So -- there will be a skill, but they dont know what it is going to be :unsure: Except its not going to be Sailing because the whole Sailing thing was mental. :lol:

Well -- if they are equalizing the combat triangle, then it'd make perfect sense for mage and range to have the same value effect on combat level as the melee stats, right? :unsure:

Inb4theymaketheCruciblearequirementforthecompletionistcape. :unsure: LOL! Look out guys, Runescapes about to get a lot more boobier! :lol:

The combat looks great but I am starting to worry about some of the game-changing effects it may have on some of my current gear and weapons. :unsure: And what are they going to do with Ancients and Lunar Magic? Are they going to join all the Mage Books together?

Uh -- I though Jagex didn't send out emails? :unsure: Sounds to me like another "you have chosen to be a mod" scam ...

I dunno. Do the player communities of other games complain as much as Runescapes? :unsure:

Wait? You mean that F2P players are stuck with that damn thing in their inventories? :unsure:

Yup. I've never been a member on this, or any other, account. Weird, huh? I wonder how many other F2P'ers got invited. Probably all of them Itd make sense. Offer the Beta Test to everyone. F2Pers see the lure. Click. Get told they need members to sign up for the Beta. Get members. Click. Get told theyre being put on a lottery to get access. Rage. Voila! Classic Jagex.

A few weeks. The build for the dragon perch is huge and, right now, it is low on our priority list. At the moment, we're upgrading all the skill plots to Tier 7. Since you can only upgrade two plots per tick, it's going to take a few weeks to get that done -- and we're not a large clan (<100 members).

Like what, exactly? :rolleyes:

Thanks Kaida. It's been a long and winding road. :thumbsup:

Just a note to let you folks know that our clan, Team Walmart, has now achieved a Tier 7 Citadel build. After our next build tick tomorrow at 7:30 PM EST, our Citadel will achieve Tier 7. Thanks to all the members of Team Walmart. Our hard work and persistence has paid off at long last! Well done Team! We will be celebrating our new Tier 7 Citadel on Tuesday Night - May 22nd at 10:00 PM EST. All are welcome to come and join in the festivities! Thanks!

Wow -- when you put it that way, it really does make the entire exercise seem even more pointless than it already is ... :lol:

Team Walmart is small clan centralized around Citadel Building. We're hoping to complete our Tier 7 citadel this week. You're welcome to join the clan chat as a guest and see if we're to your liking. Our Clan Forum can be accessed through my signature. ~Bly~

I'd think that F2P is only being blocked out of the beta-test -- not the actual upgrade, if, as and whenever it comes into effect. I would imagine that, without so many of the variables available to P2P combat, F2P combat would be much simpler, in any event.

There have been more updates to SoF than there have been graphic updates for dragons. :P Good grief, has there really? :lol:

I'm in the process of making enough money to buy gear and supplies so I can camp Glacors all weekend, but something tells me I'll end up at Barrows after hours of not being able to get a spawn to myself... I'm already ahead of you there. I toyed with the idea of going to glacors, then decided I'd just go and do Barrows ... :unsure:

I was having these issues with a couple of different computers. Both times it was the graphics settings on my own computer and had nothing to do with the graphics settings of Runescape itself. Most likely, you're running the "wrong monitor" type. Check your "screen resolution" settings from your Desktop and see what "display" is offered for monitor type. :unsure:

Now THAT is a "sig-worthy" phrase if there ever was one ... :thumb:

You know, in light of this complete and utter cow-poop statement, the least they can do is give us the option of shutting off SOF completely so were not bothered with the damn thing. Honestly. :rolleyes:

Or perhaps it's another one of those "strange events" that emanates out of Daemonheim and everyone will be engulfed in another read aura and made to float around for a moment ... :unsure:

"Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna" is a line from The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus". Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe ... Man I love these Chaos Elemental puzzles! :thumbsup:

A little off topic, but an interesting commentary from The Economist:

I wonder how many botters were effectively banned with the last bot nuke, as opposed to how many were rolled back and how many were pardoned. If they had banned the lot of them, every single player that botted, would that have had the desired effect of, at least, effectively altering the mind-set of those players who bot their characters so they can achieve higher stats and quicker access to end game play? Most likely not. As has been pointed out, theres far too many people today who want the short-cuts and its not just the game players, either. How many people do you know IRL whove been duped by some or other get-rich-quick scheme? I personally know more than my fair share. And these arent kids, and theyre not stupid (generally speaking). Yet, time and again, they fall for some idea because it offers them a quick reward only to find out that theres no instant cash at the end of that rainbow, either. Is it a flaw in basic human nature to want to always want and take the easy path? I am beginning to think so. [segway] Oddly enough, its always interesting to see the number of people in the game who asks my stat in [skill x] and, after being told its 99, respond with the word, Lucky. Its not luck that got me that skill. I worked on it. Yet it seems to me that theyre importing some idea that I achieved that skill level by some immediate stroke of pure luck. I dunno, it seems like an odd response to me and yet it correlates with the above idea that, if you could get a lucky quick fix, you could achieve these skills in short order with minimal work [/segway] :unsure:
