Runescape and real world history?
If the Barrows thing you're talking about was about a place called "Barrow" then that's not what it's based on, wiki barrows and you'll see. Saying barrows is based on something irl is like saying bows are based on something irl...

Do you have a "lucky" server?
Yep. Who knows what factors Jagex throws in into their "random" drop formula. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed It's likely that time is a factor in drops and it wouldn't surprise me if the things about the server are used in calculating it too :)

Do you have a "lucky" server?
I think I've found mine in the past week. Did a DK trip, got 2 axes and a zerker ring, pretty good for a 2 man trip. My best trip ever. Did another dk trip the other day and got an axe plus some other decent drops. Yesterday had 170 gargs for slayer, got 4 larges, 2 mauls, a clue and 3 pairs of addy boots. Got Zammy bracers from the clue :) Just done a 137 Nech task, got 4 pairs of boots and 2 larges my best nech trip ever, and it wasn't even that big of a task. So, do you have a server that you find luckier than others and if so what makes that server lucky? Just for those interested, It's world 31 :)

Best Clue Reward Ever? Post it here.
As said above it's 1/1000000. Also, why wouldn't jagex allow it? It's possible to get 6 third age items from a clue just like any other item. AFAIK each clue part gets you a "reward", a "random" number is generated then compared to a list of items, if the number matches to that of an item you get that item. Simple as. Unless of course Jagex has a different method of getting clue reward rares like they do with monster drops but I doubt that.

Pest Control
I don't Jagex thought people would abuse it by just killing the Portals which is why the experience is so "high". Jagex have just failed to nerf it since people did start abusing it.

a victory for pkers
I think that firecape should get destroyed, but instead of having to earn it again you could buy it back from the guy for about 50k tokkul? Rune defender should also get destroyed and gotten back the same way. For Fighter Torso it'd cost you 125 points of each to get it back after getting it for the first tme. For the Rune kites and larges you can trim in your house, when you dropped them they'd return to normal items and thus can be traded. This would greatly reduce the people using these items to pk and get the good loot back again.

a victory for pkers
Barrows Gloves are the most annoying thing to lose when you die. can't get them back again like Defenders and they're not tradeable so the other person can't get them. Have to pay 130k each time you die as you can't run back to get them =/

Your 'lucky' item
My Lucky addy square. Took it at DKs and got an axe and a zerker ring in a short space of time. Then took it to abbies and got my first whip in 1000 demons. Although I stupidly took it pking and lost it :(

This kid just died..
Aha! Showing off your phats in the public? :shame: Yes, because they're going to do a lot of good in my bank aren't they :roll: I can't remember why I had them both on me, was almost 2 years ago now. 23 months ago to be exact ;) But yeah, I lagged out then logged back in in lumbridge, party hat less :(

Just thought I would share this
The "chicken" suit they're referring too could be the outfit you have to wear in the Eagle's Peak. Although I didn't check when the article was written :P

Cannon - Is it really "Noobish"?
Going to a server with people already there then setting up a cannon is a "noobish" thing to do. When I used cannon at the Enclave I had to switch to find an empty world. Occasionaly If I saw 2 worlds with 1 person in them each I'd ask if one of them wouldn't mind changing. Back then you can change instantly so it wasn't much of a problem and they were happy to do it most of the time.

Bah Lagging out... Lost my Green and Purple because I lagged out =/ Stupid random events. That was a few days after a "friend" stole my red on my birthday :( Worst.Week.Ever

Free half wines woo0t?
I didn't find out about the duping until it was fixed :( Beta was one of my favourite RS moments though, great times. Felt like I was just starting all over again.

Guess what I found..
I must have seen this for the first time about a year ago, gets posted every few months.

Group Chat...What happened?
Eh. They NEVER said anything about group chat in the January BTS. What they did say was with SS being illegal that they're working on a Clan Chat system which would be released soon. It didn't appear in January BTS. It will come out when it's ready. End of discussion.

6 February 2007 - Fremennik Isles
Same :( Still haven't done the quest from last week... I really should get round to doing it. Haven't done Tarn's Lair or whatever it's called either.

A "Fixed" Skill - Can you Afford a House?
Slayer ;) Some point along the line you're going to get rockslugs or something which require an item. Banshees etc are killable without the item, you'll just need a lot of restore pots ;) Although with Tears of guthix you can get every skill to 99 without spending a penny :P

Woodcutting Analysis: Dragon Axe vs. Rune Axe
If you cut 8% faster, then cutting 10k yews is equivilent to ~9.25k with rune. Time wise. Which is ~ 4 hours? In those extra 4 hours spare you could for example craft natures and make ~ 400k an hour which is an extra 1.6M gp. So for 20k logs cut with dragon, using the spare time to craft natures you'll have earned enough to get your axe back. wait, maybe im misunderstanding something, are you saying it takes you 4 hours to cut 750 yew logs? According to the stats in this topic it's 199 yews per hour with rune, and 216 with dragon. So yeah, about 4 hours for 750 yew logs (with rune)

Mails from (fake) Jagex getting anoying...
No Are you sure (j/k :lol:)? Thanks, I appreciate it, I can now log in at peace. :D EDIT: ^^WRONG!^^ After doing a scan, I found out it that stupid site gave me some nasty Spyware! I was able to block it and change my password, so it's now no longer a problem, but if anybody gets an e-mail like that, delete it, right away. I;'m glad I caught that before a hacking happened... And what proof do you have it's from that site? To get Spyware and viruses from Websites you have to download them to your computer by accepting the files. If you got spyware It's most likely from another source. If you want to reduce spyware and whatnot don't use IE. You will NOT get a keylogger from such sites unless you're stupid and download random files.

Teamspeak
I personally don't use Ventrillo or Teamspeak as I don't really pk much any more and am not in a clan. I use Skype though to talk to my friends while doing other stuff.

Those sites do not keylog you. They trick you into thinking it's the runescape site so you type in your username/password which gets sent to them. No idea why anyone is discussing keyloggers when they're not used.

Highest Rank Player without a 99 skill?
Pest Control most probably. to have ONLY 99 attack you'd require high defence and strength too which would lead to a lot of hits experience, more than enough for 99 hits most probably ;) i doubt that, i see alot of people with 99 attack with only attack as their 99 combat stat, infact my friends clan most the high leveled players were 99 attackers... their was like 13 with 99 attack without any other 99 combat, like 90 str and def 95 hp 99 attack. and this was just before pc. kinda like me i am 99 atk no other melees 99 except hits... range training boost hp so high as well as train to 99 atk If you were 122 combat and had 99 attack you'd need high melee stats too which would most probably get you 99 hits. Either that or they have really high prayer. 99 attack, 98 defence/strength/hp with 75 prayer is 122 combat, but if you had 98 strength and defence along with 99 attack you'd have 99 HP. This is also assuming you have no range or mage experience.
