pure rune ess is gonna be so much higher, then normal ess, and its gonna be alot harder, simply cuz not alot of members like mining rune ess. this kind of blows, especially if you just ran out of rune ess lately

Today we have made an adjustment to rune essence mining due to players breaking rule 7 and rule 12, using macros to mine the rune essence and then selling it. As you are probably aware we have various systems in place to detect people breaking rule 7 and ban them. These systems work very effectively at detecting people breaking this rule, and make macroing a really bad way to try and train a high level character. The problem we are now solving is not a problem with our macro detection systems which are still working well, but rather a problem with banning being an ineffective punishment against abusers who only use very low level accounts, and who have no intention of ever playing the game properly. Over the last few weeks we have banned literally hundreds of accounts a day for macroing at the rune essence mine. However the bans were ineffective as the abusers could just create more low level accounts that they didn't care about to mine more. We also track trades so we can ban the recipiant of the illegally obtained items, but the abusers in this case were swapping the runes for gp, and then selling the gp for real world money on auction sites. Of course the person buying the gp for real world money gets banned, because we track the money they received in an unbalanced trade to a macro account, but the seller doesn't care that their customers get banned shortly after, as they have their real world money by then. The fundamental problem is that rune essence was one of the few areas of the game which could be used to generate a reasonable amount of RuneScape money on a 'throwaway' low level free account. Normally to earn large amounts of money quickly you need to level up an account first, and then of course you care if it gets banned so our normal deterrant is effective. We have therefore split rune essence to have 2 grades. Normal essence can only be used to make the six basic runes, whereas pure essence can be used to make any rune. You can mine both types of essence at the same place as before. The kind of essence you receive is automatically decided when you mine the rock. You will always get pure essence only if your mining is over 30 and you are on a members' world, otherwise you will get normal essence. As a one-off event whilst we introduce this, existing essence in your bank and inventory will have been automatically converted to pure essence if you are a member or have other members-only items in your bank. Since free players can only craft the six basic runes anyway, the normal essence is just as good for its intended purpose of letting free players do low level rune crafting. However it is not so useful for selling to members who want to make law and nature runes (who we believe buy the vast majority of rune essence in Runescape) which should reduce its price significantly and make it a much less appealing proposition for real world traders. The only people who should be significantly affected by this are players mining very large amounts of essence on free accounts purely to sell to members. There are better way of making money on high level free accounts anyway, so this change should only really affect players trying to making large amounts of money on a low level free account - which is of course the exact idea. We would also like to yet again remind our players NOT to break rule 12 and be tempted to buy RuneScape gold for real world money. Nearly all the gold being offered for sale in this way was generated by cheating on 'throwaway' accounts. If you buy it not only are you encouraging further cheating, but you run the very real risk of being banned yourself as the money you receive is dirty money and will be tracked. Again we have banned countless players for breaking rule 12 and fuelling this problem, and will continue to do so. We hope most players will agree we shouldn't let rule breakers spoil this game, and we are determined to not let them do so. As well as banning, where necessary we will also make minimal changes to the game to make rule breaking unviable. im glad my stock piled ess is fine...

originality in games these days is rare, so copying or resembling things in inevitable, honestly, its true about the simpons, south park, family guy, for them most part. alot of those ideas are from the original twight light zone(the good one, that was black and white.) especially sci-fi episodes.

hmm, i did not realize that. thanks for the info

i noticed this earlier, i bought a green mask for 8m, then i decided it wasnt the right choice, financially, so i decided to resell the same day when i get to fally, i see like 5 guys saying ''selling green mask 15m'' lol, i was amazed at how players have become money grabbers thats not all that bad, considering some try to engineer the economy of one set thing, even i have done it on a small short term scale of course. all you do is put doubt in the mind of merchants and you have great potential. i sat in fally one day, for a few hours(literally) tryin to buy full verac for 6.1mil, when it was sellin roughly 6.5-6.7 and sure enough i recieved 2 full sets before the day was over. and i bought the full set, not parts, but all four peices off some people who seemed to try and merchant it.

yea i thought theiving and alching was bad, but hey let jagex cut their own throats.

