400-something, or even 500 is the record. And 1.

If it was Jagex's game, they wouldn't be altering the game to suit the desire of a purported, albeit vocal, "majority". Man – you can tell that there's no one at Jagex who is a parent. The Pker's have been behaving like children in a department store, screaming about how they want (a certain toy) the "old wildy" back, and instead of curbing the unruly child's behaviour and telling them to sit the [bleep] down and shut up, they've been filling the shopping cart with a variety of items, time and again, in an effort to appease the screaming child. "Here, screaming child, how about "Bounty Hunter"?" "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" "Here, screaming child, how about "Fist of Guthix"?" "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" "Here, screaming child, how about "Clan Wars"?" "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" "Here, screaming child, how about "Soul Wars"?" "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" Nothing they have tried has managed to appease these people. Why in the hell do they think that bringing back the "old wildy" will work? What they need to do is behave like responsible parents and take the gods damned child out of the store, already and be done with it. Actually – no there isn't. There is a "majority" of people who want "the wilderness and free trade" back. There's a difference. A HUGE DIFFERENCE. If they wanted to make this poll realistic, then they should separate the two items completely. They are, in fact, two separate issues. And if you'd bother to read the other threads about "the old wilderness", you'd notice that what these people want is not "the old wildy" back, but rather a modified variation thereof wherein extremes, dunge weapons and other top-quality equipment isn't allowed, because it might "unbalance" combat. :roll: As I've said before, I don't give a rat's ass if they bring back the wilderness or not, or they allow free-trade or not, I will adapt and play regardless. What annoys me is that Jagex has back-pedalled on this entire issue and, once again, demonstrated poor leadership – which will be followed by further poor decisions, poor programming and more [bleep]ing, whining and crying by this imaginary "majority" of players. :rolleyes: Bits of your language and tone aren't very becoming, and I would appreciate it if you toned down the swearing and ranting. This isn't the Rants forum. Thinking and censoring/rewriting a bit before hitting Enter is always a good idea, and I often use that technique myself aswell. :) Back to topic: I am not sure how you can draw a conclusion about the Jagex Mods' real life based on how the company they work for listens to the majority of their young and adult players when implementing huge changes. I could make similar theories to support my view (A zoo decides to stop feeding the lion meat, and instead gives it various vegetables - then decides it's a bad idea, even though there are more varied vegetables and that veggies are better for many animals, and the zoo gives the lion meat again. Zoo = Jagex, lion = a lot of players, meat = old wilderness, vegetables = PvP minigames), yet all it does is telling a story about something else and it proves nothing about the given situation. If you want to quote me, at least quote the full sentence - that is common courtesy, and helps preventing quoting out of context. :) What I see on the various discussion topics is a generally positive attitude towards the old Wilderness. Many players have missed it, including myself. :) I am sorry that you chose to disregard some of my post, and compared pkers to crying children. A big part of them are, again, older than the average player base, and many of them have been playing for a very long time. Now I am not sure where your assumption about people wanting a Wildy Light version to avoid the complexity and possible imbalance of one where most equipment, potions and prayers are allowed. Like in the past, many clans stay in F2P for this very reason - and some pkers aswell. In fact, there are very few P2P based clans, and one of the reasons is because it is very expensive for the involved players. This won't change much, if at all, and these players have thoroughly expressed that they want something as close to the old Wilderness as possible. You asked if I had read any of the other topics about this, and yes, I have. On the different forums on Tip.It, on RSOF, on several clan forums and on a few other fansites. In addition I have been listening in on the discussions in some of the clan chats I frequent. Clans is something I take a special interest in, even though I am not a part of the Clan Staff anymore, so I make sure to keep myself updated on changes that may have an effect on the clan world and the views on it. I am sure you can find single quotes supporting your opinion that they "all" want a modified version, but the general tone is that they are very excited about the suggested implementation. Whether Jagex has showed good leadership or not, time will tell. However, taking feedback from the customer base in different areas is one of the main things I would consider important - in addition to creating publicity and securing a healthy company economy. To me, it looks like they are doing that quite well. :thumbup: When it comes to players whining... "Glass house" is my only comment to that.

It's Jagex' game, not YOUR or THEIR (referring you other players) game. Sorry to disappoint you there, Blyaunte. They can make the decisions they want to, and we can choose to rage quit, quietly quit or continue and adapt. There IS a vast majority that wants the old wilderness back - as shown by the poll and discussion topics here, on RSOF and on other RS related forums - and pkers aren't the only ones. You are forgetting a huge force; clans. Personally I am looking forward to seeing the return of some of the major clans that have closed for various reasons, and I want to see what they can do against the established clans that are currently fighting for and sitting on the top 10 places - unofficially, of course. For someone to imply that pkers and clanners are simply greedy, mean or unintelligent kids would be more than just rude. It would be generalising and directly wrong. Many clans have age limits or a high average age (around 20) compared to the average players. What they are doing is also not morally or ethically wrong, they are just focusing on another part of the gameplay than the majority, that does a little of all. Jagex have said loud and clear that not much gameplay will be affected when it comes to minigames/activities and quests that are situated in the current revenant guarded wilderness. I trust them to think these things over, and I am sure they have more things planned than they can tell us right now - especially in case something is more difficult to code than expected. Free trade I have no strong opinions about, we got used to trade limits, we'll get used to other changes aswell. Doomsaying is for people who wants everything to stay constant, something that will not happen in the real world and most certainly not in a game world. I hope they give this update a shot, and then they can rebalance when needed.

