You can use an emulator to run mac OS X on a windows. Got a copy of a new MAC OS for 120 bucks off amazon a few months ago. Saved 400 dollars I think. You can get older versions of mac like 8.5 for free as well. Here is a site that will help your windows seem like MAC.

Nice read =D> All though, I know a pmod irl that RWT's >.<

playing 10 hours a day to 99 in 12 days from lvl 70 stringing yew longs. and you lose nothing! Good guide for poor people nevertheless. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I work in the computer business now too. I build custom systems. I wonder if this would be better suited in the Tech part of the forums now that you mention it. I am more of a Mac fan myself =p. I Heard if you use something like Windows Virtual Machine, you can play on it and if you get a virus on it, it won't effect your regular system. I've fooled around with DSL (Damn small Linux) but is it anything like the actual thing?

I made my first mill by winning wheel of fortune... oh wait.. wrong game.. we are talking about rs, not neopets =p. I found a whip on the ground... after i killed a noob...

Isn't you tube on a list that Jagex will allow to be said in game? I can't atm but someone should double check the reporting academy.

Temporary Internet Files Browser History for Firefox and IE Cookies Typed URLS Auto complete Form History Recent Documents The items in the start menu Items in the recycle bin Clipboard Items Temporary Files ....and many more You can pick and choose which items you want. I recommend you keep your computer's hard drive as clean as possible, dust the inside of your computer near the modem area, and don't browse more then two things at a time. I use AOL as my ISP. You can get some speed boosting products for a few bucks more a month from some ISP's. There are a few risky tweaks you can do, but I won't tell you :-# The best suggestion I can give you is to upgrade to DSL, Broadband, Fiber optics, or T1.

more like a half assed spelling job of title It seems you are copping out laziness. If people don't like the damn updates then don't suggest a damn thing. I am sick of seeing people rant before they get to experience the update. Don't bash jagex.

Pjing ,luring, rushing, and teaming were what the old wild was about. Sorry to break it to you like everyone else, THE WILD WILL NEVER COME BACK!! I am sick of these threads.

Huh? Wrong forum btw.

I agree with the above poster. Also, recommending an all nighter is a bad idea. There has been several cases of people dying from over playing video games and dehydrating. These are all common sense type of things to do. here is some advice: break 13m xp up in small goals. No one will get 13m xp in one sitting.

I edited a few things. To the above poster, Macroing can get you to 500 total in 2-3 days max so 500 is kind of low.

Oh, then you can delete this topic, I feel dumb :(. *types in random forum numbers and tries to find secret forums*

Hide tags organize it better. I hate seeing guides that are continuous text. It is also 1 of many formats I choose. It looks better with hide tags. If it upsets you, I can pm you an unhidden version. Edit : Made a version without the hide tags :D .. ~~bballer

I meant a forum where they be at. The rules would still apply.

