Runescape Quest Web
Romeo and Juliet. Not a quest anymore, but I'd like to see how it connect.

Categorization of Members as "Pro"
If Jagex releases a new tier of membership, than I have to demand that they go ahead with their previous plans to release an authenticator.

Categorization of Members as "Pro"
The word "pro" is pretty commonly used in software to denote the difference between paying and non-paying customers. Download free programs for anti-virus, office applications, video/audio tools, etc, and generally they'll ask you to pay a fee/subscription to upgrade to "[product name] Pro."

What's the player base like these days?
It's all about horsing now, which is funny because the first definition for horsing on Urban Dictionary is "bullshitting."

the price of chins...
It's a simple case of if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Runescape has an economy based on supply and demand, and rather than come up with an actual solution, the OP just wants Jagex to regulate the market price down to a point he considers fair. Do you honestly think Chin sellers won't just trade outside of the Grand Exchange if Jagex were to implement such an update?

Yes. I'm really surprised Jagex doesn't let you take stuff out. It really makes no sense.

The waterfall or the tomb? Because the tomb is where you can't enter with any form of weapon/armor. It'd have to be Glarial's Tomb -- and I'd assume that the offending item(s) would be the bronze pick and hatchet ... :unsure: Are there any other spaces other than Glarial's tomb that block players out? Edit: Actually, Entrana should block players.

the price of chins...
If enough players farmed them en mass, the price would come back down. So in a longer run, he could make a heavy profit by farming chins now, selling them at their bloated price, and then when the price comes back down, buy them for the reduced cost. He won't gather nearly as many as he'll end up buying, and rather than the whole process costing him, he'll still turn a profit. Runescape is all around capitalism, and now that our cheap labor (bots) is gone, prices are going to rise as the goods saturating the market slowly make their way out. You can either complain, or you can try to be part of the solution.

wannabe pkers
^The one con of powerslaying greaters. I like how the teams that try to kill me fail and I'm wearing welfare armor and not that much food. I suck at pking, so what does that say about them? That they're hopeless. I love wannabe anythings, they're rather adorable. Back in my days of farming green dragons, there was always a laugh to be had walking out of the wilderness while a guy is hitting constant 0's on me going "turn off prayer noob," "lol 0wn3d" etc.

The tool thing is good, because it means Jagex can stop releasing quests where the tools you need are in the quest for you, because once they fix a few of the access glitches, there's no reason to not have tools with you.

01-Dec-2011 Behind the Scenes - December
Problem at the moment however is it's sometimes possible to click through the chat box, making you run to whatever spot is under the chat area. This in turn breaks the conversation and also makes you have to go through all the chat again. Space/numbers won't have that problem. Can't say I've ever come across that, yes you can click throuhg the normal chat box (which has a toggle option anyway in graphics) but you've never been able to clikc through dialogue screens. Click out yeah, but clikc through? In all my years on rs I've never had that happen. I've had it happen quite a bit.

Oh cool a new item. How long till it degrades?
Bad comparison, given your oven doesn't count as a super expensive. The oven at my work has individual parts that cost more than your $2,000 oven.

He was demodded. Other than that, no fallout.

I agree that morally there's nothing wrong with it. Even if it was just a cover, I agree with Jagex that it was getting ridiculously out of control with the sheer amount of people who were turning to dicing because it was more profitable than actually playing the game. The scams are second nature, it's the usual system of trust trades and the fact that online casino style systems are shady enough as it is.

You'd have to look up the laws in various countries, but some countries where Runescape is available likely are among those with strict laws. Nexon and NCsoft (and a bunch of other companies) are being investigated in South Korea as to whether or not their games that feature "jackpot items" (these are cash shop items that you pay real money and receive a random jackpot item, with rarer items having low odds) count as gambling, and thus are subject to fines and potentially be charged with obstructing a government investigation. Not relevant to Jagex's position, but an idea as to how strict some countries are. That's understandable as they are taking money directly from these people. What's the problem with gambling for pixel items/pokemon with pixel money? Oh wait, NONE! There are countries that have laws against it, though, even if it is with 100% virtual currency. This is all speculation, of course, assuming that laws are the reason Jagex changed foot in the first place. I'm willing to bet it had more to do with Jagex not wanting an item to be used directly for gambling. It's the NIMBY approach. "It's okay if this exists, just Not In My Backyard."

22-Nov-2011 - RuneScape Revolution v3 & Anti-Gold Farming Measures V2
I've found many pures prefer free to play combat because there's not as much variety to turn your character around. And also not paying for a second account, and the idea that combat pures probably don't train their non-combat skills a lot so there's no need for members only skills. Is corrupt dragon armor still pretty much useless (in terms of cost) for PvP'ing in free to play?
-
Currency tab?
Do tell the path that lead you to this conclusion, because everything Jagex has said so far is that Runescape is incompatible with microtransactions.

Stop decreasing the price of the dragon platelegs.
This problem got worse with gravestones. When I died before gravestones, my stuff was generally gone for good. If not picked clean by another player, it was either deleted by being in an instanced area, or simply in too far of an out of the way place to get back to. Jagex can fix this, but it will require a good few controversial updates, perhaps the easiest is to introduce a degradation system hybrid of corrupt and barrows. The armor degrades over time, but you can repair it with money, but the maximum amount you can repair it to goes down each time you repair it, so eventually the thing is useless for any actual combat and must be trashed. This, however, would require Jagex to implement the feature they were working on a few years ago that attached degradation values to items rather than the account, because otherwise the stuff couldn't be traded once it was used, similar to corrupt armor/weapons are now.

If You Pay, You Have No Say On F2P
Every $1 spent on unemployment generates $1.90 in the economy, but that's a topic for a different discussion.

Free to play is conditional. In this case, Jagex says "alright, we'll let you play for free as long as you'd like, but while you are free you have: 1. A severely reduced bank space. 2. Severely reduced access to the game world, quests, mini-games, equipment, etc. 3. Restricted access to skills (16 of 25) 4. Not everything in the 16 usable skills is craftable. 5. If you subscribe, you lose access to benefits when the subscription ends. Like it or not, companies put out free versions to coerce people into paying, and the people on here who believe Jagex's statement that they want free to play to be its own "full game," probably aren't aware that every freemium/free to play game with a membership/cash shop has said that exact same thing.
