No it wasn't a bad decision as without miniclip Jagex would obviously be making less money which in turn goes towards staff which inturn goes towards improving the game. So it was a good decision to put it there. Secondly I'm annoyed at the people who say Jagex are just after the money. I know and speak to several mods in game often and know that they do listen to players. A lot of time I have Mod Mark or Paul asking me what I thought of the update and have often discussed potential changes to the game with Mod Mark. Seeing as Mod Mark and Paul are both high up in Jagex I think that'd indicate that Jagex DO care about their "customers" and what they want within the game. Unfortunatly there's millions of people who play the game and what each individual person wants is different from everyone else.

Not sure if it's been said yet but it's more than likely a "safety" feature. If it was allowed you'd see A LOT more people complaining about having lost their items, either by giving it to a "friend" or by someone interfering with your drop trade. If Jagex built a proper system for transferring items between accounts it would make a "hackers" job a lot more simple. So if they say it is allowed they have one of two choices, make a lot more people lose items or people lose a lot more items.

It's hard enough to find a server to KQ on when all are available, when you're left with a small amount of servers that aren't lootshare are going to be packed with soloers, thus forcing you to go to lootshare servers. And the problem still stands, for example at GWD I go with one other person, we could be using lootshare ourselves, a group fo 5 come who are also using lootshare, the 5 of them will most likely deal more damage than 2 combined and will get the drop 99% of the time, whereas before the 2 people stood a decent enough chance of getting the drop.

Lootshare could ruin some bosses. For example I'm soloing the KQ and have done just over 1/3 damage to it myself. Then two people come with Lootshare and do just under 1/3 damage each. Normally I'd get the drop but with this new method they'd get the drop. It's just a new method for people who don't want to work for their loot can "steal" kills much much more simply.

This has been known for quite some time now, for example abyssals drop coins with their clue. Note that you can still get addy darts seperatly and that some monsters don't have a fixed drop for their clues (Mith Dragons for example) Visage is dropped with any other item, and so are monster heads so it's perfectly possible to get a dragon chain/kq head or abyssal whip/abyssal head in the same drop. Or even Dragon Large/Draconic visage drop together if you're REALLY lucky... Note to you not: I should have my internet fixed and RS-able sometime early november so hopefully around that time we can do more of you sitting there whlie I get attacked by a level 650 again.

Phew, we're back. Down for the best part of 2 days. Didn't expect it to do be down for nearly that length of time. Important thing is that it's back up now though and hopefully no harm was done.

The newest announcement just did, and he posted some topics on general, luckily those topics were deleted fast, but not before they got a fair amount of views >_

Yep, shame no other admins are on, tallest needs to banned asap. Don't think mods have the ability to ban people, well not other admins anyway!

I'm sure you've seen the announcements made by tallest... sounds like something bad is going on #-o

No. Runescape is a game where death means something, in most other MMORPGs when you die there's hardly any penalty. Unless players get more hit points then we won't see extremely strong monsters for a while. There's also the fact that monsters can not have more than 255hp due to the way it's been assigned, the only way to get around this is with a KQ-esque boss. Mith dragons and the GWD bosses are pretty "strong" and some of the toughest monsters in the game. As I said you won't be getting bosses much stronger than the GWD ones unless there's a change in the gameplay mechanics invovling player stats.

What are you talking about? If anything Sun would be more likely to add java support to the wii (If it's Sun that has to do it and not opera/nintendo) due to the fact that Sun are effectivly "at war" with Microsoft. Can you please learn to type correctly and once you've done that don't spout random rubbish that you have no idea what you're talking about. Thanks.

Skills are constantly becoming "Easier". For example I got my 99 range a long time ago now and now it's become a lot easier due to the chinchompas. It does annoy me a bit that I spent hours upon hours getting 99 range and putting a lot of effort in to it and now people can get it a lot quicker than I did.

Back from when there was no Dragon scimitar I believe dragon long wasn't even used for training by a lot of people instead they opted for a mystic battle staff. Of course against "Stronger" monsters dragon long was better but there wasn't really a wide range of monsters like we had today, slayer wasn't even around back then so most people used battle staves and killed things such as earth warriors. Then when dragon scimitar did come out (Note: NOT with monkey madness, it infact came out quite a bit later) it became the most used weapon due to it being a lot quicker for training than both Dragon long and Mystic battle staves. Dragon scimitar is better than dragon long in most cases where you're training and of course abyssal whip outclasses the dragon scimitar.

