[The new mining animation looks like....]

well does the same count for abbys mining??

 

 

 

since the time there is "set" (You just fail or not fail) and it's around 1 "hit" from the animation..

[What's up with randoms?]

Lol, these "Randoms aren't random"-topics should be locked, cause RANDOMS ARE RANDOM

 

 

 

Lol.. #-o

 

 

 

Lol how wrong can you be??

 

 

 

Randoms are not random! - the only random thing that currently exists and which people could get is the "spin" of an electron.. and maybe the corresponding "error" in electronic signals..

 

 

 

 

 

But I really doubt jagex is using that to get a random... no they're using a recursive function to generate the randoms instead - which makes it look like "random" things.

 

 

 

on another note, even randoms can be "counted" and you can draw conclusions about it.. Everybody who has at least a small knowlenge of maths and physics knows the thing about gaussian and binomal distributions.. And you should know that every random has an average, standarddeviation etc..

 

 

 

Well I think the average depends on the thing (and how long) you've been doing that.. Also if you log in everytime at the same time it seems to give you randoms!

[best drop youve ever had?]

rune kite..

 

 

 

when the ice trolls weren't nerfed yet..

[The new mining animation looks like....]

I didn't test it yet, but by the looks of this it makes rcing even more slow!

 

 

 

maybe it's better to not take a pic anymore now (and take an axe instead?)

[To ban or not to ban: A lvl 126---1,500+ views]

I've always been in favour of second (and third) chances!

 

 

 

if there is a slight chance of the person don't doing the crime again, don't give him a "dead penalty" (in some old tipit times perm banning was compared with this, and I think it's a very good comparisation).

 

 

 

a lvl 126 player who autos mostly stops autoing once he gets a warning, they only auto cause they think that they won't get catched.. So once it is made clear that they WILL be catched they will stop autoing immediatelly!

[Clickable Picture]

don't want to sound "teaching" or something here..

 

 

 

but in bbcode - just like in normal HTML code (of which bbcode is based) "every" tag must have a corresponding closing tag...

 

 

 

so the code would be:

 

 

 

[url=URLHERE][img=IMGLOCHERE][/url]

 

where the [/url] parts and such are the closing tags..

[Money Cap]

well for anybody thinks going to a 64 bit system is easy..

 

 

 

well yest it's easy - but it would also double the ammount of data storage! - I don't think it's worth that..

[whick monster in F2P drops laws....]

hobgoblins drop laws too btw.. + some nice limps! and it's really never busy at the crafting guild..

[How to make 355k fast?]

or as p2p go runecrafting for 2 hours..

[How do you KEEP two programs up at once?]

don't minimize?? and don't use the maximize button.. instead use the "restore" function and resize the window?

[something I've been wondering for a long time -- the abbys]

well I've been wondering this for a long time already..

 

 

 

 

 

we all know that the kind of pickaxe/axe doesn't matter at the obstacles in the abbys..

 

 

 

However I'm wondering does your lvl matter? does it matter which lvl you're in something?

 

 

 

and are there easier "things" (like at lvl 60 mining + agility, the agility is easier?)

[Should Jagex Link to Fan Sites?]

 

Jagex as a company is very responsible over protecting it's community, and so they prefer to keep them in an envrionment where they can be protected, if you look at forum such as this one they are at higher risk.

 

 

 

Currently they are fairly safe as it's a small community, but by linking people here, you will be left with alot of scammers hackers etc, there is no censor on this forum an that would become a major issue. It would put mass pressure on the sites and will probaly detract from them.

 

 

 

The runescape site it pratically totaly secure the main point is they dont allow images to be posted, which can contain viruses..... basically there would be much higher levels of peoepl losing accounts.

 

 

 

 

 

just wondering: how are JAGEX responsible for the safety? - it is the users own responsibility I think..

 

 

 

about censor: well I don't really know if that's really effective, nor do I think it's needed (I mean come on if somebody types some swearing it's about the intention, not the words, so even if they write f*ck it's still the same)!

 

 

 

also I've never understood how an image can have a virus - apart from "bugs" in the software...

[barrow set up help...]

hey I wanted to do barrows again...

 

 

 

But I'm wondering what setup would fit me best.. here are my current stats:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm wondering what I should wield (and take in inventory)

 

 

 

current things I'm considering (please tell me if there's even a better way :) ):

 

 

 

 

basicly full proselyte + red dhide/whip. This way I'm going to pray at all monsters (maybe partly not at guthans..). Problem with this setup is that I still fail sometimes... Also my ranging is very low so ahrims is hard for me. + this is pretty expensive.

 

 

 

the other thing I'm considering is:

 

 

basicly mystic (for brothers) + best melee (for caves) + range (for ahrim)

 

problem is that I don't know if mystic (with 67 def) can be enough at guthan + torag without pray.. Also it allows me to have less inventory spots..

