I really don't see a problem with this IF the "rewards" here are purely cosmetic. The difference with this is you rack up points with this without doing anything in-game. You don't just get membership and magically have 100m and full torva appear in your inv/bank. With this someone could just buy a year of membership, not play at all and get a bunch of stuff. But, again, not really a problem since it seems that all these loyalty items will be 100% cosmetic with no real advantages. I imagine right after the update comes out the RU forums will be full of people complaining that these don't do anything besides looks. I'm gonna guess that this is also one of the reasons that video has so many dislikes. If they go and make stuff thats actually useful (extra inv spaces, high level weapons/armor) then this would definitely be something worth [bleep]ing about.

Whoever hacked him changed the name to that??? :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

For buyable stuff, fm is pretty cheap too, but it requires attention so some might not consider it "easy". Fastest possible skill for f2p is craft with cutting diamonds. I was just trying to find how much xp/h wines are and I read somewhere that wines are now made every 1 tick, same speed as gem cutting. If that is true then wines should be faster than diamond cutting since they are almost twice the xp per item. (I don't care enough to actually do an hour of wines right now to find out :P)

We had something, but then they brought RWT free trade back. On topic - If Jagex had dealt with this issue back in 2003 by either making the previous year's items untradable or simply making them available for purchace from the general stores or Thessalia then this wouldn't be an issue now. Old GE with the price limits wasn't really something. Phats were virtually unbuyable off the GE and the whole "street value" system was pretty messy. Letting the items rise to their 'natural' value really is better. Re-releasing rares is a bad idea. It would make a bunch of rich players lose a lot of their value and the rares would be worthless afterwards anyway so there would be little reason to buy them.

I've never been a member, but getting that much xp as a monster drop always seemed to me like it makes things unnecessarily easy (same thing with BXPWs).

yup, w113 is the f2p 1000+ total skill level server. so pretty much only long time f2p ppl or ex-members. its great because alot of the ppl on there have exhausted all the f2p content and mostly just skill or chat or mess around. pretty good server with a guarantee of almost no beggers/noobs. its the only one i've logged into since they added that minimum skill level. the problem with it is that all the good skilling locations are always crowded and the lower level stuff is left alone. still waiting on the 1500+ f2p server. :/ I'm still quite far off 1000 total but I would quite enjoy that. I imagine that there are far less bots on that server? 113 has a ton of bots still.

How the hell can Jagex let [cabbage] like this even happen? I know that people bot skills to 99 but 160M xp? :mad: I just remembered this one guy who posted in the Items forum (RSOF) about the x amount of gold ores he had mined in LRC. I think he was up to 170m mining xp or something. A few days later he got banned for botting. O.o

Seems like it updated right this time. I'll have to wait for the next one to break 150. :)

Might do an inv of 23 urns (2 open spaces with alch runes + gp) when I try to max an hour. I recall doing a 65k+ hour using a tinderbox to drop logs before urns. I'll probably wait til 96+ before I really try to max an hour so I should be able to match at least close to Troi's 82k. I always wc in the resource dg too, so bots/crowds aren't an issue at all. Because it isn't. Unless they're stealing mining all 'your' iron ores. ;_; There is 1 way I know of to beat people/bots mining who outping you. Bring a sling (or shortbow+arrows if you want to waste money). Play with shooting the scorpions between rocks (make sure you have it set to Rapid). Once you get the timing right you'll be able to outmine anyone (unless there's another rangeminer with better timing or ping ;)).

Flip margins for many items are much smaller, but the buy/sell limits are resettable now. You can buy 2 of a single rare every 4 hours, but you can resell the 2 instantly and if you sell them you can buy 2 more before the 4 hours is up. (Unless they changed it since I last flipped, which was awhile ago.)

Crashed items due to bots is better than a broken GE system that's controlled by manip clans where it's near-impossible to buy/sell certain items, for me at least. In f2p, the old wild system doesn't benefit me as much as the BH drop system, though. Unless I go kill rune miners.

Did a near-flawless hour fly fishing and high/low alching every fish. Inv of 20 urns was filled after 53-54 minutes (total 60k fish xp) and then I did the rest of the hour without getting more urns. Just under 66k fish xp (also ~54k mage xp for a total of 120k/h) should be pretty close to the max possible for f2p. I'll do the same for wc with willows sometime. :P

Attempting to do a "perfect" hour of fish xp > Get a maze random less than 15 minutes in FML, restarting ------ As for GOP for money, water tallies are pretty low these days. Still love GOP, though, and I never spent tokens for tallies on this acc.

I thought you couldn't get the 5M statue (ancient statuette afaik) in F2P. :mellow: Either I was wrong or your friend used a G2H on a P2P world. ...I just don't see why you would do that. I was with him when he lost the G2H (couldn't help him unfortunately), and he is pure F2P ;) V He posted this picture in his blog V Those were definitely p2p only in bh days. Highest f2p could get was the Bandos Scrimshaw (50k). Maybe they changed it so f2p can get all the statues from revs now tho.

Are the "attempt" speeds the same for every possible style of fishing? i would be inclined to think not. Okay, I've been harpooning tuna/swordies for awhile (because I'm lazy/don't pay attention) and alching the fish. Just ran out of FoG tokens for swordie gloves so I'm fly fishing to finish up 99. I'm alching the fish so I'm able to easily compare the attempt speeds. Based on the first few minutes, the attempt speed for fly fishing is definitely faster than harpooning. For high alching the fastest you can cast without interrupting the fishing is 1 tick slower than the max cast speed (i.e., if you queue up the next cast while the previous is still going). Tuna/swordies came in at exactly that speed if they were catching right after another. Trout/salmon have came in slightly faster than I can cast. This may just be because you are consistently catching fish every attempt. No. I've been doing tuna/swords from 91-98 and alching. That was the fastest possible speed for them to come in. Fly fishing attempts are definitely a different rate than harpooning. When you catch 3+ fish in a row all at the same intervals and have that happen hundreds of times at that same interval and never come in faster than that, you can be pretty sure thats the fastest they'll go.

I had spambots pming me awhile back. I know exactly who had put me on the spamlist too because he offered me a GE snipebot and was the only scummy guy I was talking to at the time. These spambots were for a manip clan, though. Haven't been seeing a very huge amount lately. Maybe pmods are actually being productive and muting them?

Didn't even remember that. Haven't made tiaras in ages. :P I could check on it when I do tiaras for 99, but that won't be for awhile.

Obviously not, seeing as hundreds of thousands of people play it regularly and pay for it... Quality is not determined by popularity, as a single glance at pop music of any generation can prove. Quality is subjective. Objectively, Soulja Boy's lyrics are deep and meaningful; and his musical genius rivals that of Bach and Beethoven.

If I had made some smarter merching moves (mostly around when free-trade came back) I would have a lot more money to blow right now :L

As promised: Tier 5! Tier 6 is not my taste, but epic emote. T6>T4>T5 imo. Guess T5 does look good with your outfit, though. :P

Just kept track of an hour of fishing xp, got 56k harpooning with swordie gloves+urns+alching. Just in case anyone's interested in xp rates. Also, @ Sonic's post:

I'm harpooning tuna/swords atm and high alching them. Watching the xp counter, anytime I catch a bunch in a row they come in at the same time intervals, so that would be how fast the "attempts" are. I find this interesting, but not really important enough to do any hard research. :P
