1 May 2007 - Bots and real-world trading
I think it is one of the pointless things they've ever written Not to me, I like to know what's going on. And seeing most people are complaining how jagex does nothing against macroes, etc. This shows how wrong they are. There are just too much of them. Personal I'm pretty glad they wrote this. But I wondered one thing; can anyone name a medium-large fansite/forum which doesn't have such adds? I see them everywhere. i never noticed them on tip.it axe man jack is probably correct, if you cant control the ads and some other site throws them onto your free forums for RS based clans,communities or just board for friends. those ad's cannot be controlled by the "owner" or person whom may maintain it. so really, jagex should sue google.

1 May 2007 - Bots and real-world trading
seems like a member/non member update. Over the last couple of weeks we've had a sudden increase in reports of people apparently using 'bots' to play the game automatically (which is in breach of Rule 7). Firstly, we want to let all our honest players (and that's the vast majority of you) know that we are aware of this problem, and that we are taking immediate steps to tackle it. We currently ban about 8000 accounts every week for trying this sort of cheating, and for a long time that kept things under control. Things have clearly moved on, however, and that is no longer enough, so we are in the process of upgrading our detection and prevention systems. We also have logs of historical activity, so will be able to make sure that dishonesty doesn't pay. Please bear with us while we sort it out! There are also ways you can help us, so please read on. What's happening is more complex than it first seems. What's actually going on is that the VAST majority of the level-3 characters you see playing the game repetitively and not talking to anyone, are actually people from countries such as China and Korea, who are trying to collect RuneScape gold to sell for real world money (obviously against the rules). Some of them aren't even using bots, they are just playing the game very repetitively with a single-minded purpose to collect gold. These people have no interest in playing the game properly, and therefore don't care if they get banned. The final effect is the same, though ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ it spoils the game for everyone else. We can (and do) ban them - including using IP bans - but they still find ways to make accounts. We seized 6 billion in RuneScape gold by banning real-world traders last week! Unfortunately, these people are obliged to work such long hours and are paid such low wages that if even a tiny fraction of gold makes it to the market, those running the sweatshops will be encouraged to continue. This is why we are now further increasing our efforts. So how to stop it? The answer is clearly to tackle the black market. As long as there is the potential to make money, they won't stop trying, even though it damages the game for everyone else. Of course, if nobody spent real world money on RuneScape gold these unwelcome groups would just switch to a different game. Therefore, we are going to be cracking down HARD on people who breach Rule 12 (no real world trading). We can catch people who break this rule, because we have a sophisticated trade monitoring system and we can trace suspicious activity all the way back to the original bot accounts. If you break Rule 12 and buy RuneScape gold you are directly funding this problem. You are funding underground gangs who run Chinese sweatshops, and creating the black market which causes this botting problem. Therefore, this rule will now be enforced as a priority, with no second chances. If you break Rule 12 and we catch you, then you will not only lose the money you spent, but also your entire account. Obviously, we will always be careful to make sure nobody is banned in error. Finally, we have noticed some 3rd party sites, which call themselves 'fansites', but then advertise black market trading sites. This will no longer be tolerated. By running such advertising these sites are directly supporting these gangs, and are thus causing the botting problems they then complain about! We don't consider sites that encourage our players to break the rules and endanger their own users to be 'fansites'. (i.e. They're advertising things to their users, which, if the advertising works, will serve to get their users banned!) We consider them cheat sites, and they will be treated accordingly. True fans of the game don̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t encourage cheating! This brings us to the last point. HOW YOU CAN HELP! You can help us by: 1. Using the in-game 'report abuse' facility to tell us about players you see breaking rule 7. Of course we're not going to ban anyone just on the basis of a player report and will always thoroughly check them ourselves, too - but such reports still help us know who we should be checking up on. 2. Boycott any corrupt 'fansites' which advertise RuneScape gold for sale. There are plenty of genuine fansites out there who don't support cheating in this way, and we fully support those sites. Use those ones instead. Also, don't advertise, link to, or talk about any of these corrupt fansites. Obviously, if they stop supporting cheating, you can start using them again. 3. Under absolutely no circumstances buy RuneScape gold/items for real money! Doing so causes this whole problem, and we'll ban you if we catch you doing it. The number of honest players still far, far outweighs the tiny minority causing trouble. Now we̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re on the case you can be sure we̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll have this sorted out asap.

maybe later. i just dont like doing things... also, im going to try berserker necklace with my str gear and slayer mask. hopefully it stacks. btw, my max with whip is 40-41 @ lvl 118 str with that same gear. pot and prayer. i was pottted and praying when i hit the 40 with the sword. so essentially its a whip with lower attack stats.

but your using the knife, not the sword. so, sword over scimitar is probably decent str training.

you realize, obby weapon training with slayer mask is probably a GREAT way to go? especially with guthans.

i dont know what you guys expected... non of the other stuff gives stats, the only reason the D stone bracelet gives stats is because its for combat. games necklace never gave stats... so i dont know why people even checked...

RC PKing Destroyed?
discuss what? people are already posted positives and negatives to the abyss bracelet on page 3 or something of the update thread

30 April 2007 - 24 Carat Update
From these stats it's totally no match for barrows gloves in any way, however it could be a good replacement for mystic gloves. Still, barrows gloves owns it.. totally. some1 said something like, better then mith gloves or something... basically if your a pure these are good for you. also... some people just dont do quest

30 April 2007 - 24 Carat Update
One more reason NOT to use them. They should have added some stat bonuses atleast for the higher lvl bracelets. And a new spot too. combat bracelet has stats

you assume we expected it. we all knew it wouldnt happen, what your insisting on is called dream crushing. If you weren't expecting something to happen, why are you dissapointed that it didn't happen? And look, the people with the most specific complaints are the most dissapointed. i only expected jagex to do was, use the slayer gem as a slayer item. thats is all. everything else i knew wouldnt happen or at least, was damn sure it wouldnt. i was never disappointed until i saw the dragon stone was the "slayer" jewelry like really, why? i mean you could have been like, aw yeah heres a slayer bracelet wear it... it uses a slayer gem it teles you to slayer tower & cave also gives a % to unique drops only from slayer monsters... would have been nice to see something like that, i honestly hoped that they would add a new spot, i knew it would not happen.

Even Jagex staff admits it now: quantity>quality I want a jmod in my friends list as well :cry: I really don't understand why a bracelet slot would need a new game engine though :S:S any java programmers that can help us out here ? might be easier to start with a new engine from scrap then to go thru and re-write a bunch of slots and junk... honestly. i dont know. but the weirdest things do mess with your coding. so maybe the design testing might require a portion of that. Oh yeah, let's just completely rewrite an engine. Would you like getting no updates for months? It's not something you do on a rainy sunday afternoon. But I'm quite dissapointed that it's not possible. I thought the current engine would leave plenty of room for updates. And now we see a new slot isn't even possible. I suppose there will be nothing really big coming up then. trust me, rewriting any amount of coding is a challenge especially with a video game, hell a calculator i made in VB class was a [bleep]. even if you could copy/paste info to the bracelet stuff it still isnt that easy. you need to design aspects. and those aspects can cause glitches. sometimes starting from scratch is easier then reworking with old clay.

could have waited honestly, but really this if for the best i guess, because some1 some where would say something about overpowering melee or something i dont want to hear because i could careless about the stuff they dreamed up.
