Maybe Obama-Broad Band will fix that. People on welfare will get free unlimited broadband internet and it will be available to the rest of the world at a small price.

Are you talking $20 a month or $20 total? Are you in college? If you are, some hosts give student discounts. I use 000webHost's free plan. I have a 100GB monthly bandwidth and 1.5GB of web space. I use it for testing random bits of code and to hold some images. Remember this: You get what you pay for.

Ask your self this... "Do I want to save up another 250 bucks and buy a laptop and play those games in better quality?" or "Do I want to spend money now, not learning the importance of saving to get higher quality items?". Your net book will overheat playing wow and those games. It will play it for an hour or so before you have to turn your net book off or leave it idle.

There are these little dots that look like: . . . . (see picture blue area) on the left side. Click that and drag it out of the area.

No. Buying any electronics used is generally a bad idea as you have no idea of how the previous owner took care of it. Most netbooks come with 512MB-1gig of memory, a 80-160GB hDD, and a 1.6-2GHz processor. The screen size is small. I used my net book to do research papers and check my email. I could fit it in my backpack at school. -A carrying case/sleve so it doesnt get damaged. -A security thing so no one steals it. -Cleaning items Honestly, I would just save up your money and get a full laptop. They are more useful in the long-run. I had a MSI Wind U120 netbook, but I just couldn't use it for anything productive.

I would try and do things that make money themselves, like MTK, merchanting, ect. Some semi-afkable skills you can do to make money include woodcutting, fishing, and slayer.

Since I mentioned its the type of mentality that some people are with, so I don't expect everyone to follow that kind of rules. As long as there are people around, there will never be a unified concept. Still just like Justin said, for the most part, play it right, and don't break rules. Since most people could use many things to justified their action, so by no means that I disagree with those that mentioned how RWT trading and selling since they are stating the facts. Its again, human nature. No one is perfect This discussion is "Are autoers still a problem", not "Are autoers legal in game".

just remember what you say on these forums alot of moderators from runescape looks around here, especially a topic i made about autoers so just watch what you say, about admitting to real world trading. It's not a problem as this was almost 5 years ago, on long forgotten accounts. I quit Runescape anyways, so I don't think I would care that much if this account got banned for whatever reason. Keep in mind, Jagex have been known to ban accounts owned by the same person who used/uses a separate account to break rules.

Whoever made 20g irl.

Lol what conscience? It's a game. Remember that RL > RS. You could pay your way through school, like Duke Freedom. OT: I don't condone or promote cheating in any way, so don't do it. It's against teh rules. That's the problem, as long mentality like that exist, there will always be botters around. Sure you are making good money and stuff, but it's like breaking the rules to earn the money, and justify that its ok because its a game. Well that just kind of blurrs out the moral for many things. Then people would justified that the people that in China that used to work in gaming sweat shops are trying to earn money too to actually make a earning not trying to get better flashy gadget like teens in North America. Who knows, maybe 10 hours to them would equal a decent meal or bag of rice that last for several days. Even it sounds legitimate, its still not right down in the sense. I also hear people talking about it as well, and it seems like the less impact it has on real life, the less important it is, people just get desensitize to those kind of things because its not a big deal to everyone. I guess only time it will affect is when every server has 1.5k autoers, and all the legitimate player quits and RS have to close down its door to make it somewhat significant? I mean, it's only a game, and no one is dying over it (that was sarcasm), it just mean that some hundred of people lost their jobs to maintain the game, and players simply lose another form of entertainment (of course, this is greatly exaggerated) I always go by this rule, when you are about to do something, if that voice inside your mind that tells you its good or bad, then its probably the honest truth. Too many times people just choose to ignore it, or justify it to make it sounds ok. [/hide]Who is Duke Freedom? One of the richest and most respected merchants who got banned for RWT a few years ago . I believe he got about $20k out of his pixels to pay for school. Would've got much more if he didn't get banned. If anyone remembers r2pleasent (sp?), also one of the big merchants at the time, he's been a big player in the RWT market as well. That is roughly 3.3~ billion GP sold. There are hundreds of people who have that much if not way more. If he was a good(skilled or good at hacking) staker, he could make that in a few days. Afaik he didn't manage to sell a lot. Back then it was ~$4/M, now it's down to ~$1/M or less. Ahh ok, I was guessing 6 dollars a mill.

