Swing Doom

Thank you for your response. I've decided to give Fedora a try. When I open RuneScape in the web browser I get an error from IcedTea. After refreshing the page 2-3 times the game loads normally without the error, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what exactly is going on and why it works after 2-3 tries? Here is the error that comes up: http://pastebin.com/vjDBKs36

I've recently installed MintLinux on my laptop and am loving it. However, whenever I go to load RuneScape the screen sits at "Checking for updates - 0%" for a very long time - far longer than it does on Windows. I'm using the IcedTea Java that came with the distribution and have updated to the latest release of it. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it something related to Linux?

Aren't warband supplies untradeable?

What everybody is trying to say is that you shouldn't make a pure. Pures are useless now with the Evolution of Combat. Defence matters a lot more than it used to. If you want to make an account dedicated to PKing, you should train all of your combat skills rather than leaving some and training others.

Thank you very much. That was very helpful. :)

Here are my stats: What would be some good ways for me to make money? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this. I just recently bought membership for the first time and this account is only a few months old. Thank you!

Last I heard, TRR had been shut down. Has it been re-opened?

Right now I play RuneScape in the Java client between low and medium graphics settings. If I play the HTML 5 client, will I get the same results if I turn the graphics settings between low and medium or will I need to stick with the Java client?

The way I feel is that getting the XP should unlock more things for me in game that I can actually use to make my own equipment or make equipment to sell. Otherwise the XP is meaningless to me. I'm starting to see that RuneScape is probably the wrong game for me. It's a shame, really. I would like the game pre-RWT if the finishing skills were more useful. Oh well, thanks for your opinions.

News flash: Jagex wants us gone. They want the players who whine about these updates out of their games to make room for the people who are willing to pay for spins and RuneCoins. They want us to quit so we'll stop giving the SoF bad press. They don't care about us; they care about their profits and we can see that they've gotten what they wanted. You win, Jagex.

That completely defeats the purpose of playing a multiplayer game, though.

Personally I'm a bit angry that Jagex is releasing all of this brand new content when so much of their existing content sucks. While I of course don't think they should completely halt the development of new content, they need to seriously fix a very large portion of what they already have.

Perhaps some of you can help me with a dilemma I am having. As I was playing today, I thought about how skills seem to be useless. For example: runecrafting. Let's say I want to craft some air runes. If I were to purchase rune essence and craft it into air runes, I would spend more money than I would have just purchasing the air runes. While this may not be the case for more expensive runes such as law runes, I could make more money in another method and then probably purchase more law runes than I could make in the time it took me to make that money. So can someone tell me: Is RuneScape really just all about the skill cape? Is there really a point to having high stats other than being on the high scores? If there's something I'm missing here please point it out to me. This really stunts my motivation and I am thinking of leaving the game for good. Many thanks.

I just thought of a little feature I think would be neat to have on the clans section of Tip.It. Clan owners should be able to mark check boxes for if their clan is active in EoC, 2007, and/or RSC. Then when people search for clans, an option can be added to only display clans that are active in their version(s) of choice.

I agree completely with what Blutters wrote about the EoC. However, I'd like to add something to his remarks on skilling. As a person who is big on skilling, I want to describe what it is that I like about it. Skilling does have a certain grind to it. I cannot argue with that. But what I like is finding a way to work quickly and efficiently. Finding the most efficient way to train a skill is part of the fun. It's also fun for me to make decisions on whether I want to spend coins on a skill or save my coins but spend more time training the skill. This is just my testimonial on skilling, I'm sure others will chime in as well. Regardless of whether or not I agree with the comparisons made in this article, I definitely agree with its closing statement saying you should play the game you enjoy the most. Just remember the eventual fate of RuneScape Classic. It is as close to non-existent as it can get without actually being non-existent. Old School RuneScape likely isn't going to bring in new players once it's done bringing back people who quit. New players are going to be brought in by the latest version of the game because this is the version that is still updated regularly. Old School RuneScape is simply there to serve the same purpose that RuneScape Classic served when RuneScape 2 was released: allow old players who don't like the new updates to continue to enjoy the game. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of playing Old School RuneScape. If you enjoy it more than the modern game, then by all means: play it! In fact, your membership fee covers both games. Playing both games is an option! However if you opt to stick with (switch to?) Old School RuneScape, keep all of this in mind.

If you create a new account you'll have to log in to a modern RuneScape server and create a display name, but you will still log in to the 2007 servers with your email address. Your display name will be the same on both the modern servers and the 2007 servers.

With the EoC pretty much eradicating pures, is it best to only focus on one style of combat but train defense and prayer or should you train all three?
