You'd have to be pretty ballsy to evade taxes in China, considering tax evasion up until last year was punishable by death.

Fun fact: Once you start advertising with an auto-typer, you're no longer legit.

Because they don't want to legitimize it.

It's not a race, you know.

If only someone had invented a device that could store information in a non-digital format. Like a real life version of that notepad program.

I love rogue-likes, I'd go for a server like this as long as exp gain was boosted significantly.

Because bot banning gets boring and monotonous after a while and they like to have fun with it. Also: The RuneScape development team has nothing to do with the Stellar Dawn development, which was fully ceased so Jagex could focus on Transformers Online and RuneScape's Evolution of Combat. You're expecting far too much consistency out of these people.

That's because you're not a lawyer.

Mass murder in RuneScape = yea, that's fine. Barbie dolls = omg wtf Jadax, thurr kidz around!

"It'll work with RuneScape and um...uh...Stellar Dawn? No we cancelled that. FunOrb? Nah, no one plays that. 8Realms? Nope, that's gone too. Transformers! Yea, that's our one project we didn't waste money on." I'm still convinced that the only reason Transformers wasn't cancelled was because Jagex actually has contractual obligations to Hasbro.

I can't vouch for 100% truth, but according to Blizzard when rumors started about people with authenticators being hacked, they reported that they have never seen a single case of an account with an authenticator being broken into. I'm not saying the VASCO system is the only system, but it does appear to be the dongle of choice for MMOs at the moment.

Those aren't USB flash drives that they use. Ive said calling them "usb dongles," is misleading. They dont connect to a computer at all. Blizzard, Sony, and Square Enix all use a modified VASCO Digipass drive, which are the best and pretty much the only company who will make deals with game developers. When Blizzard launched the WoW authenticator, they pointed to the price ($6.50) as providing zero profit for Blizzard, due to the cost of getting the dongles and systems from VASCO. That's why the mobile authenticators are free. If Blizzard and Sony don't have the ability to create it themselves, and thus had to go to a third party, I highly doubt Jagex could avoid the same pitfall. If you want a non-mobile authenticator, expect to pay $6-7 for it.

As a professional procrastonator, I can explain why people would put off the Mad May necklace to the point where it expires. But you don't want to explain why right now, right? :P Stop pestering me, I'll do it later.

Not a chance. EoC is not ready for release at all.

Oh yea, they're not doing anything about bots... Maybe you should learn to read before calling people retarded.

Can I just say that I'd never want to be tried by the RS community? :? "How do you plead?" "Innocent." "Incorrect. The correct answer was to plead a stooped n00b l0lz. Dis court finds in favor of me, and orders the defense to die. kthnxbye" Now that you mention it, I'd also like to not be tried by a jury of ten year olds and adults with all the maturity of ten year olds.

Cough.

Sorry, RuneScape, your promisary note was not enough to get into the University of Omali.

Pretty damn cool.

The ex-players on here always remind me of Jim Gaffigan's sketch on vegetarians. For people who apparently quit and never looked back, you guys sure do spend a lot of time here. In fact you yourself posted like 25 times in a RuneScape thread (Not counting non-scape posts) since you "quit" around July 20th.

Even more, remember "Squeal isn't gambling because you always win something?" So if I set up a nickel-operated slot machine and guaranteed that the lowest you could receive was one penny, I wouldn't be regulated by gambling laws? I'm amazed that Jagex figured this out but casinos are still in the dark!

I'm not mad or surprised. I had a good feeling from the moment IVP stepped in charge that RuneScape would turn out just like Maplestory.

Agreed. I found it offensive that Jagex scrapped the entire plan because players didn't want it to have bank space. Really? Forego your community's security because some people whined about a proposed incentive?

I wrote about this on my website, but Jagex cancelled a previous plan to include bank space as a perk for buying an authenticator because of the response that it would be selling an advantage. They ultimately agreed and the authenticator was later canned for lack of enthusiasm apparently. But it does give an advantage, especially in free to play where bank space is so confined. RuneScape is a game all about the gathering, processing, and trade of massive amounts of "stuff," and a major impediment to that has always been bank space. So for someone to have more bank space offers them an advantage because they can hold on to more stuff.