Proper voting now, and they are coming in FAST... :unsure:

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. <3: If old Wildy comes back, that is very promising for the clan world's future, and I am looking forward to see how everything evolves - from a slightly different angle than before.

Hi all, Some of you have already noticed my change of rank and have asked me about it - so posting this. I have resigned because of real life reasons, and while it was a difficult decision to make, it was also the right one. I want to thank everyone here for a great time, and for making my time on Clan Staff and forums more busy enjoyable. It's been a great run, and despite not having been as active as desired lately, I am proud of the progress that the clan section and the users have made since I started. The post quality overall has improved, people have become more involved in influencing decisions and making great suggestions, and I have had lots of fun. I even gained a few trolling levels, which I am sure will be useful in real life. Anyway, thanks for this time and have a great holiday and a happy new year! <3: Laila

Hi all, Since the OP of the Hilt "theory" topic decided to use out of context quotes to support something that people obviously didn't support, in addition to changing the poll to reflect other opinions than originally intended, we have decided to simply remove the topic from view. This is so that this topic couldn't be used to make fun of Tip.It users at a later time or similar. Hopefully you understand this, and if you have a strong wish of retrieving one or several of your posts from this topic because you spent a lot of time writing them, you can of course contact me or another Administrator and we will try to help you find them. :) Laikrob, Tip.It Administrator

Topic cleaned, and thanks for your correction. :) Will look into it and fix it if the information in the Clan Chronicle is indeed incorrect, and we do appreciate and welcome such corrections. Laikrob, Clan Chronicle Editor

Hi all, Yesterday we received the sad news about a former Administrator and long time community member Alduron's (RSN Idpup) passing: The Administrator team sends his family and loved one many thoughts, and we will keep him in our hearts forever. Here you can post some final words if you wish to, or share your stories.

After careful review, we have come to the decision that as one of the articles directly touches the subject of unfair criticism, the removed posts have been merged back to this topic. (And no, it had nothing to do with the post questioning discussion on discussion boards.) However, keep in mind that this is not a get out of jail free card; personal attacks or naming anyone in a negative light is still not allowed. Please tread carefully when discussing this specific topic, as it can easily become heated. I apologise for any inconvenience the temporary removal of posts may have caused. Laikrob, Tip.It Administrator.

Just a reminder: 3 posts were removed for this reason, some of which had other content aswell. If you find your post missing and want a copy to repost the on topic part, please send me a PM. Laikrob, Tip.It Administrator.

I just enjoy watching my levels raise, and the ones I have left under 99 aren't ones I plan to train. So sure, bring on the 120's. :thumbup:

Happy 11th! <3:

Best of luck on that, then. :D

Hiya, long time no see. :) Very nice and congrats on the levels and drops! (Saw them on another board too, but didn't have time to comment yet.) Are you back for a while now?

Last warning to keep personal attacks out of this, and a reminder to stay on topic - which, in case you didn't notice, isn't "how much EA sucks, and why". Thanks. :thumbup: Laikrob, Clan Staff

General opinions are allowed, personal attacks not so much. :thumbdown: Keep it cleanish. Laikrob, Clan Staff

Just a typo fix: Amphibian -> Amphibious Otherwise great guide, used it to unlock the 10 and going to work on my mask now. :) Edit: Maskified. :thumbsup:

I thought Peter didn't show RL pics? O:) Nah, looks good, and definitely peaked my interest. :) Anyway, forgot to thank you for the tutorial links you posted earlier. Loved them!!!

If you keep your hunting outfits in your POH, you have 9 available spots. It's not a big deal to go by the house when you're going to hunt, and even if you're on lunar or it means buying House Tabs, it's worth those 9 spaces. Also, talk to the skill rock guy at Varrock Museum so you can get a Rock Collector Bag. All skill rocks = 1 bank space. :thumbup:

Please join and help the cause. No more double posting! :unsure:

Don't you mean total Runescape domination, with your foil armour? Or something like that... Did you not hear, Tip.it is secretly made up of all the major world leaders in secret. The perfect place to discuss with no spies. Let me introduce you to the clan world. :cool:

Locked on topic poster's request. Laikrob, Tip.It Administrator.

I would love to, but at my current computer (normal one is down) I have no chance in hell. 45 sec lag spikes don't help much on an already bad response time. :unsure: Great initiative, though. :thumbup:
