Bah, the day the Scythes dropped I was so idiotic as to stay in one place where a crowd was, hoping that it would drop there. I never got a scythe and am thoroughly disappointed with myself. I played RSC well before RS2 came out, but I never got bunny ears, or scythes because I didn't act intelligently (and look on forums as to where they were being dropped). I do have a screenshot of when RSC basically ended, when RS2 came out :(

Holy crud, you gave a lot of sound advice, well done :) In case you're not as a quick as the author here and you can't picture how you want your house design to look like you can always use a designer such as mine. If you search the forums you'll also find lots of really nice looking house designs. Honestly, this is a good read and will help out people who are starting out or looking to plan their dream house

Sorry to bump an old topic, but this is extremely interesting stuff. You see the new nintendo console Wii is not only going to be a "revolution" because of it's controls and abilities it's claimed to have quite the array of games aimed toward non-gamers. I'm sure most people here have at least had a friend tell them about the next-gen systems but the events described in the article may eventually take place as more and more "non-gamers" get involved with the gaming crowd. Also when did most of you learn how to type? Now take that age and push it back a few years. Kids nowadays are learning to use a computer earlier than ever, it's a multimedia paradise for children with nick.com and all sorts of fun and safe activities to keep your child occupied. With people starting to use the computer earlier and earlier we'll be seeing greater advances in the internet as well as the internet laws and (hopefully) a greater public knowledge of these laws (as most people don't understand what is and what is not copyrighted on the internet so there is much plagerism out there on the 'net). Now I for one am excited for my future children (I'm only 17, I've got a while to wait) to be using a computer as soon as they can. Once they learn how to do the basic functions they can easily begin to push their mathematic and logic intelligence and advance beyond their years because of their understanding of computers. But also American obesity will surely rise as more and more people sit around on their computer all day and there will be less and less people outdoors exercising and enjoying themselves where we are meant to be.

:lol: On-Topic: You really aught to do a time capture of a busy world, that would be amazing. You could wait for the next quest start area or the F2P in-game Security Training Area Update. That picture is really cool though, it looks like it could have been from a cutscene (one that zooms out and pans around). Very snazzy looking!

Woah! Massive house, massive gardens. You must be quite the gardening man. Looks great. Man I wish I had the cash to redesign the house the way I wanted it to look like. Right now it's stuck to about six or seven rooms which I need to tear down to make it look better :( Edit: Oh yeah, Thanks for using my Designer and giving me credit :wink: 'Tis the most popular thing on my website ever and I've only shown it to this one forum. I love the Tip.it Community :)

Argh! Your guide makes me yearn for a decent game of Castle Wars! I generally have a bunch of foolhardy level 60's and 70's running amuck and not really challenging any higher level. If they understood that MULTIPLE people can take down a big guy then defending a base would go alot smoother. They need to figure out that with one man fighting a giant enemy they have little chance of success... unless that one man is an elf... Legolas to be exact (He took down a freakin' Oliphant!!!). :D

When it's displayed in a mathematical formula such as this one proving women are evil. Edit: I didn't even notice, but it must be assumed that Time=Money for this proof to work, therefore Sessie is correct :wink:

I was thoroughly confused when you just said "Lime Fireplaces". After reading a bit further I realized it was actually Limestone Fireplaces :oops: But that is how I plan on leveling up my Construction and saving all of my gold and planks to redesign my house. I started with no plan at all, but not I know what I'm doing so I can actually make a decent looking house.

I've actually been looking forward to some TET castle wars. I need lots of tickets for my skill halls and getting the red and blue armor or perhaps the next one up. Hopefully we'll have some fun games. I'm glad you chose to move it off of World 9 it is absolutely always crowded... except for 1 am here. Gotta love those late nights playing Runescape.

ACHOO! Excused me I sneezed and this post was blown up top with it. :wink: But besides that I'm still working on the counter for keeping track of the price. It's difficult as I need to have it subtract when you change or remove the room. That is more difficult than it seems with my limited knowledge of coding. Alas I'm still working on it and it's not a forgotten project (most popular thing on my site EVER).

