As of currently in F2P, yes, unless you have one person who doesn't know what they are doing with shrimp, and then you have someone with swordfish, and maging in an open concept area. Same thing with a ranger. I'm not up to date enough with p2p gear to properly give a good estimation so I won't.

I really hope no one relates this to what I was saying a week ago in the IRC...lol. :-# DDOS attacks are that they usually end sooner or later.

I think I meant to say rangers/meleers will always out-do magers, not to say magers aren't deadly in a war, just too many of them and it hurts your own team/clan at winning. My point or so was more directed at F2P so I didn't go into p2p detail, thus it was sloppy. :|

If you compare your specs to the ones on the website, or post them here, some of us could give you some direction to make it work. :

It's not even about whose better than who lol, I've already admitted Kent is far better than me back on like page 30-50 or something, lol. Also, I've never fought you using whatever characters, so don't say you are/aren't better than me till you've played me. Regardless, you're hacker junior.

Don't add Gallade, he's an apprentice to Kent, and is learning how to 'crack' the game.

Reschedule your appointment then...? But yea, everyone I know who has gotten theirs out has been completely out of it for like 2-3 days, and in agony.

I think we'll see more clans joining up to pk as one for the first couple of weeks. And if those go well, we could see light alliances, but not die-hard alliances that I know of. If it's only 5-10 worlds, alliances, or group clan pk trips will probably happen with smaller clans, and possibly medium clans, however large clans that can bring 120+ members will probably stay out of group pk trips. I can see though clans staying out of each others way when they are on through an IRC channel as they don't want to fight each other, knowing another clan may come and kill them all of, so it's better to stay away from each other. So there's tons of possibilities, that will probably happen, depending on the clan. Some clans won't like alliances/group pks, so they stay out of other clans ways. Some clans will be aggressive and just go for anyone. Clans will also want to group with each other. Peace treaties/Alliances will probably pop up anyways. --- Also, returning will probably be a huge deal. Like when Di & Ds fought or whoever it was, the war lasted for 7+ hours (unofficially I heard 11). Just imagine how much longer these fights would last with wars south of Falador? We could possibly see multi-day fights. Sure a few hours of limited fighting, but it could quickly spark up again.

Meleers packing full rune + dragon hide, as they should, will completely dominate that 30% quickly. Instead of having the majority on one meleer tanking for 30-60 seconds like what usually happens, you'll kill those mages in robes within 5 seconds, with only 4-6 meleers/rangers. Mages don't have good enough armour to be properly used. 100% soldiers will easily kill off 20% to 70% of Mages. Why? It's faster to kill a mage with melee, then a mage can kill a meleer. It's a huge waste to have your army built up with mages, as they may hit hard on rune, but they will die faster than they can cast 3, perhaps 4 fire blasts. This isn't even considering wearing Dragon Hide against Mages. This only explains F2P though. In P2P DDS's will take control easily, or godswords will kill off the mystic armour much faster.

If there's 20 worlds to PK in, there won't be spots in P2P, but a slight chance in F2P yes. Why? 100 worlds, and an extremely small area to pvp in compared to 20 worlds with a huge amount (at least 4x-6x larger than the wild) to go over. Realisticly with 20 worlds, there won't be spots to defend/attack, unless it's organized. If it's organized, and it's in some kind of building, like a Castle, then it could get interesting, as an 'event'. Even if a clan chooses to defend a spot it would require too much manpower to actually maintain against 'hundreds' of players trying to take over it. The only way I can see clans defending spots, is if it's at most 5 themed worlds, there's 20 large clans (containing more than 80+ members), and the ability to be on for 5-7 hours straight, and this is only in F2P. P2P spots to defend won't happen. Unless clan's jot down specific areas that they will be defending from X hour to X hour, and then marking each day they will be on, awaiting another clan to come inbetween those hours on these days, it will be very rough to do, and will just be easier to do 'event' like wars, and not pkri types. Realistically I don't see defending happening, perhaps it'll be done in the first weeks of the update, but people will probably see it's like old wildy, and just go to 'hotspots' or roam around. Though this excludes anything Jagex adds to it that they haven't spoken of, and if there are level ranges. I'm extremely skeptical of 'defending spots' to actually happen. Eventually it'll boil down to 'Lumbridge Swamps to Faladors South Entrance; where multi is & clans go', and all the clan action will happen in there, as that's where most clan fights started in the first days & weeks of the update. To me that's how it'll happen and come out to be. It'll be hopping between 5 to 15 worlds, roaming a certain hotspot area for clans to fight in (like GDZ), and that's it. I'm sure though that because it won't be 100 worlds, and it'll be 5 to 20 themed worlds, that there will be far more wars & fights going on. I bet every 3-5 hours the themed worlds will encounter a medium sized, or large sized war. There will be at least 500 solo pkers per each world, or more at peak times. Think World 3 Edgeville but tripled. Or in 4 hours of roaming around with your clan you'll have fought at least 2-3 larger or decent sized clans, several pk teams, and a lot of solo pkers.

I understand war crashing as a non-honour tactic, as well as violating pre-determined rules, but anything else is free gain. But anyways if it's possible, it will be there. That's how it started, and that's how it will continue. Also to TS_Storm; the loss of compensation is a positive thing that has always driven the economy surrounding pots, food, weapons...etc upwards. There will always be more losers, than winners, especially in pvp, thus it's good for everyone that there's people losing their items. Why, or how they lose their items is irrelevant until the loss of items isn't from something in the game, like a bot, or bug in the game. However this may not happen at all depending on whether or not the reward part of the risk is equal to, or somewhat similar to what the drops were before, or at least enough to make a profit if you kill 5 times without dying.

Uh, your definition of investing is off. Investing is when you put your money into something, which you will eventually get, or hope to get more than what you invested in back to you. So he can invest in any skill, and then make money from that money he put in, and if he makes 1.3mill, he's successfully invested, but if he only made 800k, he's failed at investing.

I guess they were fiddling... :| But they do indeed make the forums look ugly, and the colours don't match every skin. :roll: I like Tripsis's idea though, of how it was before, in phpbb2. That was quite a nice way to have it.

IPB has this feature, that you just click on the post number, and the statistics will come up. It's pretty useful in determining a few things. So wouldn't it be just counting the posts a person has made in the topic? Somehow matching the profiles up with posts, and then organizing them in a list/window somewhere...I have no knowledge of php so just guessing. I'm all for this...

Sci-Fi or not, it's still an MMO. So I'm going to try it. I really don't care for the 'theme' of the game, just as long as it's fun, and immerses myself. Everything else is just sweetening the game. Plus it'll be free.

I'm still in awe. Perhaps because I know a bit of how much work it actually was than what other people know. But still, I'm amazed every time I log in.

I only think anything will happen is because I've been told that something large will happen. But I don't know what to think as I haven't researched it, or basically it's merely speculation and nothing more. Regardless if something did happen I really don't think it would wipe us out, I'm open that certain countries may feel climate change, or something, or I can believe people will die from some chain of events resulting from the 2012 theory indirectly but meh. It comes woohoo...

Yep, I can only play for 2 hours a day as any longer it feels like grinding. >.

I count four active topics directly related to the PvP worlds. I also see 2 or 3 that could be counted as indirectly related to the PvP update. I don't know where you're getting such over exaggerated results from? Link me to all these little topics, or whatever you're finding? Or are these things inside of the 7 possible topics I've counted? Or what? This is just a phase, same thing for Summoning, same thing for Funorb, and any update Jagex has wanted to hype about. In the future if Jagex is consistently doing hypes like these, as in giving a month or two notice before the update for speculations, perhaps we could organize several megathreads, but even then Jagex would have to hype up 5-7 large updates for the megathreads to be useful. I also agree that keeping things in one place only isn't the best idea. So many things can be discussed to such a large extent, confining them all is only going to hinder the quality of those discussions. Also, I don't see posts saying 'O wow, another thread about the pvp update'. Actually, what else is there to discuss? If something better were to come in, then it would take a better priority over the PvP updates, but nothing has, so the PvP update discussions are still in the top to be discussed. Then again you could just be in the minority who doesn't like discussions to go past 1-2 weeks in General, but most people are still excited and enthusiastic about the updates. But yea not needed.

I have a small case of autism. Mainly organizing things in rows/columns. Straightening things so they line up. And I can remember up to 10 random numbers within 5 seconds of looking them over. However phone numbers are unrememberable. So all of those are neurotic or whatever. And I crack my knuckles.

Canadian but I think Obama. And by the poll results I'm not the only one. For varying reasons, mainly the policies that will affect Canadians in positive ways.

Honestly though if it's only going to take 5 to 10 minutes to put some form of underline tag under it, I would think it's worth doing. But if it's going to require a lot of time, which I doubt, as I've done similar things like this on different board types, then not worth doing. But I only think it would be 5-10 minutes of whatever.

Oh no my secret training spots are being revealed. :ohnoes:

The first 20 or so episodes I saw were pretty good, but by the time I got the end of the regular Naruto series, I was like, why did I waste all that time watching them all? I then waited for Shippuuden, and it didn't make me change my mind at all. I have to say this though, that the fighting in the past few episodes has been a bit more fast paced, and realistic looking, even if it's rare to see fights...that span across 10 episodes. Regardless I watch it & read the manga for some unknown reason. I don't think it's that great of a show, but perhaps because it's 'ninjas'...lol.

Ever since 2005 people have been asking for this, and probably before. I would love this, and it's coming. Majority of pkers would also love this, why? More area to pk. And since it'll only be 5-10 worlds, with level ranges, there won't be that lack of players to fight, as it'll condense everyone, which will be a blast. Well for F2P. =P Those old pking areas will be here, as well as new ones. Overpowering range/mage? Uhm, not really. How? You won't be able to RWT in them. My strongest idea is that this is an attempt to get all that money that isn't there anymore. Honestly, 60M was lost at least from all the pkers quitting, from stats Jagex posted. They are probably wanting that money back so they can keep the ends meeting, and buy new things...etc. Thus this update.
