Wingless, First off, I have to admit that there are several errors in your article regarding the history of weaponry. Your statement 'Dragon and Runite weaponry have been around for a very long time, pretty much from the start of the game' is far from true. While looking at the history of Jagex updates regarding weaponry, it had taken quite some time for both rune and dragon armor to be released. While initially, the first weapon update (That I personally can remember) was the introduction of black weaponry. From black armor, it was not long until rune armor was released. It was not a small jump to the release of stat requirements for the use of armor and weapons, after all we don't want level 3 players walking around with full rune/dragon. I first bought a rune 2hander when they were initially released (player made only) and cost upwards of 750k!! Prior to the release of dragon armor came the release of Members only worlds, and hence several new weapons were released (though still within the old forms of mith, black, and addy). It was then that dragon was released, and with it a multitude of other update up until now. I hope that this clears up some of the 'historical' matters. Regards, Original
