I'm actually installing this update right now. :) I don't usually use IE, but the manufacturers of several pieces of equipment I service offer online training that will only run in IE.

Welcome to TIF! :) If you like chatting, you should join the 'Serpent Eye' friend chat in-game. It's the official unofficial Tip.It chat, always full of people and fun.

Every day it becomes more and more apparent that Orwell was right, he just got the year wrong.

Ohai. :) I certainly am! Gained yet another melee level last night. [spoiler=57 Defence] The dungeons of Daemonheim certainly are good for developing ones combat skills. Along with most other skills, and even a Dungeoneering level every so often. ;) I also gained these down there last night. [spoiler=51 Prayer] [spoiler=66 Crafting] [spoiler=59 Dungeoneering] Floor 30 baby! :grin: Nien, your tips really helped. While I'm still not exactly tearing through floors, my times have definitely improved. Last night I averaged around 14-15 minutes and even got as low as 12! \:D/ I'm still stopping for a couple of minutes to craft at the end of each floor, so that's extending my times a bit but it's hard to pass up the free xp. :P I got home really late today so I don't think I'm going to get a chance to try again tonight. I'm planning on getting my DG to an even 60 and then return to superheating. I've been neglecting my smthing, and with over 70k steel bars left to make I really need to get cracking.

The problem is that throwing an unwanted P2P trial at us that we can't opt out of or get rid of (at least I haven't found a way yet) is not the same as purchasing membership. I agree with you that people who buy membership should no longer be allowed on the list, but I also agree with the list keepers that the unwanted P2P trial does, unfortunately, give us somewhat of a grey area. Should someone no longer be allowed on the list because they derp-clicked and accidentally accepted the trial? Even if they never log into a members' world? What if it happened to you? I know I'd certainly be disappointed and upset if I lost my standing within the F2P community over something I hadn't intentionally done. Unfortunately, there is no perfect answer to this, only half-solutions that leave everyone a little unsure. Hopefully Jagex removes the trial, and with it this entire issue.

Welcome to TIF! :) This is an excellent RS community. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

Maybe it's their way of offsetting the poor solo xp rates.

Those are good tips. I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks! :) Last night my clan mate wasn't on, so I was solo'ing again and suddenly got this: [spoiler=57 Attack] I had completly forgotten to watch the 'xp to next level' and I almost missed the screenshot. :oops:

They started rolling out the updates. The botwatch system is in a state of passive learning, improving its detection as the days roll by. The anti-bot updates will be ready for a full roll-out next week I guess I got my hopes up when the botwatch system started running yesterday. It's the same calculation they use to determine prestige and floor xp in Dungeoneering. :P

No Botany Bay this week? I didn't think they'd try and cram both that and the Al Kharid update into the same week.

This argument was made many times before those bot developers were convicted (many, many, many times), and my rebuttal is the same now as it was then. This is exactly how legal precedent is set. Just because no one has been convicted for it, doesn't mean no one ever will. I will, however, agree that it is very unlikely.

I think my real problem is that I'm still trying to max out my xp per floor. This leads me to focus too much on opening up as much of the dungeon as possible, with as few deaths as possible, and tying to make sure I find/make as much armor as possible, which means I'm not always following the fastest path through and fighting more than I need to. Remember, despite my impressive non-combat skill levels, my melee skills are all still in the mid to high 50's so hand-to-hand combat isn't exactly my forté. ;)

They're very nice looking car. I looked into getting one when they came out, but as I'm 6'5" and pushing two and a half bills it's a bit too small for me. :P Good for you getting the manual version. Everyone should know how to drive a stick. :thumbup:

I don't know about advertising, but it looks like autotyping certainly is. About time, too.

Yesterday I was home sick (no, really *cough* *cough*) so I got a lot of DG'ing done. I gained two new levels, with a Crafting level thrown in for good measure. |^_^| [spoiler=57 Dungeoneering] [spoiler=65 Crafting] [spoiler=58 Dungeoneering] And two floors later I finally had enough tokens for an Arcane Blast Necklace. \:D/ Here I am all decked out in my skilling gear: Isn't it pretty? <3: I know it's not as useful as some of the other rewards, but I got it because I like the way it looks, not for the bonuses it would give me. Besides, I'm not really into PvP so that pretty much leaves Gravite weapons out of the picture. I gotta spend the tokens on something though, right? btw - up next: a Tome of Frost. My times are still pretty miserable, but one of my clan mates wants to DG with me (Saradomin knows why though :lol:) so maybe the times will improve with someone to hold my hand. :P

Because it's her birthday, the fabulous Ms. Gretta Garbo. :wub:

Woot. Thanks for the quick fix, Randox. :) And, of course, to Kimberly for poking her about it. ;)

There's also a big jump on May 22. Weird.

Except for possibly having a criminal record of tax evasion, which could exclude them from any number of career paths and have the IRS looking a lot closer at their tax returns for the next decade or so. Some things follow you forever.

There's a statement I never thought I'd see. :lol: =D> Like my dad always says, "there's two ways to do things: fast and right."

Yes they will. It was posted a few pages back. ([qfc]15-16-716-63990373[/qfc])

Wow! Congratulations to Winh. :thumbsup:

True, but it does have to differentiate between spam bots and people simply being annoying by saying "buying/selling x" over and over. This is a big improvement over Pmods trying to mute them as it happens automatically and runs 24/7. Mod Matt K's response to your query definitely brings hope that the system will become more streamlined and may even reduce detection times to a point where it takes longer to make the account then it does to detect it as a bot and remove it. :pray:

Dayum! That's some impressive xp. Good luck with 15M FM xp. :thumbup:

Today's update seems to be taking care of the ad- and spam-bots. Hopefully the skill-bots won't be far behind.
