I got my comp cape about 3 months ago and I'm 15.

Check out the the goals and achievements section on the RSOF, probably will see endless amounts of threads all of which are people going for max cape.

You can tele there then pop in and out of the cave quickly and still get the 10% but can you do that with ovls in your inven? Overloads don't prevent you from entering the Wildy, they will just only boost your skills to that of a super potion if you drink them in the Wilderness.

I didn't mean viewed or treated differently because of what they like to play, I am talking about how people comment on your time spent depending on the game and how it is commonly assumed RS has much less physical gain compared CoD or something when in reality neither game has any true benefits which I explain my thoughts on in the op

While I was mostly using CoD just for a comparison about the wasteful use of time, I can see why you could say CoD would take more "skill" to play versus clicking endlessly on RS, but at the end of the day that skill is worthless and was devolved only because you had spent countless hours playing XBOX which is just as much of a wasteful way to spend your time as Runescape. But seeing as Runescape is played completely through your web browser using Java, unlike WoW or whatever which requires a CD and all that, I don't think Runescape is outdated at all. With nearly half of the game receiving graphical reworks over the past year I'd say that as of this week after Tuesday's update RS is at it's peak as far as being able to graphically compete with other MMO's that are also restricted under the same circumstances as RS. Seeing as when Mod Mark mentioned upgrading to HTML5 he talked about how their graphics team would no longer feel so limited because of how they are constantly waiting on new version of java's that will allow them to design the type of content they've really always wanted to but were never able to do while under the limitations of Java.

I guess how much you get out of RS within the typing aspect I mentioned would really depend on how, like you said, frequently you use lol, etc and how social you are in general, which I didn't really consider when typing this thought. It's helped me I think, while you say otherwise so yea, this is more of a personal thing that really depends on how you decide to socialize with other players and I understand not everyone may feel the same way. And yea MMO's have always been generalized as a Fairy Pixie type game which with just this bias can be a big factor on someone's opinion even without having actually played the game.

I have been playing RS for I want to say 6 years now, at first on maybe 3-4 different accounts until sticking with the account I currently play, on which I now have a Completionist Cape, over 750M overall xp, and about 315 Alog Days. Throughout this time, the people who I have talked to about my preferred type of game, Runescape, or other games similar to that of Runescape, have all reacted differently. While a few might also enjoy these types of games and some might not agree, but not be too judge mental about it and respect my opinion, if I had to guess I would say 80% of friends or whoever I am talking to about the subject, immediately comment on what either a waste of time a Computer Game like Runescape is, or how "Nerdy" they think it is, which in my opinion, is a pretty ignorant thing to say which I will elaborate on. Now while Runescape is certainly not the most popular MMORPG and MMORPG's might not be the most popular genre of gaming, the amount of time someone can waste playing RS compared to Call Of Duty or Xbox or whatever is the exact same considering that unless you were to violate Runescape's rules of Real World Trading there is honestly no physical gain to playing either game, XBOX or RS, other than maybe content the game developers have put into their respective games that might educate the player on certain small things that, while can be educational, wouldn't be considered or cause others to accept the game as legitimate educational tool that may be worth investing time into. Of course there are those who could try and argue that XBOX can be a worthwhile way to spend your time seeing as how if you think you are good enough you might be able to become an "MLG PRO" (Major League Gaming), or someone who is paid to perform in gaming competitions, etc.. However, it is common knowledge that this is a very unlikely profession that anybody could actually consider to try and live off of as their actual job, which is why the amount of people who have a job in this field is so scarce. Personally I would agree with the argument that sure there are much better ways all of us could invest our free time (Volunteering, Community Service, Habitat for Humanity type activities), But seeing as I am bonfiring on RS as I type this I have no right to judge others on how they spend their free time. But the problem is that people who say RS is a pointless waste of time are typically, but not necessarily, those who go home after school or whatever and spend their afternoon arguing with younger kids over XBOX Live, which, let's be honest, is what a fair few of us do most days when we have the chance to aswell, just on a computer while playing a different game. I would like to think I am not alone when I say while sure, the level ups and countless hours spent finishing quests and other content within Runescape is physically worthless and provides nothing more than simple entertainment to those who enjoy the game as Call Of Duty does to those who enjoy those types of games. However, with technology becoming more and more relevant in the real world with things like Computers and not so much XBOX 360's, Runescape is realistically a much more worthwhile product to spend your time on seeing as to communicate with other players you are required to type your thoughts instead of just talking into a microphone. This has probably been the most valuable lesson I have learned primarily from RS, since I can now type 105 words per minute which is "Quite Sensational" according to several online typing test programs and it's actually pretty hard nowadays to name a couple of popular jobs where being a strong typer couldn't boost your performance or increase your productivity. I guess this whole post was to kind of express my opinions as to why Runescape and XBOX are just as pointless as each other but at the same time how each can in their own way also benefit you in a useful way aswell that not everybody who jumps to the quick conclusion of games like Runescape being just an absolute waste of time while not really noticing how their preferred game is often just as much of a waste of time and how like I explain throughout this wall of text, Runescape can actually benefit it's players just in the way you simply communicate with the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to other's thoughts on this topic aswell seeing as it is probably an experience you all have observed one time or another. Also it probably doesn't hurt to note that we should all try and be considerate of others opinions and views on anything and everything, even if you disagree and think they are the dumbest person who ever lived. Especially because we are all only human and often may not realize things that others might have. Which, had you realized, could completely change your view on the subject. I'd appreciate that before posting your thoughts and commenting on mine that you try and be sure to understand what I'm trying to say throughout the post as I tried my best to make my views clear and understandable.

