Blizzard have a great recovery system that works amazingly for WoW. Granted it's easier to get hacked on that, but the fact stands.
I think Jagex just use this as an excuse for people to play even longer and waste more money on the subscriptions to get their money back.
-
Nah lol.
The OP was just a joke.
However I do find it sad that some of the community enjoy killing the righteous defenders of all that is good.
-
I conclude all the players that kill the players killing the bots are the people who own the bots themselves.
Quite sad.

51 Prayer with 25M cash will go a long way. Train it up a bit.

Unless you have a rapier & maxed stats, a high range level can finish some slayer monsters off faster than melee.
Greater demons, for example
Gargs aren't too bad either
Are you counting in that the rangers lose ranged power from the armor?
However yea I seemed to kill them off faster when the RNG was on my side.
-
how many people do you see slaying in void?
You used to see a lot of rangers in it :P
-
Has anyone other than me actually tried this? I really enjoyed it when I did it.
I did it at around 80-85 ranged, and on slayer assignments. I found it to be a nice break from traditional safespot ranging and meleeing.
If you have tried it what were your experiences?
If you haven't tried it, I strongly urge you to, unless your ranged level is already 99!
-
SO slayer helmet definitely over void, right?
Except for on non-slayer tasks of course.
-
Alright.. thanks :)
-
eh read the post about dicing on this lol i dunno since i do not do it cuz heaps of people get scammed eh supercompost is better
Alright, thanks :D
And, random question, but do you know why can't I set a signature or an avatar?
-
think its mining for sure and wood.... patch 1)fally near farm 2)trollheim 3)behind catherby bank so camelot tele 4) ectophial tele then near the undead farm 5) ardy near farm also behind it
Thanks a heap. I might drop off the wood now I have all the pets obtainable from trees. Unless of course it's still better than everything else (bar mining of course)?
Also, would I use supercompost or just normal compost?
And, random question, but why can't I set a signature or an avatar?
EDIT: What's dicing?

I know you are opposed to farming but as a person who was once against it as well I must say: DO IT. I am actually happy that I started farming. Get to 62 and get those herbs going.
Other than that since you are opposed, MTK, dailies, etc.
Hm, the only reason I can't be stuffed doing herb runs is because I only remember 2 patches.
Can you remind me the running we do?
What tele's are needed and where do we go in what order? (or a link to a very small guide about it) please?
Sorry I ask of so much.
And thank you for reminding me of MTK I think I may have left some money in it.
eh could try barrows only a few pieces though are over 1m,glacors if u do the newest quest and have nice combat stats,slayer is ehh kinda ok for cash not like it was before whips are what 400k? lolzI would do barrows if my stats were better than they are now. Mid 80s ain't that good :P
EDIT: I still have 2.7m in it, that's where some of my money went lol!
I must ask though, what's the "good" resource balance now?
Mine is on max mining and half maple wood.

Buying power controls prices. If you want to see it as a money grab, that's up to you, but you seem stuck on this idea that costs are universally uniform.
Naw, lol, I said I completely understand, I just don't see how all these reasons combined = $3 dollars p/head
-
Find me a consumer that honestly doesn't want to pay less for their goods. Heck, if I had been able to pay in US dollars when AUD was buying ~$1.05 you bet I would have done it.
But from a non-consumer perspective, I can't say. I'm not in possession of all the information that helps determine pricing structures. I would imagine though that given all this data, the team of people that sets these prices, yeah, it does warrant $3 more.
I guess you're right.
I just hate how Australia seems to get ripped off so much by other, larger countries lol.
When I tried to buy a Razer mouse from the AU shop it costed 30 dollars more (plus more P&H) than it did in America, even though these were being made in the Asian region.
Though I guess that story is just blatant money-grabbing.
Anyway, I completely understand you, ll0rt, but however much evidence and reasoning there is, I still don't feel like that 1/3 the price is anything but a tactic to steal money from Australians. (don't ask me why). I'd be fine with 7. I really would.
I mean, if I didn't play WoW I would still pay for RuneScape as I would play it primarily but I would like to play both as they both get pretty boring after a while, and you don't want to take a month off of either one because they're both pretty competitive.
-
Yeah greater DPS via strength bonus is better than defence.
You may take more damage from single hits, but overall you are killing the monsters faster so they don't do as much damage.
I understand and agree, however isn't it ironic that people say this, yet when people want to use (for (a terrible) example) the fighter torso, they're told it's better to use a torags/dharoks/guthans body? :P
-
Well, In terms of reducing the price you can always get the Loyalty discount after a year of subscribing , not sure what it would be on Australian Credit card payments (I assume that is what you mean otherwise you are comparing apples to oranges) as on Us credit cards its something like 17% off
Is that from Jagex because of new membership stuff?
'cause I was previously subbed for 2 years straight and I feel kinda ripped off.
-
Torstol runs with juju and MTK.
It would help to know your stats.
Hah, sorry. I forgot.
Also, anything but farming please :\. Even though I doubt my level is high enough, no farming :P

