Both good articles :grin: Honestly, I actually tend to forget about the potential for new Dragon weapons. The first article reminded me about the many more weapons JaGeX could add. As for PMods, I don't find that I see that many. When I have seen them, they seem to be doing a good job. Fishing in the fishing guild comes to mind, where it seems bored players sometimes try their best to fall into the "Offensive Language" category. I think the PMods here have handled it well, trying to stop the problem without resorting to immediately muting.

In the "Killing Tormented Demons" section of the Tormented Demons Monster Hunting Guide, there are still references to the old damage system (before it became LifePoints). "They switch prayers once you have dealt 31 damage with a certain style. If you deal 0 damage, it counts as 2 damage to the damage counter. When fighting a demon with its fire shield active, it seem to switch prayers after approximately every 10 damage dealt with a certain style." -From Guide This should be changed to be consistent with the new LifePoint system. I am currently hunting TDs but I have not been able to tell yet if they change prayers after 301 or 310 damage. I am also not certain how much LifePoint Damage hitting a 0 counts as anymore. I would assume that "every 10 damage" would now be "every 100 LifePoints." Sorry if this isn't very helpful due to my lack of specific changes.

I played RSC and wish I still could, but unfortunately I let my account be inactive for too long once. :cry: I know there are illegal private servers out there now with plenty of players. These JaGeX made, player-owned servers would most likely only be better, and probably get much larger player bases as a result of their origins. Plus, the cheat codes are owner-chosen, so the servers don't necessarily have to have any cheats on them (as far as I understand). Some of the illegal private servers are supported through donations, a concept which could be applied to these new servers. This would bring down costs for the owner (or eliminate them) and still allow the players to not have to pay much. How successful these are will be mostly determined by the cost JaGeX comes up with, and if they think they have enough interest to even start them.

In response to the third article, I found myself thinking that I can completely understand where the author is coming from. I often find myself wondering, "Why am I spending so much time training?" My brother, who also plays RuneScape, also accuses me of never having any fun while I play. In the end though, I am enjoying myself. I find it fun, while repetitive, to train the skills I want to train. The reason for this is that throughout the whole process I know I am training so that I can do something else I enjoy more effectively. For example, I enjoy going to the Tzhaar Fight Pits with my friends. However, I do not find it fun to consistently be massacred, so I train my combat stats. If training was all I did, I would hate it, but because I train so that I can do something else better, I have a purpose and do not mind it.
