Forget tutorial island, how has nobody noticed these new High Definition graphics? I logged into Runescape today and was like "whoa". When did our avatars become 3d? And when did Runecrafting become a skill? GF Jagex, now my horde of blood runes is going to be worthless...

This is just my guess, but you might be able to get Eek back if you talk to the Spider Herald. I'm not very sure though (hence guess). You will keep Eek, as she is listed as one of the rewards. The reason the eggs melt is because they don't want the price of the real easter eggs crashing, however there were also indicators that they would disappear after the event. The imp also disappeared because of the huge server load caused on free worlds by everyone and their sister having a familiar out. Eek is, for all intense and purpose, just another item. An item that gives your character an extra animation or two, but a unique, un-obstructive item. I can't see her going anywhere.

I remember the Gielinor Tribune. I believe I tried to join and was ignored. Which of course makes the flourishing of Planet FunOrb all the more delicious.

This has just confirmed that I won't do the event, like all others holiday events with cosmetic rewards. This just confirmed that, despite at least five years of playing, you never got a clue as to the point of the holiday events.

I don't know, do you?

I facepalmed almost hard enough to break my nose.

Win! And to the self appointed Jagex-psychologists who said this was an obvious fake because it wasn't "jagex style",

There's no law against telling people how long they've accumulated on their own accounts, otherwise Blizzard would be receiving daily fines for /timeplayed.

The only people who should be giving this guy the time of day are Jagex, and by Jagex I mean their Community team banning him, his clan, their spambots, and blocking their credit cards, and telling them that they are not wanted as customers or players. He needs to be beaten with a spiked clue bat.

I came. I'll wait to see how this goes.

I used to get people to do this to do a price check, not so much anymore since the price check feature. It is annoying, yes.

Childhood...ruined.

Deemed bad updates? By who? I repeat, the same crybabies who take a shot at Jagex for every week's updates? Baw, the quest is too hard. Baw, the quest is too easy. Baw the skill update's too high. Baw, the skill update's too low. Baw, the monster's too hard. Baw, the monster's too easy. Baw, those graphics suck. Baw, now other graphics look lame in comparison. As for Meili, who cares? Apparently being old school didn't give Meili enough common sense to know that no MMO is ever a finished product, and in some cases may undergo dramatic changes to deal with the competition (See Ultima Online Trammel Update), freefalling subscriber numbers (See Star Wars Galaxies: New Game Enhancements), legal issues caused by real world traders (See Runescape), player demand (See World of Warcraft's Honor, prestige, Cataclysm, etc updates), or just to appeal to a wider audience (See Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited expansion). Will some people quit over updates that dramatically change aspects of the game? Yes. There are still "veterans" who complain about how the NGE updates to Star Wars Galaxies killed the game when, in reality, the subscriber numbers were free falling, and going by the rate of dropped subscriptions that Sony was seeing, actually saved the game. SWG may not have as many subscribers as it used to, but very few MMOs age well, and today's subscriber numbers are a blessing compared to what it would have been without the update.

And you're an ill-informed (see bolded) crybaby and think you can comment intelligently on the state of the game? Two outcomes for Jagex here: Report on the awards: "OMG DEY R EGOTESTICLE" Don't report on award: "LULZ DEY R EMBEARASSED CUZ DEY NO DEY CANT WIN!" This dip into the extremely shallow puddle that is the Runescape crybaby is brought to you by Mentos: The Freshmaker! Huh? What are you talking about? I'm not accusing them of being egotistical, I'm simply agreeing with others and having a discussion as to why they currently don't deserve it. And I can assure you, the reasons I gave for them not deserving it will be agreeded upon by many other tif members. I don't understand why I can't comment intelligently on the state of the game, give me one good reason why my comments are useless and unintelligent. I believe it was Ravenkana who called them egotistical, but my point still stands. They would be bashed for it whether or not they posted it on the website. As for why you can't comment intelligently on the state of the game, see your bolded comments. Oh, and because you think free players can't comment on the state of the game.

Your face is immature.

Randomly generated scenarios as well as player owned shops are still impossible (at least they were last year when Jagex last talked about them), but Jagex has said that they are still a possibility. Oh and those weren't promises of updates, it was a list of things they wanted to do.

Tha's not the point. Auto-retaliate, you would think, means it cancels any other action to fight back. But it doesn't cancel following. And that doesn't make much sense to me, nor the OP. It's called priority tiering. Getting attacked doesn't break follow because of the examples listed above. Yea, you pretty much summed up the double standard that is this thread. "I don't want to have to click! You should have to click, and if you don't want to it's because you're lazy, but totally not because I'm lazy."

:( I had always assumed drag and drop interfaces were impossible. Otherwise, why would Jagex torment us with puzzles that require you to smash the arrow keys to move stuff around?

In the case of credit card fraud, chargebacks are issued to forcibly return the money from where it was spent. When a company accumulates chargebacks, the bank begins to fine them, usually 100-200 dollars. So for Jagex, a potential 7 dollars per account just changed to a hundred dollar fine, per account. With Jagex banning thousands of accounts a week for being bots, quite a few of them members, the fines add up. Eventually, if a company racks up enough fines, a bank may freeze their account, but will definitely stop allowing them to accept credit cards. This is where we found Jagex in 2007, with their bank making these same threats. That is how a couple kids can ruin it. They fed the beast.

It's DOS'ing, not DDOS'ing. I highly doubt a script kiddie will have a botnet under his command to pull a distributed denial of service attack. But we know this is happening, and there's an easy fix: Don't go on IRC. If you get electrocuted every time you stick a fork in the socket, your best bet would probably be to stop sticking the fork in the socket, rather than complain to the fork manufacturers or your electric company.

You were saying?

Go and talk to Reldo in the Varrok Library....WITH THIS MACHETE!!! YYYEEEAAAHH!!! I guess Runescape Classic is disqualified from the update. It meets the old, but falls short on the "but loved" when the people who use Classic as a crutch for how Runescape "should be", and then will scream about how boring and out of date it is when they bring it back, and how they should have never revived it.

Runescape Classic servers will be launched, but you're going to have to travel to a really seedy ghetto to play them. "The Hood" get it?

1.) A small bit of player interaction? Henrique advertised Mechscape as a "less hardcore version of Eve Online". If you'd played Eve Online, you'd know the entire game centers around player interaction. Not to mention the game will feature factions. 2.) As far as I'm aware, there are no plans for a cash shop in Mechscape, I'd like to see your evidence for this. tl;dr: Delete this thread, OP is high on stupid.