Here's mine... *cough*USE MY DESIGNER!!!! It's 1337 */cough* :wink:

Try not to make this a flame fest :? . Now to defend myself. Have you ever taken a foreign language in school? If you haven't then this will have no meaning to you, but perhaps someone will be able to explain it further. When preparing for a vocabulary test I always write down all the terms needed and I keep on writing them. The more I write them down the deeper it become embeded into my mind. I may be trying to "convince" myself that I've done something here but even if I were to simply trying to prove to myself that I've done something there has to be an inkling of a feeling, deep down inside, that I've completed something. It doesn't matter if it's true or false, all that matters is right now and when I look back upon it years from now. There has to be some sort of sliver of myself actually "knowing" I've done something here. If I can make myself "Know" it as a fact then all the more power to me as I've fabricated my existence as you have, as we all have. It is no way wrong or bad that I think I've done something. Will you be proud when you have a child, when you are a father in ten or twenty years? Why is that then not something to be proud of, to consider that you've made an accomplishment when you're just bringing another person into the world, millions of people have done that before, what's the big deal? Do you understand now? Your opinion never mattered to me. It's wonderful that lots of people decided to post and give me encouragement and surprised me to see how many people sort of knew me on the boards. In truth no one here knows the actual person behind these lines of text. You and I both want to see a happier Runescape community and yet you are seemingly slamming down a joyus thread! Would you rather have me crying how the three adventurers and the demons made me lose five or so prayer potions? I'm trying to set an example for others, the few that haven't been around as long as you or I have. Follow my example or make yourself and example. We don't have to take the same path, so long as we reach the same place, a place where Runescape citizens are friendly towards each other, where you don't have to offer 5k for a law rune just for someone to say "more" and extort you for even more gold. One last thing, these posts are the most speech-like I've ever given on Tip.it because it feels like I have the right to. I've done something that a small percentage of the Runescape population has. Let me be happy about it, let others congratulate me. When you do something you consider amazing do you want people belittling the achievment that you consider to be great?

Really? Dang it. I counted, but I didn't have a full length either way. Thanks for the info, but it's difficult to redo the grid so I suppose it'll stay like that. Next time I do something like this I suppose I will have to count better and not just guess.

