That's what I've been trying to say. Just because there's less people in this case does not mean that anything will be closer between them. While the difference is negligible, even in theory, this left over group has nothing special about them. They're just the product of jagex's perfect player. Submissive to any updates they're unaffected by while they fish in catherby with their friends all day. This filter jagex applied to the general rs population didn't exactly make the left overs special or anything, is what I'm trying to say.

Very, very well put. I'm in that same boat. I have a good friend and one of the only reasons I still log on every so often is to loan him a party hat or two and have fun with them in a crowded bank. They just took soo many facets away from this game. People just can't bond the same way that they used to. There's no trust anymore. Jagex disallowed people to have the ability to put trust into each other. They sacrificed our freedom of trust in other players to ensure the safety of a stupid minority, and to end "unbalanced trades." I don't really play anymore, but if I did ... well now, I wouldn't play anymore. I made a fake parody post that was laughable including these exact updates a few weeks ago. It was funny. Nobody thought that that joke of a reality of runescape could actually happen. Runescape will still be the same game to many, but jagex has lost a core group of loyal players.

I made a thread about them right before the first episode came out, and nobody knew about em. I've loved their stuff for a long time now, enough to buy their season 1 DVD. I just can't get enough of the show, although I like their standup even more.

A little? You disgust me And you, mister Beginner, disgust me. You overreact. A portion of the population is unaffected like you maybe, but to others, this ruined the game. For all the huge clans like DI who can no longer really pk, are they overreacting? They have no reason to play anymore, since the majority only still play for their clan.

Well they made the game much easier, and got rid of the majority of personal responsibility a person has over their character.

I wouldn't call it them making the community smaller. They're alienating and ridding themselves of a select group of players, those who are effected greatly by this. They still have the same group of players they've been focusing on for the past few years who are completely unaffected by this and will continue playing. Lucky for jagex that's the vast majority of players.

As soon as you can after surgery start putting ice on your face. You won't swell immediately so you won't have any reason to put ice on your face, but if you don't early on, you'll swell a lot later. Other than that, just know it'll go well and hope you get lucky and don't have much pain. I never had to take any meds after mine so I lucked out, except I didn't use ice since I was so fine with it and I swelled a lot.

Interesting so far - although I've only looked through 3-4 pages. Considering this thread has 20k views so far this fast, I think I'll wait til it calms down a bit to read the rest and post my own.

Oh, don't have any doubts of the coders. It's made by Will Wright, creator of the sims. Just watch some full length videos of gameplay and you'll understand it all. You basically create a civilization, and creating the creatures is just one of the steps you take on your way. You could ask the same question about creating people on the sims though. It might seem pointless but there's so much customizability open to you it's almost like playing god.

Great to hear, finally those ongoing debates finally came through for us.

What's your motivation for doing that, other than being bored? Sure you might get a few people banned, but what difference do you really think you're making? Not to say there's anything wrong with wanting to help, but don't you think you can do better things with your time than report bots that will be replaced in a matter of hours?

1. What to you qualifies as abuse or scamming? A blatant breaking of a rule, censor evasion, advertising a cheat site, etc. Something that can objectively be verified without any uncertainty. 2. How often do you report abuse? Now never because I don't play, but I would occasionally for the aforementioned reasons. 3. Where would you draw the line for who you would report? I wouldn't report anyone I knew already. 4. Do you warn rulebreakers, if so for what rules? No, it's not the player's responsibility. 5. Where do you must often see rulebreaking? I don't really see much rule breaking. 6. Any tips for reporting, or in your opion the best way to report. Only report if you're sure. Otherwise you're just going trigger happy hoping to get pmodded or something, and doing it for the wrong reasons. 7. Or any other topic like these.

I became obsessed with it like two summers ago when it was originally slated for release. Now I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist until 2009. I've been hurt too many times. :(

Jagex's in-game rules have nothing to do with the court system. If they were to sue a company and lose the case, that would set a messy precedent for them. Jagex sees RWT as being wrong but I would think a court could rule differently.

Just read your reply, Eugenyg. That, combined with your other thing I read earlier, would make a great article. Not too many people even are aware of your viewpoint, and it's a great perspective on things. They've been doing this for years now though. All in the name of their perfect communist-like (I've been calling em communist in nature for awhile too) utopia where, like you said, you have your artificial peaceful environment filled with players blissfully unaware of what they've lost.

One of those social coordinators/directors on cruises sounds like it'd be great for you. I don't know about the pay, but I do know they have a blast traveling all the time, hosting events, they get all kinds of recognition, and if you think you're a good enough actor, you could eventually be the main cruise host for all shows at night. I don't know how realistic a job like that is, but it sounds like a great fit for you. You would be away from family/friends for awhile though.

Like what's been said, I'd say, no, because it's subjective. But, if the class was taught in a direction where the students were to question morals, rather than be instructed about morals, I'd be for it.

I agree. Until they remove the ability to drop items or be killed with items (pretty sure trading doesn't matter since they have control over that and ban people over unbalanced trades), then the prior updates like ruining the duel arena were completely in vain. It doesn't matter that one route of transferring was ended. It's not like those people are done with what they do know. They'll just drop trade.

They think it's a game for nerds because they see people playing rs as a social outlet that's below socializing in real life. They figure since these people are playing rs, they have nothing better to do.

Care to explain how anyone could know what will happen in the future over something they have no control of?

I'd like to know how you know what a definite bot is. If anything, jagex needs to take away some power from players, because it shouldn't even be the responsibility of the player. They created this environment where some people think they need to take it upon themselves to police areas where they think bots are, and it gets to their head.

If jagex goes along with their trend and makes it completely impossible to transfer items on a onesided basis, they won't have to even worry about bots anymore since bots won't be able to transfer their items.

If you'd want to, go ahead. Here's my template from last year, and I just used a tree I found on google images. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=140 ... hotobucket

Just found it. :)

Anyone want to try searching for the tip it xmas tree I made awhile back? I couldn't find it searching and I'm at college and it's on my home computer. I try to post that around xmas every year for the heck of it.
