This argument is really a matter of personal preference. As I cannot afford two consoles, I had to choose between the two. I ultimately selected the Xbox 360 for its wider selection of big titles, stronger multiplayer support, and it's the console of choice among my gaming friends. There's not necessarily anything wrong with the PS3, it's just not the console that suits my preferences. If I could afford both, I would have both. Also, before anyone tries to bring this up, I've had my Xbox 360 since June 2007 and I have never gotten the RROD. If you leave your Xbox 360 in a ventilated and cool area, horizontal, and don't play it for 12 straight hours, that should never be a problem. Like most problems with technology, RROD stems from user-error.

Altars and the Ectofuntus are disabled during the weekend, so you would be getting 2.7x xp max for prayer, when you could be getting 3.5x xp on a normal day. I don't think brawlers work either, but I'm not entirely sure. [spoiler=EDIT: Quote from Jagex]Bonus XP Weekend - Save the Date!

All I can say is, life's not fair, deal with it. At the time of the first XP weekend, I was only able to play for a little over 2 hours because my Internet at home was down and my local library only allows me to be on for an hour a day. But I never complained about it because I know that's how life goes sometimes. You either get over it or waste your time getting mad at something you have no control over. Personally, I'm for more XP weekends - it's a fairly unanimous opinion that the grinding is horrible, so anything Jagex can do to reduce the grindage should be celebrated and embraced, not shunned. I don't understand the argument that "it lessens my sense of accomplishment". Huh? Accomplishment? I didn't realize clicking 100 more times than necessary was and "accomplishment". It was my understanding that getting the levels was more important than the journey. As much as I enjoy the process of smithing, getting from level 81 to 83 in two short hours was even more fun. Nor is the journey the reason high levels hated the weekend. More people with overloads/unicorns/pack-yaks=more crowded bosses = harder for people who spent more time/money getting there to earn their money back. I obviously didn't and don't have levels to do that, but I am speaking on behalf of post-weekend ranters. As per the argument of accomplishments and whatnot, I agree that clicking the most is not an accomplishment. However, it's the after effects of achieving said levels that most high level players hate. I'm all for another bonus XP weekend that either does not include summoning and herblore OR caps possible xp gains for one skill at 25% of the xp of that skill (any additional xp gained past 25% would count as x1.1, regardless of your current xp modifier). [spoiler=Other Reasons from RSOF]"Jagex held a poll which stated that the majority of people were looking forward to the event. This means you are a minority." Wrong. The poll was not "Do you support the XP Weekend". Personally, I voted that I was looking forward to it as I was getting 88 Herblore from it and I knew there was no way they would cancel it. Did I support it? Of course not! -------- "Being against this event is selfish! Why do you care if somebody else has 99s?! It won't affect you!" Let's step back a bit. RuneScape - An MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer online RPG) It is Multiplayer. In *ANY* game there is *ANY* *MULTIPLAYER* focus there will *ALWAYS* be *COMPETITION*. I'm working towards getting my overall rank just under 10K, and that is competition. If suddenly you could get lots of XP, that will devalue the ranks worth. Rank 1 won't be as prestiogus as you might have earned it the easier way (which at this rate is 2x easier) I do care because it does affect me. I don't want everyone walking around with Steel Titan's and overload potions. They're hard to get for a reason. There is *ELITE CONTENT* for a reason. It's supposed to be ELITE. Giving 2X weekend is the same as cutting the elite content's requirements in half. -------- "Some people don't have time to play the game, give them a chance to earn some XP." That is a fair argument. Yes not all people have time to play the game. But to be blunt honest, why play? If I knew I had no time I just wouldn't bother. If you're going to play every now and again I would have to be again, blunt honest and say that either... a.) Fit more time to play RS in your schedule (which I don't recommend) if you want higher levels. b.) Quit. I don't think the weekend is fair for everyone else who had to spend lots of time when they could be doing things like you did. "Prices didn't go up! And if they did, they would restore." The issue is far greater at hand then just a few price rises and decreases. Take a look at Water Talismans 180-day chart. They started off at about 5.2K and SPIKED TO 13K! Just LOOK at that chart! Not only do I have to suffer by participating in the weekend, I have to suffer AFTER the event because the price might never return to it's original cost. I'm forced to pay a little bit more for more xp (which is fair) but at the end of the day I didn't want it and I would have much rather bought 99 Summoning with Water Talismans at ~6K each. Getting 99 Summoning after is more challenging because people hoarding months in advance. Prime example is today, once the news spreads (which it already has) the items will rise. I'm right, Water Talismans are ALREADY on the rise and the XP Weekend hasn't been announced yet! -------- "Not many people got 99 Summoning/94 Herblore/Etc" A lot of people have, thousands in fact. A popular thread a few months ago showed about 3K new 99 Summoners within the first few hours of the event. Six MILLION experience should never take you a few hours in an MMORPG. It's heavily unbalanced! -------- "It won't affect the game at that great of a scale" Thats' because the affects haven't taken place yet and won't until the next BXPW. Most people trained Summoning last time and got 99 Summoning. There were 138s everywhere (more common then low levels imo). Next up will be Herblore. If another ~10K people are going to get 94 Herblore and 99 Summoning (ontop of the people doing it again the next time) it will heavily devalue the game. Bosses is one prime example where they are supposed to be competitive. There is no competition when everyone is in maximum bonuses with things like Steel titans and Overloads. Oh, and don't even get me started with how it will affect Quest requirements... Solutions ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1) Call it out. I don't think we need it and I talked to many people who said they liked it, but didn't support it. If you're going to use the poll as an excuse to do it again, then you are sorely mistaken. 2) Limit it. Even then it's a bad idea, but it's meeting us half way... - Remove all buyable skills. Summoning, Herblore, Construction, etc will be left the same. The only skills you can train are the ones that are 'character development'. Resource skills will devalue the prices of resources when everyone's dumping all the resources they've received into the GE after the weekend. - XP Limit for each skill. This could be the best benefit, something like 1M XP per skill or something wouldn't be too bad.

