11,000,000 Smith xp is pretty damn impressive. :thumbsup:

Gratz on 98 Agility! :thumbsup: And your picture is great. I wish my "thought out, planned and carefully executed" pictures could be as good as your "rush job" ones. :grin:

No it certainly doesn't, and now I've learned my lesson about not mentioning them both in the same sentence. :wink: :lol:

Personally, I'd go for Mining but I'm kind of crazy and really enjoy it. :lol: btw - I love your avatar, shinn. <3:

It just means we have to work that much harder to rebuild the lost sense of community now that they're gone, especially in F2P. And gratz on the corrupt scimmy, Makkaravelho. Not bad for your first time at Revs. :thumbup:

30 hours??? I couldn't do that in my job (although I've come close), let alone in a video game (again, close :wink: ). That's some crazy dedication right there. No wonder those numbers are so high.

Of course she will. All the cute girls come to TIF. <3: [hide]MY TIP.IT BRINGS ALL THE GIRLS TO THE YARD AND THEY'RE LIKE, "HEY WANNA LARP?" AND WE'RE LIKE "YEAH LETS LARP--I'LL UPSTAGE YOU, I'VE GOT TEEMUPPET'S SCARF."[/hide] But really, we're a lodestone for feminine grace. I actually laughed out loud at this. Now both my girlfriend and my dog are looking at me like I'm crazy. :lol:

The community moved away from focusing on fun because the bot drove us away from the community. No, scratch that, the bots became the community. People aren't going to feel like they're having fun if everyone they see around them is a bot. Now that they're gone, we're slowly seeing a return of the sense of community that was once there.

Congratulations on 96 Woodcutting. :thumbup: I must say that your blog looks like an extremely interesting read, but unfortunately my slow work internet connection won't load most of it... :wall: I'm definitely going to check this out again when I get home. Edit: Excellent blog. I'm so jealous of your white partyhat. I wish I could stake like that. Of course I'd need higher combat stats...and possibly membership...and a better internet connection. :lol:

What a great idea for a giveaway. I'd totally have that mounted and hung on my wall. :thumbup:

Of course she will. All the cute girls come to TIF. <3:

W-wait, you wanted people to...reveal themselves to you!? Lordy! I'm totally going to RuneFest next year. :lol:

Blue crab and gissel potatoes? Sounds...yummy. :-X :lol: I still owe you 10M. :oops: Should help your bank a bit, eh? :wink: Hit me up next time you see me online.

I really like the new armor models. I'm glad there's finally going to be a visible difference between them besides color.

Congratulations! =D>

It looks more like a collection of characters done by various artists. The guy in the chicken suit is definitely by Teezkut, but the others are all done in different styles.

WH 40k? Yup. Now where's our cookies? Don't make me sick an axe wielding Champion on you. :P

Always good to see another pure F2P. :grin: I'll be sure to keep up with your progress. Are you focusing on any particular skill atm?

Most likely they had already prepared it in case they won the golden joystick award. Tbh, that's what I had thought it was for to begin with. When they didn't win, they could have simply recolored and renamed it and released it as the Bronze Scythe to celebrate getting third place. Or even released it to commemorate the death of the bots. Giving it to such a small portion of the player base seems like a waste to me.

I love Isla Fisher. <3: Too bad she's married to this guy... <_<

I'm disappointed that Jagex would spend the time and money on an item that ended up being given to only 25 people. I thought this was RuneScape, not WoW. <_<

So much for their long standing position that F2P is the game, and P2P is an expansion. <_< At least that sounds promising. I wonder what it could be.

Getting rid of bots completely is, unfortunately, impossible. The ones that remain are simple colour recognition ones, which have few features and are much more easily caught. People aren't going to pay much, if anything, for them so I think the viability of botting as a form of income is very quickly coming to an end.

Unfortunately, the bot scourge of the last year has mostly done away with any remaining feelings of community the average player might have had left. I've been seeing that slowly return now that they're gone but sometimes I'm afraid that the damage has already been done. Of course, that's not going to stop me from chatting with anyone around me that wants to. An hour of skilling and chatting with less xp is better than grinding max xp per hour anytime. :grin: Personally, I always try to attend when my friends achieve a 99 whenever I can, be it their first or their tenth. I don't know if it counts as being sentimental, but the TIF community has helped me maintain my faith in my fellow players and supporting their achievements has been a big part of that.

It's hardly Jagex's fault that Apple has chosen not to release updates for older versions of their OS.
