with the same high-5 pose:

    2013-10-08_181446_zpsefebdb3b.png

    After wandering around, I found these guys:

    2013-10-08_185216_zps459111d6.pngSo, I tried to find out what they're doing (he's shooting at the cracked ball):

    2013-10-08_185239_zps34eb559f.png

    WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT SKILLED ENOUGH *RAGE*

    I spent the next hour or so slaughtering the innocent citizens of um...Lavatown?

    The spoils:

    2013-10-08_191000_zps73f3db26.pngI got a ton of charms, but they don't seem to stack... How odd.

    I didn't feel happy after slaughtering innocent citizens, so I went and did something which didn't involve killing: Thieving!

    2013-10-08_201945_zps1123444a.pngMaster farmers are very sensitive in their pockets

    2013-10-09_152331_zps8ed02aea.png

    While I was training in Varrock, I ruined some poor fellow's life:

    2013-10-09_010525_zps9dc0e5b5.png

    It left a sour taste in my mouth, so I went to pickpocket some people who are more annoying:

    2013-10-09_235456_zpsd03630f1.pngand I found my first clue scroll!

    2013-10-10_001210_zps0d06a553.png

    The adventure of the clue scroll:

    2013-10-10_002817_zps95a05015.png

    Not bad for my first Clue ever!

    And that's about it for now! the second half of this week is a heck of a lot of work though, so I might not be updating this until the weekends.

    Kalphite Hunting:

    They dealt a little more damage than I expected, had to run and restock after about 80 workers. Here's the loot from the first section:

    When I went back, I went and challenged some soldiers, and when I had two kalphites left on my task, I went and killed two guardians, one of which dropped the super attack :)

    2013-10-07_010755_zps39d9b50d.png

    I found out the bonus of Warpriest armour can proc on poison!

    2013-10-07_011202_zpsa5d8d598.pngThe charms are the total from both trips, I didn't bank them because I didn't include them in the loot picture the first time. :P

    My slayer level literally shot up during this task (27 now)!

    2013-10-07_011055_zpsb42745ed.png

     

     

    I also got another task from my emissiary:

    2013-10-07_004109_zps42e2ed3f.png

    Sounds like I have more hunting to do! What are jogres though

    [/hide]

    On a side note, I bought this off the G.E. I wanted a dragonfire shield, but it still costs a fair bit (1.2m). This shield has the SAME stats, in fact it has one more prayer point, and it costs 72k... What a steal!! ;D

    2013-10-06_180128_zpsa791e10c.png

    I guess I can only use the anti-dragon shield now for dragon hunting though :/

    Hey guys! I'm back! Got caught up in some work, I'll try and put two days in one post

     

    Day 3

    [hide]

    a good start :)

    2013-10-04_200427_zpsf0714d88.png

    While wandering around Catherby, I found a quest marker:

    2013-10-05_111757_zps8e5f5a7c.pngOff to the fishing competition I go!

    2013-10-05_111929_zps64b1fd92.png

    2013-10-05_114813_zpsf8a8ed04.png

    I then found this while practicing my thieving skill (I need 50 for my God helmet)

    2013-10-05_145747_zps211749a9.png

    Sounds Great!

    2013-10-05_151654_zpsd513d3b4.png

     

    While hanging around lumbridge, I decide to finish the quest I started by accident when I was trying to recover my Saradominist token: Lost city.

    Spending the night here!

    Day 4/5: Stayed up pretty late so just counting these days together :P

    [hide]

    I decided to hang around Zanaris and kill some otherworldly beings, maybe they'll drop me a dragon med! I decided to take this opportunity and hit 75 attack to use my shiny new sword too :)

    2013-10-05_161645_zps9e55d5be.png

    and eventually....

    2013-10-06_023119_zpsc1dc7284.png

    HURRAY! Here's me with my smexy new sword, along with the loot from training: (No D-med unfortunately :( )

    2013-10-06_024110_zpscdd36ab5.png2013-10-06_023702_zps1b493596.png

     

    Well, That's enough Zanaris for now, but before I left, I decided to grab a slayer task from the slayer master:

    2013-10-06_160126_zps53d9635b.pngShe's so cute

    My god emissiary agrees:

    2013-10-06_144515_zps070d42c9.png

    However, I think I'll get some thieving levels first:

    2013-10-06_131348_zpsaae952a3.pngSome quests I unlocked through the way

    2013-10-06_114855_zpsa54194ea.png

    2013-10-06_131444_zps87a12b0e.png

    and selling my loot!

