stab or slash for my rapier
I think it's worth using the slash option at skeletal wyverns - however I don't really have any data or anything to back it up. But since they are weaker to slash than stab it may make a difference.

Trading in Pouches
That would explain why it NEVER loads for me. First thing I do is click it then alt tab, lol. Also same as why I couldnt get my own to work the other day, until I went afk for a drink and came back, et voila.

Would Runescape still be here without Fan-sites?
The greater need for fan-sites and external communities, the more the game company has failed to deliver.

Would you like to see GM driven events in Runescape?
Eh, just get Guild Wars 2 when it comes out. This will be based around Dynamic Content & spontaneous events. Also I think the mechanics of Runescape would severely limit what "events" can be held, outside the norm. You can't have a GM specific event, as each server only holds 2k people, and if you can't get on, then you are automatically excluded. I believe D&D's which are community supported - See, Penguins, shoot stars, fish flingers, evil tree, etc. Are sort of dynamic events in Runescape. Also Runescapes version of these side activities is to create a Minigame for it. Which provides plenty of variety, via the mechanics of the game at hand. That's without the death system in Runescape. Unlike other games where there is limited if not any death penalty. Lastly, because Runescape is a thriving game(playerbase wise) - with many automated D&D's and the like, there is no need for GM intervention or buggering about.

We already have a GM driven event, it's called bonus XP weekend, and we all know how amazing that is. The best thing Jagex GM's can do, is to do nothing at all. The less involvement they have, the better.

Magic & Cannon will kill them the fastest. Since you don't have turmoil you'd be wanting to do that I guess. Although you also don't have a wolper - or yak. But yeah since the lack of turmoil I imagine fire surge will still be a lot faster.

Slaying to farm effigies

The official World of Warcraft thread.
No like, top 100 World rankings. Just wondered if anyone followed the top guilds from here, since cataclysm is almost out the race to clear content will be back on and since 10/25 give pretty much the same rewards now, be interesting to see how top guilds approach it.

sth abt. rs prepay cards
Yeah i'd recommend changing your location to the UK, that way you only pay £3.50 a month if you use a debit/credit card. And your bank will charge minimal fee to convert your currency.

Lol, I was just making attempts at humour but I guess too many people take things a bit too seriously on these boards. Anyway I think the biggest thing they are lacking on shirt design - is humour. Taking RS or community memes would be more of a selling point than some logo that says RUNESCAPE on the front of a shirt. Whether or not it is considered nerdy is irrelevant as when there are a plethora of T-Shirts available elsewhere for cheap it becomes hard to justify buying their apparel. If Jagex was a small gaming company just starting out instead of a multi million pound corporation, you'd perhaps feel more inclined to support them. Or if they donated 50% of the profits to a charity (Blizzard donates 50% of it's store products to make a wish foundation) from the store. But unfortunately since they are just £2 cotton t-shirts from Bangladesh that have been stamped through a t-shirt press, you aren't going to get quality gear, so the design had better be at least, interesting or more importantly (in my opinion) humoures. As for basement dwelling, I'd take a basement over an office any day, damn England with no basements.

do you enjoy grind ?
It does say and/or, but unlike other people on this forum (not you) I can't be bothered to argue endlessly over something trivial. We have 2 different perceptions of what grinding means - fair enough. I also dislike the bonus exp weekend, as it forces you to play or miss out - Anyway then there is the other term "farming", if your not grinding levels you are farming gold essentially. However there are obviously things that don't constitute as grinding in Runescape - Being Quests, Achievements(kind of), Minigames, PvP. There are also 2 skills that do not constitute as grinding in a traditional sense. That is Slayer and Dungeoneering, however these may both feel repetitive, the scenario's each time are generally completely different (more so in dungeoneerings case)

do you enjoy grind ?
Whether you level a skill 5minutes at a time or 10 hours at a time. There is no escaping the repetitive nature of "levelling" in this game. Looking at your stats you've done plenty of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(video_gaming) Yes it's wikipedia, however due to the modern nature of gaming it pretty much sums up what the gaming community considers a grind. I believe the term for bonus xp weekends, is poopsocking. Ie, play for 10hrs straight. I don't need to give you any hints on how that term was derived.

do you enjoy grind ?
Runescape is, has and always will be a grindfest. I honestly don't understand how or why people start playing the game if they don't like grinding lol. Don't like grinding? MMO's probably aren't for you. In other games where you don't have skills - you are "farming" which is essentially, the same thing.

The Overall Easiest 99 Skill To Get?
I think this sums up the ease of woodcutting. Thx Ivy, lol.

What happened to this community?
Yes there is limited skills required for this game. Namely that you have at least one arm and a mouse. Everything is time based. Therefore the only way to be better than other people - is simply to save time. Or do things quicker. And yes believe it or not the majority of games turn into some form of competition if none is provided via the mechanics of the game - it's generally what keeps people playing it after the contents run out. If Jagex deleted the highscores, removed experience past 99 and reduced the xp required for 99, I highly doubt many people would keep playing it. Because the actual gameplay mechanics are crap. It's a clicking broswer game. The whole "fun" behind runescape is the grind. If you don't like it, go find another game to play/troll, since this clearly isn't catered for you.

Because teenage girls aren't hormonal rofl. And as for the shirt argument - It's more the fact Runescape's typically associated with your 14yr old school days. So wearing it at age 22 proclaiming i still play the Browser Java Grindfest, is kind of pathetic. Jeez, even i know its 2010. It's not THAT you play, it's WHAT you play now :shades:
