Difficult one this............. For me if the games were designed correctly in the first place much of this couldn t happen. I am not going to say it is right to "fix" games as that isn t in the spirit of the game really, but it can be useful otherwise there is a possibility that some wouldn t be played at all. There are some real good and valid points on both sides of the arguement and the way forward would be for Jaggex to take into account these key points and perhaps integrate them into the gameplay of mini games and in terms of the rewards recieved by those taking part (if any). With Cwars if both sides are fixing the games then it is obvious that the reward for taking part in the game is not enough and they need to up the number of tickets for completing a game regardless of result and make more ticket rewards for what you do in the game again not linked to the result then just have a 2:1 on the result, I am sure most people could live with that as they be getting a far greater return in tickets for taking part and completing a game of cwars and the winners still get something for winning to, just the gulf won t be so big and there are more ways of getting tickets than merely by winning. With SC it can be nice to just sit there collecting clay but for me it does take the edge off the game as in a proper game you know someone or a group may come along and spoil your day so you take precautions and keep vigilant and if needs be you unleash your full arsenal of cb skills upon them :) However if Jaggex did not want people to fix this game then put a third and maybe a fourth team in every game of NPCs that have comparable combat and skills that will play the game in the way intended no more fixed SC games. They have tweaked the great orb game but apparently just by attracting an orb is active game play so people are already apparently getting round that supposed tweak to the game play. Here again they could do something along the lines of making it more rewarding merely for taking part - sounds a bit left wing and non competitive lol but the winners would still recieve slightly more. Resistance is futile Jaggex are the Borg they will hide your posts and assimilate your good ideas. And remember it is only a game and as long as you are having loads of fun like I do with me TKOE clan buds does it really matter who gets to 99 first we all on the same journey some will arrive before the rest of you - too much rush spoils the journey :)

Don t think much will change similar operations will probably spring up in other countries and in China they are still allowed to trade virtual items for cash so it will probably just mean a change in the way they go about their business rather than an end to a whole black market economy.

I think sometimes people make these articles to get those reading them believing in the predictions in order to make what they are predicting will happen more of a reality, thereby creating a self fulfilling prophesy. Tell the masses that something will shoot up in price for these reasons and many people will start panic buying and as demand begins to outstrip supply some very nice profits roll in for those who had stock-piled and gone round spreading the aforementioned predictions in the first place. After awhile it all calms down again till the next major update that changes the way we play comes along :D

With the death of pk especially clan trip pk we have arranged some more wars to compensate, done some fight pits and added on a lot more gods trips and DKs, no BH though due to the fact that when that came out we had a very wide range of members from 85 to 126 (Summoning not counted) and to make it worse we had quite a few reccomended members who didn t meet our entry requirements at the time but were our hot prospects so to speak. We have never done an official BH trip as yet with the main clan due to the problems mentioned and the lack of appeal I think, although we have had small groups go up either as an unofficial event or as part of the program put on by our comparitively small but growing US Events team. For me personally I don t think anything can match having that wide open area with the varied land marks it contained, the terminology invented by clans to quickly refer to certain locations, and the uncertainty of what was there. Would it be a small band of pkers in the wrong place at the wrong time? Would it be a clan that was of similar strength and therefore a good battle would ensue with skill and teamwork of the clans determining the outcome? Would it be a huge clan and there were a few especially on certain worlds we probably can all still remember them where the good old RLF strategy worked well :) More important than loot and all that I have said previously was the mad things that used to occur on PK trips, the fun, the seemingly pointless wanderings or the employment of a cunning plan passed down by the guru known as Baldrick :D Alternate events undertaken by TKOE now include Saturday's Merry Temple Build followed often by Drunken Monks Fishing. If you enjoy the odd beverage or two I think you will get the picture :thumbsup:

When it stops making them money be here for a few years yet whether it in its current format who knows

F2P world 117 clan home world P2P world 120 now gone, then it was 124 now it the clan resides on W159 P2P.