    2013-10-06_131730_zpsdc428c1b.png

     

    Alright, I think that's enough thieving for now... let's go kalphite hunting!

    Here's my setup for the hunt:

    Exciting!! First time venturing into the desert! I hope I brought enough waterskins :/

    Good Morning! Start of day 2!

     

    [hide]

    Upon logging in, I found a message in the chatbox:

    2013-10-04_105410_zpsb773bed5.png

    I ran over asap, and found a massive demon fighting a group of players!

    I died many times, and accidentally lost my dragon saradominist token :(

    however, here are the rewards:

    2013-10-04_105427_zpsdc0245b3.png

     

    I went back to the crater to try and reclaim my token, but there were no recruitment officer to reclaim it from... Is it gone for good?

     

    I wandered around the back and spotted a quest marker!

    2013-10-04_110908_zpsfe99293d.png

     

    I would love to help, but...

    2013-10-04_111007_zps82b4be12.png

    Oh well... I'll help you later then. After that disappointment,I dropped by the wizards' tower. I remember a members minigame being on top, and went to investigate what's it all about.

    2013-10-04_112005_zpsf914db2d.png

    I want that hood he's selling!

    2013-10-04_113502_zps2b4de27c.png2013-10-04_114005_zps5e394ef8.png

    2013-10-04_115727_zps1db4f6a1.png

    Yes!, finally got enough points for the hood! GIMME!!

    2013-10-04_115916_zpsae238759.png

    WHAT!? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!

    2013-10-04_120928_zpsd8718172.png

    Yes please...

    With the hood, I decided to complete some more of my God emissary tasks

    2013-10-04_133150_zps2fe320b6.png

    Looks like we're heading on a roadtrip to Ardougne!

    2013-10-04_142803_zps3dc40fe3.png

    What a view!

    2013-10-04_143021_zpsd5188a56.png

    Catherby's such a relaxing place! I decided to spend a night here: The room even comes with free wine!

    2013-10-04_144626_zps0fdbddea.png

    Alrighty, let's head towards Ardougne!

    2013-10-04_150258_zps40c6fb06.png

    Finally completed the task!

    2013-10-04_150313_zps60431d4a.png

    aaand the next task is at Yanille! I'm not sure I really need to travel that far yet, but I do kinda want to finish this set of tasks. I might just go for a short visit and fully explore Yanille/Ardougne later!

    Thank you very much for the support, this is my first time becoming a member as well as my first time writing a blog! Any comments/advice is welcome!

     

    Edit:

    I couldn't sleep. This is too exciting! After helping the lady in Varrock with her cat, I decide it might be time to venture into some member territory. I began my travels at Burthrope, a city I have already been to. However, things have changed, and I'm here to explore what new things I can do!

     

    This man is incredibly tall :o, by the way, those statues are amazing!

    2013-10-04_045636_zps759a9620.png

     

    this guy's tall too.

    2013-10-04_050320_zpse7429fbe.png

    I sharpened my attack skills for a little while

    2013-10-04_050715_zps2743e1e8.png

     

    The exhaustion's finally caught up to me. I think I will finally call it a day now.

     

    I went and got the 5 year cape & hood, and I'll use it for now until I can find something better!

    Found a quest(or two) near the G.E., I guess I'll do it after I throw in some offers on the GE.

    If my memory serves, it's the cat quest :) Meow!

    and it's done!

    2013-10-04_025309_zps8361375d.png

     

    I bought myself a saradomin sword (a weapon I loved for a while now), then found I needed 1 more attack level to wield it. ouch.

     

    Edit: I forgot to mention I went ahead and did some of my God banner tasks. I didn't get any rewards aside from xp, so I didn't take any photos, sorry!

     

    That's all for day 1!

    Hello, and welcome to my humble blog!

