Hey, wookies are cute in their own smelly way. Ewoks, yes. Wookies, NOOOO.

i cant remember if it was strength or firemaking. both were fun to get anyway. strength more than FM, since i actually made money doing t.

My dungeoneering level is 1, but I totally agree.

Compared to a wookie, perhaps. We must hunt this creature down and kill it for the sake of humanity.

No, I don't think so. They want to even out the odds between the combat types within the combat triangle. That doesn't mean that every "class", or combat style should have an even chance against all bosses. Some bosses need to be tanked, some need to be spanked.

If the RSC servers had a global chat?

I'm an adult and I would steal your account if we were friends.... :P

Not gonna happen. Hell will break loose and soccer moms will form a crusade against Jagex, claiming that dicing taught little Joey how to gamble, do drugs and be a teenage "baby-daddy".

Nonetheless, nobody should be mass-reported for not replying. Clan etiquette or not. It is abuse of the report system and a childish thing to do.

Hold on just a minute while I tie myself to my chair. I'm afraid I might just fall off and ROFL from the great and original humor in this thread.

Yeah and while you're at it. put an H in Zonghui. I think he'd be happy about it. And Thehate has no space between the two words. Also fun fact. Fckedyomomm would have beaten Ladykilljoy to 99 strength had he not been banned for being an a-hole. But he was a few thousand exp ahead and the two were literally head to head in competition, afraid to log out, lest the other gain an advantage. Fun fact 2: Also Zonghui got 99 hp on f2p, while the 2nd and 3rd (and so on) people to 99 hp were members.

Why wouldn't a hormonal teen respond to a creature of its own kind?

Since they stole credit cards to fund stolen accounts. Pretty common knowledge. :thumbup: Except they wouldn't have to steal credit cards, if people started getting automatically billed for the amount of time played per month.

If you're part of your schools staff and post a video on Youtube, criticizing your school, I'm pretty sure it would cause trouble with your workplace, be it voluntary or not. Let's just say the film was about how 90% of the students are on crack and nobody is doing diddly-squat about it.

Haha yeah well, seeing as Tip.it is a rather respectable forum I steered away from that path ;) You're right about the long start-up as well. Although one funny thing that makes RS unique is the lack of substantial end-game. And by end-game I don't mean making a goal to get 20 mil exp in each skill. I mean actualy end-game material. Even though it's 10 years now, one can still really feel the effects it has had, that Andrew and Paul had no idea where this game was going. Although there are many joys and pleasures throughout the entirety of RS as a game. The feeling of accomplishment is surprisingly small when achieving a goal (9 out of 10 times it is a numerary goal , either X amount of item one wishes to attain or XX level in a certain skill). I have 6 or 7 skills that are level 99. Was I happy when I attained the level? Not really. Was I relieved? BY ALL MEANS YES. The feeling of emptiness is likely to occur with lack of endgame, once a player has reached a high level in Runescape, which might be the cause of the growing amount of people questioning Jagex and their motives, as the amount of high levelled and skilled players continues to grow. As a matter of fact, RS reminds me of many text-based games, since the majority play for the numeral effect. They want to see numbers growing. Some just happen to enjoy the grind to get there.

I agree that the derivation is rather poor and I prefer the original game, DotA over it. Some things I haven't understood are, why make the fps rate so low per default? The movement is choppy, unlike DotA and I fail to see what the idea behind it is. I appreciate some things, such as the ability to hide in tall grass and the ability to tp for free to base and thats about it. Not being able to deny creeps also sucks, since that is was can make or break a game if you're good at it. Oh well, come DotA 2, LoL and HoN will die. I can understand if an outsider that never tried DotA thinks LoL is cool and fun. But if you played DotA and liked it, I have a hard time understanding the choice to switch over to LoL. Is DotA f2p? It is a Warcraft 3 mod, but yes DotA is free. DotA 2 will be a stand-alone game and most likely cost the same price as most new computer games, but it will also be a one-time payment. Warcraft 3 and Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne you will have to buy if you wish to play DotA. It's dirt cheap on Battle.net though and you can download the game directly off their server, it's about 1.5 gigabytes all in all so you could have it up and running within an hour or two. If you like LoL you might as well play the better version that LoL and HoN are copying.

tip.it trolling just leeches too much off of 4chan nowadays.

Is this a joke? No is it so weird to pay for the time actually spent playing? Many amusement parks/swimpools use this: you check in when you start and check out when you leave, paying only for the minutes inside. That is to counter overcrowding. If anything, Jagex wants more and more people online at any given time, since it means more potential customers. Very few will start playing RS with buying membership. If you make people pay by the hour or minute, they will get the feeling of having to accomplish something all the time, ultimately stressing out little kids and people will stop playing. Computer games are meant to be played for relaxation. Also, hackers would just leave accounts logged in to troll people and that would cause extra confusion and trouble on Jagex' behalf, most likely they would have to refund a buttload of money. The combination of stress from checking whether I payed too much, or didn't get the maximum per hour (like what happens during a BXPW, where you are stressed over not getting the max experience for your highest multiplier) and the possibility that hackers could leave you logged in and over-charge you makes this kind of feature dead before it gets off the ground. Which is why I am about to PM pulli and ask him who is dealer is. Seems like he's smoking something pretty heavy duty.

I'd like to comment on the first article. LoL is closer to RTA, a real time action game with a 3rd persons view, rather than a RTS, since real-time strategy games include micromanagement. Also the reason many prefer games like that over RS in your college, is that within 30-60 minutes you gain instant satisfaction. There is no foreplay. With regards to skill, I would rather you talk about DotA versus RS instead of LoL vs RS. Since LoL is DotA, just cheaper, worse graphics and more restricted in many ways (and in some ways less). There are professional gaming leagues for DotA, which is a mod of Warcraft 3. Both games came out in the start of the new millenium, yet now in Korea and the U.S and certain European countries, one can make a decent living from playing DotA. Why? It is a skill game in a totally different league than Runescape. Granted Runescape requires a set of skills, but so does Tetris and Pacman, you don't see anybody gaining fame or making money off those games. To make a long story short. With regards to skill, Runescape is rated low amongst gamers. The challenge therefore is low and ultimately the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment doesn't pay off, taking the amount of time and effort one must put into reaching the end-game in consideration. Also if one thinks the game is boring, opening RS in a tab and doing other stuff isn't likely to make one enjoy the game more. So why play? Good article though and nice to know there still are loyal members out there, albeit I very rarely play. I just hate to see a game I played for 10 years get bashed out of pure sentimental issues, lol. On a side note, I've actually only discussed Runescape with 2 people in real life over the past 10 years. How weird is that?

Very inspiring! Thanks for the vid.

Fortunately I believe the administration isn't care-free enough to ban somebody, based upon a single statement and the fact that the poster has a low post-count. Besides, if one is ignorant of the rules on tip.it they should be advised of them and given another chance, especially as a new user.

The person posting above you could mean it in a humorous context for all we know. I also real world trade, every time I buy my groceries. But even if meant as a joke, it's not really that funny :P

But Runescape already costs money and Jagex is already making money with the set price. Upping the price to make players leave, as you suggest, would be bordering commercial suicide. People are willing to pay 2 to 3 times the amount of money per month for other games, because they believe they are better and the fact that other games can sustain very large playerbases, regardless of charging $10-15 per month sustain their beliefs. (That the games are better graphically etc, than Runescape). So if Jagex were to raise the price to 2 to 3 times the current cost of monthly membership, a heckload of players would go play the other, better game. The general population is not as attached to this game as alot of people would have us think.