Awesome Jebrim.. & besides being much faster than barb outpost I personally feel like FPF is also a much more bearable way to train agil even though it requires the same amount of concentration and probably more effort seeing as you need to take different routes etc for each target. Even tho that wouldn't seem to be the case by what I just mentioned about it, idk that's just how I seem to feel about it compared to Barb Outpost. Also I will probably post another update of the top 15 on Thursday for October 4th through the 11th.

read the asterisk

Idk tbh. I have comp and 750m overall xp, with only 325 days played. No idea what that is valued at

Why give a donation? Kind of devalues their achievements. Jake already quit school for RS, it's not like he doesn't have time to make money..

Jake does fellstalks, and he's getting a good 3m herb P/d so cleaning herbs doesn't seem very likely. But yea, like you said he does have some money problems which I posted a picture of him saying a while back - Also, auras only last 1 hour as we all know, so sure they might do dwarf traders once every 2-4 hours depending on their aura tier, if whoever is training thieving during the update time period even has the Five Finger Discount aura. And like you said, monkey knife fighters are insanely click intensive and nobody would be able to sustain a good enough xp rate for a long enough amount of time to make the effort worth it, which is why Pyramid Plunder is a much more reasonable assumption.

Uhm, I am friends with Paperbag, Almostlost, and Alkan so for them sure I can just ask. For Dragonseance, Drumgun, and Jake I have friends who are friends with them so I can probably find out aswell. But for the rest idk, stalking them would be a bit awkward. For most though depending on what they have trained it is generally pretty easy to assume, like if someone got 30m Theif xp they obviosuly would have been pyramid plundering, or if they got 10m Slayer they've obviously been Powerslaying. But sure, I can do this for the peoples I mentioned above.

Let me know what you guys think !

