Is RuneScape's technology obsolete?
Where did you read this? I don't see it. I call bs. Jagex always caters to low end high mobility games that suite the largest variety of people. I would look for them to make runescape work on those internet capable mobile phone/computer things. But, thats as exotic as it will get. I don't think you'll ever see RS come in dvds you buy at the store and need nvidia 1gb+ graphic gards.

The Three Slayer Archetypes
Cost matters when you don't have that much money, like well most players (me included).

Slayer - Why do you like it?
Its better than farming the skill or the mmorpg concept. It gets annoying at times though. I just got 99 yesterday after 5 years at it (where I was 85 in the first year) lol. I won't be training it anymore I think. I need to come up with a better way to get charms. Slayer's biggest drawback is the lack of charms.

Monkey Madness musing
MM was harder in the old days (05). Most people where low level when they tried it. So, they didn't have a whip (it cost too much). Didn't have high prayer, alot didn't even have it enough for pro melee because of the hugh pain-in-the-rear ectofunctus thing. Also, this was before the agility nerf so even someboday with 99 agility had there run cut out far before people with lvl1 agility today and there was no sitting. So, you had a lvl50-70s in rune with no prayer a dlong, an antipoison pot, and some lobbies trying to walk through half the dungeon at least several times and then go kill that big demon. Yeah, so it wasn't that easy, seen lots of people die.

Is RuneScape Too Old?
So here's the real discussion: what did you expect of the game when you first started out? What did you want, what did you think, what was fun for you? I just wanted a game to play in my free time. As I progressed I found my success made me hungry for glory and that sense of eliteness. Now compare that to today. What are you doing on a normal day today? What feelings do you have for the game now, and what feelings do you have when logging in? How does that compare to when you were first starting your adventures in RuneScape? Once I reached the pinnacle, I found that Jagex no longer supported me. There was no end game content, my combat was stuck at 126, and over the years many more people became maxed so I was no longer elite. I just played castle wars for years and I have quit on and off and tried other games. Nowadays I am back to finish what I started. I am skilling so to speak. Some parts of the game bring nostalgia and comfort, others are new and somewhat foriegn. It angers me when old parts of the game are written over to make things attractive for new players. (think hp update)

The Three Slayer Archetypes
All three of people pictured could be sucessfull. A noob slayer is one who half kills monsters and leaves it for others to finish. A noob slayer is one who steals kills in multi or crowds you out of your spot in single. I am a noob slayer. :razz:

The Degradation of PK Videos & Amore
I only know old school pkers. Fear figments last lullaby was the only truly great pking video. Hiei the pk's were okay, he was crazy good or lucky depending on how you look at it. Used to have a pic somewhere of me smoking him 1 on 1 in castle wars somewhere. :-P No idea who is good nowadays, i think pvp equips/claws kinda ruined it for me.

The Money Cap
Here is the list of priorities Jagex should have. Finish dungeoneering. Make more quests. . Finish runecrafting. . . . Redo the graphics on the leprachauns again. . . Fiddle with the summoning interface again. . . . . Make updates for the non-players. (your suggestion goes here)

Runescape Reboot
I'd try out no trade, DIY worlds with their own high scores. But, more than likely I would just stick to this one because frankly after the novelty wears off your new character, then you realize the insane amount of work you have to put into it to equal your main. Or at least in my case. :)

Chaotic is better than Divine/Elysian
Choatic Kiteshield is the worst of the bunch. No strength bonus just kills it compared to DFS. Eagle Eye is mediocre. I'd rather get a spiritual shield with no additional melee penalties since I already use arma with its penalties. Range damage soak isn't that great. Tough ranging monsters are rare outside of dungeoneering. Farseer shield is unqiue one of the bunch. Its arcane shield with with some damage soak in right catagories. I'd like that and then replace ahrim top/hood with verac brassy/helm and get that new prayer. Thats alot of melee/range def on a mage that could still hit tier 2 magic defense easily.

You can't show mining gear without varrock armour. You do realize that its effect works here too.

