There is no contradiction between supporting a charity for disabled people with the aim of helping them, and not watering down your game to cater to people who are a statistical minority and unusual. That's like saying an Engineering Company who supports charities for disable people had better lower their standards and requirements so people with disabilities can more easily become engineers. Lives depend upon engineers correctly doing their jobs, none depend upon comp capers being able to do high tier pvm Our RS lives do :o! </sarcasm>

System update coming in approximately half an hour to fix issues with the grouping system no longer working/dc'ing/etc.

I'd be grateful to be alive after getting smashed by an 18 wheeler. Was it the driver of the Bentley at fault for the accident?

This might make people think twice about resetting to be cool; good idea.

Patch Week & Pure Resets We're focusing on bug fixes and other small updates this week, including improvements to Rise of the Six and a batch of tweaks from the Ninja Team. Pure resets are here, too, letting nostalgia seekers build the focused characters they fondly remember. Read on for further details, or log into RuneScape now. Rise of the Six The following fixes to the Rise of the Six boss battle make it fairer and more fun: Players are no longer attributed kills or counted for rewards if they stand between the two entry barriers and do not participate in the fight.Karil will no longer start his bombing run while still on his platform, and will no longer run back to his original position if attacked by a familiar.The range of Karil’s bombardment attack has been increased.The brothers can no longer enrage until Karil has finished his bombing run.Undead versions of the brothers will now be hidden underneath alive versions of the brothers if they are stacked.The Shadow Realm mechanic has been reworked.Ninja Updates The Ninja Team have been hard at working bringing you a big batch of updates, most of which were frequent requests: You can now use the RuneScape Authenticator in place of your Bank PIN. To do this, first set up the Authenticator on your account, then select 'Use Authenticator as a Bank PIN' from the Bank PIN Settings interface.Cooldown times are now displayed on the action bar. This can be toggled off in the Interface Settings interface.Beast-of-burden familiars can now be filled directly from the bank.Excalibur swords have been graphically updated, and the enhanced Excalibur is now protected on death.Gargoyles have been updated with improved graphics and animation fixes.The assist cap now resets at midnight UTC each day, and it's possible to continue assisting once the cap has been reached - albeit at no XP gain.Bert's sand delivery now resets at midnight UTC.Players on your Ignore list can no longer attempt to teleport you.The click area on clan avatars has been reduced.Chat tabs no longer flash when otherwise-filtered messages come through.The camera is better positioned upon entering the Araxxor and Rise of the Six fights.The Death interface now displays which items won't be saved in your gravestone.You can now click 'Esc' to cancel sending a private message.A broadcast is now sent when a player receives a five or ten-year veteran cape.The apron undershirt is now coloured black.Pure Resets We've brought in some handy functions for those of you looking to reset certain stats to create or maintain pure accounts. If you've accidentally gained unwanted levels in the above stats, these options allow you to undo that and get your account back as you want it. Speak to Nastroth near Lumbridge Castle if you're interested in the service. He'll give you two options: Reset Constitution and Prayer to level 1: requires level 5 or lower in Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic and Summoning.Reset Defence to level 1: requires that your combined Attack, Strength, Ranged, Magic and Summoning total at least 10.When these are done, any completed quests or tasks that require your previous level or always award XP in a reset skill will become uncompleted, and any rewards for completing them will be removed. Exceptions are the superior kyzaj, which will revert to a Bandos hilt, and the Imcando pickaxe, which will revert to a dragon pickaxe. Note that if you re-complete a quest or task, any XP lamps or Treasure Hunter Keys will not be re-awarded. Your position on the hiscores will be reset accordingly, although there may be a delay before this happens. The XP loss will also be reflected in your clan, and may result in a reduced hiscore board position for them, too. Also note that the reset may also affect your hiscore position in otherwise unaffected skills, as you will be moved to the bottom of any cluster of players with the same amount of XP. For example, if you reset your Defence to level 1 and have 200m XP in Fishing, you will be moved to the lowest hiscore position of players with 200m Fishing XP. Any unclaimed funds in your Miscellania coffers will be transferred to your money pouch on reset. Along with the requirements above, you cannot reset your stats if: You have already performed your chosen reset for your account.You have any items in your worn, backpack or beast-of-burden inventories.You have dropped an item or dismissed a familiar in the last three minutes.You have an item that would be removed by the reset in a Keepsake box.You become eligible for one of the resets after performing the other.Please note: any changes made through the Pure Reset system are irreversible, and will not be undone by Jagex for any reason. Enjoy! You'll find loads more fixes and tweaks in the patch notes, all geared towards making RuneScape slicker and more enjoyable. Have fun, and look out for Behind the Scenes - October this Friday, for details of a gob-smacking month of content. The RuneScape Team In Other News Got loads of spare Bonus XP?

The position of the starting horn imp is no longer random. Engine Fixes: Support has been added for the new ironman feature. Several server performance optimisations have been made so that some code now runs up to 8.5 times faster.

Goonception? He found a way to exploit the code so that when we banned him, an automated system continued making posts on his behalf. It will go down in history as the "Goonstalf Glitch." ---- On another note, the sunrise was so beautiful this morning...shades of orange lighting up the texture of the clouds streaked all over the sky. I was just out running, so no picture, sorry :P.

I'm a bit unsure what your video is about but you may want to change the title. If you want to sell stuff, the Marketplace forum is the best place for that. Also, if you have a video with profanity, as part of your disclaimer please put it in hide tags next time :).

Oh well then :P. You're more than welcome to submit your own next time...

You might want to check out the responses on this thread :).

Your PM/status appears to be off but you may add me or PM on here if you would like to chat about a clan :).

You think?

I know there was some confusion earlier on prizes, so I've just confirmed that it's 100 x 100M coins for today's prize :thumbup:.

It's called the bonfire update, added some time ago. It will give you more xp per log and essentially enable AFK firemaking. It also gives you a health boost for X minutes based on which type of logs you use, assuming you add 5+ logs to a bonfire. Look for a message in green in your chatbox detailing it.

Should be done now, sorry for the delay.

You would like both updated to that picture I assume?

It's more than just stats though. It's for the "looks" and "prestige" too. If the difference were purely the PvM stats and otherwise it were indistinguishable from say the Max Cape, no one would go for it. Wouldn't you agree?

That's an extremely dangerous idea. Do you really want to risk a perm ban on the basis that Jagex might be lenient? I understand people did it for, say, multilogging back in the day, but botting or doing things to arouse such suspicion almost seems like suicide.This is why i think jagex should reserve their fan site rankings for client mods. Client creators can have their creations credited and jagex can host them. Clients created for the hearing paired, colorblind, etc. Would be a great project for the staff working on the site, adventures log and comp app. That seems like one of those things that may be well-intentioned but too easy to abuse. Is someone at Jagex really going to go through all that code and check that nothing illicit is buried in there?

Are you?

What in the world is that?

I'm not sure if you're joking, but isn't he just a rapper/comedian? From Google anyway..
