Well, naturally computers can have troubles running Runescape, but that has nothing to do with an internet connection and related troubles. If you have a bad connection (and it's not just general slowness from your pc) then your pc speed does not matter. Naturally it's important to have enough resources available for Runescape, especially if you want to play in HD. But, since the topicstarter is specifically talking about his internet connection, his pc speed does not come into play here.

Computer speed has NOTHING to do with an internet connection. Todays pc's are fast enough to handle incoming bandwith from the internet. Buying a faster pc is useless and nonsense. The only limiting factor could be a clogged hard drive which occasionally can slow down the loading of Runescape graphics (Jagex caches their graphics on your hdd). Spyware or other crap might slow it down, but you would have to notice it aswell when doing other stuff on the pc. Therefore it's reasonable to assume your pc is ok (and by that I mean that your hdd isn't clogged to the point that even reading the graphic files from your hdd is getting troublesome, which would mean your pc is utterly crappy), unless you haven't told us that your pc is slow in general. Faster internet speed is mostly unnecessary aswell. Todays DSL connections give enough bandwith to handle Runescape. What matters is the ping. High ping gives you lag (no, a slow computer does not give lag, it gives a low FPS, or FPS drops, that's something totally different), and thus hinders you in your every day Runescape play. A simple method is to open a command prompt and ping a few websites, including runescape.com. Proper network gear is also important. Connecting to an instable wireless network will make up for a bad connection. Distance to your local internet exchange is also an important factor. For most people it's allright, but for some people living in a remote area may find trouble getting a stable connection. Not much you can do about that, assuming you don't want to move close to an internet exchange point just because it gets you a better connection. One solution is to get a slower (yes, slower) connection from your ISP. That might give you a more stable connection, and as I said before... bandwith usually isn't the limiting factor.

I've heard some people say my 99 mining was lucky (I usually wear the cape). I mined for freaking months to achieve that level, for christs sake. Idiots. Not that it annoys me that much... There are bigger idiots that roam the runescape world.

He's talking about a 1000 hits, not a 1000 crabs.

Hitting a rock crab a 1000 times is quite a lot. Wouldn't a few hundred do just as good? You'd be getting more response from people if you make their task a little less hard. I mean... 1000 times, darn. I'm aware of statistic relevance, but this sounds a bit over the top.

I think "know" in French is "sais". They always taught me "je ne sais pas" (I don't know). Anyways, my languages. 1. Frysian. My mother language. Only spoken in parts of Holland. 2. Dutch. Mandatory in Holland :P 3. English. My English skills have developed over the years which makes me quite able to handle myself in English. 4. German. Had to learn the language in school. Never paid much attention, but since it's quite similar to Dutch, I can understand most of it and even speak it myself.. a bit. 5. French. Had to learn that language aswell. Forgot most of it, do still know some stuff about it. 6. Latin. I can't speak it, but I do know a lot of Latin words due to my study of medical biology.

You'd be better off buying bloods with the profits gained from aviansies.

That's an economical mechanism, not an explanation.

Not everyone owns a credit card. A verified Paypal account however, is available to everyone with a bank account.

Well, I lol'ed.

Stats are nothing special, bank is quite decent. 6.5/10

Rock lobs indeed. Great charms which will come in handy for summoning training.

Defininetly greater demons. Waterfiends will just be too slow at your level. Greaters drom charms fairly often and can be killed pretty quick.

3/10

I know a guy.

Quests take more "skill" than actually training a skill. Or did you think the mindless, repetitive skills such as fletching and cooking require skill? Questing might not be that hard, but some quests actually have some nasty parts. Also, quests might have a low skill requirement, but it still takes the time to complete all those quests. Not saying it's an epic cape or something, but it deserves more recognition than quite a few skills.

Still, there is nothing wrong with some confirmation ;)

Anyone that can confirm? Or like a screenshot?

Got killed there, not ever planning to return. It'd be fast though.. but not what I'm looking for.

Indeed it's boring :P I prefer monster fighting, in an effective way, and with the possibility of some profit. I must have high demands :P

I believe magic attacks are very weak against them. I'd like a more effective monster to cast upon.

Fire blast would be possible... I have plenty of fire and death runes.

I want to get lvl 99 mage as quick as possible with slayer dart. I'd like some advice on which monster to kill. I've considered iron dragons but I reckon they're quite slow, and there must be better monsters out there (which are profitable aswell). Any ideas?

Or just take the direct link and put around it. It ain't rocket science. simple as that.

How so? If they weren't, they would just be watching T.V or eating or playing another video game. Yeah you can say people who play RS "waste the best time of their life" while you go and play Call of Duty. :roll: Same exact thing. Oh right. It's funny, because I recall school work, football, time spent with friends, and time spent with my girlfriend have a lot more time value than some online game that won't matter. You do realize I said that because I played Runescape during a lot of my middle school years. You know what Runescape did for me? Absolutely nothing. I didn't have fun playing it, I was just addicted and I couldn't help but get on everyday and do absolutely nothing. I'm not wasting my time in high school with some [cabbage] [wagon] game, whether it be Call of Duty or Runescape. Oh and a [bleep] cookie? A damn cookie? Get some new damn material. Well, that's simply your own failure.
