No thank you. I am not building the game for awhile, I am just building the backbone/framework/base/engine for a tile-based game.

It will be sold in Farq's shop for both f2p and p2p.

The ping says 65-85 normally for each pvp world and around 50 for non-pvp world.

Every non-pvp server I visit never lags. Hell, even the high traffic market servers like World 2 rarely lag if not lag at all. Don;t they keep all of the servers in the UK? Wouldn't it be feasible to rent some in the United States?

Ok you might be right. So where is the lag coming from? Is it their ISP?

I know the difference between a home server and public server. I own several blade, standalone, and rack mount servers. Even if each serve had dual quad-core processors and 8GB of ram, if the ISP they use has horrible service for international connections, the server won;t do much good. Here is the source for the dell server statement: ( it states 200 servers, but he means worlds.) http://takeyourownpath.co.uk/trailblazers/mark-gerhard-jagex-game-studio.aspx and here is a video and at around 7:15 is when he states they use 25 servers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfg73DE7iv0

So there are currently 175 or so worlds. Jagex runs all of these on 25 commercial servers(this was stated by CEO Mark Gerhard at JavaOne), specifically all dells. This is equal to 7 worlds per server. Don;t get me wrong, that is an amazing feat, but is it too much? Thanks to the load on the servers from all of the worlds, some of the worlds, specifically player-vs-Player, are very laggy. I know this is not my connection, I have a 100 ms latency max and 6MB download and 3MB upload speed. Is it too much to ask them to put high traffic worlds on single servers? I wouldn't mind paying an extra couple of dollars per-month. This is really irritating me.

Will do.

[spoiler=Visual Basic] Used for: Desktop applications and libraries Been around since: Late 1980's Pros: Easy to learn for beginners Can quickly make applications Cons: Not the best language for cross-platform applications Not commonly used anymore like Java or C++ Alternatives: If you are a person who wants to program for a living, do yourself a favor and learn something besides visual basic. If you are a hobbyist programmer, then this will be alright for you. SwiftKit is made with visual basic. (all of this is from memory so sorry if I make a mistake) A basic function Function addNumbers(byval num1 as integer, byval num2 as integer) Dim result as integer result = num1+num2 return result End Function [hide=A basic visual basic coding tut] Variables: Variables are usually created in this format: Dim (variable name) as (variable type) Although you can use Private,public, Const, and static in some declarations. For example: Dim strData as string Dim intAppleCount as integer Static count Const PRICE as string = 40 When declaring strings, you must wrap the string in quotations. Instead of declaring three variables such as: Dim intA as integer Dim intB as integer Dim intC as integer You can do Dim intA, intB, intC as integer Loops: There are two types of loops: The first type is Do- While. dim intX as integer = 10 Static count Do While count < intX count += 1 loop The next type of loop is a For-Next loop. For i as integer = 1 to 10 debug.writeline(i) next Strings Lets look at the following sentence: "The cat in the hat has 9 pizzas" lets say we want to replace that 9 with "nine". All we would have to do is: Dim strSaying as string = "The cat in the hat has 9 pizzas" strSaying.replace(9,"nine") That should replace the number 9 with "nine" [/hide] I have to move some stuff in real life so I will finsih this later.

I an working on a note taking application. I am going to take a break from that and do some core features of a game I want to do later on.

and when those whom have a subscriber and fan base are most likely to dominate. I think I will advertise the Fally general store pot.

I would love to play RuneScape in a local application. There would be some significant performance gains.

:thumbup:

anyone starting to think this tank stuff is actually a hint at something :wall: Tanks are shipped via boats. Boats go in the water. You know what this means? Polymorphism is the new skill! Is he still answering questions?

"one idea is possibly allowing the the chat filter to be turned on/off for older players" :thumbup:

Here is my monitor setup for RS: JK :) I have a very handy Logitech G15 keyboard. I found a wrapper for .net to create applications for the LCD, so I managed to build me up a High score and Grand Exchange look up tool for it.

You could sneak it in without an announcement and see how those who see it handle it.

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0. It is worth the $90.00 investment.

Jeans give me unpleasant feelings in certain areas of which I will not mention.

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. My girlfriend and I went to a spa and it was pretty neat. I wasn't the only guy there. I think I was one of maybe two heterosexual guys though.

RayWilliamJohnson is one of my favorite vloggers!

I started with plain text when setting everything up, I plan on eventually switching over to XML. I will also have an auto-save feature which will save notes every 5 minutes. I am also thinking about writing a backup of the notes to my web site so if my computer ever fails, is lost, or gets stolen, I have backups. Thanks for the feedback so far! I am still working out the color system.

I chose Java because it is cross-platform and I like the feel of it. I have used C# and VB.net and I get the most pleasure from Java.

Do we really need someone to come and troll the hell out of speculative discussion? She has a point, you don't.
