Jebrim

Paperbag actually did do laps at Advanced Barb for all of his Xp so far. He didn't even do Barbarian Assault for most of it I believe. He's done more legit Agility than most other top Overall ranks have done, so at least give him some credit.

Bizarrely* Why are you listing 3 former TMOA?

Jagex is not some single-minded entity. It was specifically the Old School team that invited them. These people are regular guest streamers on the official RuneScape Twitch as well, which the OSRS team dominates. Also bear in mind that Twitch streaming for RuneScape only first hit off because of OSRS, so it's really not that unusual for the OSRS to have more influence with it than the RS3 team.

Wasn't there some big decision made in another forum topic where the moderators decided they were going to be more laid back here? This one thread brings more people to the Tip.It Forums than all the others combined, so locking it would be silly. Just lay off and let us conduct our conversations as we please, regardless of the specific topic. Moderate only if things start getting offensive. And don't give some BS response about the forum rules. Rules can be changed. There's a lot of people here tired of the overmoderation being done by you guys. Moderating serves the purpose of resolving potential conflicts. What you may consider off-topic posts does not cause any drama conflicts in itself and therefore does not require moderation.

I was talking about iPau. I know about Ken.

Does he have a former name that I might recognize?

Who even is iPau?

Lover Romeo intentionally got it on Valentine's Day. :P #1 E-dater.

Jebrim II, only 3 months after you did your 9.4m record.

Jebrim's records were stored xp records (through Brimhaven or fpf) so no one really cares. But the first player to cross a 30m month at an actual course (which was actually like 25 days or something before going to the hospital with pneumonia) and also the first to cross a 9m agil week. My records were still #1 records even without the stored Xp, so stop trying to toss them aside like they were nothing. I also was the first to 10m week at Barb, so kkthxbai. :) I also did a 14m week at fpf EXCLUDING any stored Xp (including made it 19m), along with several 12m-13m+ weeks during my month record. Stored Xp did not create those gains. Gemeos, she is Obey The Cow. That should be blatantly obvious from how she speaks, her account name, her picture, and her location.

Link to post about it please.

If you wish to set a month record using the Runetracker system, you can begin that at any day. If you wish to do it using the system Jagex just set up, you are required to wait until the first of the month. If you decide to power through a month anyways from where you are currently, only a portion of that month will actually be visible in the record. All of it would be visible using the Runetracker system however. You can start your month record at any time. That's why it's superior.

[hide] oh god disgusting lol. Wait where is this poll. But I think favorite year probably has a lot to do with what times you had the most time to enjoy the game most. A lot of people are nostalgic about 2005-2007 which was ok but still didn't have the best game play ever and had some bad elements too as well as good but a lot of people had a childlike attachment to the game there and there was more socialization around it - not as much shame to tell your friends about runescape then. 2008-2009 saw a lot of positive gameplay updates to skills and the ge and tradelimit update the Ge was overall positive but made people not have to rely on others as much and the tradelimit made lots of pkers and merchants quit the community was super split and upset about this update, also at this time many people were growing out of runescape and started playing Wow/other games/ just moving on. 2010 saw dungeoneering, kuradels and icestrykes and for me 2010-2011 was the funnest in RS. Effigies came and were the first instance of free exp. While a lot of hardcore people hated effigies it gave maxed players and people close to maxing hope for more exp gains and probably started a lot of peoples wants for more exp past 99 besides the top of the highscore list. Dungeoneering gave more people reason to max and with its level 120 made people join in groups longer to train the skill - if this skill only went to 99 most would probably not get the chance to really enjoy it It created real high level enjoyable content that wasn't just bosses. Then came Sof and the nerfing of effigies- here we set the precedent that rs was pay 2 win and it was really rediculous they made updates and promotions to sof and Solomon store slowly and people against it slowly quit as well. Eoc came and some people really liked it but a lot of people didn't like it at all and the people that didn't like it quit. Then they added 2007 scape and it showed that alot of people still had the addiction/attachment to runescape but didn't like the direction it was going at all. But yeah I think overall people just grew up- had less time time to play throughout the years and rs went through distinct generations and people that start now didn't see the good and the bad. Peoples favorite year of scape will be the one they had the most enjoyment - probably from the time they knew the game enough to like it but not enough that they didnt have anything to do. I vote 2010 -pre sof 2011. [/hide] I would say mid or late 2008 is the most ideal time period. 2009 came with energy nerf, LRC, and Advanced Courses. It's restricted to very specific time periods, which is a big negative imo. Runetracker's and CrystalMathLabs's system of a sliding time window that is tracked is superior to the system Jagex just made that is also used by Runetrack and other lesser known tracking sites. It's why those other sites tend to do poorly in comparison to Runetracker and CML imo.

I think you misunderstood what I was talking about with RuneScape playstyle. Eldevin is just another conventional MMORPG, not one of RuneScape's style. What makes RS unique is not that it's a browser-based game that runs on Java (which is the only similarity Eldevin has with it), but rather because of the unique competitive skilling that exists only within RuneScape and not in any other game.

Because there is no other game out there with the same type of gameplay as RuneScape as well as because people have already committed a lot of time to completing their goals and they want to finish them instead of quitting and giving up.

There's no contradiction. You aim for achievements and spend all your time playing on the journey to reach those achievements. This is in contrast to a game that's all about completing the main story line or a first person shooter that involves playing a 20 minute match. In World of Warcraft, if you hit the max level, anything after that is considered end-game because the style of play changes. Instead of completing story-mode stuff, you either do dailies or Arena or Battlegrounds or raiding because the main source of content prior to that is no longer available (the story).

Welcome to Runescape, the game has to progress, skills have to advance. Some people just can't learn a game has to change. & lol, qq. you call this 'progressing and 'advancing'? this is just throwing bonus xp and stuff randomly into the game for more $$$ at the cost of the game going downhill fast. Or at the cost of getting more players because no-one wants to play a game when it takes 440 hours for every skill just to get to the end game. Nobody wants to play an achievement-based game that lacks challenging achievements to do either. And what is this "end game" you speak of. RS has no endgame as it's the journey that matters. RS is not WoW. After you max you make even larger goals of 200m Xp in skills. Maxing in 07 is only around 3000 hours and gradually shrinking. That's nothing. RS is a game that's supposed to never end. If you make it too easy to get 200m in all skills, you'll have a lot of people quitting once they reach the max cap possible since there's nothing else for them to possibly do.

Unfortunately your a very small % of players who are against the update. Most of the community doesn't want to actually train agility and sees this as a great alternative. There's very few left who actually value xp. I disagree that it's only a minority that cares about stuff like this.

Tbh when I made my video it didn't fully sink in for me just how OP this was going to be...

My vid about the boots:

I think we all have the right to judge someone negatively if they bot their skills. If you accept that as true, then this isn't really any different.

He told me he spent 2.8b on bonds, bought 200 of something (keys i think?) off the new SoF system with rl cash that I don't understand, and got 100 free. Idk how the system works atm, but ye that's what he told me anyway.

He told me he was beating my day record but I didn't realize Jon = Yo Blue. I assumed he was an 07 friend talking about my 07 record. :( Kinda sad that he srsly used SoF for it.

Yep. He told me awhile ago that he doesn't like the people on here anymore... Said he'd never post on here again. He doesn't even read it anymore.
