yea but seems stupid if u can wear green d hide yet u cant make it.. and nobody would want craft other d hides because they cant wear them now so it wouldnt make a difference.. sure green d hide is cheap but still

i dont understand y should u be able to die and NOT lose anything... defeats the purpose of death so i am glad that the element of danger is being re-introduced.. i stopped playing a few years back after the removal of wildy and free trade.. to me the game just lost a great degree of difficulty and excitement.. now there is a challenge and makes it more interesting..

While I have absolutely no respect for suicide (other than to save the life of another ofc) I'm also a believer in the theory of "those who are suicidal should hurry up and kill themselves already to put an end to their drain on society's resources and not to carry on that genetic quirk" I CAN'T [bleep]ING BELIEVE SOMEONE ELSE AGREES WITH ME!!! OHHHHH HAPPY DAY!! HAPPY DAY! Rofl, there are quite a few of us out here actually :thumbsup: That's incredibly insulting, Emerson. And yes, I'm being completely serious. I won't go into it, because it's completely off-topic, but still. emo much? No, but nice try. I've had people I've known commit suicide. Why hang out with such downers :thumbdown: dude do u even have a heart?? i know many people who have commited suicide.. its no joke.. if u think it is feel free to say it to my face while trying to hold ur teeth in.. honestly grow up u immature little [bleep].. yea its heaps funny when one of ur best mates die isnt it....?

all i have to say is welcome back to the old runescape :lol:

i didnt mean as in gravite/corrupt/run i meant as in scim, b-axe or 2h.. and yea staking for good money plus its fun and im not a member

wat is the best weapon to use in staking in f2p.. eg. b-axe, scim, 2h etc etc... do u want one that is quick or hits high or constant??

just raise str and range as much as u can and get 40 atk.. do not raise prayer any higher.. another suggestion could be to become a staker?? perhaps raise def to 40 and tank/range at duel arena??

thanks.. yea so far im thinking: atk: 40 str: 70 def: 1 range: max it out magic: 59 prayer: 44 hp: whatever it is thanks for the advice :thumbsup:

In business, companies don't care why you can't pay, just that you aren't paying (insurance/banks notwithstanding). Whenever this discussion is brought up, I attack the fact that the person does not/can not pay for membership, without regard as to why they don't/can't. At the end of the day, you are using a service, and "I can't pay/don't want to pay" is not a valid excuse for why a company should release something for free, ever. Compared to Western MMOs, Jagex is very giving. Find most MMOs that are freemium and none of them offer the same experience Runescape does, without the big stick beating you about the face to subscribe. I mentioned Asian free to play MMOs in an earlier post, and I want to expand upon that. When my MMO website was still in its infancy, I managed to get a talk in with a few Asian MMO publishers (many of these are republished in the West by companies like Frogster and Hanbitsoft). One of them told me that the longer an account is active without buying in-game tokens, the more likely they are to be banned for minor infractions. Why? Because after two years of playing without paying for service, the company decides you are no longer a prospective buyer, and therefore a liability rather than a potential customer. One of them, when I asked if they were worried the player would quit rather than start a new account, said that a good percentage of players (mainly ones with guilds) would set up a new account, and would actually start buying cash shop items (generally double exp and gear) to catch up to their old toons. As for the ones that quit entirely? "[bleep] 'em" is the response. You'll notice I keep away from using certain catchphrases that a lot of members use. Giving free players green dragonhide isn't going to dilute the value of membership, nor is anyone going to say "hey, green dragonhide is free. Guess I don't need this membership *cancel*," because the update is too small to have that any kind of overall effect on the game other than "hey, there's some better armor for rangers/mages/melee hybrids." What I am concerned with is how badly maintained the green dragons are already, with enough bots on members worlds camping them as it is, without a hundred more worlds filled with botters bringing down green dragonhide prices. I suggest you take a look at my website, because despite what you may take from this thread, I've always been a major supporter of subscription games going freemium ala Runescape (in fact, it's something of a highlight), and have a growing database with the purpose of helping people pay as little as possible for their games. I imagine even harder to believe is I have an initiative starting in February called "How Free Can You Be?" where I will be looking at various triple-a MMOs, as well as putting up interviews, with the sole purpose of finding MMOs with the best content for absolutely free. So perhaps this is just me spending far too much of my time in a business frame of mind, but I do have issues with how this would imbalance the green dragonhide market. not going to bother reading that but im guessing ur just argument is u want us to pay.. which i completely understand.. just remember this is a "rant" forum so expect some pretty wild and far fetched arguments and topics being posted and discussed.. i honestly feel as though this topic is completely reasonable..

that is exactly my point.. obviously there is reason that f2p remain f2p and it is none of our business to know.. for me however i choose to remain f2p because i simply dont play enough runescape to feel a need to upgrade and feel as though its just money wasted.. plus the fact that i havent completely mastered the free version of the game so y is there a need to upgrade anyway?? and because im happy with the f2p system in place atm y would i pay for membership for a whole range and variety of upgrades when all im really asking for is one measly little green dragon.. i was a member for a few months (2-3) and just felt as though i wasnt satisfied with the amount of actual time i speant playing.. so decided to just play casual f2p.. one solution i have pondered on throughout the years is to have 2 different member systems.. one being the premium membership which offers all there is to offer now and the other being basic membership which essentially offers more than f2p but not as much as there is to offer with complete membership.. thats something i believe many ppl would invest in because they simply do not feel the need to upgrade to something they will never use.. y not buy membership that offers satisfaction rather than meaningless quests, items, adventures that most players will never see useful.. just my opinion but yea feel free to flame me (i know its going to happen none the less)

just thought it would gain more publicity here sorry

We have dungeoneering bosses and in some cases monsters. I think KBD might be a tad bit on the difficult side for f2p though. i agree.. given the weapons f2p r limited too ill find it very interesting to see someone wearing such items and using very basic weapons defeating a KBD.. thats just my opinion though..

green dragons :mrgreen:

seeming as though f2p get green dragonhide they should at least be given the option to make it rather than having to buy it.. we should also be granted access to dragon bones.. prayer is ridiculously long and tedious to train so we should atleast be given some way of making it better.. not to mention that the green dragons do occur in parts of the map that are f2p... it will also make the game more interesting for f2p with the re-introduction of the wilderness.. u might see a few more people in there and have the wildy serve another purpose

reason y i said f2p guide.......

im already 41 prayer... should i leave it or just get to 44 or should i go 45?

any other advice?

haha wait nvm i forgot battlestaves r p2p and im not a member anymore :thumbdown: sorry bro :unsure:

everytime i log in my computer seems to crash but ill let u no when im on add me: archeryb0y

wait so do we make or lose money in this??

yea i was planning of going ranged based with a melee combination and figured i may aswell get magic to 59 or 60 just for the sake of it.. i have the means to do it and shouldnt take too long.. wa should i do in terms of prayer??

yea i used to do that when i played years ago.. back then u could easily sell lobbies for 250ea and was well worth it.. not so much anymore With the new noting NPC on the island, fishing is half decent GP in F2P. At 81 fishing i could catch ~200 lobs per hour which right now is about 40k/h. havent played for about 3 years and i didnt hear of this noting NPC.. where and wat exactly is it?? http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Stiles ahhh ok thanks.. was wondering y the price of lobbies have dropped dramatically since i last played
