This is great. I kinda was looking forward to a work up to it though.. Like hints before release.. Then a more difficult way of obtaining.. This update is a bit late for me. Its lost its charm. Still good update for others starting out though. I feel kinda gutted tbh. Its far too late a release for me to enjoy. I got 98-nearly 99 mining about 5 years ago, waiting 3 years for it, got 99 anyway, and that still was 2 years ago. I got level 100 mining now and already achieved my ultimate goal. Your too late picky. Might buy you when your dirt cheap. I never camp out new items but even if I did the general loot I have seen people getting is pretty poor. Shame really. Hoped it would be more of a build up and difficult to get.

MMM This Q/A is it abit of that old uninformative mixed with some fascinating truth. The first mod himself spoke very nice and gentleman like. God it was a long read.. ..Does he really think that will happen.. :? Unless its some sort of serious restriction and nothing like mining runite like it is today. Perhaps he was hinting or perhaps not at some quest storyline that might or might not exist one day. In that case. Cool. Like you might but not as a skill ability. Thing is its 'just' 'barely' high end content. Its seriously good update an all! Its the right direction! Yeh its subjective but making excuses like that is lazy. Theres the option of making both 90ish content aswell as 96 and 99. Even in a single update. I mean taking agility as the example. They could of released the new agility armour like they did with (I forget exact numbers) -20 weight and then make level 96 agility with -40 or something. (Making random numbers up here.) I dont see it as relevant. Just make both 70, 80, 90 and 99. Although ofcourse summoning already does that and is which makes it such a great skill! Oh and the rest that he says about summoning being more engaging etc is also irrelevant? Yes the player base decides that 70 runecraft is higher than 70 cooking but what that got to do with releasing content, just because one is easier to train than the other. The point is - The should be content every couple of levels or so. Doesnt matter how hard or not it is to reach them. Fill them out like. Not everyone has to complete every quest. Just chuck out some random high skill ones in there. Chuck out 80 farming, Chuck out 80 runecrafting. The people who cant do it dont 'have' to do it. There is plenty of content people can do besides them. Content wont be wasted as there are people who can do it and it gives people a reason to train. Otherwise make all content level 10. However. Which I support more... ..At the very least.. Have it as an addition to a quest to have a high requirement to get an extra bonus. It isnt hard to give someone 100k herblore xp for already having level 92 herblore and doing an addition to a quest. Extra work for less people who can play it but it makes a quality game. I just feel it be sweet if a 'grandmaster' quest was about the difficult rather than purely the stats needed. Since there are never any high requirements in any other quest its always grandmaster. Which are rare. ..And kinda always seem to be the easier to train skills and not considered high by most players anyway.. Anyway the whole Q/A was massive which is a great deal of effort answering. Alot of interesting things found out. Some of it was fluff that will never happen in the next 10 years if at all while other things were solid truth. A great q and a.

I still seem to experience a slight problem with the mouse/menus. Been runecrafting and its more evident that it keeps pausing. I have to slow down or I misclick. (No problems a while ago..) Its only very slight but enough to make me misclick. Its not as bad as it used to be though.. Before it literally kinda just did whatever it wanted. Now its just takes a while to keep up and seems to be more of a menu slowness. Idk its do-able. I turned their cursor off and everything else that isnt click intensive is fine. Im guessing there wont be a fix for this as it does technically work.

Sticking to the avatars I would have to say maxed out chars impress me. Blue and white phats are impressive but a set isnt as it just tends to lead to presuming other things unless I know otherwise. The rarest items catch my eye and its only really the runecrafting cape that makes me think wow anymore. Since I achieved or near enough achived the other harder capes I rather think wow I did it! about myself than someone else who has done the same thing. Btw I get told 'nice this' or 'nice that' alot of the time. Mostly its the inferno adze or a rarer cape. Godswords are pretty boring, dragon plate is pretty past its prime. Only the rarer shields really impress me at all and to be frank I dont like them because they are too' rare that anyone I see wearing them I have to conclude they are an idiot to use them. It dont matter if you maxed out cash that is still a hefty sum of money. I am sorry to say the impressiveness of a maxed combat means nothing now as most of them are pretty obnoxious. That and they tend to be crap at training anything else and combat is one of the easier things rofl. When I was a newb I came across some pretty high class people who had some impressive skills who I looked up to. Of those people who still play are pretty high on the leaderboard ranging from 500+ to even in the top 100. I do still look upto them as they are still pretty impressive. I guess people above 500+ are still pretty impressive to me. However nothing really beats the times when it was alot harder to train skills and they meant more than they do now. ALOT of people have achieved things like maxed combat now but only got 40-50 farming. I am very impressed by the rarer chompy hats. Waaaaaaay more than the runecrafting cape. There are some other minigame clothing that are pretty impressive too. I get impressed by things like new players achieving things. Especially those who I know and are just starting out. Not because I dont think they can, but its just sweet 'ahem' I mean cool. A great accomplishment. Its like you give someone a axe.. then suddenly they can cut yews or something. Thats pretty impressive. The only other things I can think of is things like jagex releasing content with requirements above 70. That impresses me. edit: Oh yeh! Things like records for certain things. Like for example how fast you can do a nat run or something. Although things that dont impress me is how fast you can get a new skill to 99.

