So I keep seeing Twitch.tv users streaming some really cool monsters. I've also seen several UI changes, and mechanic changes for that matter. So I guess my question is, what have I missed? I'm intrigued. Like I'd love to jump back in and try some of the new things out but without some knowledge of what has changed I'd feel super lost.

SWEET JESUS YOU'RE STILL DOING THIS BLOG!?!?!?!?!

Favorite comment I've seen so far about it.

I did double deaths, holi god is all I can say. New hobby =)

Congrats man, really awesome you kept at this and achieved it =) Brings back ollldd memories...

Just kidding, mod please delete. I'm behind the times and didn't realize this requires nothing.

Hmmm.... might have to consider that. I'm assuming thats using the abbys?

Yews are a crap moneymaker now and, as far as I can remember, always have been a crap moneymaker. If you're doing homework, or washing dishes and you want to make some money. Yews a good avenue I think. Just turn it on, watch it go basically. Fishing is the same way. Flipping, what's that exactly?

This topic is too discuss some of the old methods in runescape for earning a lot of cash. Whether it be easy or not. Interestingly enough, these methods of gone ashore and are now dry. A few examples: 1. Nature Runes, I'm a level 99 runecrafter and have been for a long time and I don't see much appeal for this anymore. Pure ess is 140+ and nature runes are about 200 ea. Hardly any profit anymore. 2. Barrows, this was bound to happen but barrows prices have dropped significantly as well. Now some opposites: 1. Woodcutting, yews used to be about as much as natures (at 300ea) and are NOW 500 EA!! 2. Dragon Hides / Bones, steep increase of price. So question is, what's still worth it?

Keeeppp ittt upppp.!!

I agree with that. You'll get a good amount of cash too. Anyways, good luck man! Impressive stats all around. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:

Well there's that extended break I was talking about. lol

Hey Dude, as always I ALWAYS support 99 runecrafting. I know you're not asking but here's a tip if you want to craft faster: Arrange your pouches in your inventory downward in the first column. So it would be "Giant, Large, Medium" Going down the side of your inventory. This improves your load and unload times at the altar. When unloading at the altar, you'll notice your mouse is right over your large pouch when you click "Unload" for giant, when you click "Unload" for large, same thing for medium pouch. Takes virtually no time at all to unload. Plus, you can click teleport on your ring of dueling waay before you're done. It'll teleport instantly after the animation is complete. ALSO! Ditch the small pouch, and here's why: With a small pouch it requires 3 bankings. One for giant and large, one for medium small, and 1 for inventory. This is inefficient, you're losing precious seconds as you have to do the same thing at the altar. ALSO! This leaves more room for mis-clicks, decreasing time. It all adds up. So leave your small pouch in your bank, re-arrange your pouches going top to bottom, not left to right. And I promise you you'll be making natures faster. Don't believe me? Here's my resume :) That was 3 years ago mind you, before the graahk method. Keep it up, RCing is definitely the best early path to other 99's via money.

Hey Man, Awesome to see you're still goin' at it. Keep it up and don't fall short.

Holi god you're still going. lmao

Aren't PHP and MySQL like the standards for both amateur and professional websites of any kind? Large enterprise applications often use Java EE for extremely large-scale service, especially where there are hundreds of servers involved. For example, if one node fails, your request can be rolled on to another node, something that PHP would have difficulty doing. To me I wouldn't use it unless you really need it, because the whole thing sounds too much like Dilbert. Not necessarily. With Cloud services you can copy data from one server to another with ease. LAMP servers granted, are harder to configure to work across multiple servers, but once they're setup... they'll take on anything. Facebook anyone? Massive PHP application. Plus, mySQL offers Master / Slave so you can split databases across multi core processors.

Nice stuff, clean and easy to ready. Good job! Are these users for a web based login or SSH? or what?

I bought pokemon cause I was craving it. Now im craving RS so maybe I'll do that too. Good thing about RS is that I can woodcutt or fish while I'm at work =P

Very nice dude, should get that runecrafting up to make that bank even more impressive =) Keep it up, you already can see the light.

Thanks =) Will be months because I work so much. Aw well. My advice: Arizona Iced Tea

1. Turning off SIG image caching was a lazy fix I will admit, your suggestion is very good though and noted. 2. The stats are cached for stat level trends, not for an image regeneration every request the server gets hit with. The would be incredibly heavy and stupid.

Yes!!! Drum major eh?? Nice

1. Stats are retrieved via php cURL and the runescape hiscores "lite" version. There is mySQL table setup containing all of the skills and their respective runescape Skill ID. Lining these too up it runs a loop through all of thats and sets them up properly. 2. The stats are cached in the signatures database entry. 3. The images shouldn't be cached at all because of an .htaccess file restricting browsers from caching any file with a .png extension. 4. No, images are not compressed (that may be a good option to have for users though). Bandwith is not gonna be an issue once I switch the server to my companies network (AT&T Fiber optic running 50mbps up and down) Also, it will be a dedicated server. No other apache services will be running on it. Also, mySQL databases will be split between the processes cores, depending on whether I have a quad of duel core processor. This is done with mySQL master and slave settings. Apache already splits processes up. The reason mySQL will have separate processes running is because currently mySQL cannot split up onto different cores. (someday... :( )