14 Day Bans for Bots
No pic no proof. This thread reaks of a fishing expedition to get people to come to well known cheat sites. The only benefits I ever recieved from people botting was my silver crown with the "P" in the middle and the satisfaction of ruining somebody's little party. :razz:

Runescape + directx = 3D runescape finally!
Mine doesn't even work. And wasn't it 3D before too? he means 3d with those 3d glasses: This would be the dumbest thing ever in the history of RS. 3D glasses are guaranteed to give you a headache and wear the crap out of your eyes. 3D "technology" has been out in movies since the 50s and invented like 100 years ago. The last incarnation was in the late 70s when I was a little kid. (that stupid meteor movie with shawn connery, JAWs...) The only question is how clueless the newest generation is if "3D" finally catches on. Unbelievable, just play the dam rick aston song...

Tip.It Times - Jagex Interview - 9th May 2010
Seems like a waste of time to train dungeoneering now when the xp rate is going to double or triple this year alone. Leave it to Jagex to half [wagon] this like all the other new skills since construction. Put something out that there that is incomplete or stinks and then take a year or two to make it better.

C rapier vs C longsword
Rapier or maul. Whip/Godsword already do slash. Rapier would be great for dragons, maul would be great on waterfiends. Personally, I'm sweet on shields more than the weapons. I can see lots of uses for each one of them, but I'm in no rush to get them since its almost a waste of time now that Jagex announced two more sets of floors coming this year. That will be like at least 18 more floors and probably 2x to 3x the xp rate. I'll just finish all the old skills until the update.

why is chaotic crossbow such a joke?
Can the chaotic staff cast miasmic barrage? If so then its not a total loss like this xbow.

12-Apr-2010 - Dungeoneering Skill!
90+ armour wearing forgotten warriors should always be maged. You'll spend like 3+ minutes trying to out melee them nomatter what you have. You can cast air surge in plate body /legs or leather gear and hit them almost every time. I mage alot in dungeons yet I never wear mage robes. :wink:

Dragon Plate vs Bandos Plate
Full Dragon over Bandos. Bandos looks [developmentally delayed]ed, costs something stupid, and nothing goes better with my agility cape than full d. +6 strength is irrelevant unless your low hp darrocking.

29-Apr-2010 Developer Blog: Voice Overs - Look Who's Talking
I'd love to see Patrick Stewart do a voice. He was great in Oblivion as usual. For an actress, I'd pick Sofia Myles. She speaks great american english. Sometimes, I forget she is british. Also, I think she is hot. <3: Also, who the hell is Vinnie Jones? Simon Templeton (Kain from Legacy of Kain Series) would be so much better as Zamorack. I hope they can do better than some no-names who are only popular in Whales.

28-April-10 Buyers and Cellars (and Thieves� Guild)
Well, good job Jagex on patching up the little stuff that prevents players from treating Daemonheim like a one-stop free XP training spot for every skill out there. :thumbup: I noticed a few things about the way you post. One, you like to leave one sentence per line. Two, you don't make any sense. 'Worthless' skill? I'm sure you can provide a good explanation of how summoning skill is worthless to us. OT: I think it's a little sad that Jagex tries to improve the thieving NPCs here and there, but majority of the players are still going to train most of their thieving levels in Pyramid plunder or blackjacking. #-o Oh how nice a thoughtful critque on my lack of run on sentences or lack of attention to maintaining formalism through paragraphs and word walls on web browsers. Don't worry though because of your post I am going to change for the better and forgo all manner of punctuation and sometimes leave the subject out make many long sentences run together you understand me better because I care about what you have to say and I know you are an english teacher and you care that the little kids read proper english like this am I easier to understand because I worry that you dont know what I am saying because it is important to me the end. P.S. I LOVE SUMMONING. IT IS A GREAT SKILL I WILL NOT OFFEND YOU. JAGEX IS ALWAYS RIGHT. DID I MISS ANYTHING YOU THINK BECAUSE I WANT TO THINK LIKE YOU. the end.