Either 99 pray without spending a fortune but have to admit did cost a lot getting the last 6 levels or the Quest Cape as it continually needs you to overcome the challenge of the latest quest release.

Certainly seems to have become more laggy, especially when you have a load of familiars and fighting going on in one relatively small space, but it has even started to become laggy all over :wall:

Not bothered would have preferred some in game updates and developments as I do not play the game for the graphics.

For me the key to a good game is playability does it have the content that will see you enjoy doing what all games are meant for - to be played. Does it have enough depth and variety to keep you hooked and wanting to play more, the graphics for me just have to be passable does a boat look like a boat and so on I am not that bothered beyond that. Given the platform that RS is based on I think the graphic update is looking very good from the few screenshots I have seen but the update itself does not excite me would rather have seen some more new things in game.

I have done lots of clue scrolls mainly level 2 and 3 now and probably the majority level 3 and you should see the rewards I have had, I reckon the wombles have had better stuff than me and they go round collecting the rubbish other folks leave behind. But still I carry on with blind optimism that one day the clue will be a 6 number lottery winning one :thumbsup: Plus they are a nice way to take a break from training.

I would like to see introduced as a new slayer monster drop say level 92 slayer new monster to fight above Dark Beast and no I don t have 92 slayer yet :o

Hunter was totally uninspiring when it came out and for me is still only trained if required for a quest. So I would say hunter except for the chins maybe that will tempt me into training it At least with firemaking you can look forward to burning better shades on the pyre logs :)

Must say I am very impressed with the speed of your recovery given the misfortune that befell the old forums and the new tip.it style forum skin is an unexpected bonus very fast work there on that one. You are very lucky to have such a talented team to complement your own great skills and like a phoneix from the ashes tip.it has arisen looking better than before.

Agreed upon 20 v 20 and we gave you 20 minutes past the start time to get organised we had 19 you had 15 some of us offered to walk but as you were so late I said no as we wasted so much time waiting for you it only fair that all those in our clan who had come and waited patiently for you got the chance to enjoy the war that they had given up their time to take part in. You fought well and were a credit to your clan and I would reccomend those people reading this thread if you looking for a clan to join and don t pick us or DFTD then Blasphemy are a great clan to consider. They have honour and don t cheat in wars a rare commodity these days in my experience. We have also fought wars outnumbered and never been offered the equaling of numbers we have just accepted that if we didn t get the right numbers to the war then that is our fault for not rallying the troops properly not the other clans for bringing the numbers agreed upon. There was no matched war opts agreement it was simple 20 v 20 full rune melee only any pray war. Respect to you for fighting true and I mean that truly and again I thank you for a clean fun war and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and all the best for 2008.

We fought a 10 on 10 steel war hastily arranged against a clan with higher entry requirements. The rules made and agreed upon by both clans were clear Steel Armour Rune Scimm No visible pray Any f2p boots and gloves or chaps Melee Attack style only We lost but the Dragon Templars used visible pray breaking the rules of the war I am glad to say we did not Thankfully most of the Dragons respected this and turned theirs off some did not if you want to take on a lower ranked combat clan at least abide by the rules we have both agreed upon and don t try to increase the odds even more in your favour.[/img]

Today Friday 27/7/2007 TKOE defeated the Dark Savages in a 15 v 15 steel war Big thanks to Demons from the Deep for lending us a replacement or two at short notice and for being such good teamworking buddies. 3 Deaths on the TKOE team we honour our fallen brothers in arms 15 wiped out on the Dark Savages side. A video of this event will be available on our website to watch TKOE WEBSITE

