Very happy to see the monthly behind the scenes. Being a typical pro-Jagex, removing BTS was a very big mistake, it was a feature that players liked and added no cost to their operations... Can't wait to see what these updates means to the gameplay.

What I noticed lately is a lot of people don't mind bots because it provides them with cheap raw materials... yeah the community is really that bad. Tip.it's is going way downhill when someone ranting about bots gets flamed... I also have a feeling that a good portion of posters here use bots, there are so many in-game, it's normal to think there would be so many in here too.

Seeing the pace he'S going right now with mining, smithing and magic... It wouldn't surprise me.

3PM, you need to learn some sarcasm buddy...

Your ignorance amazes me. The reason it was good was the community, which isn't there anymore. If RSC was opened back up to free players, and access was never limited to a few times a year, a lot of people would play. This was proved when Reines made RSCDaemon, the community was awesome, but Jagex shut it down. The best thing on rsc was the pking. F2p pking was so amazing. The reason that rsc will die again before the registrations open again is because the game sucks without a community and right now it's mainly just rs2 ppl checking it out for a few days then they'll quit. Back then you couldn't really make a living from soley doing combat, now that's pretty much the best way. Back when mining and fishing were actually some of the most profitable things and actually worth the time to do, not to just raise the levels.. Your ignorance is amazing too... Access is not limited to few times a year, only getting your account enabled. After those 2 weeks, everyone who has gained access can still play RSC, but most don't because RSC is at a near death state and will probably always be like this. When you mean community, do you mean the quality of people or the quantity? Seems you are ranting more about quantity than quality.... You say that "The reason that rsc will die again before the registrations open again is because the game sucks without a community and right now it's mainly just rs2 ppl checking it out for a few days then they'll quit." ... Sigh, RSC isn't "dead" and registration have already begun... The reason it will die down is that there are not enough players interested in playing a vintage game like RSC. Some people look for a community to spark interest in a game, while others will look for gameplay and not everyone likes not being able to run, not having bank notes and having to use a sleeping bag every hour or so...

Yep, that was pretty funny. Still doesn't change the fact that we have a botting problem, regardless of how funny that post was.

It is boring to play without a community. If more people were playing then more people would play...haha. Even if both of the RSC worlds were filled, it wouldn't be enough to support the community the way it existed back when the game was thriving. There once was only 2 servers and people still view it as the golden age of the entire gaming history. I remember logging in RSC early mornings with 50-100 players on every worlds, again at a time people claim was the golden age of RS, not a wealthy community if you ask me. I still call it hypocrisy from ranters though.

Wow, this thread is very depressing... Wish I had a banhammer at times like these...

I "played" with that bot for over 15 minutes, constantly catching a kebbit and watching it come to my bird and waiting for up to 1 minute to see if he'd ever start acting human and go after another... the to never tried to catch a kebbit when he was attracted to my bird... There is no way that was a human being controlling that character, I'd bet my cat on this and I love my cat!

I've been doing some falconry recently with my bonecrusher to get my weekly strange rocks and I noticed some players trying to grab my bird and acting very suspiciously. For example, my bird would catch the kebbit, another player would run to my bird and would not act until I get my loot... very bot-like. Has anyone witnessed this or reported any players? I'm proud to say I hope Jagex bans the player I reported, I even added him to keep track of him in the highscore should he ever gets deleted.

Looks like Drumgun in on a pace to be the first to achieve 7 skills at 200M in about 2 months. I wonder what's the next skill he plans to train. Jdelacroix looks on pace to be the first to achieve 9 and 10 skills at 100M Xp in about 1 ½ month. Both Zarfot and Jdelacroix should cross the 2B mark at the end of june or early july. Aasiwat will have to pick up the pace if he wants that first spot secured.

I think the "popularity" of RSC at the moment shows us that all those players claiming the good old days were better are actually a bunch of liars. Pretty much what people rant about these days is what RSC offers them right now, no trade limits, real pk loots, no GE... Go ahead, play it all you want! Stop filling our rants forums with insignificant trolling and play RSC today! Although you'll probably be alone in a month, have fun!

Deja vu has gained like 1M xp in less than a year, I'm pretty sure he's not that active anymore...

Weird slayer Inventory.... but grats on the scroll and kill !

Aasiwat has the most Xp at the moment with 2,05Bil Xp. Gertjaars is 2nd with 2,02B Xp but has most likely quit since he hasn't gained any XP for more than 2 weeks. Zarfot and Jdelacroix are battling for 3rd position with approx 1,87Bil Xp each. There are currently no feature on the official highscore that keeps track of ranks by XP. I have no idea if there are websites out there that do. www.rsstats.net - a nice website that tracks XP gained per day with other nice features. It's maintained by Bauke, a regular Tip.it'er (or at least he used to be).

S U O M I's real test will come once he starts any of these skills : RC, Slayer and Herblore (if indeed he has a cashflow problem). Edit: lol at Bazzaminxer, don't worry about it mate.

Agreed miracleman. Does anyone know how Suomi got 2M Xp in a day mining? I know it involves superheating because he got roughly 2M xp in both magic and smithing on the same day... Gold superheating with gauntlets and constant dropping? or banking? This seems way more than what I could imagine...

RC is basically a done deal with Phoenix Odin doing dungeon these days, Slayer is about a year off unless Toony stops like skateenjoi did last year, Summoning is pretty far at this point but the skill is relatively new and it will be impacted if another bonus XP week end gets implemented the same way it was done and Dungeoneering has not been impacted yet by batch 2 and higher prestige... Mintella is indeed not a contender for maxing out all skills at 200M.

Estimates range from 5 years to 10 years, with a lot of people saying it will never happen... Let's say the player with the most XP today with about 2,05 Bil Xp gets 1M Xp per day. That player will still need 8,2 years to max out all skill at 200M. Keep in mind some players can get more than 6-7M xp per day and with the bonus XP week-end, we saw some players getting 30-40M XP in a day.

I dont see how, but we shall see... Same here, still too far to be a contender...

This is probably the reason why you are not taken seriously.

Ancient magick blood spells could also work. I averaged 15 kills / trip a couple years ago with bad equip compared to what's available today.

Having all skills going to 120 would actually make most of the skills faster to max 200M out. All gathering skills would be boosted as well as combat. I seriously don't think Drumgun will ever try to tackle 200M Xp slayer, I'm curious as to what skill he/she's gonna train after the 7th 200M skill. I'm keeping score on Aasiwat, Zarfot, Jdelacroix and Kingduffy, even though S U O M I and Telemonarques are impressive as well as ERW J and Drumgun, they are not on pace to get the spotlight or have chosen to build their skills in a weird way to max (ERW J and Drumgun).

Hunter strange rocks more often and bonecrusher working on hunter bones.... se-oui-tte!!!

Looks like most of the top contenders are waiting for dungeon batch 2 before tackling the skill properly. Zarfot, Jdelacroix (who's currently rank 3 in XP and going at top speed) and Aasiwat are all around lvl 70-73 in dungeoneering and they look like they only use peng points and lamps on the skills recently. Looks like Gert is either on break or decided to quit, he gained no xp in more than a week and Aasiwat has almost 30M Xp on him. Looks like Drumgun will be the first to achieve 7 skills at 200M Xp during the summer, but at 15M xp slayer, he's not a contender. At these rates, Zarfot and Jdelacroix should cross the 2B mark in the middle of the summer. I think we'll have a clearer view once batch 2 is released.