I'm not actually leaving the game :wink: . If I had to or I wanted to leave the game today or the next day or whenever, I could do so with ease as in MY MIND I've beaten Runescape. But instead of completing this life-long goal, this longstanding dream of mine, and being finally able to lay down my sword and shield and live my life as a regular human being I am now more than ever engaged in advancing my stats and seeing what lies in store for myself and my digital avatar. To clarify, I consider I have beaten the game. The Legends Quest was the last RSC quest ever released in RSC. You did not need 99's in every stat to complete Legends, neither did you need to have killed 10,000 chompy birds for a feathered hat to complete legends. To each his own. We all have some idea of what amount of the game is possible to defeat. To me I have routed the evil demon from this plane of existence thrice and to me that is beating the game, the game that I once knew, the game that exists in a living-past but is now a shell of what it truly once was. To the few that comment upon my lack of seeing any scam threads or posts or whatnot I have a comment of my own. Does a hermit, a man who lives secluded from the rest of the world, find his world cruel and unjust when he sees no poverty, no death, no nuclear war threatening his country? He sees only what he has seen and will see the next day. He lives in his own world and that is not being ignorant, it is what he sees and that is all that he can judge his world around, by the information given to him. Perhaps there were some scammers or cheater or liars floating about in RSC but they were too few to really have a presence in that world. Perhaps it may have even been the fact that the community itself was not as pessimistic as today and did not post about these scams as they knew that they were having fun and that was all that mattered. Believe me, I am an advocate of the fact that many people are not being scammed and they do not post about it. All we see are scams and "hacks" on the boards because people find it as something to post about. It's very understandable to begin to become depressed or afraid of the world in which your digital-self exists as all of the "scams" and "hacks" seem overbearing when in fact it's just that some silly people who didn't know better at the time were taken advantage of and they felt like posting and lamenting about their situation. My experiences on RSC is now a memory and that memory consists of both what I actually experienced in my limited time there as well as my limited capabilities and because our memories are fickle and they can change it may have some falsehoods in there as well. I can never know EXACTLY what happened in RSC but I do know that the overall feeling is a happiness one that IS shared with RS2 but it's a more primitive happiness as I know I was not the best, I was not a Legend or a Hero at that time so there must have been something there that made it more special. It also may be a result of my growing up that I am "less" happy with this game as sometimes I find it's harder to laugh or to smile as many other factors weigh down upon me such as knowledge that I am privy to now which I never knew four years ago. For all of you whom read this know that it is an opinion. Everything you say is an opinion as well. The definition of "Beating" the game is different for everyone else, the definition of a good time is variable for each person as it relies so much on our past experiences and just about no one goes through the exact same experiences as someone else. The only time that our words are not an opinion is when everything we say is factual, but with our natural tendency to embelish what we say it is not often we find a statement that is pure fact and not biased in any manner at all. I am not quiting, I am not giving up Runescape, I am riding the Runescape wave for as long as I am financially and physically able to do so. My mind says there is so much to do still, I better get cracking! But my heart says You've done good pal, you've done good. Thank you everyone for reading and replying with your comments it does my heart a great pleasure to hear both positive and negative comments towards my mind unfolding into this little textbox that I have spent days worth of typing in. Tip.it is a wonderful community, so vast, so intelligent, and I appreciate all that it's done for me and all the aid it's given, both the website and the community itself. This is a new time in my life. I've completed so much and I start on a new chapter of both my real and digital life. They for now are stepping in the same pace and I doubt either will be stopping anytime soon :wink: . I will endeavor to be a greater person. Not in the way of levels or digital wealth, but in sharing what wisdom I've had. There is but one problem with sharing of wisdom that I can forsee. As Siddhartha showed in Herman Hesse's novel, Unity cannot be taught, it must be experienced. Many people can say "Do good unto others" and you can say you follow along with that and believe in it, but it isn't true. The best way to truly believe in something is to experience it, be it by some action by the hand of God or by a digital stranger aiding you with no possible reward for himself, it being a selfless act. I'm sorry for going off on another tangent here but if you look closely enough there's a spiderweb connecting them all. It has truly been a treat and pleasure playing both the archaic Runescape Classic and the modern Runescape 2 and being able to watch both of them grow as well as seeing Tip.it grow and expand into it's all encompassing force that it is today. I was not there at the beginning of Runescape so my knowledge is limited in what it began as. I am confident though in what I know of the past and that I enjoyed it. Respect others beliefs and ideas and you'll see the world transform before your eyes and be a better place so long as you can not just believe it but know it.

