I agree with this so much, whats the problem? It's a quest about a very localised factory causing ice to melt where's the issue with that? And 'global warming is a myth' people annoy me no end - you are fighting against recycling, green energy and moving away from near exhausted fuel resources even if global warming was a myth what exactly is bad about reducing pollution, avoiding unnecessary landfill and break dependence on monopolised fossil fuels that are largely depleted already so are going to be subject to prices soaring within the next few decades. Because ignorant people can't talk on merits and facts, so they need to SPEAK LOUDER to make sure that no one can ignore them.

PKers in RuneScape have been underhanded since pvp first entered the game. For every player who fights with that unwritten and ever changing rule of "honor," there are plenty more willing to fight dirty.

Jen, is that you? Hah, not godo, nice try though. L0L next is perm all were perm bans. It's like receiving multiple death sentences.

How come falsely banned players get access to Jagex's support email 24/7 when the rest of us only get customer support 24/never?

I really hope that they are just neglecting the live client because of RuneScape 3's release, the number of bugs is getting [bleep]ing ridiculous. My client has a constantly flipping FPS which remains constant with everything enabled and everything disabled, when it worked fine just about a month ago. I'm seeing constant graphical bugs with the home teleports, teleporting somewhere and, oh look, there's a marker placed on your world map now. Load a new section? The map tears and my pathfinding is all screwed up, thanks Jagex I love doing the [bleep]ing choc-ice delivery part twenty frickin times because although my computer can play any other game on max settings, somehow RuneScape manages 5 fps on the lowest settings and transitioning between areas manages to cause the client to nearly crash. Oh and the sound just randomly stops working for short periods of time.

Complete a dungeon on complexity 6 despite the update inevitably breaking dungeoneering and causing servers to crash.

As of The World Wakes, pretty much every quest is considered historical (meaning in the context of the game world, you are essentially looking into a flash back) and the game assumes it already happened. All of those events are taking place in the fifth age, when the context fit.

It has more to do with the fact that Jagex are continuing weekly updates for RuneScape and then shoehorning them into the new client. Jagex's problem is that they develop stuff like RuneScape 3, Evolution of Combat, new skills, etc, over one or two years, which would be fine if RuneScape was one of those MMOs that gets a few small updates here and there but the real meaty content really comes in the annual or biennial expansion packs because it gives a mostly static work environment. Jagex, on the other hand, develops massive systems while also maintaining weekly updates. So it's really not the content team's fault because the people at the helm are screwing this game over with the release scheduling. It's like being tasked with putting together a ten thousand piece puzzle, but every hour on the hour someone comes in and scrambles up the pieces. Or they might redesign a section of the puzzle, or add another thousand pieces, or remove some of the pieces, or change their placement around, or break one of your wrists, or throw a dead animal on the pile, and whenever they make a change they demand you stop doing what you're doing and focus on whatever was altered. It worked when RuneScape was just a ten thousand piece puzzle and the game wasn't big enough to really mess up, but Jagex have grown it into a ten billion piece puzzle and the whole thing is falling apart at the seams. It isn't just a case of content being popular, it is the game being rendered unplayable because the infrastructure is burning to the ground around us.

And this is going to launch in less than a week. It's heartwarming to see that although Jagex has become a heartless business, they still have all the programming skills of Andrew Gower back when he first started writing RuneScape Classic. Edit: I found a great post on the forums explaining how Jagex added in the gravestones not because they wanted to make the game easier but because the servers are made of cardboard and the game overall is poorly coded, so they needed a failsafe for people getting disconnected and servers crashing.

Maybe Jagex will finally fix the problem with certain ATI graphics cards crashing, which has been a problem since at least last August. Maybe. I'm not holding my breath.

Good. Hopefully RS3 will end the era of RuneScape having periods where it just plain barely works on people's computers. I'm sick of having one or two months at a time where the client is constantly at low FPS level across graphical settings, or just crashes randomly.

