SHIPPOU

I only have 9 tattoos currently ... any one who is considering getting a tat, just remember that it's perminate, and you may regret getting it later in your life ....

I was recently in the book store, and noticed that there were 2 Runescape books on the shelves ( http://www.amazon.com/RuneScape-Betrayal-T-S-Church/dp/1848567227 - http://www.amazon.com/RuneScape-Return-Canifis-Runescape-2/dp/1848567278 ) . I bought them, and have read one, and 3/4 done with the other one. For those of you that have read them, what do you think of the stories and the way it's written ?

Greetings, I have been away from RS for quite some time now, and I am checking in to see what has changed. Last time I have played was when they first introduced dungeoneering. I played that for a couple days, became frustrated with the system and stopped playing again. The last time I played for any length of time was after they introduced Castle Wars. What I am asking is what has changed in the wide world of Rune Scape, and is there anything that will make it worth my time to get my paid membership back ? Thank you.

I find it pointless to make promises to myself that I know I will not keep.

http://www.minecraft.net I played it for a while, and gotten really bored, really FAST. I bought a legal copy of Beta .... and here is what I think. The game type is a very old design, but I find out that I need "the latest and greatest" video card to play it. Currently things like trees and running water cause a LOT of game lag ( tiny draw distance ). I find the lack of "stuff" very boring, and the fact game developers have STATED they do not want to add content is frighting (( Official forum: http://"http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=279635#p3902758" ""Repetitive Inventory"" section )) . This is probably because I have used a lot of virtual worlds such as Secondlife and Activeworlds in the past ( still use ActiveWorlds ) . Building takes WAY too long, resource gathering for said building project is an epic undertaking ( non-hacking, or what hard core fans call the Honorable Way ). Now for the old Clasic Minecraft It's cool that it's free, but not much good at design, and I CAN NOT SAVE MY PROGRESS. Multiplayer is a joke. 5 - 10 minutes to load ( all servers ), constant disconnects, unusable due to griefers destroying anything you make. If I knew than, what I know now, I wouldn't have spent $21 USD on that game, until final release, and it could be properly reviewed.

I love how most posters above me never bothered to research any of their numbers. #1 - Wisconsin teachers make an average of $45,000 USD a year, http://teacherportal.com/salary/Wisconsin-teacher-salary which is on PAR with the national average http://www.payscale.com/research/US/All_K-12_Teachers/Salary #2 - Under the bill, they loose 10% - 20% of that #3 - State workers (unionized, non-teaching) in WI makes 12% less than non-union workers right now. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=134085454

Never had to verify anything in youtube ... in fact it is still linked to my yahoo Email ... http://www.youtube.com/rls0812 It is laughable how paranoid folks in this forum get over something minor ... and the "phone spam" is illegal in the US.

I need to check this forum more often ... I'm a transplant from the original forums. <<<<<<<<<<<<

People always get the definitions of furry mixed up with other things. Fur-suiters = folks who dress up as furries, go to fur conventions dressed up, e.t.c. Furries = folks who may believe they are anthropomorphic ( animals with human characteristics ) Some furries believe they are another animal, other believe they have a spirit of an animal inside of them, others believe they have an animal guide. There is tons of ancient cultures that believed this. From cave people, to Japanese, to American-Indians . Evan in modern times, anthropomorphic animals are used in everything from children's cartoons, to company mascots. Me personally, I wish I could be a fox youlkai ( Kisune from ancient Japanese folk lore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune )

OK after killing a bunch of different critters suggested here ... Since I really haven't played RS in over 5 years, I have no idea what a waterfiend is... so I skipped that. Looked around for greater demons, but couldn't find any that were easy to get at that weren't in the wildy, so I skipped them Lesser demons have a bad drop rate ... black demons have a bad drop rate, though I could only kill 9 before running out of food. Blue dragons take way too much food. I went around and experimented with tons of different critters, and found that Hill Giants have a great drop rate for gold charms, and using ring of wealth almost doubles my chances of getting one from them.

78 att and str ... 80 def I want low lvls for fast drop rate. Greater and black demons would take too much time to kill, and I have never used a cannon in my life, (even though I did the quest the day it came out) due to incredibly high cost.

What low level critter has a fairly good drop rate of gold charms, and what low level critter has a fairly good drop rate of crimson charms? I finally decided to try summoning, and I ran into a wall. I have yet to find any good critters to farm for these charms. (( I am very low lvl hunter, and slayer )) EDIT: 78 att and str ... 80 def .... no special armor or weapons.

I wish I could pull posts off the old forum, since I have long lost all my RSC pics .... any way it is kinda funny a few days ago I was catching lizards with nothing on but my bunny ears and some one came by who randomly called me a noob ... Any way ... almost no one knows me, due to the fact I NEVER PKed

Reply To The Autonomous Problem I believe whoever wrote this article may not have been playing RS for a long time. Jagex used a form of captcha quite some time ago to try to get rid of botters, inadvertently making everyone in the game world mad.

