Funny because it's true. This. All the investors seem to do is act stuck up on their high horse, throwing crap left and right without listening to feedback. If the community is blocked from expressing themselves one place, they will find somewhere else, or find a way around the block. The Solomon's Shop video had ratings and comments disabled, so people moved their rage to their other videos. On another note. I remember playing MapleStory for the first time when Wizet owned the game (before Nexon / IVP took over). It's amazing how much worse it's become in reguards to RWTing.

Figured I'd post this here as well as in the No More BXPW thread as this classes as future content and I haven't seen info on it anywhere else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3D8nPJu1U

I've just come to a realization about something. They nerfed experience gains through making effigies more rare, then released the Squeal of Fortune. Now they're removing BXPW's... but what are they replacing them with? I was browsing the future update forum in search for teasers on next weeks update, and came across a thread named something along the lines of "We don't want Solomon". It caught my attention. Solomon seems to be a new NPC Jagex are releasing soon. He is mentioned in the BTS through the "New exclusive fancy items" area. I did some digging and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3D8nPJu1U Now, I don't know if they will be introducing EXP-boosting items through real life cash or if this genie is just selling cosmetic items for large amounts of in-game cash (which I wouldn't have a problem with). I see a similarity in the drawing style of this 'Solomon' character and Yelp's and his wheel of demise. If that's just me being paranoid or not, i don't know.

There are just as many games that offer micro-transactions as those that don't, so I don't really see you point regarding LoL. Comparing real-life athletics to an online game is, frankly, useless. They are too drastically different. LoL offers microtransactions in the form of skins and unlockable characters. A cosmetic change. It doesn't offer game benefits aside from not having to grind to unlock new champions. Selling coins here would in a sense be the same as selling summoner experience in LoL. In both LoL and RS you have to spend time to become good / professional. Why is comparing gaming to real-life athletics drastically different? Both require time and work. Gaming itself is or has become a sport, so I don't see how comparing the two is as different as you make it out to be. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have such a large amount of membership from promotional items that I wouldn't consider giving gp to get more membership. Would make more sense for people who have a lot to sell it for a direct profit (not that I condone such behavior).

All I know is it's messed up my minimap. The colors sometimes glitch and move outside of the lines where they should be. Also creates long black lines randomly on the map at times.

If I want to become the best at League of Legends, I can't spend rl cash to become good. If I want to be a top athlete, I can't use shortcuts as many if not most, are illegal. Why should I be able to do it here? Just because cheat mode is possible to implement, doesn't mean it should be activated. Buying spins is bad enough, there's no need for a coin shop.

Mmmm, like I thought. Norwegian keyboards can't switch targets without right-clicking the microscopic minimize button on the action bar and clicking "Next / Previous Target" there. :(

I would've thought that the key would be defined by the usual location (rather than which key it is literally on) since standard UK and Us qwerty and azerty all have [ and ] at the end of the first line of letters on the same key as { and }.I mean my keyboard where the tild isn't on the usual tild key (next to 1) the button next to 1 still opens dev console. The spot they would be on if my keyboard was a uk/us keyboard has "å" and " ¨ ". Guess since you can't type while using hotkeys it should work. Will try once I can get on in a few minutes. I'd like them to roll out the rebindable feature for them soon either way.

So... I can't actually use the targeting system without manually changing my keyboards keys. [ and ] are additions to 8 and 9 on my keyboard, and i allready use those for abilities. Overall the updates seem good.

Will be next month I think. Sounds like no update next week as well going by him saying there will be more about the Gielinor games in next week's video. Looking forward to the quest. |^_^|

They finally realized. :P Doesn't matter to me, I don't need exp these days. The next step I see is buyable bonus exp like with the refer-a-sideaccount.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the point of my vanity item videos is to show people them. The commentary is just filler which would otherwise consist of only Runescape music. Been doing this since the first katana was released and am only missing the golden scythe for obvious reasons. There is a written step-by-step guide in my video desription as well for those who like that more. :P (Haven't made any money off my videos ever.)

I figure Jagex will be announcing how to get it soon, but for those who want it before it's announced, here's how i got mine as well as showing it off a little: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkbBb-xc1s4

Al Myr linked to was the thread where the jmod posted that they were removing the exp penalty for killing things 30 to 50 levels under your combat.

Have a video up for people who want to take a closer look at it. I also explain how i got mine. (Still through amazon, but without making any fake information.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkbBb-xc1s4

Yes. Your slayer points depend on how much you contributed though.

K, so with Max DirectX graphics, Varrock has (yet again) got a memory leak which lowers me from 40 fps to 1 fps. Like the 5 other times this has happened, turning textures of fixes the problem. The Games preperations wasn't much, but i guess I can snatch up some points before the real thing. Shop is locked until the games begin. Ok update, but I wish they wouldn't introduce memory leaks for Varrock every time they change something in the square.

At least make the toolbar-ish thing in the client closable or hidable. I use the client BECAUSE I don't want that there. Social slayer is ok for people who like being social. Exactly how I was expected it to be. Going to try the games in Varrock now.

It disappeard way longer than a few days ago. :P

Quickchat T>I>2>200 = 200m glasses So... when is the golden katana being released...?

Why would someone who likes simplicity, quit Runescape for a game that does not-simplistic things better than Runescape's not simplistic thing? Just becausesome random other game 'does complex gameplay better' doesn't mean I'm going to quit to play that game. I like the change and think it needs fine-tuning. That's what the beta is for after all. Runescape doesn't evolve around combat either like many MMo's do. There are tons of skillers who do combat as second priority or just don't do it at all. People scream doom about everything these days.

Finding new posts in forums I'm following is much more of a pain now, nor is it filtering right. If I 'view new content' It either gives me specific threads or just says "There is no new content." :?

Are you talking about the spin ticket drop from the green dragon? Yes. What are the odds of that being so conveniently placed there? :P

Excitement through exploration is long gone for me in terms of Runescape... until they release a new area. This happens with all games. If I started playing WoW now, I would have the same "Oh my gosh, this world is so huge and there's so many things to see and do" feeling like i did when I started Runescape. I loved Diablo... until I completed the storyline. The same happened with Minecraft, but that game is different as people can make endless amounts of new areas. I still get excited over gaining things i didn't have before. I'll feel really proud once I achieve my top endgame goals. Games run their course and once you lose interest, it's time to move on. That's how i see it. Another way I like to look at something is how the journey is a reward in itself, along with the experiences you gain through the journey. If you don't find Runescape enjoyable even after trying to get back into it, you probably won't get back into it. I'll never get the same excitement of exploring like I did at the start, but I find it in new games instead. I've never quit Runescape, but I have taken breaks or had some periods where I haven't played as frequently, but I enjoy the game for what it is and the direction they are taking it (to an extent, some updates I would like to see removed).

From a quick run through of the high scores, it appears that easily over 300,000 of those are free trial adbots :P Didn't realize those were put on the highscores. XD