I cant know if these been posted or not as I dont read every page but I found them funny. First one is great. Go make tea and coffee hehe. [yt]PnGl_6qgueE[/yt] [yt]k78J4QxFnIc[/yt]

94 Crafting - 5th September 2009

Yet another epic goal update. - I am not disclosing it here though at this time. I know what it is lol. - Another level towards 2300. It might seem close to 2300 but in reality is I got a runecrafting and two slayer levels in there. College aswell as moving into a new flat soon too. I wish to perhaps semi quite runescape when diablo 3 comes out so I got a year and a half to complete my goals lol. Atleast I shaw be having a long holiday from Runescape whenever Diablo 3 is released. Diablo 3 > Diablo 2 > Runescape > Other mmorpg's > Wow. I got a close eye on all diablo 3 updates and drooling. Unfortunately its unknown if the long playability will be the same as the second game. I dont think I ever quit runescape (Not before I feel finished anyway.) but it is certainly second place depending on how good the game will be. 93/94 Prayer - 4th September 2009

I voted for the bum one. Made my laugh more. I really dont think Excl's vid was the best but he probably win. They might of been good but they all had alot of room for improvement. The arrow one was the second best imo. (Great that there was NO voice acting lol!) The tv one after that. Even though excls vid was pretty boring imo his other vids are great so it be great for him to win anyway I guess.

93 Crafting - 1st September 2009 88 Thieving - 3rd September 2009 88 Hunter - 3rd September 2009 88 Construction - 3rd September 2009

I would say second is easier. For me I went and saved up 4 99's at once which took alot longer. Being mining, smith, wc and fm. So you see. Getting another 99 after that is quicker for me. ..lol and literally speaking it certainly didnt take aslong to get my second one. Or 3rd. Or 4th =p But seriously I find it easier because I know whats involved. You say you find it harder but let me be honest. 99 mining was alot harder than woodcutting attention wise. (Wc isnt easy though!) So so. That even when I train equally as difficult skills such as runecrafting I find it easier knowing what to expect. Further more. I train skills beyond 99. I got like 92-96 in some of them again after the 99. So whenever I train one of my lower skills its so bloody f-ing easy compared to getting 2m+ xp a level after level 99. So to sum up. I feel my view on this matter is a bit blurred but I do find getting another 99 extremely easy if I put my mind to it. That includes runecrafting and slayer. (Just not so 'extremely') I am currently 97 slayer and I feel that was maybe harder than some things I have trained BUT I still found it easier. The xp needed at 97 isnt 'that' much compared to what I am used to doing anyway. Takes a bit of time but I already know what it involves. So it seems you find it harder knowing what it involves but for others they prefer it. I have to say I am one of the ones who prefer knowing. Actually. When I was a complete noob I HATED training ANYTHING as it took FOREVER. Killing 100 goblins??! omg! Kinda thing. Nowadays I am killing like 200 black demons or something for 'one' task and I dont blink an eye lid. I know what it involves and I even enjoy it now compared to before.

MMM I hope the glitchyness of the cursor is fixed. I am not using ati though.. I will give that new cursor a couple more days trail for its own sake. If jagex cant fix the glitchyness it I wonder if turning it off does. Prefer mine anyway.

Better interview than most. Can tell its not full of fluff. He is the 'man' though. (Stated in a question somewhere)

Although I do feel they are out of touch.. I however feel that your main point was an oversight rather than an 'out of touch' issue. We are so used to the unlimited stock in shops we forgot that it isnt meant to be that way. It was a quick fix. Now they fix it properly and they overlooked some of the shops that dont have enough inventory/function very well to fully support the players. Considering all the shops and items its not hard to overlook shards, bird meat etc. Now its just a matter of are they going to fix it or not.

