  1. I'm not sure what kind's of support we can actually mention. They do like surprises for players and as a result, it forces us to keep our cards a bit close to the chest as well. I have a few cards I could talk about, but dont think I can. However To be general the ultimate goal to me at least is Content and Jagex/Player relations. 1) i See lots of people saying negative things about jagex, although I as a player have issues with some things, (Mainly rsc related) I think this could make the game environment more positive. 2) I would like to see content for our users, and So far, we have an exclusive interview, I think thats a solid start, and I would like to see many more. I would guess more interviews will occur, although I have no clue on the frequency. I wish i could mention other things we have discussed, but I really cant for now. Sooner hopefully than later though. I think it will be a very nice partnership for both parties, and I am happy with the interview questions so far. Although yes, some were vague, I actually was very surprised with the answers for a few and was very pleased. I'm not saying that because i'm an admin, overly i'm a negative person and I looked at this interview very critically and was impressed by how they handled it. I will say. Burn X would be no more of a macro than cook X, and I feel that would be an interesting question for a follow up ;)
  2. You are walking a fine line, I suggest you be much more mature if you decide to post on this thread again.
  3. Historically the Roman empire and greeks partook in homosexual practices, actually it can date back before to that.
  4. I want the pretty princess dress to go with my tiara. I do wear a skirt while pking though. So did the scottish, so no worries.
  5. It has to be considered a mature subject when you are dealing primarily with young teens. Considering jagex censors almost any word relating to homosexuality - from the word to slang words such as "poof" which is strictly a UK slang term. i would say it's nill to none that jagex plans to ever consider or contemplate this. I have to admit, I dont think the general forum is mature enough to carry on this topic without it getting locked and people being stupid enough to get into trouble by saying dumb things, however some of the posts here have been surprisingly mature and well thought out, so for now I'm going to leave it open and see what happens. Some groundrules: Let's keep debating the religous morality out of it (go to off topic for that), let's keep your own phobias and fears out of it and lets not bash homosexual's in ANY way.
  6. Edited for Clarity, Peter posted the interview at the same time I posted this. ;)
  7. Discuss the Jagex & Tip.It Interview here...
  8. Since a discussion in the thread was going, albeit off topic. Reopened it for the few carrying on the conversation that is not spam.
  9. But the fact she has no other options is not really anyones fault, I don't know where granny is at, but i'd love to sell her DSL, but the problem is most phone companies and Cable companies are either not going to spend the money or rely on goverment grants for rural areas. Has she tried to call the company? Audible Static is something as a paying phone customer they should be required to service (at least, most of the areas i'm familar with they have too) More than likely they can recondition or replace the lines. I know alot of areas that have had the old 70's copper wiring removed at last. I'd personally do/try an init string. They can deal with bad wiring better than if you dont use one at all. V92 support or not Infact they do work wonders in some areas (+MS=V34 does well in bad areas and they actually get around 30 compared to the frequent disconnects they used to). The problem with, if you cap grandma, shes more than likely never going to use it, never going to understand capping or use her full $50 worth even if she was capped. even if she was paying 24.95 for low end dsl, I doubt grandma uses it enough to justify spending it, it seems lots of elderly may use it for email only a few times a day, worth is subjective though. What is worth 24 or 50 to her, may not be worth to your worst downloader. Wouldnt know on water, I live in an area where I only pay for the electricity to pump it. I have my own well. :P However I view internet as a service, and not a utility, you pay for it to be their, not by usage; if you paid by bandwidth, I doubt isps could cover costs. Which is why tiered internet is a doomed and silly concept!
  10. Poorly Serviced Area by her local phone company, Any DSL Services rents lines from the phone company, some states like South Carolina, clearly don't have ANY highspeed options even cable. Typically The Cable/Phone Companies are to blame for poor equipment, not your ISPs. Is this a real case or the fictional land of oz? I manage a call center with hundreds of thousands of customers in the South of the USA (NC,GA,AL,FL,SC,TN ETC) Where phone line quality is AWFUL, and id say Dial Up Averages 33.3k on the worst most middle of no where places. Is grandma using an init string? new modem? new hardware? whats her OS? Ok, and thats a problem with the area, it's more of a problem of infrastructure that should be laid at the phone companies afeet not your internet companies who purchase the right to use the lines from the companies to provide DSL. It is, if you dont drive your car and it rusts, is it their fault? If you dont watch TV, do you get a credit issued for the night you did not turn it on? People try this crap all of the time, I didnt use my internet today, can I have a .xx cent credit? I get about 2 of those calls a week escalated to me because they dont feel it's right to be charged for a service they have not used for the day while it worked. It depends. DSL allots the same amount of bandwidth per person, as a DSLAM can only take X amount of connections and each port is capped at the DSLAM for whatever set speed you pay for. That being said, DSL doesnt matter if you are on a DSLAM with 90 users downloading a TB daily or 100 old ladies checking email, because that DSLAM is set for a certain speed max and max connections and if it's maxed out by either, they have to add more in a nutshell. Your ISP pays for a set amount of bandwidth monthly, and it's factored into your monthly rates, On DSL you want to purchase enough bandwidth to cover your busiest times of the day. You have the same amount of bandwidth on sunday at 4 AM as friday during lunch rush. You lose money in the sleep hours, as all phone companies charge ISP's for a flat rate bandwidth during that time. So who cares what DSL customers download, it's paid for in your monthly fee. Cable pools resources, so yes 10 users could use 10-40 percent of the bandwidth and yes that sucks, but capping it is a suicide move for the company, People who do use alot tend to be the customers you never hear from, keeping your tech support line costs down. And Mediacom tried this, most customers went to other services and that loses the company buisness that they dont want too lose. They probably still regret that.
  11. 99 Smithing will make this easier for me than others. I should probably go power mine granite to stout mine rune and do all of these with alot less issues :P
  12. Hi, I work for an ISP She could get high speed 768/128k DSL for 15.00-24.95 depending on her location; dont even need a phone line, you can get a dryloop/standalone dsl service. I know some of our DSL customers use DSL strictly for large emails and never browse the web - is it fair to them? Sure, most customers who don't go onto web pages say they dont want too or "are too stupid too". Their fault , not ours.
  13. Almost 20+ Days without buying a a DVD. BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
  14. Best movie seen for me? We were soldiers, Was powerful, left with my eyes teary and head held high proud to be an american.
  15. I can join the zombie party. I can shoot a bullseye for 250 feet with a riffle. But seriously. burn the zombies.
  16. This topic made me realize how different teen fashion and college fashion is. I Love those lightweight golf polos!
  17. Style is something that you cannot define or put a "go here to be cool". I myself am a mishmash of style. Polos and button up shirts, throw a sprots jersey on or grab a t-shirt that could of come from the 80's. My best advice is to shop clearance and experiment until you find whats comfortable to you. I dont think it's bad to spend money on clothes, but logistically, I'm 21, not growing any taller so my stuff should fit for awhile.
  18. Shadow Spider bug in classic was interesting. Very low key too. Also shooting members arrows in f2p in classic was very low key too. Knife bug was hyped for it's time, and the mmmmm bug. Digsite rocks were bugged too, some guy got 800k mining xp from them and was banned pretty quick.
  19. still have not bought anything. :P but in a wtf move, my mom bought me the two disc movie I never planned to buy or own or even watch... "I thought everyone liked it, it did really well at the box office, plus it has vampires and werewolves" I think she thought it was a horror film. :lol:
  20. Too true, when you stop complainng about updates, or content and have no view on the game anymore, then it's over.
  21. said user was banned. Honestly i'm suprised people click on these things...
