I never said most of the pking happens in deep wildy. I said that the two areas of action were either low-level single or deep wildy. And I said that boxing was popular - because it is. Now people will box and their opponent can't ditch them, or they can't be pj'd while eating up. I fail to see how that's negative unless you were one of the people who ran away or pj'd. No, the Duel Arena will never quite match what low leveled f2p wildy brought to the table in terms of potential drop loot (though KO potential in f2p is pitiful anyway 1-on-1) but it goes a long way to correct some of the issues that would have been around regardless (tele'ing from dm, pjing, etc) while correcting crippled design practices. I fail to see how that's "taking away in-game content" from F2P at all. Furthermore, comparing the Duel Arena to Clan Wars Arena is apples and oranges. You can't compare single-way combat to multi-way combat at all. There aren't really two areas of action for F2P pking; pretty much all pking happens in one on one fights in edge wilderness. Ever since the wildy was removed, all previous popular spots (Dark Knight's Fortress, Giants, Chaos Temple etc) many of with were multi never regained popularity. F2P pking is all about single way combat, and if the entire wilderness was multi there'd be no option to do so. The duel arena is not a valid replacement, as F2P accounts are limited to a max stake of 40k, which really isn't anything (in wild you can agree on making a risk with people, holding cash in your inv etc.) In addition, it's nowhere near the same.

Got this from sof: lol.

See the future = 'Sea' the future = Player owned ports. However, it's most likely a teaster to the actual PoP.

Lol looks like this bug still isn't fixed... This is the second time I've gotten this. :P

That's pretty strange. I never knew about this until now. Then again I don't exactly go around talking to bots :P It's funny in a way though, as anyone can see that they're bots.. the fact that they can respond to two questions doesn't prove anything lol.

I'm not sure about this, but I have reason to believe bots can 'talk' now (or atleast make some form of response). I was WCing on world 135 by Rimmington (I'm F2P) and after a while noticed a couple players who looked like obvious bots. All of them were level 4 and had gibberish names (with the exception of 1) and had strange movement patterns. Of course I didn't take much of this, since much of F2P is being botted nowadays, but at one point I noticed one of them started talking. It was in response to a quickchat question asking about WC levels that someone else had said. The level 4 character responded, but multiple times, and then finally with a message that just had a % mark in it. I thought it was kind of strange, so I kept saying basic sentences and seeing if the bots would respond. They did, however their answers were quite strange; posting a random symbol after their last sentence (%, $, etc) or posting 'Hi' (or Hello) in response, and then a sad smiley afterwards. ( :( ) Normally I'd just assume they were bad at English or something, but it was too much of a coincidence for all of them to respond like that. Furthermore, they were all the same level (4) and had unusually high WC levels for a level 4 (one had a WC level of 95, and his name was gibberish - I doubt anyone would spend the time getting 95 WC legitimately on an account that was named like a bot) I got a picture of some of the conversation: It seems a bit of a strange concept to consider - bots being able to 'talk' but by the way these characters were responding, their names etc made them appear to be definite bots. Not sure what to think, lol. Might try investigating this more. Edit: I'm not sure if this has been around for a while already lol, I personally have just noticed it.

Wow! I better subscribe right away!
