They released a version of the game from 2007 and they have updates every week, if you prefer that time period rather than the modern main game: http://oldschool.runescape.com/oldschool_index

Not sure what you mean here, could you elaborate? The first paragraph and his references to the Freudian id and superego lead me to believe otherwise I could write a book on this topic, but in a nutshell there's a bunch of "red flags" I see from various people which suggest that they aren't happy with their lives. And to be honest, whenever I see someone talk about their own "happiness" I usually take it with a grain of salt. For example, there was a time a while back where someone said "I consider myself to be a happy person" and "I get chronic, severe road rage" in the same post. Anyone who gets severe chronic road rage isn't a happy person lol. Or there will be people with depression talking as if they understand how happiness works. That's like a homeless person telling a billionaire that they understand how money works. Or there was a time that I made a thread about a very simple "shortcut" technique to feeling very strong, profound happiness... A technique which is endorsed by the president of the APA, which I learned from my old positive psychology professor in college. I've literally witnessed about a dozen people cry tears of joy for the first time in their lives after using the technique... Yet nobody on these forums wanted to try it :P Some of my friends in RL will talk about how "happy" they are, yet they constantly complain about their financial and romantic lives. These friends aren't happy. Maybe they're "content" or "satisfied" or "not depressed," but they're not happy. I was hanging out with a friend of mine yesterday cuz he quit his job (which he hated) last week. He told me, "dude it feels amazing to finally quit working there. I'm starting to see what you meant-- this freedom's awesome." This was another self-proclaimed "happy" friend of mine. They just don't know what they don't know. It also goes back to the locus of control. Long term consistent happiness is basically impossible if you have an external locus of control-- which is something that's very "readable" in others if you pay attention to the things they say.

Dude you just posted a story about being blinded by rage due to your paranoid schizophrenia. That's not happiness

yes but right now you guys see each other because you want to. once you move in, you're seeing each other because you have to

Alright buddy, I hate to break it to you, but you're an adult. This isn't how adults are supposed to act. I get you're a kid at heart enjoying pokemon and mmos, but there's a difference between that and not knowing when to move on. It wasn't working. You guys couldn't go two days without being at each other's throats for the last three months you were talking, probably. It was nothing bad jabs at each other that were rarely in the same playful vein that's usually used. You say passive, playful taunts, but in the end there was nothing but venom behind every single one. It was as passive aggressive as... these constant posts here and elsewhere. You're a fine enough guy but I'm sick and tired of seeing the same whining of this still months later. If you were younger, I would understand, but you're an adult and yet you sound like you're a 13 year old who broke up with their first girlfriend or boyfriend with all the dramatic and flair. I am not commenting on the dynamics of anyone else involved because pure and simple you two are done being friendly and you need to stop treating it like a wound still bleeding four months later. When it scabs over, stop picking out it, or you'll end up with a scar when it could have healed healthily when left alone. If you had cared, if it had really mattered, you would have done something when it mattered rather than (what is this, the fourth of fifth time?) vague-posting your teenage angst and looking for redemption not from yourself, but from others. So that the next time, if we get another next time, you wont have learned anything and we'll get the same problems and you'll end up on the curb again vague-posting and reposting stupid facebook memes about how your tortured soul gave all to the world and received nothing in return. There is only one single thing in this world that you control, and it's your actions. Think about how next time you should try changing them, instead of others. I'm not looking for a dialogue here or a reply. I'm telling you to move on so that next time you get a similar friendship you will have actually learned something to help it grow, not fester and become foul with toxicity. And if I hear "in my defense" one more time I'm going to punch a wall. A relationship, no matter what kind, should never be the kind of strife you two had 24/7. I am speaking from personal experience here. The scars are what makes you unique. Being plain and unable to stand out is a terrible existence.What? No way dude. That's the kind of thing that depressed people say to rationalize their depression rather than seeking to improve their lives and become happier. Scars don't make you unique-- depression is one of the most common illnesses in the world; it's easy to be depressed because you don't have to do anything. If anything, happiness is what makes you unique in these days. Finding a genuinely happy person is extremely rare.