Well I would really like Jaggex to do something like this for clan support: A clan hall with a clan bank where a clan can keep an inventory of weapons, armour, food, runes etc. Which only the registered clan leader can access for obvious security reasons. The clan can use its skills to make improvements to this hall not just utilising the construction skill, but perhaps having farming plots, fishing and everything else which can be used to help train clan members. Perhps you could also have storm the clan hall where if you agree an enemy clan can attack your clan house (enter war mode) and you agree a stake if they fail to beat the defenders they lose the stake if they beat the defenders and reach a specific location within the hall then they gain the stake. There can also be a time limit to stop it going on all day. A clan could invest resources into it's hall for instance a high fletch skill can make catapults or ballisatas and other defence weaps, a high construction skill member could build better walls and towers, a herbalist create burning pots of oil, a mage magical barriers etc. More mini games which are clan based or are for clans only both on P2P and F2P. Perhaps to stop every tom, [bleep] and harry creating a clan Jaggex could charge a fee for clan support say an extra ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1.50 or ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2.00 per month, clan leaders would have to pay this and come to an arrangement with their members if they can not afford this themselves. I wouldn t mind seeing the above as the clan element of RS is very neglected in my humble opinion.

99.9% of clan ads have a clear message at the top of them - 'If you are not going to be active on the forums and attend clan events then do not bother applying'. Seems clear enough to me, so why do you still get people who join a clan make one or two posts and then do nothing what so ever to help the clan. The only time they get in touch is when they want to borrow/beg something or require help with a mundane simple task. Whats even worse is when you warn them or pm them in game or via the forums they go absolutely mental raving on about why should they have to use the forums, attend events etc - doh because you joined the clan! They also go on that no-one told them that they would have to do those sort of things - doh it is in the advert which we all assumed you would be able to read and had read prior to joining the clan. They then play the victim - 'You never told me what time the events were on'- doh thats why we have clan forums with posts detailing clan events and a calendar etc or 'I lost the link to the forums' or 'Busy in RL' yet they on RS all the time etc. Myself and a few friends set up a clan because we knew that teamwork could help us in particular situations in RS and that some things are more fun when you have good company along to witness the madness and mayhem. So please if you aren t into teamworking and you are the type of weirdo I have just described do all us clan people a favour and don t bother applying

Well I have used tip.it to recruit as ytimba and I started a new clan and found it to be less snobby than some of the other sites. It's a bit like the 'noob' thing - new clan means - 'nooby clan' as we have no history yet. However, we have both risen from CB1 to 121 and 118 in record time and we both got to cb100 pre pesty and have excellent total levels as we train skills too :P. Ytimba is now one of the most knowledgable players in RS as he has a photographic memory he sees something once and it is there forever more. The main problem as I see it is Jaggex don t do enough to support clans with in game options - construction - let us build a clan bank where we can keep donated items, build a an armoury for wars and pk, allow us to craft clan cloaks and armour i.e. capes with our insignia on etc, more clan related mini games, clan halls etc and maybe tip.it could help by having a forum called 'Future clan development suggestions' or something and if an idea gets a lot of backing it can be brought to Jaggex's attention. As we are the customer and we can have a say in the way Jaggex improves or modifies the game. A lot of fly by night clans come and go very rapidly and I think that a way to improve things on tip.it would be to have a clan ranking system based on say a number of categories: Friendliness of Members Organisation of Clan Events Organisation of Clan Ranks Leadership Forums Wesite Number of Members A clan could be rated out of 10 for each category and overall rating given. This way clans old and new can be judged in a more equitable manner and potential recruits will have an idea on how far along a particular clan is in terms of its progression from an idea into a working clan unit. What would also be nice is maybe a clan leaders' section where we can go and discuss subjects relating to the running of a clan etc. For instance I think a 'Clan Embassy Forum' would be good where leaders can meet and discuss alliances and make declarations of war, a clan leaders' rants section would also be good where leaders can post about the really annoying things some members of their clan do and generally let off steam. Clan leaders could also create an allied embassy forum on their own clan forums so that stronger links can be fostered between the two clans etc which brings me to the possibility of a clan 'Leadership ideas' how to keep your clan running smoothly and others like clan event ideas how to keep things interesting and so on and so forth
