Used a medium lamp on level 53 dungeoneering, got 2,499 xp.

Thanks! :mrgreen: I haven't really been on RuneScape much the past few days :( I've been kept busy with work.

I don't really think people are going to get too caught up in your answer :P I can't imagine people looking at your profile and desperately wondering why you have "None" selected. There also aren't any privacy concerns with listing your RuneScape status (or choosing "none"), especially if your RSN is omitted, as Kimberly said. As best I can tell, there is no built-in option to have this feature hidden. The reason that RSNs and Clan fields are hidden is because they are text input fields. So if nothing is input, nothing shows up. But the RuneScape status is a dropdown menu, which means there's always *something* there. So from what I can gather, just from looking at the ACP, this change would require some custom fiddling in the back-end.

Medium lamp and 10k for me :P This totally does remind me of Neopets :XD: (think it was Hedgehog who said that?). Anyway, kind of an interesting update. I like having more dailies in the game. I'm disappointed that the broadcasts seem to be tied to the "filter game" option though :(

What exactly do you mean by going in tandem with the high scores? Could you elaborate on that a bit more?

Hey, welcome to Tip.It! :thumbsup: 2006/2007 was my personal "golden age" <3: I hope you enjoy your time on our forum! :)

Congratulations!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 99 prayers unite!

Kimberly is correct :) With a little luck we'll probably be upgrading in about a month.

I'm not super knowedgeable on IP addresses, but I thought each computer had it's own ID? I thought most, if not all, replicated technology has it's own ID. Ban computer access if possible..? You could take it a step further and do that. And if they could pinpoint RL addresses, they could attempt to subpoena (hoping that's correct) a lot of people, fight them legally..Impractial probably though :\. I just hate botters, rwters, etc. Every computer does have a unique MAC address, but if I understand it correctly, you cannot determine someone's MAC address through the internet.. you can only get their IP address, which is determined by the ISP. If people are using the same network they will all have the same IP address. You can also mask your IP address by using a proxy. So if you are IP banned you can just use a proxy and get around the ban. Furthermore, my understanding is that the use of bots is not technically illegal - only the creation of bots. That's why Jagex goes after the creators of these botting programs rather than the users (again, could be mistaken here, but that's what I read somewhere at some point...). And if you consider how many thousands and thousands of people bot, they're not going to take legal action against every single one of them. It's unrealistic and not worth their time. They'll go after the source - the makers and suppliers of the bots.

I assume by "aiming at the IP address of people who play them," you're referring to IP bans? If so, IP bans aren't really a realistic or long-term solution. If someone goes through the lengths to download and execute a working bot, odds are they're also willing (and have enough knowledge) to use a proxy, which would get around an IP ban. So.. it wouldn't be that effective. Then of course you have to consider that a lot of IPs are dynamic anyway.. so again, an IP ban isn't really effective unless they use a range, which wouldn't be good because it could also ban/block out legitimate players. But Jagex is constantly looking for ways to destroy botters and ultimately I imagine it's pretty hard to always stay on top of them. It's not like they can press a button that says "Destroy bots" and have it be done. A lot of work has to go into figuring out how the bots work and coming up with a solution to effectively stop them.

Jagex have said a few times that fixing FPS issues is their first priority so hopefully we'll see improvements soon :)

Dudecrush8 might have more to say on this, but it would most likely be integrated into the main website.

Hai tripsis. Are you me? I said it first so you must be me! :P

I don't really do anything different. There aren't many things I want to do that I wouldn't do when no one else is around. I guess I do walk around in a t-shirt and underwear more often and if I'm waiting for something to cook in the kitchen I might sing and dance around a bit. I also talk out loud to my cat a lot more. That's about it :P </boring>

Hi, I had to remove your link (which was censored anyway) because we do not allow people to post links to executable files. There's always the possibility that they contain malicious content and we don't want to put our users at risk. However, if you want people to comment on your program you can post the source code here :)

Congratulations Ami! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Not many left to go :P

I woke up at 4:30pm today :| My problem is that I stay up too late. I do something fun and don't want to stop and suddenly it's 5 or 6 am.. (or 7 or 8am). My employer contacted me a while back and gave me a new web design job. At first I was like "Cool more money" now I'm like "FML I don't want to do this." It's annoying because he has like zero vision. He just wants to 100% copy the layout of Apple's website. He literally links to me to an Apple page and says "Recreate that for me." Boring.

Working on tasks for fun.. and because I'm so behind. Just completed all of Lumbridge. Varrock next!

Do remember that someone's opinion is exactly that, their opinion, and it does not necessitate the presence of evidence for one to hold such opinions. I've been reading your replies, and Thus obviously isn't too interested in talking so why waste your time responding to his posts. Simples. :thumbup: Because holding an opinion without a basis for that opinion, or when there is evidence to the contrary is asinine and preposterous? That should go without saying. @Tripsis @Rainy Day if you think rules are being broken, give reps, delete posts, do whatever you normally do. If not, the discussion can continue however it will, within the rules. Its not your job to moderate discussion already within the rules. One of the things we "normally do" is ask people to just drop the discussion in the thread. And that's what we did here. The reason I'm asking for the discussion to be dropped is because it has gotten to the point where we're not even talking about the article any more (see rule Staying On Topic). At this point it's just one side arguing about whether or not an opinion is valid and the other side asking to discontinue the discussion. So combine the fact that one person doesn't even want to discuss it with the fact that we're going off-topic and not even talking about the article any more, there's no need to continue the discussion.

Did you get this information from an e-mail? Navigate to www.runescape.com manually (don't click ANY links) and try logging in. If everything in your account looks normal, change your password immediately.

Please drop the discussion Assume Nothing. Thus obviously isn't interested in discussing it with you and at this point we're not even discussing the article, but rather the idea of an opinion.

I moved your thread to the appropriate clan recruitment forum :) I couldn't tell if your clan was combat or non-combat so I took a guess and chose non-combat. If I'm mistaken, let me know and I'll move it to the general clan recruitment board.
