Battlefield 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eedRhcpOsuU&feature=relmfu And such like games have such amazing graphics that they can easily get away with their adverts on TV, Warcraft is another example of proper graphics and great adverts, if Runescape was to show in game footage of it's graphics people would just piss themselves laughing and ask are they being serious. Runescape needs to concentrate on it's merits, it's not just another MMO it takes time and dedication and the graphics are not meant to be fancy, just functional. This is why I can see them trying to big the game up, but to be honest they don't need too, concentrate on things people love about RS, treasure trails, skilling while reading a book or watching a movie or just exploring and chatting with friends.

Done 70 spins Got 3 Mystic Tatoos 2 x Marauder Tatoos 2 x Rune 2H 2 x Rune Long sword Enough XP lamps to go from lvl 63 Slayer to level 66 4 x sets of Curled Horns Lots of crap like iron ore and 50 coins :)

Woohoo it's back like it was yesterday, time to get some nice XP again :)

Had to share this with you, just beofre the update a Runesphere spawned, it was great everyone on runespan just went to look for it :)

It's actually got much worse now, after lasts night nurf session there is nothing now, I cannot find a water pool for love nor money :( Time to tele out untill it sorts itself out, what a shame...

If I may ask, why were you on middle floor when you were so close to 99 ? Seems wizards give the same xp whatever the floor is. Single or double soul wraiths doesn't make alot of difference since they spawn so fast. O, and congrats on the elusive level ! Just so people know, you can give the wizards any rune, although giving him the correct rune gives you an extra bonus, this is linked to your RC level @ level 66 I was getting approx 2k xp per turn in, it says you cannot hand in for 5 mins after your first hand in, so does this mean you can find a wizard every 5.01 mins? If you give the incorrect rune you get like rc lvl *10. Edit: Or not. Just gave the dude soul runes when he wanted mind. got 6990 xp. Previously I've given cosmic/air runes and got like 900 xp. Aye, it changed again dunno what the hell they are doing at Jagex towers but seems bloody wierd :) The 2nd level wizard is asking people for blood and death runes and they can only be crafted on level 3. It is pretty poorly thought out but was fun while it was fun (if you know what i mean)

It just couldn't last could it, I was really enjoying it, I have 4,000 points now too :)

Talk about nerf though, there is no nodes at all now, before you could always find 2 or 3 chaotic clouds or the odd nebula, now there is nothing :(

Perhaps someone could explain this to me....? I make a little money by buying say 10m worth of seeds at -5% of GE price and at the same time I sell the ones I have bought at +5% of GE price, giving me a slight profit all day long which works out quite nice throughout the day, how is this possible if somene buying seeds should automaticlly be given the lower price ? Strange.

I think clue scrolls have changed, the rewards are getting worse I am sure lol. I only play RS to do clue scrolls, I used to be able to do 5+ a day, now I cannot do more than 2 and thats grionding for 9 hours sometimes for 1 scroll, in the last 15 days i have done 30 scrolls and the best item was rune legs<h> I have my bank set out with every clue scroll item needed for all of the emote items needed and the rest of the gear including teleports and fairyring codes, I only do level 43 clues<hard> and get them from Elves in leteya<sp> Banking clue scrolls is not really a good idea unless you are on a serious grinding mission as you can expect a scroll roughly every 200-300 mobs

I have just killed 200+ Elves and still no drop yet :( I only play RS to do clue scrolls so will let you know if I get a drop lol

Oh for pete's sake. That's not right at all. It's like saying Deal or No Deal isn't gambling because the least you could get would be the penny in the box. A loss is a relative term, wherein you end up with a reduced value in the things you own than you did before you played the game. 50gp is a loss, a Lucky Divine Spirit Shield is a win. This is not a negotiable statement. I've never seriously considered my future with this game, but now I am. EDIT: Fixed topic title. What's the big deal, noone is forcing you to buy spins, and by the looks of things they are pretty useless anyway, plus you get 2 free per day and some free drops, it's all good as far as I can see.

It's no different really then Zynga's business model or any other of the mobile phone games, which you can spend unlimited amount of money to advance yourself further in game. Expect more of this to come as it is the future <unfortunatly>

HaHa this has to be thread of the year... We have numerous people saying "i quit runescape for a year and don't wan't to lose my account" We have others with "mywebsearch" toolbars in their posted screenshots, Almost every few posts look like they have been compiled by Peter Griffin. If a toon has been used to hog a username, delete it I say. The OP has explained in his post how he "thinks" it should be done, and you can either discuss it like some have or ignore the post totally, but please READ the freaking post first, read it 3 times then ask in help and support if you don't understand it. The OP was stating it might be a good idea to delete accounts who meet the following criteria... A: User has not completed tutorial Island b: User has not logged in for 6 months I think it's pretty obvious these are "unplayed" accounts, and wipe them off. Now I will go a bit further and suggest accounts that don't meet the following are also Deleted c: Has less than 100 xp d: Has less then 50gp e: Has no rares or expensive items d: Has not logged in for 1 year There we go, you could even say you don't agree with what the op is saying or anyone else who has chipped in with some decents reply, but please don't say things like "this is ghey cus my lvl 136 would be banned" you just look stupid. And for people who have created accounts after July 2008 when tutorial island was changed delete them too if they have not finished the new Tutorial thing, people who created accounts before july 2008 still have to complete Tuorial Island.

