The other way would be to find out how the runescape applet sends it's encripted data to the servers. Then you send the servers what you want to send them using that encription key... like i want 10k xp in mining and bang you get it.. which Jagex would probably have safeguards against anyway....but the hard part would still be cracking the encription... it would probably take about the same amount of time it's gonna take for our sun to go nova.

without getting into specifics, no... they would have to modify the packets being sent to the server, and they would have to mimic authentication... which would take 6 billion years to do, so no. Also does anyone actually believe that Jagex will undo this and admit that they did something wrong? or is everyone of the mind that Jagex will never admit wrongdoing/idiocy and we shall now be forced to live with this moronic update?

All I'm saying is that the people at Jagex should make the people in the think tank take courses in microeconomics and sociology so that they can predict the changes on the society that their updates will have. I mean I don't think that when Andrew set out, he knew that his creation would spawn an entire society, but now that it has, it's his responsibility as "The Creator" to make sure that his changes won't create the equivalent of a massive economic breakdown or even a massive economic restructuring.

First of I have to laugh at this quoted statement, if you don't get why, then you didn't read teh times a month ago. While some of the solutions proposed are decent, most of them have flaws. So we introduce monsters... what happens if i want to make a mage pure but I want to mine my own ess? I can't do it anymore. So we make it that the pickaxe has to be enchanted to mine ess. How am I gonna get magic lvl 45 without the ability to mine ess? How do I level my magic without the runes to do so? Keep in mind I'm completely disregarding the market. So we introduce a pin number like at the bank. Do you have any idea how annoying this would be? Mining ess is annoying in it's repetitiveness. This would be annoying in a time consuming-I-can't-mine-ess-while-I-put-in-the-code kind way. At this point I'm gonna move on and whine about how Jagex just royally screwed all the f2pers. Pure ess is now worth about 40-50gp ea... up from 30-40 ea.. and regular ess is down to about 15-25 ea... so anyone who wanted to sell ess as an f2per just got screwed. Bad. I mean while they were at it, why didn't Jagex just go into all the f2p accounts and steal their gold... it would have amounted to about the same thing, just in a less underhanded way. My last point, and this one might be long, is that you can really tell that the brainchildren behind this idea don't manage their real life finances. Did they not think about the repurcussions on the market price of everything that this update would have? Natures are gonna cost more. So anyone high alching steel plates is gonna buy them for less. So now someone is getting even more screwed financially. Carry this over to anyone who high alchs anything, or to ppl who are mage pures and pk with deaths, or to just about anything. This will cause massive inflation in some parts of the market, and massive recession in others. It will completely unbalance the market for about a year, at which point the market will fix itself, or possibly continue fluctuating. Imagine what would happen if the American Government suddenly told everyone that their money was only worth 1/2 of what it was supposed to be worth because they were going to double the amount of currency in circulation. Not only would the American economy be royally screwed, but all of the trading partners globally who have American money would get screwed. It would throw the global economy into a turmoil that could very well cause another great depression. Now no one in real life is stupid enough to do something this serious, which is why I'm very surprised that there are people at Jagex who ARE stupid enough to not clearly think this through.

when you were out in the wildy, his friend probably locked onto you, then as you followed him away, his friend clicked to attack you. your options are probably set to auto-retaliate, so you then ran into the wildy to attack his friend. when you did so, his friend attacked you with this barrage spell and killed you... that's what i think ahppened anyway.

yeah

ever heard of a black hole? technically it is something, but it is of infinite mass and has 1/infinite size... so yeah

All to true in physics... if i punch a brick wall with sufficient force, it will exert an equal and opposite force on my hand, quite possible breaking the bones. This is NOT the same equal and opposite reaction that will occur if I punch my brother in the face. That is a reaction, but it has absolutely nothing to do with newonian physics.... and as for this non-existence existing... if you take a virtual container, with no substance or mass, and put into it all other empty containers, does the first container contain itself? The idea of non-existence exists, but the fact that I don't have a sister implies that I do have a sister is absolute garbage. The notion of my not having a sister exists because I don't have one, otherwise that notion would be false. Similarly, if something doesn't exist, then perhaps, and I emphasize that word, the notion of it not existing exists. However, if that were true for all objects in non-existence, then the definition of the word invention would be completely false as all things that did not exist and were invented were actually always there. So I guess the main bullet point here is that I disagree with your statement. BTW weird story, but not a bad one