wow thats gay, at first clance i percepted this to be a good minigame, then it i realized you dont get exp in all the lvls, only the lvl you pick...sad really if all the exp was given, wow that be some quick levels

Exactly what i was going to say. It starts out ok, but then you get crazy numbers of monsters coming thru. I'm having a problem moving about as well, not sure why, and it's annoying having to right click every monster. cannon?

homeless people on drugs.

i think your missing the point, that the kid was nice first, thats all the reason for me to be equally as nice.

i thought someone actually had the same login glitch i had for once, sadly i was wrong whenever i login, the whole login prompt(tells my IP, last login, unread messages) is missing, completely gone on my main account. whenenver i login to other accounts its FINE, whenever i goto a friends house, my mains account is missing it but my friends account has it...its odd

drag skirt. its not so bad... or i did get torags plate when it was 1.8mil

asyn shades are SAID to give 89 prayer exp not to mention gettin 200+ oils and stuff SUCKS im currently getting 660 pyred yews and asyn shdes for 1 prayer 1 firemaking, then the $ from alchs and splitbark armor to buy 80 firemaking

That is the best suggestion I have ever heard in 4 months of reading this forum. i suggest that SOOO many times, and then when i bring it here to rally support i get people who are like, well theirs 2nd trade screen for a reason... what a load, ive always said, make the spear untradable, but then people are like blah blah blah, i was just trying to help someone out from gettin scammed but since the people who are anxious get hurried, they get scammed.

this got a little out of hand, basically i wanted to know if anyone remember the day they posted the update so i could show the site to my friend they had the website for the game already layed out just the basic design of it tho. and i wanted that link

i talked to my friend, he told me that he had asked a jagex mod about kill count, he simply told me kill count does not matter, this is what my player mod told me that j-mod had said, i know chris wouldnt lie to me, but if the j-mod knew what he was talking about is a different story these days...

noone knows the update which i speak of?

wow, if you ever read the update it said it might not even be like runescape. meaning, no blackjacks and how bout actually being constructive to the post since i dont have the link, i cant even begin to speculate what the game may be about

the game that jagex plans to be release in 2007, i was speakin to my friend about it and he had no idea what it was going to be like and only speculated about it what would you guys like to see apart of that game? also, if someone could link me or tell me the update it was that they had a preview link, id really appreciate it

wow thats one very interesting post their nvw. anyway, placebo PERHAPS, or perhaps not....remember people thought it was a rumor, that wearing armor effected your theiving rate, and craven image did a theiving study, it showed about a 20-30% more failures while wearing heavy armor.

just, think perhaps? sorry, but this wasnt well thought out, anyone could have seen these results comming, i infact was like, if he posted the new updates, sweet, if hes askin for speculation i was thinking "wow, how are we going to know this..." basically, ask your self what you think, if you cannot think of a reasonable answer, neither can we most likely, especially if its PREDICTING THE FUTURE

That's not really my concern here ... I'm actually glad to hear people are still getting some reasonable kills out there :oops: My main concern is a dead risky SOLO pking environment. Hopefully the removal of the mage bank lever and an expansion to the area will lighten it up a bit. i wish the wilderness was equally risky for everone pkers and non-pkers. basically, make going into 20+ wilderness deadlier, deadlier for everyone, lvl 3 or 126. make larg animal roam the wildy, big, dangerous animals itd really like to see pking more challenging, like the wildy with thousands of dragons...

ditto, ive not YET been blessed with mind reading, but when that day comes i assure you, you will all know...

hm i may be mistaken with my following post, since im not and RSC product but at the begining, wasnt their NO wilderness, and if you were classified as a PKER, you could pk any where or something? why not return this idea? it would definately make my day alot more interesting in fally park on world 2 when tryin to sell something or buy something

the zammy monk is caged thats all, your basically forcing your self to fail the spell thousands of times try the help forum however ive planned things out, how to make 55+magic pure with 10 hp cannon your way to 40 ranged(couldnt be that bad.) wear dhide vams, snakeskin botos, full iron. bam failed spell every time cannon = no hp, failed magic = no hp. 10hp, with a lvl 37 combat magic pure of mid lvl 50's magic