Looks like they are halving the cost of the shards, so that's one thing I suppose, I would like to see xp gained while fighting with your familier, I am not a wow fanboy, I play both games, I have put equal amount of effort into both games.

Find no basis for my rant??? How about the fact summoning gives you 1xp when you "SUMMON" a creature and 30+ xp when you make a pouch, why not incorporate crafting into summoning?? It's called summoning ffs so you should gain XP when you summon or use your summoned object, that's the basis to my rant, I was just saying wow at least have got it right, RS have not.....

What is it with some of you fanboys, has all these updates made you immune to crap? I was stating that I wanted to see summoning as a good skill that benefited you in your daily grind to get levels, Comparing RS to WOW is silly, but some of the updates are very wowesque like headstones,GE, summoning. So the basis i have to compare Summoning is the model in WOW which works as intended, if I wanted to sit and make pouches all day I would just level crafting. I like RS and wow, I "will" not quit playing RS and "STFU" as been previously posted, I play both games, and am allowed to have my opinions.....

Why?? Am i not allowed allowed to complain? I like both games, and I will complain about runescape as long as I see things that I would like changed. Re-read my post then go back to the general forum and spam their threads.

I find it easier to read in forums to make seperate paragraphs, Sorry if my english language skills are not up to yours.

Hehe very true, your not the "only" one saying that, I know of 2 people out of my group who left for wow to still want RS to succed, the rest don't even login anymore :) How hard would it be for RS to introduce group quests, there is no teamwork in RS, its a solo game right to the end, and once you hit the end it's like Death.... Thats it.. In wow people want to get to the end, for the end game content, EPIC pvp items, heroic badges and dungeons, flying mounts etc. I know RS is limited in what it can do, but it can do better, most people who play RS have never played wow so don't know what it's like on the dark side, but more and more people are moving over, and this is what Jagex needs to stop....

Ok so heres my first rant about runescape, I always loved runescape, it was the first MMO I ever played after coming from a Conterstrike type environment, I played it virtually non stop for a couple of year's and really enjoyed it. Then it started changing, some things better some worse, but i then looked about and found WOW, now warcraft is not really like RS but it has alot of similarities, so RS has released Summoning and I paid for members. Heres where my rant begins, warcraft have warlocks who summon various minions/creatures/demons and they use shards in much the same way you use them in RS, but WTF were Jagex thinking when they decided to charge people to be able to level a skill, a combat skill at that. Jagex recently removed RWT as a major priority so why on earth do they now need to charge people millions of GP to level a skill, and why not make it fun like it is in WOW, as you go up combat levels you get better summon creatures, and your ability and strength increases, why can't jagex take a system that works so well in Wow and incorporate it into RS, the idea is already there so how hard can it be to give it your own touch and release it to the public. You cannot be serious when you say this skill is the best thing to happen to RS, and how we will all be loving it when it comes out, i am not loving it so i will just do what I always do and just cancel my membership and move on, but how i wish it was a great thing. I would like to see RS incorporate some wow stuff into its game, and vice versa, a wow/RS hybrid game would be the ultimate game but as we know, Runescape will continue this spiral of poorly thought out skills and quests and stop people like me paying to play a game i used to love. As a comparison to RS, today me and my brother and 2 other friends who used to play RS all lvl 100+ before we all quit, went and done a 22 chain quest in wow, thats right, 22 quests all in a row, some of the quests involved serious teamwork, some didn't but my god was it fun, at the end we were rewarded very well. Please Jagex, try and make RS fun, remember that word "FUN" Sorry for the long rant, I expect flames, but hey I know alot of you still enjoy playing RS, and long may it live :)

It will take you longer then "quite a while" You can't even get to level 2 without spending GP, good luck in your endevours mate,

I was really hoping this would bring me back to RS, but alas "pouchcrafting" is not going to get me to give Jagex my hard earned.. I was hoping it would be a summon skill, where you summon a creature then use that "pet" to help you level the skill, what is the point of having a skill that doesn't give you EXP when doing the actual Event. They should have made it like other games, where you get yourself a pet and use that pet till you get to a certain level then get yourself a new one, then rinse and repeat. I paid for members, got to level 5, bought 200 chickens from Canafis, relaised all I had to do was keep running back to oblisk using the chickens and shards, and running back, so logged out and won't be logging back in again. I am leveling a hunter in wow at the moment, so might pop back into RS should they fix this mess lol

Looking at the official forums, you need a minimum of 4.2 million shards to get lvl 99, that will cost you 211m Then the cost of the seconds Then collecting the charms.... Or buying them.. Or am I reading the guys post wrong on the forums? He is quoting 800m to get to level 99 this year.. Below is the post i have quoted from, please don't bash me if it's wrong. Quote.... Cheapest method of getting 99 Summoning: Making 603,500 granite crabs. You need 7 spirit shards to make ONE. So 603,500 times 7 (amount of shards needed for one) is 4,224,143. You'd need roughly 4.22Million spirit shards for 99. Now, 4,224,143 times 50 (cost of each spirit shard) is 211,207,175gp. CHEAPEST METHOD FOR 99, NOT CONSIDERING THE SIDE PART. The iron ore also needed with making granite crabs would cost 48M(if you bought the 603k iron ore needed (not like you would mine it), just on top of the 211M. This is the cheapest method possible. But of course you'd be making 603k granite crabs... Using beavers (level 33 summoning needed) for lvl 99 would take approximately 815Million.