Lol, you suck. Anyways, don't max cooking imo. Leave it as your last skill to max o: Lol! I actually am! How did you know =p I kinda plan to leave fishing and cooking to last because firstly I hate fishing. Then secondly it makes for an easy finish with cooking =p Thats if I ever got to max anyway I donno. Edit: Oh yeh btw funny that there is a hint towards a new skill the day after I make this goal -_- It might of been a glitch that people gained a level but it just be typical that its a new skill around the corner. I reckon when I get 2299 they release it. It happened at 2100, 2000, 1900....... And each time its that little bit harder to achieve before a skill comes out! *rants* lol

Dont know if this has been posted or what. It looked funny cos it moved with the rest of the water.

Well, you can get both a ramskull helm and a bone sack. That's not good. Can also get crystal saw and the crystal chimes at the same time. And have placeholders. Not that I have or have not done that. :D Besides perhaps there was a way of doing it before that I wasnt really aware of. I have to admit I like placeholders for nearly everything I couldnt previously do lol. :shame:

Is perdy a good thing? :? Unspam, A link to hiscores for the lazy ones :thumbsup: http://hiscore.runescape.com/hiscores.ws Yep - Or better spelt, purdy. Asin pretty. Beautiful.

oooh in low detail strechy the graphix make my eyes a bit funky. In high detail its great. Minimap is perdy. Not so sure on the cursor. Will try it for a few days but I think it will just annoy me. Theme doesnt really match this game either..? If something could be added it would be nice for a overal detail option for low - medium - maxed so I dont have to check each one is on max for its type. Oh the spellbook is great. Much better than the previous update to it. (Need to get rid of scrollbars for everything!) edit: Holy I just noticed I gained a level too lol.

Blue?!! I hate blue lol. - New huge goal update. I feel close enough to level 2300 now to bother paying attention to it. Since jagex hasnt seemingly leaked any info on a new skill coming soon I hope I can reach it first. Some of these are already my goals. 94 Prayer 94 Runecrafting 88 Construction 87 Herblore 88 Thieving 94 Crafting 99 Slayer 88 Hunter 99 Farming Basically my lowest stats upto level 88 (Besides herblore at 87 for free xp) and my second lowest stats to level 94. Thats brings me to total level 2296. I dont know what I will do for the rest yet. - On saturday a friend from a place I used to work decided to join runescape. She texted me and I went over to f2p to help out. A few hours later I convinced her to get members lol. Showed her how to train a few different skills. I might be spending a bit of time helping them out for a couple weeks ontop of my own gameplay. Its a good experience to remember how difficult it was to begin this game. Although I had no help myself I dont mind helping them out a bit. - 94 Cooking! - 30th August 2009

First pic looks incredibly like diablo 2 graphics.

93 Cooking! - 29th August 2009

I would have to say 8m + too. If I die and lose 8m then I pretty much rather lose half my sleep to remake the money. I can handle that as I can make it back quite easilly. However anything more and it would take more than 2 days so that kinda messes up my gameplay. I wont do anything else I planned until I get back everything that I lost including quest items etc. To be honest. I get more frustrated losing 2m but 8 hours of figuring how to regain my quest/minigame items. Looking through old quest guides and item catelogs etc lol. Making money knowing what your doing for a few hours is easier to understand than getting frustrated searching for quest items. Everything else I can buy from the G.E and get instantly.

94 Fishing! - 28th August 2009

Wow, i got 1300 in exchange last night i sold around 500 Why didnt u just alch 121, it takes like 5mins? :wall: And here me who finds it annoying that I cant buy more than the 100 limit or whatever it was. I had to shed out cash buying bars to make them as I didnt want to wait around. I needed them for a summon creature. Btw if you didnt do it you might of tried taking them out and putting them back in? Im guessing the price must forced you too anyway after a month lol. I have to buy them waaaaaaaay in advance if I dont want to just take the easier option of making them..

They havnt exactly worded it clearly so I am unsure if their solution is what I prefer or not. Personally I think its a good idea if people just do whatever nickname they want keeping the same userman. Meaning that people can have the same nickname. However it sounds like that isnt the case.. It sounds like its based on having unique nicknames.. idk. If people join the same chat with the same username just have the system add something to the end of it. Like 1, 2 3 etc or whatever. I am ok with my name but if I could improve it I would want to have either 'Baz' or 'Bazza' - If I cant I dont mind as I already like my unique username. Its my online gaming alias anyway.