 

 

 

anybody got some usefull advice for me here? - also look at my stats please (can't wield black dhide..)

 

 

 

thanks in advance

[Post YOUR Runecrafting Setup.]

currently I'm wielding this:

 

 

 

 

mostly cause I just have the blue dhide from a random and still wait to get pked so I loose it :S

[got stuck in fairy tales pt II]

well I got stuck in the part where you need to use the fairy rings for the first time!

 

 

 

my quest journal says (in blue):

 

I found a plaque with some strange inscription on, near the mysterious runes of zanaris. Maybe I can use it to decode the message I found on the certificate, which seems quite important. - I should keep it with me

 

 

 

now according to tip.it quest guide I should go to the fairy ring and enter the codes... However I'm unable to do so, it keeps telling "I don't know what you thought would happen, but whatever it was, it didn't" :( - what am I doing wrong??

[RTS - Real Time Strategys]

I really love playing warcraft 3...

 

 

 

The story/campaign is simply magnificent..

 

 

 

also I like that you have 4 totally different teams, which all work in completely different ways!

[runescape mainpage is offline]

well this just encoutered a few minuts ago.. I was runecrafting on a german world but wanted to go back to a normal world so I could trade..

 

 

 

However when I tried to load the world select page (you can't quick select on a german server), it couldn't load the runescape site!

 

 

 

trying to go to runescape.com doesn't work.. This is very strange since I can still load the world I was playing (by pressing 'back'). However any thing else from runescape doesn't load.

 

 

 

anybody else has the same problem and knows how to fix it??

 

 

 

EDIT: problems seems to be fixed right now... strange...

[Finding fast Pest Control Worlds using the World Monitor]

well you can easily find a "decent" world this way..

 

 

 

btw check out the screeny I made earlier:

 

 

 

 

Something really strange happened in w 69 lol... a friend told me later a high ranked player (no names :P) put his private on for a minute..

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: why can't I post images anymore??? is Tip.it also going this way from not allowing any websites??

[How many Crackers are There?]

I think the total which are still "in" the economy are around 100...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

however the ones which aren't in the economy anymore I guess around 400-500. Many people have stopped playing but still own a cracker.

[New poll]

I find it funny that 14% voted "to have fun" - if that's your longterm goal, it means you don't have fun yet??

[We got a couple missing worlds here...]

I've done a simple whois on the links they'll most likely have, and a whois returns that they are registered with JAGEX (the DNS that is), however they are "offline". Also if you type the link to those world directly, you will notice that it tries to load SOMETHING, but the connection won't be resolved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw this is the most likely link for w49: http://ams199.runescape.com/l1,p0,j0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ow and w22 is only removed a short time ago (I do remember it being offline...)

[Eastern Lands = Range Update?]

if you ask the "monk" after you made the sword (but before you give it), how to wield it, it will tell you that it's a special eastern technique...

[Can someone help please :S]

well you can read here about the 403-forbidden error... (google is your friend :P)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it comes when you connect to the mainpage of runescape something certainly wrong! However this happens since the last update also when you try to load a world directly (ie when using a world switcher or bookmarks).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit:

 

 

 

If you think that the Web URL *should* be accessible to all and sundry on the Internet and you have not recently changed anything fundamental in your Web site setup, then an 403 message indicates a deeper problem. The first thing you can do is check your URL via a Web browser. This browser should be running on a computer to which you have never previously identified yourself in any way, and you should avoid authentication (passwords etc.) that you have used previously. Ideally all this should be done over a completely different Internet connection to any you have used before (e.g. a different ISP dial-up connection). In short, you are trying to get the same behaviour a total stranger would get if they surfed the Internet to your Web page URL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this type of browser check indicates no authority problems, then it is possible that your Web server (or surrounding systems) have been configured to disallow certain patterns of HTTP traffic. In other words, HTTP communication from a well-known Web browser is allowed, but automated communication from other systems is rejected with an 403 error code. This is unusual, but may indicate a very defensive security policy around your Web server.

 

 

 

This part looks like what happens to you... Epecially since JAGEX tries to remove third party (or a better better word is "not well-known", since the runescape site never defines when a browser is deemed third party...) browsers!

[27 March 2007 - What Lies Below]

lol faster chaos crafting :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the most useless runes to craft lol...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well maybe we can powercraft chaos runes now (if it's much faster than the abbys).

[bug in castle`wars?]

I did a couple of CW games today and 1 time a strange thing happened. Nothing really exciting, but still worth posting :P...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I won the game, but instead of being teleported to the "public" room I was teleported to the waiting room again! - But I still won, which resulted in me having tickets in the waiting room :).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^^ there you see, I wield 2 tickets..