The truth is, they weren't careful enough with their account. In this guide, you will learn how to secure your account where it will be almost impossible to be "hacked". I will also add a few things on speeding up your computer. Also, It is almost impossible to be hacked though Jagex's servers so don't blame them. This is geared for PC users, not MAC or other users (Sorry!) Viruses Hundreds of Viruses are made daily. This is why keeping your Anti-virus (AV) up to date is of the utmost importance. Never use two AV at the same time. The softwares will mix up and give false reporting more often. What does my AV do? Your AV keeps out viruses such as Trojan and Key logger's, which can steal personal information. What's the difference between a Key logger and a Trojan? Well a key logger is just like its name, it logs keys you press on your keyboard. A Trojan is just what it seems as well. Like in the Trojan horse story, a Computer Trojan sneaks into your computer and destroys your computer from the system folders, then works it's way across your computer. What kind of things can viruses do? Here are a few things: - The person who runs a Trojan can see a live feed of your computer screen kind of like schools can. - The person running the Trojan can dump all the password hashes stored on your computer, brute force them and get your E-mail and pay pal passwords. - Trojans can take over your computer. Remember Synchroneyes from school? Its sort of like that. The war against Viruses Here are a few tips to help you better protect your account from Viruses. 1. Get an Anti-virus Software. (Or improve yours). There are many to choose from. If you were to ask me which one I would recommend, I would tell you AVG. AVG is free and amazingly helpful. I installed it on my sister's laptop and it cleared 87 Viruses and she hasn't had any in the last three years. I have had some issues with Norton and Mcafee. Trend Micro is a system hog. 2. Update AV Daily and Run Daily Scans. When you update your AV software, a database of current and most recent viruses are added so your AV knows what to watch for. I have my computer set to Turn on at 6:00 AM (EST), update then run AV at 6:10, so I get up at 7:00 its ready to go. 3. Change Your Password Monthly (I recommend every other week). You are given a 24-character limit to your password, I suggest you utilize it. You can use random password generators to generate a password like "1Hdk5kdvbb0b9". Most have a length option so you can makes a password between 3 and 40 characters. Just Google Random Password Generators. 4. Change Recovery Questions Monthly. You can use up to 40 characters per recovery question answer. **A note about tip 3 and 4: Since remembering passwords can be hard. I recommend you write it down and put it somewhere safe like under a filing cabinet. Don't e-mail yourself this information. If someone infects your computer, they will most likely get access to your e-mail account as well. Ad-ware and Spy-ware (kudos to Whatis.com) -Ad ware is is any software application in which advertising banners are displayed -Spy ware is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge Spybot search and destroy is good for getting rid of these. Using a Shared Computer Using a shared computer, whether at home, school, or a public place, is a bad idea. You never know what others' do on that computer. You don't know those users' habits. My in real life friend is horrible about computer security. His AV software is 4 years past subscription plus it hasn't been updated. He has lost probably 300 dollars between Gaming accounts and buying a new Windows OS. Speeding Computer Up Here are a few things that can slow down your computer: -Adware and Spyware (see above) -Full or nearly full hard drive Go through and get rid of junk you dont use. If it has been 6 months or more since the file was last use and it is not a system related file, then delete it. -Extra and temporary files as well as registry issues. Download Ccleaner and use this to clean your computer up. (Cleared 4 gigs of extra crap when I first used it ) Guide to Ccleaner This is the basic interface of cleaner There are two main tabs, Windows and Applications. Windows is more of the system related stuff and Applications has to do with your programs. There is also a registry cleaner. It fixes issues in your registry. You can also remove programs and change the start-up programs to help increase boot-up speed. To use all you do is tick the check boxes of the areas you wish to clean. It will prompt you on some items Under the options tab in the settings area, you can adjust the cleaning power. I use the 3 pass method. You can do other thins such as setting it to run on computer start-up. ____________________________________________________ -Not enough RAM. You can purchase RAM cards anywhere from 256MB to 4GB a card Tweaking Virtual Memory Disclaimer: Be careful when tweaking computer. You may cause harmful side effects First of all, Virtual Memory acts like RAM. It uses hard drive space instead of hardware. I still recommend the hardware though. Open up 'My Computer' Right Click then click 'properties'. You should see this Now click the 'Advanced' tab Click the 'settings' button under Performance section. You should see this: Click 'change' under the Virtual Memory section. This should appear: Click the custom radio button box and change the VM to what ever you want I am only limited to 4096MB (4GB) but some people can set it higher or lower. When you exit, it will ask you to restart your computer, which you should do. Now, when you press "Ctrl + Alt+ Delete' you will notice that your Commit Charge is much Higher than before.

It would be cool to have a topic where users who have been here lets say 2 years and have over 1k posts in. In this topic they can discuss the forum and give insight on updates and stuff. I think this will be a good idea so users who have been around more can talk without "rookies" adding spam or irrelevant messages. I would love to have a more mature setting.

Honestly we need more computer security. I can't think of a single actual incident where Jagex's server's security was compromised. I hear all the time of people's accounts being "hacked". My account was hacked due to using it on my sisters laptop not realizing she didn't have AV.

Fist of Guthix is about strategy. I've seen lvl 40's beat lvl 120's. They put the houses and different objects in the mini-game for a reason didn't they?

1. Runescape was not 100% a pking MMO, otherwise it would be called "PKscape" I do notice Pking was a big part of the game. 2. Runescape is a great MMO because of it's constant changing. I am glad they removed PKing. Also, don't tell me I wanted PKing removed because I suck at it. I have a good pking account I used to use but it got boring after the first 100 kills. I am thinking about trying BH on my lvl 54 pker soon. 3. I am not a fanboy. I play rs in my free time. Maybe 1-2 hours every 3 days now. 4. A lot of us complained about Macro's , so they listened and removed the reason to macro, thus adding the trade limit and removing edge. That being said, a lot of people still use auto fighting or auto anything macro's on their main accounts or pures. My little advice is to give Jagex advice instead of flaming them. They really do listen to the players. They ignore bomb threats, flaming, and riots.

It's like getting a pizza from Papa Jones or Pizza Hut. One pizza could look ugly but taste amazing and vise versa (Not saying you should taste Homeless people :shame: )

1. there is nothing funny about rape, so don't "lol" Why do people mix nudity with sex, Oh wait... Hollywood! nudity was mixed with sex before Hollywood was invented :roll: Not in the same way as it is now. .....

They shouldn't stare. I am imagining one and nothing has happened You can thank the media for that one.

1. You can get skin cancer even with sun an lotion fully clothed. 2. Most people have enough common sense to wear clothes on cold days. 3. Find me 100 proven cases on the direct link between skin cancer and frostbite caused by being nude and not being stupid.