Note:This is not a goodbye post, far from it in fact. Today, June Sixth, 2006, I beat Runescape. Yes, you read the words in front of you correctly, I think I've beaten Runescape. Thousands of you, Hundreds of thousands more likely, are saying "That's not possible unless your name is in the High Scores and have all 99's and have killed all the chompies and have Killed Dagganoth Kings and etc." Today with about an hour left I officially completed the Legends Quest and therefore have completed all that RSC once held for me. I've been playing this game for somewhere around four years and perhaps I actually made the account a year before that, but never really touched it. Runescape has been riding along with me for all four years of my High School Career. Just recently (June Second) I graduated from High School and have been accepted into the college of my choice (that was earlier, but just throwing that into the mix). To me I feel like this the apex of my Runescape career and also my High School Life. Runescape "Classic" as it is being called was the most amazing game. I personally never saw a single thread or post about someone being "scammed" or "hacked" letalone a person actually trying to scam someone out of their hard earned gold. In RSC I wanted to be a powerful player and do all that sort of stuff and had delusions of grandeur (typical Freshman stuff right :wink: ) how my character was so much more "awesome" than everyone else. I've changed so much in the past four years, not from some Psychotherapist, or medications, or strict control over my life, I am a kid who is free to do as he pleases so long as it doesn't get anyone into too severe of trouble, understand that I'm your average kid with parental rules and guidelines lowering above my head. I changed through my own doings. I "developed" into who I am today and that is what the High School Experience is all about. Runescape Classic stayed constant and was there along with me as I grew and "developed". It is today that I say that I have finally concluded a chapter in my life. The Runescape that I once knew is no longer an ever-present red text in my quest list, now it is but a Green blur along with the rest of the RS2 quests that muddle about there. I do not dislike RS2, if I did this would be a goodbye thread because I have beaten all of the old and all that is left is the new. RS2 is a wonderful game and I'm sticking with it for as long as it's willing to go on. It is now that I have reached a no going back stretch of land. Now that the final quest EVER made for RSC has been completed I have no link to the past except the screenshots I took (which number at about 1) and the name I wear proudly as people hover their cursors over my digital avatar. I still can access RSC on the Jagex page as I was one of the fortunate few that decided to log on a week or two before the cut off date and see how things were going on in the living-past. Now with nothing to connect me to RSC I am left almost emptied as I must continue my existence knowing that there is nothing left for me to look back upon and remember the "good ol' days" when my now strong character was simply average and yet I still managed to have immensly good times with people I have never shooken hands with, made eye-contact with, knew in the real world. I leave behind many friends I knew in RSC who are most assuredly no longer active in the game. They are gone and my memories of them begin to fade away with them. I have made some truly unique and interesting friends during my time in RS2 but none have that same bond that I had with these RSC men. We were there at the beginning of the game, when there were no 3D player characters, when we had simple minds. Now the world advances and so do we but it seems always to have been more fun in RSC. The grass is always greener on the other side I suppose. Do not take this as a sad thread or a thread lamenting about a fallen game. Take this thread and read it with celebration in mind for I have completed nearly four years of work on this day. The future, while always uncertain to every man, will be bright for both the game and myself. I will carry on and live my Runescape life to the fullest and enjoy the gifts of RS2. But forever will a part of my digital-heart belong to RSC. It was there as I grew and it may not be there in five years from now, a year from now, a month from now, or even a tomorrow it could be taken off of the 'net and it too would fade out of my memory just as the old friends it once exposed me too but mark these words, it is written down that RSC was a game for true people and there was no room for unkind words to be shed. Know that RSC will always be greater than the latest version of Runescape as it was the first, it was the closest community ever. I may have been young then but old enough to remember the world as it was and it was a grand one at that. No matter what I have said above (it is often that I go off on tangents) since having "beaten" Runescape I have never felt such an urge to train, to build up what stats that are miniscule in comparison to my other more impressive stats. The noble art of Herblore is my first target and soon I will move onto the next, completing each quest as it comes by and reveling in the fact that I know something that these younger/newer players do not know, and that is the glory of what the game truly was, I will be confident in that fact for as long as the digital blood keeps pumping through the veins of my old and tired avatar. He and I have had quite the journey. It does not end here, no, this is just a quick rest before the real adventure begins. Sorry for the length, normall I wouldn't post this but the feeling of pride and accomplishment was too much to bare alone. I will understand if few reply or it becomes locked, I know now that I have done what I came here to do and if I were to quit tomorrow, that would be okay by me. Below is a picture of what I've completed from the day RS2 was released (publicly) to today (June 6th, 2006). I was F2P in RSC and I moved up to P2P sometime in 2004 when I received a debit card. Note the Legends cape :wink: . Thanks to everyone who read through and posted. This is my mind being thrown out onto a canvas. I may refine it just as I plan on refining a speech I will post everytime an infamous member of our illustrious forums decides to retire.

Seems like such a western showdown. Tumbleweeds roll past the Falador Park as the mysterious mage of malevolance walks through the gates. Eying the numerous merchanters his eyes glint with the sight of gold being traded hands and his mouth waters as he sees rare and unique items being passed around. He reaches deep into his wizard robes, now covered in frost from the hundreds of ice spells he had been casting. He finds what he wants. With a fistful of Runes he raises his ancient staff high above his head and lets his ancient magicks loose unto this unsuspecting crowd. Limbs are frozen, people shout out in fear and outrage. A man a small distance away admiring some fancy hats notices this unusual sight. Whispering onto the winds he says "Bring in the JMods". Mystic light begins to emenate around the mage and soon he is surrounded by men in wizard robes, dragon chainmail, black dragonhide, and many other equipment of powerful presentation. The mage begins to cast out his spell as the JMods move in. An Epic battle breaks loose as this nefarious mage battles the very makers of the world in which he exists. Blasts of ice and fire are released from the mage slaying several of the JMods, only for them to reappear moments later, stronger than the last time. As the battle rages on the Mage soon finds himself without a rune in his pocket. Thoroughly exhausted he throws down his staff and hangs his head low. The JMods approach with caution but some have a grin of victory on their face. Unfortunately victory was not to be had as the Mage withdraws a large Runite blade and lunges towards the JMods. That was the last straw. With a few words in a mechanical language the mage ceased to exist. Thus ends the tale of the battle with the Jmods. :)

