It's really good. I didn't expect much but it's awesome. :) It's about 50/50 with the action and the teenage girl fanservice. If you ignore the parts that endlessly describe irrelevant details then the book is actually quite good in itself. Catching Fire isn't as good because of a greater amount of the fanservice, but I thought it was decent. I haven't read the third book but plan to. Thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind. :thumbup:

Lol, that's absolutely hilarious. :) As for the update, I got 50 + 50 gp...which seems to be actually really common. I personally don't have any problems with the update as is, but if it turns out the rewards are common then there may be an issue. I don't expect that to be the case, though. Good luck to everyone else spinning away. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! :rolleyes: <3: I'll be sure to keep my distance from you when you're hungry. :unsure: Yes! They should! I'll be sure to let the union know. :thumbup:

I have the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy from a friend for about a month now, and I really should start reading it already. I've heard very good things about it so I look forward to it. :)

Heya. :D I posted on the Introductions thread over in General Discussion before its untimely archival, but I thought since I'm still quite new I'd post up this thread as well! Runescape My Runescape name is Alaz, though I prefer to go by Alan. I started playing Runescape a loooooong time ago, though unfortunately not early enough for the fun scythe, party hats, and other goodies. Over my time on RS, I've gotten some decent stats and been in a fair number of clans and the such. Around 2008-2009 I took a hiatus that lasted about a year and a half, so unfortunately I can't say much about the "Golden Age" of 2008 that always seems to be mentioned. When I returned, I just picked back up, made some new friends, and did some skilling. Over the last 2 years, I've not done much "RSing," though it's not uncommon at all to see me logged in. I spent about a year with Fast Sc as a Captain/General, and I've now been with Team Penguin (world60pengs) for about a year and a half. I spend a lot of time on RSOF, also. So some of you may or may not know of me from any of those places. Real Life As for me in real life, I only just started my first year of college which has resulted in a significant drop in the time I can spend online. I'm currently planning to focus my studies on mathematics (w/ concentration in computer science) as well as philosophy. I'm also very active with campus organizations, so that's where a lot of my time is devoted. Tip.It & Me I've been using Tip.It for at least 5 years.... My Tip.It account was created a while back as you can tell, but I never bothered to use it until recently. I'm seeing what I can do about being a little more active since the community so far seems rather enjoyable. :thumbsup: Anyway.... That's me. Feel free to ask questions if you're interested. Be seeing you all around. :thumbup:

bonez, I think you're just one awesome person. Please do keep being awesome. :thumbsup:

Pretty good idea and would fit right into the layout of things. Support. :thumbsup:

Jonan is referring to [qfc]25-26-419-63586596[/qfc].

I inquired about this on one of the new Billing Support forum threads on the RSOF. One of the mods sent me a private message including the below statement. This is all that the community Jmods are allowed to say about it:

I've been told quite a few times that they're surprised I'm as young as I am! So definitely: age is not all that important, it's how the person carries him or herself regardless of their demographics.

Hey, Paul! Thanks for the welcome! :) Hey Disy, Requist, and Spydr, we're all in the same boat. I've lurked forever but never really actively posted. :rolleyes:

Like Devnull said, Steve was referring to banned account names themselves, not the names of accounts that have been banned. When someone has their name changed by a moderator because the name is offensive, that name can no longer be used by anyone for obvious reasons. I remember that being confirmed somewhere. The text Steve used in that particular case was a little ambiguous.

Yeah, Jagex do reserve some names, including high level account names and the like. [spoiler=Jagex Quote] Quote from [qfc]250-251-44-63441811[/qfc] page 10. As for me personally, only one name could get me to change my character name, and that would be Alan, for obvious reasons. I would love to have it. :grin: But that chances of that happening, I believe are unfortunately slim to none.

Helloooo there. As you can see to the left, I actually created this account back in September of 2010 but never really got around to using it much. I'm thinking I will try to do something about that over the coming few days and that might turn into months. Who knows? A little information: I prefere to be referred to as Alan. I don't play much nowadays, but I remain active in my clan and on the Runescape forums. Uhm, beyond that I don't know what to introduce myself with! I'm liking these emoticons. :arrow: :shock: :thumbsup:

I Don't Want to Grow Up Great article. This can definitely apply to me, as I am basically in the same position as the author. I really only play the game anymore to interact with some friends and the clan that I'm in. Beyond that, I can see how I'm sort of just stuck in my habits over the past 8+ years. Clusterfluttered Economy A great perspective on the economy - and I would never have known anything about the rares like that. Lots of good information. It's reassuring to know that new players will at least have a much better shot at making money so that they will be able to reach those that have played for years. Heck, I don't even know how to make 100k+ in an hour off the top of my head, so good luck to them! RuneScape From a Former Botter Very good article. I wish the best to Josh, and because he has the name Doctor Who I am sure he's epic for that reason only (I kid :P). But really, best of luck. I'm not one to hold grudges, and I cane relate to the reasons one might turn to in order to bot in the first place. I cannot agree with them, of course, but I can understand them. The way he presents the "negatives" of botting is also fantastic. It is a side to botting and macroing that people just don't share with others.

Hm, I wasn't aware that there was more than 1 drop table. On any rate, while it may be a large amount of work, there could still be pages created with these groups of items. It may be troublesome, but it would look quite nice.

My friend & I were discussing the Crew recruitment, when she mentioned the idea of simplifying how the Rare Drop table is incorporated into the Drop lists for each monster. How about instead of listing each item, there is a single entry of "Access to Rare Drop Table," which then links to a page that includes a list of all the items that could potentially be dropped. This would make the Bestiary pages look cleaner & more professional, in my opinion. Possibly, add a new row to the table, "Access to Rare Drop Table?" (with "Rare Drop Table" linked to the relevant page) Then, the second column could say "Yes/No." Anyway, just a thought to make it look more tidy. :)

Could I get an idea of the type of time commitment required?

Fremennik Sagas > Thok It To 'Em Saga The bold text should read Thok It To 'Em Saga. :) [Crew Edit: Thanks! I suppose that's what I get for copy/pasting everything, heh. ~Rien]
