kind of doubtful most of them would stop based on consequence alone, so it might just be much harder to get in

did all the pm bots die too? everything just went kind of quiet in the past two hours

I hope players on w2 are good at ducking really fast.

from 16 mithril ceremonial swords to 46 rune bars and a bit of gold it's okay i guess

It could just be that they're waiting for them to make their move, and then punch them in the face with the law when it happens, so that they can take the money as damages from them, in addition to having more solid evidence to work with. Nothing says victory like raining financial ruin on your enemies and making a spectacle out of it. Picking the largest targets for both humiliation and then destruction seems like exactly the kind of thing a company that deals in these matters is all about. why simply punish those who oppose you when you can do so much more yes, let the hatred flow through you

yeah, say for instance, you're in stealing creation if you aren't wearing something, chances are you'll die in one hit from the first attacker with a weapon

Given how many bots are in the game, and how many people are profiting off of those bots, I don't think "the right players" have been around for a long time, nor are there enough to actually support the game on their own. Frankly, it's sort of backwards to think that in a true multiplayer game, the main focus of the gameplay is to focus on your own goals and only limit interaction based on how those goals measure up to other people, instead of allowing as many people as possible to enjoy the content on a widely accessible medium, and to share those experiences with each other. It's basically like playing on a flash game portal with a chatroom, where the only connection is empty banter and ignoring the chatroom to focus on whatever single player game you're playing. On some level, you're playing a more interactive funorb, but with all boring games, and sometimes other people can enter and screw with you for the hell of it.

Since rs has been systematically designed to largely retain trolls in the playerbase (as the more aware and friendless make the choice to leave rs more readily than those who do not give two potatoes about the actual game but enjoy preying on the weak), this would rapidly fall into lord of the flies level of governance. If they made a big promotion about it and got everybody in to try it so that they all see what happens afterwards, such a move would backfire for them as far as pr goes.

Eh, I'll take their word for it ever since that guy who was posting the reminder for the end of the alchemy amulet promotion was mysteriously silenced a minute after the post, and it was removed with no trace left over.

i know this is the hideously unpopular and frankly blasphemous point of view, but i play runescape to experience interesting things and perhaps talk with people, not play spreadsheet simulator against thousands of other people who don't care about each other above the interactions of their own spreadsheets with others (which mostly involves finding new ways to screw each other over for better spreadsheets), and the rest of the stuff between is the means, not the end then again maybe they should just go to eve online, or i should get guild wars 2, but i can't make my clan go where they don't want to either way, i think this is why any kind of change that is remotely geared towards human beings, instead of bots, is purported to be "ruining the game" and "not fun" because it removes the horrible, paralyzing tedium that everybody else has moved past since the late 90s frankly people who oppose eoc for the reason that it's "too easy" and "doesn't involve any skill"....well, i had written something extremely violent in this space, but the rest of it stills stands; the last seven years has been a mockery to the definition of the word 'skill'

I for one wouldn't be opposed to this. That's the sort of thing that Solomon's shop should be used for. ofc, that would kind of make all the people who already bought spins for those items really, really furious

also, i'm pretty sure there are dg bots, considering the frost farming

The most telling point of this is that there doesn't seem to be any cap on how many fragments one is allowed to exchange for the full 5 millionish.

That totally won't cause crazy inflation!

So, the item descriptions are accurate then? They're mind control amulets?

yep, items that haven't been put in simply don't exist on beta server this was how the shark fists were for a while.... but even now they are not full weapons yet

Hopefully they handle it better than dwarf battleground, because it's kind of ridiculous for one person to draw all of the fire as soon as they attack somebody.

Well, your best bet for password copies is something like Keepass or Lastpass, which employs various methods to make sure that only you would be able to access that information.

Pretty much speaks to almost all the player feedback given during the EoC and how it was handled. Of course they still have a lot of time left to tweak these things but yeah, kind of like a face-slapper there. "Why do you have such large hands, grandma?""All the better to facepalm with, dear."

Not being able to come up with your own questions is baffling, considering that the current password recovery system allows this in the first place.

Having dumb looking demons is okay too, as they were portrayed in the olden days, there are many different interpretations of them showing various degrees of things anathema to humans. On a side note, the bandos helm is great in eoc, so it should maintain much value...they better have some freakin arma boots too if they're going so far to give everybody gloves

About holiday events: notably, all the thanksgiving events have either been somewhat low key, or outright lame to begin with, on account of it being largely american, and as such does not receive as much attention.

Right, but that can be adjusted too, so it's not as if it's impossible to do so.

It's about as logical as keeping the one person per npc dialogue limit around, with the reasoning that the person who got there before you deserves to stand there for ten minutes idling in the conversation options because they can.

Well, the difference is how much they want to jerk you around for money before giving you what you want.
