  1. My apologies if this is in the wrong section, I'm a nwecomer here. I started off Runescape in 2004. I remember that clearly because the oldest seasonal toy I had was a yo-yo. Since then, I've progressed slowly, reaching level 90 in 2011. Throughout the 7 years, I have been on and of Runescape, finding myself too bored to both play it, and too bored with nothing to play. Finding Tip.it was partly due to luck, as I've had enough of stumbling around the basement during the Quest "Ernest the chicken". Until the day I got hacked, which I have no idea when, I have had a enjoyable hack-free experience, not many problems except for a few accounts of spamming (I was young...). I regularly logged in to try out some new events, quests (I was a member) and skills. Yes, I am a very slow player. Show me a training ground and I would probably die of boredom in minutes. I find more fun in doing Quests and Tasks, both of which, personally, gives me more satisfaction than walking around and killing off, say a thousand green dragons or lesser demons. Anyway, my account was relatively poor. I have a mere 2m gp in my bank, a couple of rune sets, and absolutely nothing of value. This is where I want to bring your attention to. I ahve absolutely no idea when did the hacking begin. When I last logged in, I was taking part the cryptic clues fest earlier this year. My account was still intact, and I logged off in the Jolly Boar inn. I've went on a mini-hiatus, regularly logging in to check on my account (perhaps once every 3 weeks? I have no idea). A warning came from Jagex to my email, asking me to clarify if I had been trying to sell my accound. I admit, I got a slight shock, but with all the spam mail I get from the internet everyday, I was wary that it was a hoax to get my password. So I simply went to check on my character. Still acting like a rock in the Jolly Boar inn. I breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing seemed off at that time. Since I was still on hiatus, I just logged off and forget about the whole incident. A few months later (I've lost track of time), yet another warning email came. I was indignant, just how many botters have got their hands on my email address? So I went back to log in, and decided to play Runescape again for a while. Deciding to go dungeoneering for a bit, I made my way to a bank and proceed to take my ring. Something seemed off. EVERYTHING was intact as it should be, but the large stack of gold (to me) was missing from it's usual spot. Thinking I had misplaced it, I tried searching for it in vain. Nothing. My bank is catagorised into sections, with commodity, runes, potions/food, F2P skills, Armors, "Fancy/Fun Armors", keys and P2P skills. In the commodity tab, my money was gone, but everything was left intact. When I checked my runes tab, all my runes were missing. The "Fancy Armor" section was untouched, but my Rune sets (platebody, platelegs, shield etc.) were pilfered. All that is left was a couple of Rune Daggers, some skilling equipment. In short, My account was simply robbed of all it's money and armor. Well, the shock registered in my mind, but that little loss hardly accounts for anything. After all, my accound still belongs to me, I've done a full virus scan and changed my password. What disturbed me was the fact that the hackers made the effort to return back to the exact location my character was in before they begin their enjoyable task. This lulled me into a false sense of security, since all I do is to log in and check if my character is out of place. Perhaps I was foolish, gullible enough to believe that my account was imprevious to hacking. I mean, really, a level 90 character with a bank that is worth about 2.5m in all? The absolute worse part is that I was ignorant of the hacking taking place. How could I have let my account literally get hacked right under my nose? I apologise and thank you for your time if you have taken the time to read my rant (or story?). I wanted to share my experience, so that you, the reader, know to do much more than to merely check if your character has moved from his/her spot if you are on a hiatus. I probably would continue playing Runescape, since 2.5m isn't much of a problem to scale (I still have my stuff, except for armor). Except that I would take yet another hiatus. Guess this was my wake up call. Once again, thank you for your time, See you during the Hhalloween event!
  2. I don't know if this is old news ,but the Water Altar is the closest Altar to a bank (Al Kharid) for F2Pers since the Fremmenik ship conects the swamps to Al Kharid.
  3. Some random facts : The Ravens are named after Edgar Allan Poe. Seems Poe is missing. When you open the music track during the party ,it will state "Black Zabeth LIVE!" If you have Eek ,he will offer some random dialogues. Oh yeah ,i thought i had enough puzzles at dungeoneering ,but the Spiders proved me otherwise.
  4. this is not just maths...this is logic and maths...a very insane match that tortures my brain into jelly
  5. come on use your brains... i was staring at the post for 5 minutes...then i got bored then dragged my mouse around the page......then i kicked myself