This is more common in Second Life .... folks for some reason fall in love with some one else's online personality, and they get romantically involved. This spills over to RL, were the folks think the other is just like their online persona .... sooner or later the relation goes bad. ***My personal opinion is the kid had very few friends and felt alone ... she reached out to some one who had a good online persona, and "fell in love" .. this spilled over to real life, and thus we have this story.

Tier 6 long sword .. best I have made, unfortunately . Prayer is 56

I hate to sound smug to a MOD, but .... what are you talking about?! "Learn combat?" You can't safespot from a magic user! Gear choice is up to the game, not me, and I almost have the guide memorized I've read it so many times trying to figure out how the hay to do this. Here is a screen shot from floor 1, complexity 6, third room in ... how the hay am I suppose run threw here with getting owned?! EDIT: no mine rocks so far, no good drops.

Please note I have been "out of the loop" for a very long time ... I decided to get back into RS to see what is going on, and seen a new skill "Dungeneering" .. So I went and checked it out, soon discovering this "skill" is worse than runecrafting, and as badly conceived as construction! Evan if I reset the dungeons, the most exp I get is 20 or so a run. The major problem is lack of weapons and armor, even the stuff I make in the dungeon is almost worthless. I run the dungeons at 1 complexity, due to, if I run it much higher I die so many times, it kills most of the exp, and I get the same or LESS as a complexity 1 any way. The other thing is the one boss, Astea Frostweb. Last time I played RS, magic def was based on your magic lvl, and most magical attacks couldn't touch me ( this is before RS multiplied multiplied damage and HP by 10 ) . This boss, even at low lvls, kills me over and over and over. Even if I fish out all the fishing spots, I never have enough food to kill this boss in 1 go. Usually it takes 3 - 6 trys at it ( personal record at most failed attempts in a row stands at 17 ). I've tried stabbing it with weapons, blasting it with spells, shooting arrows at it, and praying. Nothing seems to work! If you look at my stats, you can see I am NOT a newby, so why does this boss present so many issues? ... In closing .... Is dungeneering suppose to be this frustrating, or am I doing something wrong ?

Ebay and Amazon for the most part. To answer the question of who buys this stuff ... tech geeks who build their own electronics, small businesses, and some retail stores ( I sell all my motors to a hobby store ). Just because a logic chip is from 1995, doesn't mean it is obsolete. A lot of electronic items you use now-a-days have old technology running them. There are high end companies in Germany, and sweat shops in China that specialize is dismantling old tech for parts. A nice example of something interesting is a microwave. A dead one can yield $7-$15 in sell-able parts, not counting the copper.

Greenbay, even though I am a Steelers fan ... 12 point spread .. BTW as I am watching the Half time show while posting this, boy the song is really BAD, visuals are good, music is bad ... Slash is the only memorable part of this massive mess-up.

As my financial situation gets worse, I am forced to dig threw my items to see what is sell-able, and what is not. One thing I am notorious for is acquiring and keeping technology others think are junk. I have dead computers, VCRs, CD players, and every thing else all over the place. Now-a-days I am looking at the parts in these items for cash. The some of the latest discoveries I made was: *An old AMD 850 cartridge processor I sold for over $40 USD *An old AMD 1400 processor I sold for over $20 USD *A sound card from 1996 I sold for $12 USD *The parts from a 150 watt burned out power supply I sold for $6 USD *A chip from an old video card, I sold for $9 USD *The 3 motors from an old non working VCR I sold for $7 USD, the rest of the components I sold for $12 USD *I sold 4 computer shells for $5 USD each *Sold 2 laptop monitors for $15 USD each *The motherboard from a 150MB hard drive sold for $32 USD *Logic chips from a very old computer's motherboard I sold for $3 USD each *I found a broken Idog in the trash, and sold it's parts for $16 USD It's unreal how much some of the parts from tech "junk" can be worth!

The sales system that WoW has would work well ... limited time listings, minimum bid, and buy it now price ... BUT ... That is easy to manipulate also

Meh. The original wilderness was a pain in the but, and the original trading system was chaotic, to say the least. Most of the new(er) skills are, in my opinion, are useless and a waste of time. Why Jagex has to go backward, instead of trying to innovate new non bug features is beyond me.

Quite by accident I found a way for newer players to make a lot of GP in a short amount of time. All one has to do is hang out around the grand exchange, and collect all the ashes that are left behind from folks burning logs. Currently they sell for over 50 gp each, and there are tons of them.

Heh, 8 years already? I still remember comming over from the old forums like it was yesterday ... gods I feel old!
