I read this whole thread, and honestly.. are you a troll? You cannot honestly believe it would be just "Oh let's click this button, boom RS2006, it cost us nothing, yay money and happy players!" The group that is asking for 2006 RS has always, always [bleep]ed, moaned, and complained about every update. Jagex updates once a week, and every week brings change. Deal with it. If you don't like it, quit. RS 2006 is not coming back, I think that's clear to anyone with half a brain. Jagex has always been stubborn, they've made their choice on EOC and if they divert I will honestly be surprised. I'm not saying EOC doesn't need work, but it's here to stay - no matter what the player base says. I don't know why people continue to have faith that if they complain enough it will go away. Jagex invested tons in it, now they're in it for the long run. So offer advice, complaints, things you'd like to see change, but please quit asking for pre EOC or 2006RS because you're wasting your breath.

Rudder>Crew>Morale Hull>Decks>Sea Hull Also, sounds like you have bad luck, with just lvl 7 scythe teams I was able to 80-100% almost everything until I had enough jade to get upgrades to ship\crew and the ability to 100% a lot more often. I went Rudder > some crew > 4th ship > rest of crew > then what he said. :D

What ZMI altar did you do that gave 60k xp/hr? :P But on topic, I'm with most everyone else. This is going to sound like a hurt ex-girlfriend but I have seen this, and many more promises from Jagex to fix what I so desperately believe needs to be fixed and they always do a piss-poor job of fixing it, if they fix it at all, then brush it off with a "look we fixed the problem" (e.g. damage boost to Nex sets.) I have played this game for close to 9 years and I still love it, but I know better than to give Jagex anything more than hopeful optimism, even that might be too much. I was rounding, I think the exact was somewhere around 54-57 but couldn't remember :L OT: I was getting more like 35-40. :o dat xpwaste

I found my first day in the hook to be extremely easy, and I got all my deck upgrades and some new crew but the past 3 days have been ridiculous.. sending out 50-70's constantly, failed a little under half. Sucks because then I can't upgrade to pass them.

Meg for the week: Meg - "So I decided that I need to get in touch with my spiritual side. I'm heading into Lumbridge to learn the secrets of the Saradominist church there." Meg - "You know, the one by the graveyard. Any advice?" Options: 1. Kill some goblins and bury their bones. - I chose. 2. Be quiet and polite. It is a place of worship, after all. 3. Talk to Xenia in the nearby graveyard. She is an experience adventurer. 4. Be sure to go in disguise. Meg - "Mhm, yep, got that. Just let me write that down...how do I spell that?" Meg - "Oh, while I've got you - I was planning on seeing if I could use a bow and arrow as a sort of grappling hook thing. What do you think? Options: 1. Use the arrows as footholds instead. 2. You'd be better off using a crossbow. - I chose. 3. Arrows aren't generally good at holding weight. Meg - "Oh, okay. I think I can handle that." Meg - "I want to cross terrain faster. What animals are safe to ride?" (possible mount spoiler :P) Options: 1. None that I know of. - I chose. 2. I guess unicorns, if you can tame them. 3. I'd stick to going on foot. When she gets back I'll let you know if my answers were right or not. :D

@Saradomin Mage for port stat table, etc. Dunno if you're in the hook yet.

Actually sounds more like the crew member would steal the partial mission reward. But that's just because it's called pilferer. Might be exactly what you said :P I would imagine it does not affect actual fail/success rate, only if you roll for a "partial success" where no one is hurt and you get less supplies than you went for, that it bumps it up to a full success. That's how I read it anyways. I would hope it doesn't bump it down to a failure, I hope the pilferering is from your enemies. You keep the 3 active ones that were available and not hired, but your rerolls max at 15. Also for whoever said "can only get 1 trade good per mission blahblah"

If trade goods are that rare it's going to be some rare armour for a long time..

for the database

I had 2 adventurers today, Missionary and Whaler - did both storylines but they both offered an alternative for gunpowder. Did both of my story progression special missions, unlocks nothing and rewards nothing besides a bit of a backstory. Maybe it'll help me later on, otherwise - cool thanks for gunpowder waste. The two gunpowder missions that disappeared did not become normal mission rerolls as someone implied they might. Also missions today were significantly easier, I didn't fail any. Fully upgraded ship and decently stacked crew with 77% through skulls. (Sirens own.) Gl tomorrow mateys. :D

saw somone on reddit had all the melee scrolls (think it was melee anyway), they just need to get the items now This is obviously photoshopped because there's a limit on how many voyages you can do per day and scrolls only come from certain islands which can't even be unlocked from first day's voyages. Was in Mod Raven's fc this morning, she said it'll be at least a couple of weeks before we start seeing armour, which can be confirmed by the fact that Jagex hasn't even put them in G.E. yet. They know there won't be any in there yet.

Beating the Cyclops mission just gives you the ability to roll cyclops as crew member potential hires. Can't wait to see those new armour equipped on people.

Yes, 29 minutes. :D My Cyclops mission is 1:07, I'll let you guys know about it - it wasn't in special.

I just got a Cyclops mission? Is that just a normal crew member?

I just can't believe that people are so mad about this, or making ethical claims about Jagex. Plenty other games have done this, Halo and Modern Warfare offer 2x xp weekends all the time. The degrading xp is something unique to Jagex, and we all know Jagex has been moving away from being unique. It's not ethically wrong for Jagex to do this, we as a culture are too eager to blame Jagex. It's our responsibility to take advantage of the offers they offer us, but do so in a reasonable way. People are given incentives as is to play the game as much as possible to be better than others, and that's not unethical. Take responsibility.

For those of you unable to access the beta there's a lack of photos/info. So here ya go! :D [spoiler=Large Images]

Sold rangers for 18m :| they're gonna go lower than that I assume though, wish I had sold them when I debated it a week ago.

I don't post much, but for this I have to. This was AMAZING. Some editing will help, and better drops but the simple concept behind this account is pure genius. I laughed out loud when I realized what was going on. Although, in some kills you hit a number after your dfs spec, what did that? Props on the account I'm sure it took a ton of work, and keep doing what you enjoy.

I don't remember MonkeySam, however, I do remember 44warriorz44. Nice kills anyways.

I found this to be a very interesting read. Although the part about punishing the players for not playing doesn't really show up too much in Rs, that I know of. But the rest I could think of plenty of examples. Its sad that sometimes the video game becomes an addiction, but I understand how. I hope people who read this see past the mind games and see that there are more rewarding things in life than playing a game. Albeit, the game can be enjoyable, life provides much better thrills. Don't neglect it.

[useful pictures here. Proof screenshots of xp rewards are INCREDIBLY helpful.] What skill were you doing? Farming What is your level in that skill? 70 How long before your 1st/2nd rock? 3 patches of Cadantine How much xp (or other rewards) did you receive for creating a statue? I can't till the second piece. :\

Lol. Good luck man. 76king, EPing, Tricking are all ways to abuse the current PVP system to bring in a ton of generated cash which causes inflation. With the GE, clans can all buy out a ton of an item and max price and make the price artificially go up, which makes said item cost more for the average consumer. Condensed ore is a vein of coal or gold that rarely collapses so that you can basically mine it straight. And junk is stuff that serves very little use in the game but is worth a bit of money so that you can add it to a trade to increase the "value" of a trade so you can get more for your useful item. Read the recent Tip.It times on economics, it'll help.

I got 99 range today. 08/18/09. Would just like to thank you personally, Chen.