His name was Thrandor. Bah! You beat me to it! I jumped onto RSC for about five seconds and I happend to already be in Varrock so I snapped this photo of my visit with the armour-sex-changing man.

Updating the program with a couple tweaks. Will edit main post in a minute.

I was going to jump up in joy saying "YES! That's the guy!" but the name sounded too familiar and I took a look at the armour shop in the current Varrock and that would be Horvick. :(

Dang! Looks really good. But can you really have 3 floors above ground? I thought it was only two above ground and one below. But alas, I'm too poor to try building another floor. Looks great and I hope you finish your house to that level of complexity.

You've got your times messed up.... Central is an hour behind Eastern and Pacific is several hours behind Eastern. Try using this. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

But in RSC they were completely EQUAL. Think of it this way if it was made so that you could change legs to skirts and skirts to legs the prices would be the same and there would no longer be a division between the types because if you wanted a set of plate legs go to your house/friends house and hammer them out. I think it would be a good idea but I do miss that Smith in Varrock that would change the armor types.

Glad to see some critiques of it. Unfortunately I'm at work, but when I get home I'll get cracking on all of these. Thanks for the reassurance everyone.

Hey ladies and Gentlemen this is Tefda here and I'm proud to present to you my very own POH Designer. In light of recent events I've noticed everyone's going crazy with POH designs and I too was interested in seeing what my house COULD look like. Unfortunately my Spatial Intelligence isn't quite top notch. So instead I created This program to both help myself out as well as the community. It took me about two-three hours work to make it and then the whole writing it up into a webpage and make a small navbar button for it. It is slightly rushed as I wanted to make sure that I was the first to make this and as far as I know I am :wink: . You'll find directions on the page and I hope you all enjoy The First POH Designer. To anyone who will just say "Ur advertizing...noob!" I would like to say to you "Have you seen the recent events? It's about Construction, I'm contributing to the people busy with construction. Others have released web-based apps and posted them in General P2P when they were brand new as well." Thank you for your time ;) Edit: I forgot to mention, Suggestions are readily accepted and for this will be taken very seriously under consideration. The one thing I can think of to NOT put in is a dungeon map as I know very little about the Dungeons. I do plan on expanding this further, but for now I've got the "First" title. List of Suggestions byFurious_F [*:38qnovbo]Some of the pictures used for the rooms haven't been neatly cut out or compressed (jpeg'ed! yuck! :P at least, that's how your combat room icon looks to me)DONE! [*:38qnovbo]Insert the name of the room--DONE! [*:38qnovbo]Make the doors more clear (thicker, other colour) --Thicker! [*:38qnovbo]Option to rotate the room (specifically, the doors)--DONE! [*:38qnovbo]Remove the red double dotted-line and make it a single grid--I kind of Like it :wink: [*:38qnovbo]Add a counter that keeps track of the costs for building the rooms--Not doing it :( My House Design(Old Screenshot) You can see that this CAN be a useful tool for your planning, even if you've already poured thousands into your house, plan AROUND you already built house and design a great looking house today! EDIT: Just updated with a little costume room just to reflect the changes that took place today. Massive update to Rotation, able to switch between Dungeon and Homestead, AND you will not lose your design by switching between them (Fairly proud of that part).

Here's my house design... In case you're ogling at what you see above I'll let you in on a little secret... I made it!!!!!! That nifty little program will be release in under twenty-four hours for your using pleasure, I'll be getting most of it done within the next couple of hours so long as I don't fall asleep in my chair.