Update of the Top 15 (September 21st to October 4th) *This update will only cover those in the top 15 who have gained xp between September 21st and October 4th, meaning the majority of the top 15 will be the same as the RS hiscores except for Telmo and Allar who will be replaced by Drumgun and Paperbag. Highest 5 Gains in the Top 15 These last 2 weeks: 1.) S U O M I: +45M 2.) Robbie: +43M 3.) Jake: +39M 4.) Number1 Boss: +33m 5.) Drumgun: +27m 1.) S___U__O_M_I: 4.739B (+45m) Top 3: Hunter (+39m) Farming (+6m) N/A Thoughts: Suomi recently posted his first youtube video in months informing us that his xp gains might slow down significantly. Despite this, he has been powering through hunter, recently having passed the 125M exp mark. He also seems to be doing herb runs and passed 175M farm exp. Upcoming Milestones: 150m Hunter and 200m Farm (within at least 2 Months if he maintains his current rate). 2.) Jake: 3.846B (+39m) Top 3: Herblore (+30m) Farming (+6.5m) Construction (+2m) Thoughts: Early in September, Jake had been Runecrafting, but after the nerf, switched to Construction where reached 52m xp. He then switched to Herblore, in which he has had some great xp gains in recently. On the day of this top 15 update, he reached 100m Farming Upcoming Milestones: 75m Herblore. 3.) Elvis: 3.573B (+21m) Top 3: Smithing (+13m) Firemaking (+3m) Farming (+2m) Thoughts: Pretty slow last few weeks for The King, who has been primarily Smithing, passing the 175m xp mark. Upcoming Milestones: 50m Agility, 175m Firemaking. 4.) 5129119bot (Elias): 3.523B (+22m) Top 3: Hunter (+21m) Slayer (+900k) Farming (+200k) Thoughts: Elias changed his RSN to 5129119bot, a pretty interesting choice. He has been very inactive this past week, gaining only 2.4m xp, 1.6m of which was in hunter. He also passed the 100m Hunter milestone. Upcoming Milestones: 125m Hunter, 125m Slayer 5.) Jdelacroix (Myrspixels): 3.518B (+24m) Top 3: Attack (+6m) Slayer (+4.1m) Ranged (+4m) Thoughts: After letting everyone know his thoughts about RS through his usernames over the past few months, he's changed back to the old Jdela. He's had some steady gains in Slayer, but hasn't had much else going on. Upcoming Milestones: 175m Ranged, 175 Strength 6.) Drumgun: 3.418B (+26m) Top 3: Firemaking (+24m) Slayer (+1.2m) Dungeoneering (+600k) Thoughts: Drumgun has been going slow but steady in his Firemaking gains in the past 2 weeks. He passed 100m FM Xp, and it is hard to tell if he is playing 10 hours a day using Maples, or 5 hours a day and using Yews. Upcoming Milestones: 125m Firemaking. 7.) Almostlost: 2.907B (+17m) Top 3: Strength (+6m) Firemaking (+4m) Farming (+2.8m) Thoughts: Almostlost managed to pass Telmo for the rank 6 spot this past month. He doesn't seem to have any goal in particular, having trained a good variety of skills in the past 2 weeks. He is also creeping closer everyday to that impressive 200m Farm Upcoming Milestones: 150M Hp, 200m Farm. 8,) Paulrat3: 2.761B (+14m) Top 3: Woodcutting (6m) Farming (2m) Slayer (1.7m) Thoughts: Since our last update, Paulrat3 passed the former rank 1, Kingduffy taking rank 8. He's been training a mix of Woodcutting and Slayer and is just a bit of xp off 100m Slay Upcoming Milestones: 100m Slayer. 9.) Kingduffy: 2.746B (+10m) Top 3: Hunter (+3m) Prayer (+1.5m) Farming (+1.4m) Thoughts: After being passed by Paulrat3, Kingduffy hasn't showed many signs of aspiring to get his rank 8 back. As usual he's been all around RS training nearly every skill he has left. He also passed 100m Hunter. Upcoming Milestones: 100m Slayer. 