Hmm, well, in the 4 hours I've played in the past 3 days (first 4 hours in about 5 months, actually) I haven't gotten a random. I now miss them, actually. Which is extremely wierd because almost everyone was screaming at Jagex to lower the rate for the past two years. ^_^'

Many questions: Comments in italics and green. EPIC FAILURE IN RED.

Yah, it was like this in the old wildy; just not as bad as it is now. But give it a few days. People are just excited for this update and wanna get a few kills. The noobiness will die down once they realize it never works here (at least in f2p) and is usually sucidal. Of course, you can get 10 kills an hour just owning these guys, but whatever. In the mean time (war story time), take advantage of it and get your kill count up. They're usually easy to kill. Alot are pretty stupid, they have no idea how quickly a pure can drop your hp, and go way out of bounds of just running away. Typical encounter; level 30-45 (I'm a level 38 pure) comes on my screen. Some are actual 3 itemers, others carry cheap equipment and attack you. I usually attack them to get my drops up (so when I actually get a real kill I don't get a steel full helm :P ), they fight back. After taking them down to a bit under 1/2ish, they usually safe like crazy or have no food and run. After depleting their usually cheap food (a good majority use trout, some use salmon, and a few use tuna), or having none, they run with either no food, or with a few peices left. Being anywhere from a 30 second-2 minute run to the bank, not including slips and going the wrong way (it happens :wall: ) this gives you plently of time to, for a lack of better phrase, totally own their butts and get their goodies. And usually, I get an ammy, a bit of food, and if they had a weapon, usually a mith or addy weapon or peice of armour. Not a horrible way of getting your kill count up, and make a little something on the side. :lol: NOTE: I know my encounter does not apply to 90% of your problems. It's just my personal expirence.

I see your point. No creativity whatsoever. They think it sounds cool just because it's a pure name; add a bit of creativity. And every number takes away the coolness factor of having that name by half. Sorry "s1r pu43 17492", it just isn't cool. The next guy with my levels that has the name "barney the dino" I will let him kill me just for the sheer epicness of that name. Sometimes, of course, names are good. I think my name "O H K O U" is pretty decent. Or I could have the same ego everyone else does.

this, except you need 59 mage for fire blast. ;)

But not when the people themsleves don't. I may bike a few miles to get one. Meh mom will never know. ^_^

yea, they are like that in my walmart. Except they have, gaia online and i think neopets membership cards as well. I thought Neopets was free to subscribe? :-s No, you can pay for an extra version for 5 dollars. Not as nearly as good as the jump from our f2p to p2p, but :roll: Not that I would know this. :lol:

I'm not sure what's wrong with giving f2p a demo boss. Seeing I have NOTHING to do in f2p (well, F.O.G I suppose, but that doesn't really count seeing I own everyone as a level EIGHTY :lol: ), I would certainly enjoy it. Anyway, random minor suggestions. level should be slightly higher, mabye 10 more, just so it goes above 200. It's not a practical thing, just a symbolic fact that f2p has something above that level. Second, I'm not sure why you would want to disaude the use of mage or range; what's wrong with it? Almost everyone in f2p is a meleer, including myself. I would suggest making them have a harder time. Other than better melee defence, I would suggest raising the rather low max hit to about 20-21. In complement, raise the range max hit to 19 and the mage to 17. The mage and range defences should still be high, but less so than melee. Other than that, looks pretty good. =)

Err, wow. :shock: Very useful. And long. I love both. :D 10/10

*coughcouchakwardwordingcoughcough*

having ADD, only thee and a half. Went from 56 attack-60. Total day: I played 7 hours in a day one time. Play 3 rounds of 2 hour sprints, then a one hour log on at night.

Very useful. Because I use rune armour frequently I don't put it in the box form, but because i use d-hide rarely, I put it in box form. I almost never use mind runes, and the times I would actually use them are situational and easily just bought for the purpose. So I don't include a slot for them. But wow, very good. 10/10. :)

let's see. runescape=life and taking away runescape from the equation; runescape-runescape=life. Because of the zero identity property, any equation subtracted from itself is 0, so runescape-runescape=0, which by the communative property life=0. I would have no life :twss: In seriousness (I'm not even addicted anymore, much less my entire life), I'd probaly play WoW. :lol:

GOD! I typed about 600 (no joke, around there) words and then hit backspace while not selected on this. :wall: Basically, make everything useful, 200 word example, mention of Aqua Raptor's incredibly awesome thread (35 pages), and this thread will most likely become popular. I'm too angry to type the entire :-Xing thing again (board needs a censor smiley). Maybe later.

For the sake of the method, this thread needs to be deleted. I'm sorry dude, but it just doesn't work anymore. It needs to crash, be bogged down for a couple of weeks, then slowly recover. In the mean time, I would suggest holding on to your tallies; wait till they get back up again.