You have to factor in the EOS factor. The added costs of conversion can easily be nullified by the fact that the US has a much, much larger gamer base than the UK and Australia. So the fixed costs faced to provide the service are reduced, meaning that the price at customer end can be reduced.
Eg 1. $1000 bill fixed cost for some boat, 50 people.
$20/head
Eg 2. $1000 bill fixed cost for the same boat but with 200 people.
$5/head
So realistically, the cost is going to be much cheaper on boat 2. Now, I'm not sure what costs are faced by Jagex in the entirity, but I'm going to move out on a limb and say that it's much more complex than this and the margins are much smaller. So you can't simply take one factor by itself, you need to take in a number of them.
Alright, so point one that means that the American exchanging costs is nullified right?
Doesn't that mean that the Australian cost should be minimal? Not 1/3 of the Membership costs itself?
Let me ask you though.
All the reasons you can think of, do you actually think that warrants that $3 more per person?

Hey guys. I haven't played in ages, and I've had a steady amount of coinage for a while. I've been sitting around 32M since I hit 99 ranged and I was wondering the ways to make money.
Before I quit (December 09) I usually did random stuff to make money and I had a visage drop which I then used to merchant to gain about 40M.
I played again about 3-5 months ago and got 99 ranged via chins (and black dragon farming) and somehow managed to still have 35M at the end of that. I gave 3M to friends when I was done playing. At this time, d-bones were at approx 5k each, now at 2.2k which they were before I quit the first time.
So really, I've completely forgotten how I made money back then and I have no proper ideas anymore.
Any help?
Thanks, it's appreciated.

The answer is more than just this, but a main one is economies of scale. It also may have to do with costs of providing a membership service to us at all (costs money, albeit not $3 worth) in changing from AUD to USD or BPNDS. You cannot simply say the because the US value is [x] and the US membership price is [y] that we should be charged [x]/[y], because costs encountered aren't the same, and it'd be unwise from a business perspective to do so
Hm, that seems like the only actual reason.
I don't get how the American costs are basically a direct conversion of USD -> Pounds (GBP?) if not a minimal bit more, considering that these USD have to be turned to GBP because Jagex is located in the UK (right?) Shouldn't it be roughly the same for Australians?
-
Exchange rate doesn't account for exchanging and processing fees.
Fair enough.
If we factor that in I still don't think that equates to 1/3 of the cost.
-
Sorry if this question doesn't belong here.
Why does Australian membership cost 9.50 when American is like 6?
Exchange rate is ~1 AUD to 0.978 USD which means if the price was 9.50 AUD then it should be like 9 USD, or if it is 6 USD, 6.50 AUD?
I know it's like 3 dollars, but that is a bottle of coca-cola lol.
Also if it was a tad cheaper I could actually play this and my other MMO (WoW of course) without having to choose one or the other p/month.

I had 3 in 5 kills on a black demon task I think.
It may have been hell hounds though.
Nevertheless, congratulations :D