Yeah, don't do it :lol:

I really like TIF, and certainly do not like the lack of activity and popularity, but the times have changed. It really is not possbile to compete anymore. The predominant way to get news nowadays, for RS is Reddit, Twitter, RS homepage/forums, and Twitch. The predominant way to access high level and very up to date guides is to basically watch the top PVMers and Skillers streaming themselves on Twitch. That's not going to change and there isn't anything that can be done with that. That's just the way it is. I disagree that there's no way to compete. I've been involved in a number of RS fansites over the years and each has been successful in their own way. You need to be able to adapt, you need to be ahead of the other sites with what you're offering and you need to do it well. This doesn't just apply to RuneScape, it applies to pretty much everything, not just games. Tip.It is probably not the place where that can happen unfortunately, but that doesn't mean it can't happen elsewhere. Tip.It has not evolved when other communities came up and each of them have taken a slice of what this site used to have. I've not kept up 100% with this site since 2011 when I was admin here but it looks like not a lot has changed in that regard. There were definitely problems back then and I don't see any evidence of those problems having been resolved since. So I agree that Tip.It can't compete but I don't agree that there's no way anyone can compete (which is what your post implies). It just requires someone with a great idea to come along and have the passion and commitment to see that idea through. I think you'd be better off creating your own ebook or private fansite/forum that you could monetize rather than trying to have a generic fansite that can't really compete with the wiki. There's plenty of niche topics in RS that you could dedicate an entire book or website to, sort of like that one guy whose name I've forgotten (qeltar maybe?) did back in like 2008 and the XP waste dungeoneering group did later on

The last time I consulted the Tip.It website for any game help was when 2007scape first came out and it was basically the only way to find info on the 2007 era... and that only lasted until the 2007scape wiki was up and running. I deleted my Firefox bookmark for Tip.It years ago since I never visited it; I only use the forums now

It's definitely not a traditional forum. There's far too many people, a lot of the dicussion is pointless - albeit funny - memes and other trash, you barely get to know the people there, and so on. It's mostly a townsquare kind of thing where you go to get the news, it's not a forum. The discussion there is very shallow, ephemeral and fleeting, usually done for popularity (though, with the like system that exists on this forum too, but posts on Reddit get hundreds of likes, whereas on TIF, usually a handful at most), and most threads on Reddit are forgotten about in a day or two at most, as they disappear from the front page, whereas discussions on traditional forums can last forever, and there's depth to them, it isn't just a transparent popularity contest. There isn't a whole lot of room for discussion on reddit... it's a very polarizing, circlejerk community. I was subbed to the 07scape subreddit for a while, but anytime I posted anything that went against the community zeitgeist, I'd just get downvoted into oblivion. If someone ever responded to my points, it was only to call me names lol There was a thread a couple of days ago where someone was whining about getting PK'd in Deadman Mode-- you know, the mode where when you log in, the first thing the chatbox says is "Welcome to Deadman mode. On these worlds, you die." Someone in that thread made a comment along the lines of "the point of the game mode is to kill people; it's not supposed to be a safe game." He ended up getting about 100 downvotes for that comment. 100 downvotes! Amazing.

I think he just wants his posts to be a bit more dramatic so he writes cliffhangers and excess conflict into all of them :P

I've listened to every piece by mitch but sadly i gotta say i dont really care for him. But it's probably because i only listened to him after listening to demetri martin and steven wright. I think mitch is clever-- which I admire in a comic; but he's never made me laugh out loud like demetri has. I'm sure it'd be different if I'd heard him before his influences doe. So i guess you could say i appreciate him and respect him, but i dont think he's funny, if that makes sense >_>

It's not cheating if it's consensual. Cheating basically means you promise to be monogamous but then you're secretly not monogamous behind their back while acting like you're still monogamous. That's why it's called cheating :P It's no longer monogamy even if it's consensual though.

Why do you think that she'll be devastated by rejection? Is she ugly or something? Why do you think they won't tolerate you dating multiple women? Did you give off the vibe that you don't have many options and only date one girl at a time?

While the author has about as much credibility as myself on the subject, being an undergrad it does show evidence of strong female roles in viking society. Caused by what caused American feminist ideals were rooted in; men were off to war - women picked up the slack and ended up doing well for themselves. I'd say the math works out