     

    [hide] Hi. My name is Ping. I'm not a frequent poster on Tip.it, and I'm not too outspoken in game either. I am 18 years old and I am from the small island of Taiwan. English isn't my native language, so I apologize beforehand for any silly grammar errors. I apologize for the lack of information, I'll add more if things work out, but right now I don't feel comfortable disclosing too much information.

     

    Outside of Runescape, I play League of Legends and DoTA 2. I mostly play DoTA 2 now, but League is where I started that genre of games, so it'll always have a special place in my heart. :wub:  [/hide]

     

    A little bit about my runescape history.

     

     

    I was introduced into this game when it became popular in my elementary school, and I've followed it on and off ever since. I had long periods of quitting, but holiday events kept me returning every year, and despite all of my friends quitting, I kept on. I'm not overly social, and I never felt belonging much in game. However, about 4 years ago, I found a group of people at clan wars, and somehow I made friends with them. We became incredibly close, and for the first time I felt a sense of true belonging. However, I had to quit eventually due to classes, and after returning about 9 months ago I found out that all of them had quit and moved on. I kept playing, but the game slowly began to drag, and I couldn't stay focused for long, often playing for several weeks then stopping for a month or two. 

     

    However, I've recently decided that, after playing this game for close to 9 years, that I will become members. I feel intrigued by the questlines available in members, so decided I will give it a shot. I guess that makes my blog not too different from most other blogs out there, but I've decided one thing in my trip into membership. I'm going to keep this game fun for as long as possible. This means I'll probably do questing most of the time, and I will train skills when I feel like it. Am I aiming for any 99s? Not for now. I want to be immersed in the story and enjoy my membership in a different way. I'm not familiar with quotes, but someone sometime ago said something along the lines of "It's not about the destination, but the journey." I'm going to try and live to that quote, and play as such. I will play like an adventurer. Which means I won't be doing things the optimal way, I won't be using optimal gear, and I'll probably make a load of stupid mistakes. Nonetheless, I believe a game is more fun the less you know, and EoC truly achieved that. I used to pride myself in knowledge regarding members content, but much have changed and I decided that this time, I will venture in blind (somewhat)

     

     

     

     

    Some self "rules" of my playthrough:

    • I will avoid using quest-guides if possible.
    • I will also avoid "quest hunting", where I go to a place purely to complete a single quest for the reward. 
    • An exception to the above rule is if I really wish to visit an area, and quests are involved. I believe it's more adventure-like as you will do whatever you are required to get to where you want to go. The above rule applies more towards item rewards.
    • Trade is allowed, but I will try not to abuse it.

    I'm taking out the rules, I found out it's difficult to have fun while having to watch out for rules all the time, ahaha!

    To make up for the FREEDOM! atrocity of removing rules, I'll put some goals here:

     

    Current Goals:

    • Elf quests up to crystal bow
    • 50 Agility for Crystal Bow
    • Metal Dragon Hunting (Near future)

     

     

    Future goals:

    [hide]

    Item Goals

    • Zarosian Relic Helm (Done!)
    • Saradomin Godsword
    • Armadyl Battlestaff
    • Faithful Shield
    • Fire cape
    • Crystal Bow
    • Big Axe that killsl Dagannoths (sp?)
    • Void Questline Sword
    • Dragonrider stuff (dropped, not bought)
    • last pieces of my Saradomin Warpriest

    Level goals

    • 50 Agility (Crystal Bow)
    • 50 Thieving (Relic Helm)
    • 77 Magic (Armadyl Battlestaff)
    • Ability to summon an impressive summoning familiar

    Monster Hunting Goals:

    • Giant Mole
    • King Black Dragon
    • Mithril Dragon

     

    • Ultimate goal: Quest cape

    [/hide]

    This blog will be a semi-RP play of RS, with lesser focus on optimal speed/gear.

     

    Alright, now that I'm through with all the introductory stuff, lets show you where I'm starting at:

    Ah, a humble beginning for a humble adventurer. At the time I post this topic, I will be paying for my membership and beginning my adventure!

     

    I am in college, but I will play when I feel comfortable and can find the time. I will try and keep this updated as much as possible!

     

    My Runescape name is Fobbo, feel free to add me as a friend or drop me a message! I'm always lurking around the tip.it chat when I'm online!

     

    Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy watching my adventure!

    Thanks for all the help guys! I have decided that I will become a member!