It absolutely does matter, because you are trying to fix a new definition on an old world while at the same time acting all surprised and offended that people might find your choice of base word offensive.. I'll let Clerks 2 explain why that doesn't work: https://www.youtube....h?v=b0R3OjMcOqg (very strong language) The point, for people at work: "It can't be saved, Randal. The sole purpose for its creation, the only reason it exists in the first place is to disparage and entire race. And even if it could be saved, you can't save it. It doesn't "not matter" just because you say it doesn't. Also, I didn't say blanket couldn't be offensive, I said that this circle you talk about never chooses that word. They choose the one that disparages homosexuals, or the one that disparages [insert minority]. It is never an innocuous word turned offensive, it is always a racist/hateful word turned into another hateful word. And you are telling everyone to use it, because you say "no you aren't allowed to be offended because this is our definition and if you don't accept that you are incorrect." George Carlin said it best: "A lot of people will say that a word's meaning changes because a lot of people are using it that way. Yea well I say a lot of people are really [bleep]ing stupid." It's hard to use a clan chat when you're muted/banned from the game. Not even close to "tons and tons." The number of people who would quit because Jagex won't allow them to use racist/homophobic phrases in any context or definition on their servers is slim, and frankly their departure will do nothing but good for the community. Facebook and Jagex are two separate entities with completely different rules and regulations.

You are quite a staunch prescriptivist. As Yoko Kurama stated, words mean different things in different context, and with different intention. Language is descriptive, not prescriptive; that is to say, if a cricle (in this case, his clan chat) agrees that a certain word (in this case the "homophobic F-word") means something that is not offensive, or is even meaningless, then it is fine. The circle has agreed on a definition for this word. You are merely forcing your definition of the word onto them, as Joe would be doing if he stubbornly chose to be offended. No, it does not matter what meaning the majority of society has put onto this word, whether it has history or not. The fact is, in this circle (the clan), it does not mean what you believe (and want) it to mean, so there is no problem. Old (kind of) convo, I know, but I just felt like getting that out there. I've read this over a few times, and I'm still not convinced you are using this weak-ass justification seriously. The whole "oh I took this offensive word and made up my own definition" is crap because out of the one hundred seventy one thousand words in the English language (as per the 2nd edition of the Oxford Dictionary), you picked this one. You act like it's just some crazy coincidence, like the roulette wheel of language just happened to fall on that word by happenstance, a .000005% odds of happening, and I call BS on the whole thing. That word was cherry-picked because of its established meaning, because its simple use implies a blanket inferiority for whoever the person is talking about to fill just about any conversation. That's why you aren't calling someone a "blanket" and saying "no, I changed the definition, it's totally hateful now." You can claim all you want that your group has created a new definition, and you will be arguing through a screen door as everyone can see through it. Your new definition is like a plant that was fertilized with the manure of the old definition, a manure that was hand-picked because it is so powerful. And no one (who isn't nosy) cares if you use it in the confines of your group, however you're going to get kicked off of someone's private property if they don't feel like tolerating your inside references, and everything about RuneScape from the servers to your account is Jagex's private property. When you are on their property, I'll have to ask you follow your own rule and not force your definition of a word on them.

Don't let the door hit you where the dog should have bit you.

I'm sure they don't want to because god forbid it has to be delayed due to last second issues, the army of programming experts who created a flash intro at one point and therefore know how an MMO is programmed will short circuit the servers with their tears of rage.

I hate these types of mini-games, it's always a bunch of people running around giving orders and no one knows what the hell they're talking about. "Omali stop we need order in this one." *two seconds later* "Omali wtf r u doing dis 1 neds chaos" *two seconds later* "Omali stop it I already said order."

Divination isn't pseudoscience in the context of RuneScape's world. The gods are verifiably real, we've interacted with several of them personally, and we know that there are people who can read the future. Hell, in RuneScape, divination is about as real of a science as archaeology.

It's always hilarious how badly out of context Jagex uses the home teleport spells. Someone who has never played would be like "holy crap, that demon just popped out of the ground and that guy just jumped on his shoulders, HOLY CRAP HELICOPTERS," only to get in and find out it's actually an animation in a cash shop.

That's they glory of MMOs. They either die before their time or they live long enough to become something you didn't sign up for.

Agreed. I'd like to open things like inventory with I/B, quests with Q or J, etc, like 99% of every single other MMO or RPG on the planet. That of course should be possible since the F key update was done when the chat window was activated 100% of the time and Jagex couldn't map it. Now they can.

The fact that it trails behind the avatar? I hate that too.

Maybe I missed the announcement, but it looks like Jagex is converting pets from items that you drop into an interface ability (like they did with the Solomon Shop pets). The ability interface has a tab for Pets which is currently unavailable.

I must be missing something here. RuneScape has been localised in French, German, and Brazilian Portugese, which should make Latin American Spanish the fourth localization, not the fifth. Unless they count either English or that there is a version of the website (not game) in Dutch.

Buenas nachos!