RuneWiki saves the day. Rite-Aid :thumbup: 0 for 2 this week...... :angry:

I looked and was unable to find any. This is why I asked here. I'll ask him about Wal-Mart though. EDIT: Wal-Mart is not an option.

As the title suggests, I am looking for a list of stores in the US who sell 3 month RuneScape membership cards. Where would I find the list? I know Target and 7/11 have them, but the town my friend lives in has neither. Any help would be appreciated.

Nice, claiming a few things to be true en then with your last point indirectly calling anyone who would disagree and post annoying. I don't see how I'm debating religion or politics right now, but sure... :unsure: I'm open to discussion, but when it gets to "[rage]amg im rite and ur rong cuz i say so@!!@[/quit]" that's my cue to laugh and leave. I'd be glad to hear what others have to say about my statements. I'd prefer PM, but if it isn't considered spam, the thread works too... On Topic: 9. When family members freak out over small things.

People who resort to calling you a racist when they know that they're losing an argument. Anything related to race or racism in general. We're all one race, this seems rather obvious... :???: People who think science and faith cannot coincide (that's you, religious nuts and arrogant Atheists). Hypocrites who complain about religion being forced on them and then they do the same with their (lack of) beliefs. People who label ALL Americans as stupid/ignorant ONLY based on the South and California. People who claim to be open-minded but over-react if you disagree with them on anything. Anyone who thinks or claims to be better than anyone else in general. People who enjoy debating politics/religion :wall: .

Prices of everything from pre-trade limit days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lW7657zxSI

I would prefer not to use pots or other boosts, so I am limited to two choices (maybe three).

I'm planning on going for 90 Agility fairly soon, and I'm about to hit 80. From 80, should I continue training at Ape Atoll, or should I switch to Dorgesh-Kaan? Any help would be appreciated :smile:

That was an excellently written post. I can say that I relate to the way you feel on this issue. Some of my friends question why I play RuneScape instead of games like MW2 as well. I try to explain to them that this isn't just a game that you throw away when the next one comes out. You meet people like yourself on the game which creates a social community that has been unprecedented by any other games. Your character may just be pixels, but it's worth so much to you. I know I would be a lot more crushed if I was banned than if someone, say, stole $100 from me (partially because of the $270 I've spent on membs over the years, but still). P.S. Welcome to Tip.It. We need more logical people like you floating around these parts =D>

Firstly, here is a link for convenience: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=castle_wars.htm#layout If you look at the right side of the map, it shows a Fairy Ring, when that is actually part of the Balloon Transportation System. I double checked Tip.It's world map as well as the Fairy Ring map, and this error is not located on either.