     

    The struggle now is when, as there is no current prize for subscription. The 12 month package seems awesome, except to my understanding it no longer contains runecoin and all the extra bits and pieces, yet retain the same price. I mean, I would much prefer to spend ~6.25 a month with the 12 month package, but it just feels horrible knowing it gives me so much less because I wasn't able to buy it earlier. I'll probably see if anything comes up in the next 1~2 weeks, then decide what I want.

     

    I'm thinking of getting a shorter one for now, in case a promotion comes up.

     

    Edit: I've just read a post on the RS forums stating that premium membership will come up again soon. I guess I'll just do a 3 month membership first and check things out. If it turns out that I love it, premium membership shouldn't be a huge problem :)

    I think I have one or two sides lying around that I used to do holiday events on, so those could work.

     

    The account thing is a tough choice though, I mean, I did put so much time and effort into this account it feels stupid not to, but at the same time it's kinda like hey, you've kept this account f2p for so long, why give up now?

     

    Also, what are some options I have to buy membership? Is there still a promotion for membership, like free stuff/cheaper prices? How do bonds factor into this, are they cheaper than buying membership straight up? I can blow about 2/3 of my bank to buy a bond, does that give me access to everything p2p has (Mainly, can I change names?)?

     

    I admit I am a little bit scared of membership. I used to play Runescape enough I knew everything, had a plan and a list of everything I'd get as soon as I reached members, but that is no longer the case. I took a 2 year break until last December, and then another break until recently where I tried to get the BoL rewards. I mean, the amulet of fury, armadyl, Recipe of disaster gloves aren't the best anymore... I am quite genuinely lost on what I will do, and what I will aim for when I do.

     

    Just as a side note for the P2Ps out there, do you find yourself spending lots of extra money? E.g. spins, cosmetics, etc.

    Hello, I've stalked the forums on and off for years now, but I've rarely posted. But I have a question to ask.

     

    Yes, the age old question. Should I get membership?

     

    It's been tearing me apart recently, mainly because I got my own debit card and can now afford to pay for some games. Runescape's been an interest of mine for a while now, and I've always longed to go into membership, and do the quests full of lore, obtain powerful weapons and adventure into the massive world that has been held away from me for so long. The BoL also sparked my interest, especially since I couldn't complete the set in time and now the only way to get it is, unfortunately, in the GWD.

     

    I've also wanted a name change since the day they were released :/

     

    But, on the flip side, Runescape is subscription based, which isn't a problem, except the subscription runs whether I play or not. This has always kept me distanced from RS subscription because i know I'll be bleeding money whenever I go on a holiday, or am overloaded by work. This slow money drain also might make me play the game just so I don't "lose money" and might lead to worse studies...etc. I'm a college student now and I am very aware of the heavier workload associated to it.

     

    Another thing is I do play other games. Dota 2, League of Legends are both games I love to play, and they require time too.

     

    Lastly, I've been a F2P for...8? 9 years? I don't remember anymore, but this is a old f2p account, and to be honest, I kind of don't want to make it members. The obvious solution is to just make a new account, but would that be worth it? I can't be sure.

     

    So, here it is. Have anyone else struggled with this before?

     

    Members/nonmembers, what have kept you with your decision? I would love to hear some experiences too!

    Since spirit shards are now F2P, I'd like to give a quick tip that buying them for 24ea on the G.E. nets a nice 1m profit per 2 weeks or so. :)

     

    Pocket money if you have some cash just idling around.

    Sorry, but I don't understand how this makes money? If you bought them off the G.E, who do you sell them to?

    I hope you can't use Gilded Altar in F2P. That would make Prayer so easy while it's one of the hardest skills now (obtaining the money atleast). Jagex already made Runecrafting easy with Runespan and look at the amount of players who got 99 RC with it. It used to require alot of effort and I used to be really proud on my level, but now it's just not special anymore. Making Prayer simple too would just decrease the value of maxing it.

    Costly =/= Difficult.

    Thank you, The reason I mentioned the Law/Nature staffs is to use as a non-degrading substitute to the Gravite staff. I know it's worse than the bat wand but I don't like wands (they burn through runes), and while I really want a chaotic they seem far away. In that regard, would they still be useless?
