I'm confused about what you are asking us to discuss. I've read through your other two threads (http://forum.tip.it/topic/330181-will-it-ever-get-fixed/ and http://forum.tip.it/topic/330181-will-it-ever-get-fixed/) and understand the context behind starting this thread and the frustrations you've been having. I saw a lot of anger in the first thread, and quite frankly the statement is still excessively angry in my mind. It's perfectly acceptable to be angry, but it is not acceptable to wish for the death of others. I have no authority on this board, but I'd like to ask you to kindly refrain from this harmful writing. On to the topic at hand, the original post contained the following statements. These seem to be mostly factual statements of what happens in this game, and then there is an opinion that something is a bug and that we (the forum readers) should file a bug report. I don't see any actual discussion content though. Are you asking for our opinions on whether this is a bug? Are you asking for explanations of the above statements? Are you just ranting (its fine if you are, although there is a dedicated forum for that)? Are you here to insult people (please refer to quotation #1 above)? I really am curious. What is the discussion that you are looking to take place in this thread? Thank you, ~money EDIT: Fixed some grammer and spacing errors.

They haven't mentioned it. It would be nice to be able to completely reset an account into Ironman mode to avoid losing settings and the name of that acc. I agree, but I didn't see anyone discussing it, so I figured I'd check just in case I missed it. Thank you.

Have they posted any word on whether you will be able to reset a currently existing account into an ironman account? Obviously this would cause losing all stats, possessions, etc.

And probably a marketplace, to be honest.

Well, as many of us remember from when we started, levels come really really fast at the lower levels. Oh my lord I've gotten a lot of levels in the last week or two, and I've barely played!! 23 - 46 Woodcutting 34 - 42 Smithing Hmm, that seemed like a lot bigger of a list until I decided to type it out... Oh well. Anyways, Pictures!! [hide=Woodcutting] [hide=23 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=24 Woodcutting"][/hide] [hide=25 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=26 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=27 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=28 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=29 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=30 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=31 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=32 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=33 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=34 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=35 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide="36 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=37 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=38 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=39 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=40 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=41 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=42 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=43 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=44 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=45 Woodcutting][/hide] [hide=46 Woodcutting][/hide] [/hide] [hide=Smithing] [hide=35 Smithing][/hide] [hide=36 Smithing][/hide] [hide=37 Smithing][/hide] [hide=38 Smithing][/hide] [hide=39 Smithing][/hide] [hide=40 Smithing][/hide] [hide=41 Smithing][/hide] [hide=42 Smithing][/hide] [/hide] Wow, expanded out it looks much more level-ful that the list above makes it look =P. Furthermore, I also reached my monetary goal and now posses a whole 212k. I reached this by cutting oaks. Not exactly the most efficient, but with my previous wealth gained me monies much faster that trying to flip would've. Especially considering I was never very successfull at flipping even when I had wealth (old account) =0. My new monetary goal'll be reaching 500k. As for smithing, I should have enough ores to be able to get to 50 smithing and still have some left over. Guess we'll have to see what happens from there. Also, I want to thank everyone for their comments before. Even if I didn't directly respond I did read them (just forgot to respond, busy week =0). Time for a new question however. How exactly does combat XP work in the EoC? Cause I've got a very screwed up strength level (~ 1/2 of my attack) due to me wanting to be able to wield my tools when I created this account. I tried attacking some weak things and didn't recieve any xp. Do my enemies have to be around the same level as me? ~Pentimatum

Well, played for another hour or two yesterday. Got 60 Mining, so I decided to start on the smithing goal. Hence, the Knight's Sword Quest. Started out trying it with my rudimentary German skills on the Germen servers. Then I realized that I really didn't want to think that hard... =|. Oh well, still got me up to 34 Smithing. I've as such learned that I have no money. I've got about 1k iron ore from before powermining, ~7k cash, and a set of steel armour (that I actually can't wear yet...=0). The talk of the HYT chat is that really the only established low-level f2p money-maker is flipping (and that runes were a good start with low capital). Another option suggested were maples (low dungeoneering and WC) or else willows. Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas? Anyways, pics, [hide=60 Mining][/hide] [hide=Knight's Sword][/hide] [hide=34 Smithing][/hide] ~Pentimatum

Well, managed to be able to play for ~ 45 minutes or so today. During this period I nabbed 59 mining. Only 1 more until the Guild! This also pushes my total level up to a wopping 259! Watch out Syzygy (or whoever leads f2p now), 'cause Penty's coming (not really)!! [hide=59 Mining][/hide]

On this account? No, I've got like 30k =P Haven't quite thought about what to do for the smithing yet. I figure that at 70 mining I'd be able to mine ores fast enough to get the smithing without much effort anyways. Smithing should cath up easy enough. I guess we'll see however =)

'ello all, As it turns out, I've been bored lately. Everyone knows what that means! It's De-Retirement Time Everyone!!!! As I come out of retirement I've realized a couple of things. I used to love the colour purple way too much. Almost everything that I knew about this game is no longer applicable. I wasn't nearly as badass as I thought I used to be. My p2p character now feels limited and like a cheater in f2p. Uhhh, nope, that's pretty much it. As such, a new account has been born! Say hello to "Pentimatum" (mix of penultimate and ultimatum. I created it a while ago and had just never played it). I'll post stats and update the goals and such of the blogs eventually, but for now we'll start out with some simple screenshots of what I've done on him so far. [hide=57 Mining][/hide] [hide=58 Mining][/hide] Keep posted for updates. Sincerely, Pentimatum

To be quite honest, I don't truly believe that the game has changed to become more necessary grinding, or atleast that it has not directly. Instead I would argue that the community, the users, became more goal oriented, and the game followed it's users in providing them ways to express and display their achieved goals. The game will follow it's users and community. There are people who a greatly fond of the current grinding system, and their are people who feel the current grinding should be replaced or else re-worked so that there is a higher element of fun involved. In my mind the game is currently at a stage where it's community is redefining itself. I did not play in the early days of RS, so this is just my interpretation from what I have heard, but it would seem to me that in the early days the community looked for fun in the actions they performed. Whereas nowadays, fun it looked for in the rate of achievement. The community has started shifting to be closer to this notion of maximizing XP or else GP an hour, and it has stressed the achievements of these maximum rates as fun. In the original scenario of the game's origins true grinding as exists now would be horrendously boring. In the current shift of community it can be considered fun. Guess I kinda rambled on there. Hopefully you get the point I was hoping to get across. The problem with this idea is that it would only feel "super fast" because you were used to the old XP rates. After a week or two the new rates would feel old and boring again. This is why it is necessary for a game designer to either increase a maximum achievement in these kinds of games, or else to play careful attention to how quickly the increase the rates as time goes on.

Ok, yeah it's back up for me too. Anyone know what happened? EDIT: The G.E seems to be working for me, have you seen if logging out and back in fixes it for you Winford?

I'm experiencing this too, so it's not just you. As to the reason I'm still trying to figure that out. EDIT: So I was hoping that there would be a post on the forums (Official) as the the reason, but those seem to be down too. EDIT2: Ok, the forums are back up but it doesn't seem to mention it. I'll keep looking though.

Woops :unsure: didn't mean to do that. Fixed now. Thank you.

The thing is though, that all Ceremonial sword methods are p2p, not just the higher level ones. So really the question is whether the burial armour is a better method than the conventional methods.
