And I actually see it as an example of very good quest design: You're not dependent on "take item Y to point C, and solve puzzle X which has nothing to do but I just like to give it to you" type of quest.. You're given a task at start (beat the problem that is in the center of a passage), and then slowly progress towards the end.. The quest was a "complete" experience and you never had to go back outside the quest to gather things or take things - everything is handed to you inside the dungeon! I consider the follow up quest (roving elves) to be much worse: first you have to go through everything again to find a person (not too bad), but then suddenly mid-way you have to do it again.. And again. And in the end it was all just a task-list of: hey deliver this package to .... for me. You didn't get the feeling you were "in" the quest!

lol soul wars useless? -it's only 1 less def, yet gives 4 more prayer boost.. That prayer boost is very, very usefull for slayer! - While pietying (or actually praying in general) it's more useful than the fire cape of 75% of the tasks. (Only high level monsters are affected by the attack boost of the firecape).

you're only 5 years late with this post.. The people who played the game for fun have long left and made place for those who train for levels & hard goals. Before people didn't get to 99 to have a 99.. People just skilled for fun and eventually gained lvl 99. (I remember people actually feeling sad that there was nothing left to do for the skill they liked most).

Start cooldown? That sounds like something that would prevent instant transactions, but I know those happen... I know also that SOMETIMES they don't happen when trading the same item back and forth often in a row

uhm that's then a normal attack, since last time I ranged (With magic shortbow) magic pray + antifire does reduce the damage A LOT.

yes, or if A hits his "limit" (or if A just putted the items into the GE, and it's still on "start cooldown")

There's still a huge difference between an RTS and a RPG-like game :P. Besides have you seen starcraft 2? - I bought it and it was my biggest disappointment to date! (Who in bliz-hq was so clever to think "hey lets make a single player game only playable over the internet, so the people who actually enjoy the singleplayer facts are penalized even more!") Lulwut? You don't need to be on the net to play single player :ohnoes: Yeah you can play SC2 single-player in offline mode if you like. All you miss out on is achievements from the single-player then (which I assume you don't care about since you want to play single-player offline). And skirmish games / home-made maps? - ANd you can't build a lan? (My main place where I live is my student room, which doesn't have internet connection, yet we have ~8 laptops and people who would gladly play SC 2 every now and then together). But sorry for going offtopic, it's just that once I see sc 2 coming up I really can't resist to warn people for the possible bad game for their money (seriously, I played out the game in 8 hours, compare that to wc 3 where I took over 100 hours of gametime).

if the GE has MORE items that the requested items, the lowest prices first, and for the price they asked for.. However there can be a time-delay before selling/buying (apart from the limits).

Normally I would play "league of legends" - a purely PVP game based upon DotA (defense of the ancients, a mod for warcraft 3), you have to team with 4 others vs 5 opponents in a battle ground.. - THIS requires a lot of coordination & strategy (you have to complement each other, keep notice of the map/changes, use spells in the correct order such as not stunning the same target twice and amazing positioning game -the ones with high health are in front so they get seen & thus targeted first, then the nukes who just have to have that half a second to launch all attacks and finally your dps comes who has little health). That game has weekly tweaks (things like: reduce the cooldown of a spell from 10 seconds to 9, increase the range by "1 field") just to keep everything balanced. Runescape's PVP & PVM simply pales in comparison with this (heck even WOW is badly as it's imbalanced for pvp a lot). However, like every "team based" activity: it gets frustrating when teaming with "randoms". That is when I go back to play rs again: simply to relax a little bit while skilling!

Hi there, I'm wondering, are public penguin hunting chats still existant? - And if, what's a good one nowadays?

If you do think so... Why the hell are you still playing runescape?

Well is there no teleport method faster than edge-vile -> long walk?

hmm for gold I strongly recommend barker toads instead of arctic bears.. Unless you make 2.5M+ an hour..

I couldn't care less about the money.. It's the fact that the customer support acted so badly that I am angry.

Well it's a personal thing that the customer reply didn't give a satisfying answer to a question / ban appeal. I am unbanned already, but I feel treated like a dog (they indeed said I was right in appealing, yet the ban was over after the reply and I didn't get any refund). So I want to check up on that and contact jagex directly to file a report about the bad behaviour of their customer service. It's not something I would like to discuss with the public, yet there's no where I can find a customer support link!

Hello, I'm surprised I didn't find it, but anyways: one of my rights as a consumer of a service is good customer support. - The basics to that is that I should be able to get into personal contact with someone from the support. I have a problem, which keeps getting ignored when sending through the normal methods of support, and thus I need to get some way of personal contact with jagex. - How can I do this?

hmm I went there and couldn't find a single place to mine, how long are the respawn times?

Hello, Turning 77 mining I was looking for some difference in setting from granite.... Thus I turned towards concentrated coal: however what is generally the best method to mine these, more specific: -bank the ores (and where?) -how to get there? -should I take a whip (for patriarch)? -what's the xp/hour generally?

I don't have a godsword, nor can I afford (or afford 1 within a small period of say 10 hours).. That means I'm not ready yet to wield mid level gear right? So it means I'm bound to wield low level gear? The inflation of levels the last year or 2 is really shocking.. Was lv 80 considered high in all skills, nowadays it's low..

:unsure: :( This really means they plan to switch focus to their other games and let runescape die a silent dead in the next 5 years

nope it can only handle 32 bit, magic number is 2.147b but thats in game, i dont think highscores run on java, its more spreadsheet based lol wut, "spreadsheet based"? What is that (do you mean database?)? Every number has a max, even memory is limited.. They could be shown in bigNUM format (where numbers are only limited by space and stored as strings instead of numbers) however anything requiring calculations should be done in normal number format. But it's already pretty well known that JAGEX used "INT" (which are by definition the integral type of the computere, and in 32 bit as well as 64 bit "INT" type is 32 bits long).. Meaning an unsigned int can range between -2^31+2 and 2^31-2.. Also the xp is actually an integer divided by 10 (so you can get like 0.1 xp).. This results to the max number 201 million xp. The total however is stored in a much bigger format (possible long long). Number range is between -2^63+2 to 2^63-2. But it doesn't matter, what happens if an overflow isn't prevented in java it won't return an exception, simply it goes back to the negative side. Which shouldn't give problems wit the high scores. (Only thing that it might trigger is an anti bot scheme).

SGS is not a training weapon as such... when camping az's you can use protect with infinite prayer, right? And when dharoking, you don't want the healing. All chaotic weapons and even whip + obby shield/dfs are better than BGS when soloing except at lower levels, hence the categorisation as 'mid-level gear'. Since when is mid level required to have 50M+? really funny how in less than a year I turned from a high lvl player (123 combat) to mid... and apprantly also low. Strange, my stats didn't change

Actually when praying you could dharok the dust devils in the chaos tunnels (there was a guide about it like 4 years ago)

though you sacrificy 5 weight with that.. means you can't wield the sacred clay armour anymore..