10.) Dragonseance: 2.671B (+17m) Top 3: Theiving (+6.5m) Runecraft (+5m) Firemaking (+2m) Thoughts: Since his amazing Summoning gains a few months back, now that he's back at school, not too much going on with the Efficiency Expert. Upcoming Milestones: 50m Agility, 50m Theif. 11.) Pope712: 2.607B (+21m) Top 3: Firemaking (+3.2m) Hunter (+3.1m) Prayer (+3m) Thoughts: Even though his top 3 skils he trained in the past 2 weeks aren't relatively impreesive, He gained nearly 1M xp in all his available skills. Not too sure on his plans for the future. Upcoming Milestones: 150m Magic, 50m Hunter. 12.) Chilly: 2.596B (+21m) Top 3: Dungeoneering (+9m) Woodcutting (+7m) Fishing (+3.5m) Thoughts: Looks like Chilly had been C2ing Woodcutt/Fish for a while, and recently started Dungeoneering. Upcoming Milestones: 150m Woodcutting. 13.) Paperbag: 2.571B (+7m) Top 3: Agility (+5m) Dungeoneering (+1.4m) N/A Thoughts: Dungeoneering seems to have shaked up Paperbag, who has now switched to agility. If Robbie and Alkan keep up their current paces, they will both most likely kick Paperbag back 2 ranks in the coming weeks, sending Paperbag to the back of the Top 15. Upcoming Milestones: 50m Dungeoneering. 14.) Robbie: 2.561B (+43m) Top 3: Attack (+15m) Slayer (+7m) Ranged (+6.7m) Thoughts: Just in this past month, Robbie, a possible new favorite as a contendor for 5B xp has gained 4 ranks, and entered the Top 15. Along with some strong slayer gains, his attack xp is really adding up. If he keeps his current pace he could be 200m within the next week. Upcoming Milestones: 200m Attack, 200m Range, 175m Slayer. 15.) Number1 Boss: 2.547B (+33m) Top 3: Attack (+6m) Smithing (+4.4m) Slayer (+4.2m) Thoughts: After being pushed back to 16, Alkan made a comeback managing to get back in the Top 15, now sitting at rank 14. Mostly more Slayer and Farm runs for Number1 Boss and if the past is any indicator, much more to come. Upcoming Milestones: Nothing In Sight. Monthly Gains of the Top 15 (September 5th - October 4th): 1.) S_U__O__M_I: ( +112M) 2.) Jake: (+59M) 3.) Elvis: (+44M) 4.) Elias: (+31M) 5.) Jdelacroix (+51M) 6.) Drumgun (+56M) 7.) Almostlost (+41M) 8.) Paulrat3 (+31M) 9.) Kingduffy (+22M) 10.) Dragonseance (+32M) 11.) Pope712 (+46M) 12.) Chilly (+39M) 13.) Paperbag (+20M) 14.) Robbie (+93M) 15) Number1 Boss (+75M) Hi all. This was my first Top 15 update post. I'd appreciate any feedback you have, and if you like it I will have no problem making another as it was alot of fun. Let me know if you spot any inconsistencies and I'll be sure to fix it up. Also big thanks to Sojurnitis for his layout, I didn't know about the sample he posted, but I tried to construct mine as close to his as I could.

+1

almostlost got 100m str & passed 100m Fm, while Jake passed 50m herb.

Jake started training herb

I like Gemeos'

Almostlost about 3 weeks off 200m farm, Paperbag has been pretty inactive past week. Elias got nice new rsn, Suomi hit 100m hunter. Jake passed 50m con and his xp gains have slowed down significantly.

i have 320 days played just on rs alone which is ~7500 hours and i have a few years to 21 lol

Agreed Lol

this + grats to richard for passing telmo :)

looks like he is, only 7m off 200m i don't blame him. Gertjaars renewed his membs and gained some xp today for the very first time in a Long time.

He told me dg@ span, he nice guy He's still doing his herb/tree runs even though he's runecrafting now which really hurts his daily xp, pretty sure he does fellstalks tho, so minimal $ there