Thanks much for the attempt, but that is the kid handing out Al Kharid fliers(I did check to be sure). This is a guy in a white suit I am sure of it. Im not sure if he is a random spawn but I dont think so? Does anyone know what I am talking about ? Again, thank you so much for taking the time to post a picture, that really is beyond the call, and the fact that it is another dude handing out fliers, shouldn't detract from the act, so much thanks again. -G. It can also be received from a Man (usually level 2) by right-clicking on him and pressing "Talk-to," I believe. Try around the Lumbridge Area.

Try "Dung Smith" CC. They are a clan chat dedicated to this sort of thing. They really are helpful.

Every person in your party (except yourself), counts as a +5% bonus (possible +20% with a party of 5). Playing larger dungeons, having guide mode off, playing with a larger party, killing everything in the dungeon, opening every door, and having complexity 6 should raise your xp/floor. If prestige is the problem (lower prestige than floor xp), reset your floors and start over from floor 1. I'm not sure about exact rates, but I hope this helps.

15,745 xp/hr. Yes, 63m xp in 167 days and 8 hours.

Every 10 days is more efficient for collecting. You have a higher chance of obtaining herb seeds/bird's nests/gems/etc. I personally put 10 workers on herbs and 5 on coal. I average about 3m profit per week.

DFS > Rune Defender for casual slayers (missed my type). Full Slayer Helm (2.5m total spent) Fury (bought for 2m one year ago) DFS (bought for 16m one year ago) Whip (2.9m three years ago) Dragon boots (400k 2 years ago) Barrows gloves (125k) Torag's Body (400k idr when) Torag's Legs (250k idr when) Quest Cape RoW/Explorer's Ring Total cash spent on gear: 24.6m Total cash spent on super sets: 0gp Total cash spent on prayer pots: 0gp Total cash for pouches: Whatever the shards cost me for Bunyip Grand Total: 25m (not counting the minimal monks and barrows repairs :???: ) I also use Enhanced Excalibur to minimalize inventory spaces. I bring like 4 monks per task and I do the whole task in one trip. I didn't buy DFS for strength or accuracy (I have 8 rune defenders that I haven't touched in a year), that does hardly anything anyway. I bought it for defensive purposes, as I tank every task. Sure, it's slower, but I can AFK (switching tabs) a lot easier without having to worry about potting or eating.

In 2006(?), I suggested that we have a portal to go back in time and fight in a battle of the godwars. It would be between (the only four I knew at the time) Saradomin, Zamorak, Guthix, and Zaros. The would be level 600-700ish and it would take many players to kill the gods' generals. Does that not sound very similar Soul Wars? EDIT: Oh, and that same year I suggested separate PC boats, and guess what update I hated most in '07. Yeah, the PC changes...

nachalo Jagex already has alternatives... -Pumpkin/Egg: Any Piece of food -Party Hat: Royal Crown -Halloween Mask: Animal masks -Santa Hat: Fez -Bunny Ears: Squirrel Ears -Scythe: Halberd/Spear/Hasta (close enough) -Yo-Yo: Eek I have the following rewards... -Rubber Chicken: Easter Carrot -Zombie Head: Eek again -Bobble Hats: Any generic RS hat -Marionettes: Toy Kite (close enough) -Easter Ring: Ring of Stone -Skeletal Clothing/Pumpkin/Reindeer hat: I don't remember the last time I saw anyone wear these anyway so don't ask for them -Wintumber Tree: Other trees in your house -Chicken Costume: Again, no one wears this anyway -Grim Reaper's Hood: Arhim's Hood, Slayer Hood, Void Mage -Snow Globe: Snowballs are available for every future Christmas event -Any Reward from 2008: Garbage rewards. You can still obtain the useless Cornucopia btw. -Easter Carrot: Your second shot at Rubber Chicken! -Web Cloak: Your obsidian cape should suffice just fine... -Eek: Your second chance at Yo-Yo AND Zombie Head! -Christmas Robes: Desert robes + Quest Cape Hood -Candy Cane: Black/Addy/Rune Cane -Squirrel Ears: Your second shot at Bunny Ears konets

Upon completion of Hunt for Red Raktuber, you must speak to the polar bear, Chuck, instead.

I love this idea. As long as the servers were completely separate from the current ones, I would love to try this myself. It somewhat reminds me of my RSC days.