Check the ports on the game and see if your computer's firewall has them open/closed.

Internet speed has nothing to do with it. Internet connection does. Ping (Packet Internet Groper) tells you the time it takes for a packet of data to be sent to the server and returned. Typically Broadband and tier service has really good connections since more data can be sent over the fiber optic/coaxial lines, resulting in lower ping. Your ping issue could be that the data packet you send to the game server/receive could be passing through a bad server. There are a lot of possibilities. Do you have a wireless router? You could have a neighbor whom is stealing your bandwidth. I had that problem until I banned external user MAC addresses. Go to speedtest.net, and run the test then post your results.

They are trying to keep the game balanced between newbies and higher level players. I do admit they are catering more to the lower levels, still, if you want to always experience higher level content, go play World of Warcraft or something. And like the above poster said, do you even read the content that the quests provide? You can learn a lot about the game's history and lore if you would read and let the dialogue soak in rather then skip through it.

Oh, okay. They should advertise with a Cow instead, that'll pull in the subscriptions! Three words. Chickens.

Today I went to a family get-together with inlaws I have never met. I felt out of place.

Runescape has good ingame graphics. technically yes they are, but comparatively? most non-browser based MMO's beat them hands down. Honestly the reason I think most people care is because its change...and judging by the recent updates forum after the constitution update, change is greater then or equal to 2012. :-o Comparatively to other browser based MMO, Runescape has good ingame graphics. Comparing to non-browser based....is like me comparing the graphics of non-browser games to this: wait there's NPC's IRL? Yes. The government has specifically engineered hundreds of self-aware holograms called "celebrities". These "celebrities" act with no brains or self-control so they are therefore NPCs. but they have terrible AI... That will be changed in an expansion pack.

Welcome to the addictive and competitive nature of a mmo.

Get me a million dollar company and the coding skills and I would happily do so. Jagex is lacking. Did you even read what I said? You can't just pull new content out of your [wagon]. You have to create concepts, design graphics and sounds, do the code, debug the code, Q&A the content, fix any errors, test it in game, then release it. If Jagex wants to produce content which appeases higher levels, they need more time. If you were pressed to write a perfect 100-page essay once a week, could you do it perfectly each time? With no grammar or spelling mistakes? You obviously have no understanding of game concept, programming, and design. I think Jagex should switch to a monthly update schedule. This is for two reasons. One, they can be extra sure that each update is ready to go. Two, so players can experience the previous month's updates. I hope you aren't thinking they make the entire update in a week. They've already told us they work on updates for months and I'm sure huge ones possibly a year or more(like a skill). In fact, a recent developers blog told us they were starting on the Halloween update a few weeks ago. But I do agree with you on the part about people expecting too much out of jagex. Most people don't even take into consideration how hard it is to make an update before complaining about a small update week or no updates at all. I was trying to get to where I was implying that being forced to produce content biweekly/weekly by the players can take a toll on quality. I did not mean to sound like i was saying they only do an update in a week.

I challenge any of you to design, program, or create graphics for an update. Some of these updates are several thousand lines of coding ( Click here to see what 5 thousand lines of text actually looks like) . Each method they add has to work with the game engine. Its tedious work. Before you complain about an update or when it is released, think of the work involved and the time allotted.

Nice case. I am wanting to get the Antec 1200 after my classes are over with. Good choice. The Antec 900, 902 and 1200 are all very solid (in more ways than one) cases, but the 1200 is freaking huge. Running tri-SLI with water-cooling will require the space.

I use ultraMon. Its worth the price, so just buy it.
