yeah, after ppl quit, they seem to become all anti-RS; they try to pretend they quit cos they didn't like the game, and because its a bad game so it is ITS fault. BUt actually they got themselves scammed, hacked or were just bad at the game, but they never face up to it being their fault. Don't get me wrong, i'm sure some people quit and are still happy with the game, just don't have the time, bnut from ppl i've seen quit........

lol great story/teacher. i know a person on RS who is a teacher, she doesn't dare risk telling her students though, it would cause this type of hassle. 'Gimme all your gold or i fail you in maths!' ROFL

yes player mods have it. ANd j mods. Its just a j mod view of the right click options.

Yeah i get the feeling it was rated by a person who is used to rating FPS games and doesn't rate things on how well it acheives its purpose/potential. He compares with other completely different games which isn't particularly fair. Jagex achieves very good graphics from a java engine so whats with 4.1 graphics rating... The graphics pretty much can't be improved without other problems cropping up. 9/10 really... Gameplay isn't as active as most games bnut it deserves atleast an 8 for the variety of gameplay it has. Lasting appeal should be much higher as it often lasts players months/years. Sound is fair, possibly a little overgenerous, as tunes do get quite tedious after a while but Jagex has got good tunes on there for a java game, which normally won't have any complex midi files. Presentation is a little under what it should be. he says medieval has been done before, but before RS there was no medieval MMORPG, only offline RPG's. should be around 8.

1. Where does it say that? 2. So when they make RS3 they will give it a new name and clear the stats Mechscape. Look it up. Jagex have registered 20 or more mechscape url's already, and afew leaks of concept art and stuff have made the game highly likely

Interesting and correct in most places... However, as it seems you've only experienced casual gaming; professional gaming can generate money that 'matters in 10 years time'. I admit this doesn't apply to RS, but it allows me to communicate with friends and new ppl, and get abit of glory along the way.

yeah , afew spawn maps would be awesome, but i understand that takes much more effort.

we play the game; what does a number on the end of its name matter? Yes there's been some big changes but if they named it RS3 tommorrow, would it change the game... I don't think so. :

yes i fell for a very similar scam ingame; and as i'm in alot of party/social/demonstration vids, i got keylogged, which has put me off the game temporarily (4 months and counting). :uhh: OUCH; and i thought i had it bad. I lost 100m and my mod crown but the hacker was merciful with my account (probably because he was planning to sell it). :ohnoes: My hacker was different to yours though... I feel sorry for you mate... :( and i can't blame you for quitting. Gl in whatever you do.

yeah this sounds great! i'm members but do free players get the exchange? and if they did; they could put their items in at ridiculously high prices, so its basically unlimited bank space. and so could members tbh.... so i'm guessing jagex will limit the amount of items you can sell on the exchange at a time, which will mean some normal trading. It may annoy some ppl, but jagex aren't about to give us unlimited bank/trading space.

naaah whats needed is stopping meleers using d hides so much by giving it negative melee attack/stre bonus like -25 attack and stre. Then we're even

Good Article. I have to admit i'm biased towards Competetive play because i'm a show off; and a winner. If i told someone i'd completed Gears of War co-op on INSANE, they would say 'well done' in a monotonous unimpressed tone. If i told someone I (and my team) won the UK Shadowrun open and got ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã500 from it...Then i'd have something to brag about (which i do). the point is i find it much more challenging to be against opponents who have brains, and AI doesn't cut it. If the AI was ever reasonable intelligence, i might even get a genuine well done from people if i tell em i completed hard mode on a game. I like competive because of the increased rewards, the increased bragging rights and the increased challenge. Admittedly i can see why people like co-op, and i do too, but when i play it i always feel guilty thinking what i could be achieving on competetive in that time; and i don't always have the time for both. In my opinion, competitive takes priority and has more point. But thats only what i think, i can see why ppl like co-op.

I chose zammy, not just because its the most pwerful for maging, but because it a god who takes what he wants.

Same here. being keylogged for 100m and my modship didnt help either. But the game doesnt suck. I simply found it takes so many more hours of effort to be near the top at RS, when i could be Pro at other games (shadowrun, halo2) with my experience in weeks/days.

lol neopets forums is were i found out about rs :P i played neopets for all of 2 hours i have tried to forget this, but I have played neopets for over 2 hours. I am happy to annouce i redeemed myself by switching to RS :pray: :pray:

Let me elaborate on that "not much better than the whip" part. The Godsword has a hefty +132 strength and slash bonus. The whip has a +82 strength and slash bonus. That's pretty hefty too. Why? The Godsword has a number to represent its speed, assigned by Jagex itself, which is four. The whip has a speed of 6. now, for some math: 82/132 = .621212121 6/4 = 1.5 So that's saying the whip is about 2/3 of the Godsword's strength, but 1.5 times the speed. The inverse of 1.5 is approximately 2/3. That means the whip is almost as strong as the Godsword (without specs) - but we're forgetting that the whip is a 1-handed weapon, which means you can wield a defender, or a charged dragonfire shield. I'll say you wield a defender, because it adds slash accuracy and not much defence. The godsword's point is to kill your enemy quickly, so it doesn't have defence. The whip for this comparison should be roughly the same way. With the new numbers, it goes like this: 87/132 = .6590909090909 6/4 = 1.5 Now that's even closer to 2/3. With the dragonfire shield, which adds +2 more strength, it comes out to MORE than 2/3. Which would, in that case, make the whip more effective. Of course, this is all without the godsword's insane specs. That's the only thing is has over the whip. Otherwise, mathematically, it is only as strong as the whip. In brute strength (raw str bonus) it IS the most powerful weapon so far. But who's to say a weapon with...oh...+120 str comes along? It will probably be faster. Maybe not 1-handed. Or maybe it will be - that would be even better. Sorry about the long post; I was bored. good anaylsis, but isnt the godsword more accurate than the whip?. Anyway, i dont think they'll make a new hp system but they'll make a weapon/spell for all classes that empties you and your opponents spec bar. To stop lucky 1 hit KO's and thne increasing amount of no skill fighting, just a big weapon that does the work for ya. And, will they bring out another higher weapon? No, they will start making mage/range weapons or mage/melee weapons that are better than the current ones (mystic staffs lol).

Jagex just wait until the price is sufficiently low, I guess that 1.2m or w/e it is low enough. Much too low if u ask me.

Mastered is not 99, but its understanding the concepts and effiency of the skill. Hunter can effectively be mastered at 80, as you can get more xp per hr than 99's who havent grasped how to get masimum effiency at the red chinchompas or you catch butterflys and relase them in a blink of an eye. Fletching used to be mastered by stringing thousands of bows per hr, now its autostring so hard to stand out from the crowd.

many 99 ranged called player1 player2 etc or whatever their names were. sntupid goldfarmers :S

If it aint broke, dont fix it :notalk:

yeah, me too. Even though i knew how much effort it takes before. ( i can do it too) but oh well. they should fonrce us to listen to it bny removing mute button!> : :XD:

petercassell--->Monkeyboo2

ROFL Can we just announce this guy as the winner. \ I dont get it! any help on understanding this?

I'm almost certain metallic legs and skirts weigh the same in game.. :-k Though realistically skirt should weigh less. realistically the legs should defend more, as the skirt leaves your lower legs open to attack and you'd nend up crippled pretty fast. also a well aimed/maneuvered jab could get your private parts :o fortunately RS isnt RL.

lol :ohnoes: :ohnoes: :ohnoes: just be careful who you find lurking i the depths of your bed. You might be in for a surprise one day...
