Those people who say that real world trading isn't prevalent in dicing: the leader of Dragon Dyce sells RSGP on a well known RWT site (I'm sure you know which one), and has sold over 500B gp. Thats a couple hundred thousand pounds. Just sayin.

And tezz. Been rooting for him ever since I found out he was British.

Who says those people only play Runescape? I play Fallout 3, NV, Dragon Age etc. on my PC as well as Runescape, and Drumgun said he was replaying Oblivion.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little, but it is mining related. I was wondering with the superheat method, how excatly does that work? I click the rock, then get on the magic interface and superheat the ore as soon as I get one? Then reclick the rock quickly? If I were dropping the bars, would I do that after a full inventory, or as soon as I've got a few bars? Thanks for the help.

No, its too late when the boulder begins to fall. You have about a second after the boom noise.

Having tried jad twice Yesterday, a word of warnimg; there was a hidden update recently that removed most of the sound from his magic attack. At the start of the fight, pray mage and if you hear a bom pray range. I have decided to leave the fire cape until my combat skills are a little stronger anyways

I recommend going for milestones. I went for all level 50 skills, and am now aiming for all level 70. Keeping stats balanced gives you more level ups and more rewards than picking off one 99 at a time. Although after all skills level 70, I do plan on getting at least one 99.

Tezz got 1b on september 20th, and has no idea who Gemeos is. He could have received 4b+ total donations - he did get all those shards a while back too, but I sont think hegot it in one go.

People usually obtain these experience rates by timing only for five minutes then multiplying by 12. With a definite skill like prayer, with set periods of time between each event, this is fine, but for a skill like fishing or woodcutting, any experience rate derived this way is absolutely worthless and should be ignored. At least if you're looking for an obtainable experience rate; if you drew a distribution of five minute experience rates, you would find just as many that suggested a significantly lower experience rate than what you obtained as suggested a significantly higher experience rate than what you obtained. Xp/hr varies if the time between events whilst training varies. In short, your xp rate obtained over an hour long period is far more reliable than that obtained through a lucky five minute period, and as such is more likely to be the correct rate.

I dislike how the first article compared respect for top players with religion; the two are nothing alike. I can respect a player like Suomi, without feeling the need to worship him or follow him around or whatever.

He didn't get 4b, he got about 1b (tezz) on the 20th of september.

To be honest I wonder about the demographics of maxed players in general, i.e. what percentage are male/female and what age. It'd be good if someone could make a thread like that on the maxed forums or something.

Wants to see this epic beard now. If someone could pm me the linky... Bet jdela hates the rank 3 spot ;)

Nice one s u o m i! Heres to a long reign as king of Runescape!

@ Sambo: sounds about right ;) Seriously though, if people cant come to a runescape fan site without being insulted over their playing time/donations, I think thats pretty stupid. And to contribute to the donations debate (my apologies to the horse) the only difference between receiving donations and dicing is that people are voluntarily giving you money in a donation, when dicing, people dont want to lose (obv), so in that sense donations are more respectable than dicing, in my eyes.

@ringworld id be interested in those pics, if you still have them. I was always under the impression that jagex treated the top players well.

In regard to the ads, using the client makes it remember, and its actually a pretty small download.

I'd be pissed off if i were in his shoes right now. Whats the point in working for a 200m when jagex will roll your rank back for something completely unrelated. Atm i think to myself whether jagex can do anything at all right.

What a bunch of idiots. They could have banned at least one bot in the time it took to rollback his xp? Way to prioritise. Also, i heard this glitch was prohibitively expensive? So perhaps people just thought that this was another fast xp/ high cost thing?

Ahem...I meant most cost and time effective log for non members. Honest :---) On Topic, how long do you reckon it'll be until SUOMI takes rank 1?

Since Maples are the best f2p log, and are used by many members hoping for a cheap 99, I figured they'd rise at bxpw. And since they're pretty unlikely to drop, (been stable since last bxpw) I figured they were a safe investment.

1. Zezima: Will always be the king of runescape, if only because when new players start thinking about runescape in a somewhat competitive manner, and begin asking who the best player is, the default answer is Zezima. He is probably the most famous player of any game. Hell, he was mentioned as an aside in the Times a couple years back. For an online gamer to be mentioned in a mainstream broadsheet is pretty incredible. 2. S U O M I: Combines dedication with efficiency. If he doesn't achieve 200M all skills, I would happily bet anyone that no one will. And he's a nice guy too. He spent a lot of time on his TipIt interview, and is always friendly in his TipIt forum posts and in game. 3. Kingduffy: I can't remember him not being near the top of the hiscores. 'nuff said. 4. Sparc Mac: Nice vids, and the PVE aspect of Runescape is one I am very interested in. 5. Hellfire46: Introduced me to the game six or seven years ago, so is one of my most influential players :P

*Gone fishing* :lol: Will be awhile till I get 120 yeah, I would prefer to come out straight on top if I ever get maxed. As for the cashflow for the prayer/fm/craft, not too good. Secretly hoping that a nice person or 2 who's fed up of scape by this Rs update quits and shares some bankloot with me XD Other than that, rocktail and the occasional herb run brings in like 60m gps a month, so it'll be quite awhile until I have enough unless the above happens :P Also Langer, if the screenie a few pages ago was real then it means that Richard (the number guy) is quitting rs after he finishes fletch and defence. So that would mean he's never even gonna start that long road :P I don't understand why you kept saying that you are against donations and merchanting (I never understood why you would say the latter), yet you just openly asked for donations L. You kept saying that you don't respect players who get money like that and that you're all about DIY. Kinda hypocritical don't you think? I can also add that you asked Elias for merchanting help and when you found out you couldn't do it well you bad mouthed merching again. I really dislike it when someone is hypocritical. I agree with Makaveli, I've noticed for a while that he likes to boost his own achievements and undermine all others. It's getting old pretty fast, especially with it being implied under a 'imo', or a so called 'non-bias' approach. Almost like a highschool girl talking smack I must say. Give it up. Yes, because his achievements clearly need boosting :blink: The whole point of a forum is to be able to post your opinions and discuss things without being insulted for doing so. On topic, I really hope this Richard fella doesnt quit. The number of inactive top players is quite disconcerting. As I said before, can anyone else remember the last time when both rank 1 and 2 were inactive?

@Kngkyle: Nice :P Also to the top players, a 10% boost is massive. I mean, if someone like SUOMI saves up effigies, thats a scarily large amount of xp he'd get just by doing a spot of real world tradnig.
