report button under chat does it in beta

It only applies to the untradables from what I've seen. So Extremes, super antis, overloads etc.

Few things I noted that are cool/interesting. Each melee wep is style locked eg crapier is a stab wep. And as for weaknesses there seems to be 10 possible ones monsters can have: crush, stab, slash, air, water, earth, fire, bolts, arrows, thrown. Also you can predict these weakness to an extent based on attack they use, eg mature grotworms use mage attacks and therefore have a weakness to ranged (their precise weakness is bolts) Where as players only have 3: magic, ranged, melee. Oh and bug: No way to cast polypore spell.

It's an off-hand whip (at least by stats) Judging by info in shop Excalibur = normal sword still Enhanced Excalibur = off-hand

Wouldn't hold your breath on client running the beta, seeing as theres seperate play links on the site for the beta and the client is hardcoded to load the normal game.

Why did I have to give Java permission to run? :unsure: Because Java asks for permission for each new applet. The beta game will be an entirely separate applet from the normal game.

I was under the impression that they will mirror all accounts at once, and than individually you will later have the option to update your mirror. This way is much mroe streamlined and efficient than upon logging in. They specifically said your account will be cloned when you log in to the beta, that was one of the first details announced about how the beta servers will work. It's only this week we got the info about the mirror updating reset and reset to lvl 1 functions. This way is more efficient as it spreads the server load out rather than trying to do all 100k odd at once thus helping to avoid any issues with various server systems lagging or being overloaded.

@Patr1ck Yes but we have been told the accounts will be cloned WHEN we log in and as you cannot dual log anyway there is no issue with us being on the main game when our account gets cloned.

:>>>> Didn't expect them to have a game update for it though. They are creating mirrors of everyone's account on the beta servers, and in order to do this everyone must be knocked off the main servers. Contradicts what we've been told which is your account will be cloned when you log in to the beta, also pointless in terms of server workload as cloning as each new beta user logs in means the cloning process is spread out and less likely to cause lag/issues within various systems.

:>>>> Didn't expect them to have a game update for it though. At a guess I'd say it's back end code required for the main game to differentiate our 2 save files (live and beta) and possibly also something to do with allowing beta reset button that allows us to re-sync to what our live account is at to work.

Eat at the computer, problem solved.

Good lord, hurry up Jagex. =P~ edit: Wow, double ninja'd. :wall: Double ninja'd all away across the sky!

Everyone who got in should get one.

Oh yeah of course when you do the tree run if branches are there by all means grab them, but it's certainly not worth waiting for them to grow before you do the run (If memory serves after health-check you then have to wait 20mins or so for first branch to grow but I could be mistaken.) and it's not worth doing willows opposed to maples, yews, mages once levels allow.

I don't think thats likely since most vanity items are tied to 30 day cards and the highest link we had is the 90/100 day cards and you can definitely get at least 2 years membs (I've had that much a while ago and no blocks came up) which means you could do 7 100 day vanity items (assuming you start at 0) at the very least and seeing as we only get them like every 3 months or so that'd balance out.

^July 7th all members get access at least for the weekends. I wish they'd hurry up I logged off after my slayer task to await beta thinking I don't wanna have to log mid-run to get in the beta asap and I don't wanna log into beta off in a dungeon with half used pots and familar and such I'd rather be at a bank.

Don't really understand how this stops the bot owner from signing it up...? Obviously all the 'afdgarga' yew-cutters might not, but there are plenty of high-level botters which the owner might be attached to, or might want to use in the beta to develop new bots to cope with the changes. Thats not the same, a bot dev signing up to try and fathom new codes is not the same as bots themselves being signed up, seeing as bots themselves have nothing to gain from the beta as they are not gaining levels or gp that is usable to them. And even then there would not be many, if any, because foremost bots are coded via the source code of the game and/or by using colours to click specific areas neither of which hugely need to play the beta to be reworked and secondly since the first bot nuke there aren't that many major bot devs left and even if all that remain did sign up there's only gonna be a very minute number of them compared to the normal players. Edit: And a point that I just thought of, though it is kinda of obvious, is any botter REALLY that stupid to launch a bot into a server that is being so heavily monitored? I mean sure they have means to spot bots on all servers, but the beta servers are going to be watched even more intensely to see how xp rates are panning out, how different gears are working, for bugs etc. etc. Taking a bot into that environment is kind asking to be caught.

Don't be silly that would an iq in excess of 9 and a dose of common sense, both of which are traits that disqualify you from being an active RSOF user as you're brian can't handle the stupidity and thus forces you to retreat to quieter shores like tip.it No. 1) The item in your inventory merely directed you to the webpage, you still had to sign-up. 2) The 50k spots aren't going out at random to anybody, you still had to sign-up in order to be entered for the draw.

People are saying this about the previous 6 for 4 offer. I bought that and have the ice mask but I've not been re-offered anything.

Shame I only re-upped my membership when loyalty rewards was released last year. I hit my membership year mark next month. If you subbed when loyalty arrived you should have hit 12 months in May and be heading for 13 months now. Fairly sure it was late June last year, cause I re-upped soon after. I'm cool with their decision to give people with 12 months open access to beta. It'd just be nice that accounts that reach 12 months later during beta also get full access. If not, there's still the weekend so all is well. It was definitely earlier, mine (and anyone else who had members day of release) hit the 12 month mark on may 28th.

Latest update is from 10.25 BST they started uploading data to the beta servers but it would take around 2 hours. We will get beta access emails shortly before it launches (assuming you are guranteed in or one of the lucky 50k)

Worth noting also that the Gaia guide is kinda dated and in current market values willow branches aren't really all that valuable, only around 900gp each and it takes several hours for the 6 branches to refill so you end up with only like 2.5k/hr income from it.

Timewise it'll be noon-2pm bst probably like every other game update. The 'not before 9am bst' quote was a jmod stating the obvious as in they don't start work until 9am.

Broadcasting spectrum doesn't have to be an issue. In UK with the 'digital switchover' all analogue tv gas been switched off allowing that whole range to be repurposed (in the next few years) for 4G mobile. And there's already talk of the potential for a digital switchover for radio (again ditching am and fm broadcasts for dab) and the growing possibility of switching off 2G cellular network as well since the plain phone usage doesn't need it and anyone who does anything using G-networks has new enough handsets to use 3G.