My fears as well. People perfer freedom to anything else. Putting in details limits this freedom. Also, if you count a detail as a seperate update (it's not, but bear with me. Or say it's updates within updates, like pest control), then there's so many more 'updates' that can go wrong. So, word of advice to Jagex, limit details AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Seriously, people would prefer a system where you drop the first 40k of wealth you had, rather than a complex formula for the same task, with only slightly better for higher levels. Well, I guess it doesn't matter that much in this case, seeing you don't really have to memorize it, but you get my point. ;)

U @n bU11 h013!!!111 WeE @r3n'1 n0obs u n00ob no0b13!11!!!!11 Sorry, that's gets funnier every time i do that. :lol: He's making a point how Jagex definition of luring isn't broad enough for high level monsters, per se the draggonoth kings or the gwd of whatever that can beat the snot out of you in 10 seconds. He's also venting his frustration, but I mean come on, how can he not :lol: . Yah, we're not all full of oursleves (and it's more like 11-13. When you're 14 you learn some respect every once and a while >.>), especially the ones who are still de n0ob13$ (combat 80 anyone?). We don't have that much to gloat about, (I'm worth exactly 630k :wall: ). I mean, how long does it take to power level from like level 80-95? Three months? 120 hours of game play? (I am totally making this up as i go, I honestly don't know because I AM a level 80) I would want to show off after spending THAT long on the computer looking at a blocky (STOP. I don't play high detail) character shooting hill gaints in the balls with mith arrows for a month of so. Heck, I'd brag that I have the attention to even WATCH a blocky character shooting hill gaints in the balls for two hours every day.

No leet-speak or Caps On Each Word or misppeelings FTW Totally agreed. People get mad at me when I tell them stop talking ly1 1h$. :lol: High-Five! Joined when I was 11 in late December of 2005. Now I'm 14. I'm glad you like literacy, because that will be sure in heck useful in high school. I kid you not, in the IB program, i read (we do peer to peer editing) a paper that was written in internet speech. I hoped he changed it, because meh teacher would've been so mad. (it was actually a pretty good essay too :lol: ). So yah, don't fall for the tempation.

Won't know until it's released. But I'm pretty sure they'd find something to nitpick about. I mean, I know BH isn't perfect but it really does get a worse rep than it deserves. I'm personally looking forward to the update. I have some training to do in the meantime though. :? Eh..., no. It really does suck. :lol: Ok, it could be worse, but it really is just nothing, and i mean nothing compared to the wildy. Speaking of Bounty Hunter, the flood from that to the pvp worlds will be massive. It'll be so easy to transfer cash. In all honestly, it's pretty easy right now if your patient (and if you have a 40 defence tank at level 53, it's even easier). I'm going to laugh at transfer wars. I may play bh just so I can hunt like that. But seriously, something needs to be done to it. Best solution would be make it on 1 (mabye two for members), make it multi combat, a blanket 20 combat difference, two craters that are a little bit larger (3-80 and 70+ for f2p, 3-80 and 80+ for p2p) and SUMMONING. There, hillz pking. Perhaps just popular enough to fill two worlds. And if pvp worlds are a total flop, well, change it anyway. :P The Grand Exchange is already being affected. I'll bet a million gold that lobsters will skyrocket to 400 within the first week of the update. Heck, it'll probaly rise to 400 the moment it's annonuced in BTS. Everything that has anything to do with pking would probaly go up at least 50%. The runescape economy would be once again centered around player killing. Other than that, it really depends on how well the update is done. ;)

I'm delighted I got some many replys. I'll have to try all of these out. This sounds a lot like monkey guards. Hope there's no annoying spider to ruin your day. Since this sounds unique, I'll try this first. I've done Ankou's. They're not bad. I've killed the 83 cockroaches, but never the 54s. I do not need to cash. I have invested everything into air tallys, which have just kept going up. Unless god hates me, I'll have 500k by tommorow =D. you didn't read at all. Alex is trying to take a break from Flesh. i suggest moss giants at crandor if you want do roach workers. they drop stackables items (good stackable items) for me i have 70att def and str. they dont hit very often but if they do hit i get hit with 5's for you the workers might hit alot Hmm, i know what they drop in general, but if they hit sometimes at 70 defence, then that's alarming. I'll try them anyway. By the way, I keep hearing "my level" despite the fact i never mentioned it. It's 79, for furture refrence. >_>

Very nice. Simple, but useful :) . 9/10

The monster is weak to STAB. I just read that. Possibly a good weapon of choice after the ruby bolts?

Agreed with the Bush going to hell comment. Or at least going out of the White House. FOREVER! On-topic, we don't know. My educated guess would be late October-early November, but they said by the end of the year, so there's always that.

Hi. I'm f2p, trying to get my levels up. I've done flesh crawlers mostly, but i need a break from them. I don't like hills that much either (too tired of them -__-) Any suggestions? My stats are... Attack: 69 (11k from 70 :D ) Strengh: 68 Defence: 53 (I've been training this) Hitpoints: 65 (800 exp from 66) Prayer: 45 Range: don't need to know, and I'm too embarrased to say it, and i'm not training it at the moment(I do have enough for d-hide though) Magic: 58 I have full rune and about 200k to kill. So again, anything suggestions?

heh, i suddenly got obsessed with this. Not that my mere 79 could do much. :lol: Hmm, how well does magic work on the dark core and the beast itself? The idea of barraging the core has already been made, but what about the beast itself? Someone try blood barrage and ice barrage on it, and see if they do anything. If not, then vengance with ruby (E) bolts AND onyx (E) bolts and a dark bow, along with ALOT of sweet, a cannon, and of course the spirit shield. At the start, bring a DD++ and try to posion it. Then extra 6 damage would build up over the quite possibly 3 hour fight it could become. Wear spirit shield when not using the dark bow; use the dark bow special when possible. Use Barrage on the core. Run out when you need to heal; i'm not sure it restarts or not, but i don't think so. Ruby bolts for the first part, onyx for the second. I want to see a breakthrough though, I'm fairly uncreative. >_>
