TaylorSwift

C'mon, Gandorf must surely be worth more than 500k and some threads :P

I have a feeling they'll drop once the returning players stop demanding them, and once the wilderness calms down enough for botters to start back at green drags. Also, the future update that makes ashes give prayer xp might dent their price ;) There will be a point when players realise just how much they're paying for their prayer xp. But that could be a while away.Or it could be tomorrow, its a bit of an unknown :P

The amount of time you had your last name for determines how long until anyone else can take it. Example: 1. I change my name to "Kanye West". Since I've been "Taylor Swift" for such a long time, it'll take months before anyone else can take it. 2. I change my name to "Selena Gomez". The name "Taylor Swift" is now free for anyone to take. Since I haven't had "Kanye West" for very long, its freed up 35 days after I changed to "Selena Gomez". 3. I change back to "Taylor Swift". 4. I change name to "Rick Astley". Runescape doesn't remember that I had the name "Taylor Swift" for a long time before this example, so its only reserved for 35 days.

Protect Item prayer doesn't eat up that many pray points...

Maybe its because people don't use the brews? Imo a super attack + super str is better, because hurting your def and hp is nasty, plus super restore only restores your def. Sara Brew + Super Restore works nicely. Zammy Brew + Super Restore doesn't.

Capescape! TF2 is to hats as Runescape is to achievement capes. ... Ok, not quite :P

Significatly, yes. Doubles? I doubt it :P

Never. I wouldn't readily accept free stuff from my friends either, unless they're either stupidly rich and/or seriously quitting forever.

Its happened to me a few times in clan wars and the like, although usually via retribution, rather than melee hits. Its always cool when it happens :P

I think a lot of people voted yes because they thought free trade would make them rich, without thinking about the consequences (ie that they'd fall for some lame scam) Jagex's new "weapons" again RWT and macroing don't seem to be terribly evident. I'm guessing RWT will incur bank rollbacks. Yet another slap on the wrist punishment that won't really do anything.

According to this graph, Runescape's been in decline for some time: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/runescape.com And here's an interesting article written by an ex-JMod (supposedly) http://tech.massivel...rns-to-the-wild

Imagining? No need to imagine when that is probably exactly who they are :P

MMH posted on my thread saying that there was a miscommunication. I guess that Mod Poppy was either wrong, or wasn't supposed to say that. Either that, or MMH is spin-doctoring again :P Page 62, at the bottom Quick find code: 129-130-874-62301629

I have nearly 20m stuff. I don't consider myself rich, and I'm not worried. I know enough about computer security (and apply that knowledge) to make sure that its unlikely I'll get keylogged or phished. My recovery questions can't be answered by anyone other than me, and my password can't be easily guessed or brute forced. Although I don't think I'm rich, I am a hacker target, mostly because of my name. I guess if an account trader got ahold of my account, they could probably make a decent amount of cash from it - But there's no way i'm letting that happen :P

Maybe the other less senior JMods don't want to answer the question without getting permission / confirmation from the ICU team, which would take so much time/effort that they decide not to bother? Its always possible Poppy did a boo-boo and she wasn't supposed to say it, either because we aren't supposed to know, or because its wrong. But really, it makes sense - Do you think Jagex really has enough logs to reliably know how much botting the players from years gone by had done, and how much they should be rolled back?

The list of players only includes botting players though, so if you didn't bot, no need to change your password :) And if you did bot, then you're going to get a big rollback or a ban, soooo.... gf :P

Maybe he meant that he tried to find the patch notes and stuff? Or maybe he's getting confused with another update :P

This is what I tell people who post on the RSOF, works for them: 1. (If you can log into the lobby, skip to step 5) 2. Go to the Runescape homepage 3. Click "Play Now" 4. Hold down "s" until you get to the login screen 5. Log into the lobby 6. Go to the Options tab 7. Click "Custom" 8. Switch to Software mode (or sit in Safe mode if you want) 9. Now try getting into the game :) It happened to me once - I had to sit in Software mode for about a day, but after that I was able to switch back to DirectX / OpenGL without crashing issues. Since you're not on HD, you might need to use Safe mode (which is what you get when you hold down the s key) Or you could switch to HD and run on min, although it'll lag like hell.

Mod Poppy did say it: Quick find code: 250-251-578-62307362 Yes, but she wouldn't have said that if she didn't know it was the case :P

I usually go with friends when dungeoneering. I don't usually have too many problems dungeoneering with randoms, although often I end up being the low level noob on the team (but I make up for it by maging, which is important imo since in dungeons the combat triangle matters more) Then again, I find that because of my name, I can usually sneak into clan wars teams with requirements I don't meet, so it could be that happening in dungeoneering. Possibly if I wasn't called Taylor Swift then they wouldn't let me in, I dunno.

Don't tell the merch clans that, we want them to spend all their money buying our ashes! :P Personally, I think that anything's good - More ways to get pray xp ought to make training pray cheaper, at least.

Well, the graph was updated every 5 minutes. It didn't check exactly on the update, the update wll be between two points. That's why there's no point with 0 players. Supposed the update happened right after the graph updated, that gives just under 5 minutes for 10K people to sign back in. A lot of my friends (who I know don't bot) don't log in right after updates, because they know stuff can sometimes be unstable. Me on the other hand, I love it. I'm always the last to leave before the update (sometimes I'll stay around until it boots me off) and the first to log back in. I'm not surprised that it takes a while for everyone to log back in. Its also possible that some players believe that the update may take some time, which they can do sometimes. Sometimes it involves multiple restarts. One update I logged into the game and joined the same world and then got booted several times over, because it kept restarting for some time. If you were staying up late to train a skill, and got the system update countdown, would you stay? Many players would go to bed imo :P

Well, this scammer is persistent... :P Anyway, here's some legitimate reading materials of a non-phishing nature: Rants -> "Banned Account Reinstatement" Quick find code: 129-130-874-62301629 Mod Mark H posts on page 45

Wooo, scammer eliminated :P

I've talked to Runescapers on Teamspeak and stuff, and the truth is that in the better organised clans, there's no shortage of "wrinklies" :P