You do realize that 133MiB is bigger than 128MB Yeah, it's higher. However, you should also realize that 133MiB is the full extent of the Wii's hardware, including that which it uses for graphics, internal processes, etc. That's why I say it'll be difficult to port it in. its not hard disk space... its just its temp. memory that needs to be above 128mb... (my pc runs on 2000mb) Well done for pointing something else that everyone was talking about anyway! I can't see one place someone talked about hard drive space in the people you quoted... :wall: I also highly highly doubt Jagex would make a Wii Version of Runescape due to the fact that Nintendo have a rubbish online plan. Based on what Nintendo are doing at the moment they'd never introduce an MMO that relies on talking to other people and such. If this was Microsoft/Sony then we might stand a chance but no way in hell would it work with Nintendo's stupid thoughts about online. So the ONLY way you'll be able to play Runescape on the wii is if Sun/Opera/Nintendo or whoever needs to do it brings Java to the wii and even then as stated hundreds of times in this thread I doubt the Wii has the correct system requirements to even play the game very efficiently.

Yes, that is due to the Wii Opera Internet Browser not supporting Java.

This thread made me head hurt. About 80% of the people in here have NO idea what they're talking about and are just spurting rubbish like it's fact. 1) Wii has SOME flash support, it's a little bit outdated now though so can't run everything but it can run the fast majority of web based flash websites such as Youtube. 2) Java support for the Wii, it could very well happen if Nintendo will allow it. Java is pretty much everywhere, almost every device uses it in some shape or form. For example most mobile phones, freeview boxes and certain things within your car all have java. So java for the wii isn't a wild idea and they probably are working on it. 3) World of Warcraft will never come out for anything else, just because someone said the Wii has a hard drive (Which it doesn't) that doesn't mean the game can come out for the Wii, not only is it's flash memory far too small for the game I doubt it'd even be able to run given the Wii's specs, of course they could port it but that'd involve having to change the game code and thus make making updates to it completly different to the PC version of the game and thus making it impossible to contact 99% of the gaming world, a very bad move on Blizzard's part if they were to do such a thing. Just because Runescape will be playable due to it being browser based doesn't mean every game under the sun could be ported. Think I had more comments to make but can't remember them as of now. To summarise: Yes, when Java support eventually comes out for the Wii's Opera based Internet channel we should be able to play Runescape on Wii, although probably not very well even on low detail due to the Wii's low system memory.

It's not a question on if it works or not, it does work. It's a question if it's worth it or not. As someone else has mentioned in this thread using something like a warrior ring makes you kill monsters quicker. If RoW gives a 10% better chance of a rare drop and warrior ring makes you kill them 10% faster which is best? Personally I'd go for a warrior ring, you get MORE drops which if you pick up stackables will add up and not to mention the extra experience you'd get in the same amount of time. This is why, in my opinion ring of wealth is useless if you're meleeing. Range and mage are a different story in my opinion, although I've never really used an archer ring or a seers ring.

What you could do is go to the memberlist and search for that user then go through all their posts until you find the topic. Just got to hope they're not the type of person that spams a bunch of crap on the general forums, but those people generally don't have topics worth reading anyway!

I've had to cancel my membership as my internet at university is a bunch of crap and they're forcing me to pay ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã130 just so I can play runescape online, don't need any of the other features I get with that. And am wondering if my kingdom will still collect while I'm f2p? I have enough money in there to last the time I'll be f2p for (Got the max amount in the there) and it would be nice to get a few weeks more supplies while I try and resolve my internet issues. Thanks to those who help.

You may also receive them as drops from a number of beasts around RuneScape (ankou in the Stronghold of Security, for instance). From the Runescape knowledge base page on battlestaves. http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... le_id=1854

They've done multiple updates to 2hs actualy. Atleast two, maybe three. Can't remember a single update to any other weapon type (Default ones anyway)

Technically Lunar is most useful with the spellbook change spell but as I'm not 96 magic nor have I done the second quest in the series (can't remember what it's called now...) I generally stick to normal spellbook.

I know a couple of famous people who play some other online games, not Runescape though. What is annoying though is multiple times people have thought I'm someone famous just because I share the same name as him (Middle name included too). Only some Brits will know who this is though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tindall I don't mind people asking me I'm him, what I don't like though is people calling me a liar when I say that's my name when I never even pretend to be him :wall:

Jagex do need to go through player wearable items and update them though as the vast majority of them are outdated compared to what NPCs have. Would be a HUGE update though as they'd have to change the animations of a lot of items to make them look better too, but it's an update that does need to be done.
