The thing is that the landlord IRL doesn't truly own the land, in the sense of having sovereignty over it. The authority he has to manage it comes from the country with such sovereignty, so he has to abide by its laws. If he actually bought the land from the country itself, in the sense of getting sovereignty over it, of course he would be able to do whatever he wanted with it, since he would make the laws. This is all theoretical, since I'm not aware of any country that has ever given sovereignty over some of its land to a private individual. I'm not sure whether a legal concept similar to sovereignty exists for inventions or artistic creations or software, but I think it should. In other words, Jagex would be the only entity with any legal say over what happens to an account, in-game item, etc. (at least, under the current TOS). Clearly, some people don't agree.

Thanks for the clarification. It certainly fooled me. There's no bubble bursting on my part, though; I want the old wildy and free trade. I was just trying to be cautious about the matter.

According to this supposed screenshot from the comment by "Bob" on this article, the vote is fake. There is the possibility that the screenshot is the fake thing, however. I have barely any experience with the RS forums, so idk what to look for to decide either way, but I suppose we'll all find out soon enough.

I like full chicken costume + rubber chicken + Easter ring myself. Had some fun with that in the duel arena. I'd like to see them release more chicken-related items to fill out the rest of the equipment screen (i.e., shield and necklace slots). True full chicken FTW. I agree; new players just need to learn to deal with the fact that they missed those items.

One thing I forgot to say in my previous post is that bots definitely hurt the people who skill because they enjoy the skills rather than skilling for money. For example, my goal is to get 99 smithing so that I can make myself full rune. I know that I can easily make the money to buy it in a few hours max, but I'd like the sense of accomplishment from making it myself. Furthermore, I am quite willing to give away full sets of armor or other things I make for free just to help other players, although the trade restrictions have greatly interfered with my original plans in this regard. The problem is that the mining guild has at least one bot on every world, so getting coal is a pain. I would much rather have all of those bots replaced by legit players. Then they would show some respect by not taking my rocks, and we might even have interesting conversations. Again, I don't care about making money via my skills, and I have no problem with the amounts that monster hunters make. I skill because I enjoy doing so. Why should I have to tolerate mindless programs that interfere with that?

Based on that description, it sounds like graphical artists have quite an advantage. Implementing such a technique into Runescape would only lead to the use of more bots by people who cannot draw well. Certainly, it can get boring if you try to get a ton of levels all at once via the most "efficient" grinding methods. With the multitude of skills and activities available, especially to you members, I do not see why you would need to do that. There are ways to "enjoy the road," such as rotating what skills you train or helping other players. Furthermore, why should bots be allowed to interfere with those of us who do like the repetitive skills like mining or wcing? Just because some people are not willing to put the same effort into those skills yet still want to benefit from them? By that reasoning, you personally would not report a single player who bots combat skills at your favorite monster hunting location because he tells you that he finds those skills dreadfully boring, right? I disagree that bots will never be able to boss hunt. Sooner or later, a programmer will make a bot that can boss hunt because it is a challenging project and he likes challenges AND/OR it will allow him to learn or improve programming skills such as AI design AND/OR he can make real-world money by selling or renting out the bot. Those same reasons ensure that, eventually, there will be bots that can max melee, overloads, turmoil, etc. Then the people who are too lazy to do those things themselves will use the bots without fear because they can just create new accounts if the old ones get banned. Since the bots do all the work, there would not be as much risk in losing the account as there is currently. The fact that I encounter mid- to high-level players clearly botting in the mining guild every time I am there indicates that they do not even care much about their accounts now.

My wishlist [*:2s1bsojo]The last four spots of bank space on that half-row that we currently have (anyone know why it's only half?) [*:2s1bsojo]Some sort of marker to show where the F2P bank slots end. I would find this more useful than the chat window, at which I rarely look nowadays.I'll add to this later when I come up with ideas that I think are somewhat reasonable.

I've had at least 4, but possibly 5 or more: 1. Mask 2. Suit or teleported 3. The one that didn't happen in #2 4. Mask (5+. Mask) I'm not quite sure about the one(s) beyond #4. I know that I currently have two masks in the bank. I remember dying in the wildy while wearing full frog (and rubber chicken), but I can't remember if I lost the mask as well as the suit.

I generally use FF most of the time. However, it doesn't seem to handle right-clicking on Java applets (like RS) correctly. It shows the normal right-click menu for the page in addition to the RS one, but I can't use the RS one without also triggering one of the normal options. Therefore, I use Opera for playing RS and FF for almost everything else.
