That is some great level ups. Not long to maxed now. Good luck!

Perhaps you should try to add pictures to your blog? It would make it more interesting to read. Just to read these logs of your tasks gets a bit boring. But I still wish you the best of luck on your way to 99 Slayer of course :)

Awesome DGing. Keep it up :) I really should head to Daemonheim...55 Dung ftl.

That is some really nice mining. And a really nice total too :) Good luck on getting those last 8 levels!

Too much xp...:)

Now that is a lot of impressive levels for a pure F2P. I wish you the best of luck with your goal of becoming maxed. And really, that RS history of yours...Amazing. You certainly are a RS veteran.

Congratulations on those recent achievements. You have the same cooking level as my rc level btw ;)

That's a lot of nice scrolls. Good luck with getting the rest of them.

Congratulations on 99 Hunter as well as 96 fishing. Not many levels left to go now. Keep it up and good luck :D

Welcome to blogscape. It is always nice to see new blogs here. And Runecrafting is certainly a great skill to max ;) Good luck with your goal of reaching level 99 Runecrafting, and eventually getting that max cape as well, of course.

This dual wielding thing seems awesome. Just another 4 days!

Selling cash in a game like RS is a terrible idea, since the only real currency is cash. It would destroy the economy. Pets, cosmetic items, skill % increases, maybe even certain "lucky" items I could see them selling. GP, no. In a game like WOW, where most items have to be earned/gotten as drops, a cash sale *might* be viable. Gold is used for training skills, riding/flying increases, repairs, and things of the sort. It would harm the pure gold economy but not destroy it. Not so in RS. In RS the *only* (real) way besides being given an item, buying it black market, or getting it as a drop, is really to buy an item with GP. Inflation would be much worse than what 26king did to the economy. I mean, if right now, I could buy 1.5b for 750 dollars black market, and with that buy a divine, torva, and whatever else nex gear or w/e I wanted, no new cash is entering the game. BUT if Jagex sold cash, that acceptance that buying gold is legal would mean more people would buy it, and if Jagex's prices were cheaper than 3rd party, we'd see a twofold problem, first off, NEW cash magically entering the economy. Second, far more people have far more cash than before, so current stockpiles of cash devalue. With max cash being only 2.2b, rares and other items suddenly become the only way of buying rares/desirables like nex sets, corp shields, etc, as demand is suddenly SO MUCH higher. Back to the old problems of no free trade days. Certainly it would ruin the economy. I wrote I wouldn't be surprised if Jagex would do this. Not that I didn't believe it would destroy the economy. Because Jagex are already pumping gp into the game through the SoF. 500k cash piles are not too rare from it. I however doubt that they will actually go so far as to sell pure gold in a cash shop. More likely is xp lamps and certain items. If they keep going in the direction they're heading now, at the same pace, it isn't far away.

I just wanted to add here that I would no longer be surprised if Jagex decides to release a cash shop soon. As much hype as they're creating about the SoF, with plenty of updates every month for it, I doubt they will stop focusing on rwt updates. I don't think the SoF will disappear now. I don't hate it as much as when it was released...I have kind of got used to it now, and pretty much given up a bit. I still agree with Ts_Stormrage though. SoF doesn't belong in RS. Especially not the buyable spins part of it. Keep fighting, Ts, and all of you other who keep doing a great job to protest.

Even for a game that have been around for as long as RS, 200M created account is a lot. Congratulations, Runescape! Now let's go for 300 400 500M!

Congratulations on those recent levels and quests. It's as interesting as always to read your blog. And congratulations on passing 1,6k total!

Precisely. Now you all know it :) Go buy those fish masks while you still can ;)

The fish masks will never be as rare as santas or party hats. But they will start to rise in price not too long after they have become discontinued items. Not a lot, but enough to make investing in them now a good idea. At least that is my opinion. I don't believe in RS increasing its population. Neither I believe in that it will be a fast, hundreds of millions gp earning type of investment to keep a few fish masks in bank. But I believe in that in a few years the fish masks will have risen enough to make them worth keeping. Because as you say; People are quitting. I think that as old players quit they don't really care about their money in bank. If I decided to quit this game I would certainly not clean out my bank before I left. Why would I when I wouldn't have any use of the money I gained by doing so? Certainly quite a few people might do so just because they think they will return some day. But then I think most don't, because those who really quit this game quits and never comes back. But if you happen to be right, and fish masks never even rise with more than a few millions, then I and all others who have stocked up on these masks have still made a nice profit of a few millions. So there's really no reason not to get a few. They're not the most beautiful item of RS though. I can agree with all of those who say that :P

Better start rising after the summer.

The fish mask article is very well-written, but I believe more focus should have been put on the fact that even though the fish mask will probably never reach as high as party hats, it will rise in price. With time it will become rarer. More people will want fewer masks. This will go slowly, but it will happen since there will be no way to get the mask after this summer. So for those who have a few masks in bank and plays for a few years more, it will have been a great idea to invest in the fish mask.
