I'm not an "O.G." by any means, but I'm as old school as it comes for RS2. I started during the beta. I don't use many new ways to train, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
now what was your join date on the ORIGINAL scape forums? thats what i though ;)
-
Uh, I trained from 1-72 runecrafting before the abyss came out, when you had to sell noted essence to the shop...but that's really it. Yeah, I trained cooking and fletching before make-x, but that's not really significant.
I don't really consider myself old school, even though I've been playing the game for nearly 6 years now.
Yep i rememeber...shop north of nature altar...selling noted ess to shop keeping and buying it back
or you could..go from Al Kharid....take the flight to Kara....crossing the log...if you fell..you took damage + extra walking...then Dueling ring back to Al Kharid (nature runes that is)

It was taking ages to train a skill and you feel so special when you get Lv99, now days everyone having Lv99 easily, so not special anymore.
I got most my 99 levels before jagex adds free-exp/make x to the game, i clicked every fish and used on range/smelted every steel bar one by one..
first they made it easier to train by [make x] option,
then having exp-boost,
now giving free-exp,
next getting free-levels.
BUT THE GAME IS STILL FUN.... specially when you train your new account(s). too easy to beat your main account :P
yea that's what i was talking about
also i do agree about new accounts...since ive been back ive made a f2p only account that ive been messing around on
within about 3 weeks of casual play (maybe 2 hours a day if that)...i got him to 60 combat...74 fishing 60 mining 60ish cooking...also from lvl 48-62 in fishing...i was walking from Kara to Draynor to bank my lobs before i realized they added a guy on Kara to "note" your fish :\
and he has about 6mil in ores/fish

"Old school" now a day is taken very loosely...people that have been playing for 3-5 years think they are "old school", which is fine
but when the term was first thrown around...it wasn't a term used to measure the amount of time you played the game..it was used to describe someone who played from the start
Do i consider myself a TRUE old schooler? no. Do i consider myself old school by the standards of today? yes
Here are some of the older pics i have (most of my RSC pics have been long gone from multiple formats throughout the years)
[hide]
^stats at the end of rsc and the transition to rs2 in 2004 (Legends quest was the only quest i couldn't complete...i ended up getting it when rs2 came out and you could eat in combat)
^found this kinda cool..shows the ranks and skill lvl from 2004
^oldest world screen select page i have (2004)
^this is one kinda cool. It is my very first runescape account. Back in early RSC, if you were caught cheating/macroing you wouldn't be banned...you would get stat swiped, leaving your quests completed (i guess it stopped people from doing this on purpose to benefit from doing a certain quest over and over?) Back in early RSC...you couldn't see the players combat level in game. So you would get lvl 10s saying they are level 90+. Well there was a program that was used for macroing that would also show the players combat level in game...i could never figure out how to run a script...so i just ran around freaking people out by "acting" like i could guess their combat level. Ended up getting stat swiped.[/hide]
Now onto the topic:
I cant really get upset by the fact that it is 100x easier to lvl a skill with the "make X" option...since i never lvled a skill to 99 before the addition to the game...but i am jealous that after getting 87 fletching by clicking knife-log-knife-log then unstrung bow-bowstring-unstrung bow-bowstring and so on...but like i said..i was only lvl 87 and people who did 2X the amount of XP than i did...had A LOT more work cut out for them
Also fishing makes me jealous. lvling in RSC required you to click each attempt (if you missed a fish, it would continue fishing til you received one...if i remember correctly) then you would have to cert them...then take them to Draynor and uncert them
but i do understand Jagex reasoning for adding the "easy mode button" into the game...it keeps people playing longer and makes it easier for people to start the game..and catch on faster. In some cases though, made people leave because of the fact that the feeling of getting an achievement in a certain skill required you to hit lvl 99 instead of something along the line of hitting lvl 70 crafting in rsc [and even early rs2] and be able to FINALLY craft Diamond Ammies.

What I'd find very interesting what be a "new Runescape"
Basically - exact same world/updates etc. as now. BUT - You can use your current account, but don't have those stats.. EVERYONE starts from scratch.
It'd be like how RSC is to RS2, just another version of RS2. There'd still be RS2 and i doubt too many people would play this version - but just a few servers (Make it members only maybe?). I think it'd be very interesting to play Runescape as it is today - but without all the millions of supplies already in the market. With the GE it'd be quite limiting - but that could be worked around.
If Jagex ever did such a thing - what anyone be interesed? Or only me?
I love the idea! i would probably leave World of Warcraft and go back to Runescape :D
thats something cool about WoW...when they release a new realm...you cant transfer your lvl 70s over to it...if you wanna play realm...you have to start from scratch

Anyone have a char on Cairne? i just started playing the game last week..im a lvl 20 human rogue, i already made a guild with a tabard and 2 bank tabs (bought myself :\)

/Cairne /Aliaric /A

honestly i just dont feel like updating the list anymore..i have left this game for another...i only stop by to check on summoning...i guess i can put the list back up...but it will no longer be updated
edit: ive seem to have lost the list...i might be on my old comp...but it doesn't have internet access right now...
-

white chocolate

with this setup i can get 5-8 kills solo per trip (97 range / 60 def)
with a team of 3 (2 ranged - 1 melee) we can get anywhere from 12-18 kills
-rangers wear my setup if under 70def (you want the most mage def + a decent range attack)
-melee wears best mage def while wielding a whip/dds or drag mace
my strategy is to put a ranger and melee up close and on opposite sides, then 1 ranger back...after the kill we distribute everyones food evenly to keep us going longer...see my figure above
-also i found it useful when the ranger that stands away gets low on food...switch rangers spots
run up close and protect melee...giving less chances of being hit by mage(fire/ice/posion) attacks
like stated above...when frozen...use time to heal or pot up
i normally just walk from edge or sometimes use portals

As someone mentioned before, why try and think of ways that RWT'ers could trade? Jagex spent a TON of time figuring out every possible way, and they've stopped it all. Sure, there are still ways, but they are way to complicated for any RWT to make decent money out of.
its the fact that jagex ruined many aspects of the game in attempt to stop RWT yet they failed. BH can be easily exploited....its not even a month after the update and i can find a BH world that is completely empty.
Many trades involving GP trades, used a middleman who worked for free (if not a very small fee for larger trades)...whose to think this wont happen at BH ... "middlemen" would become "protectors"
Just angers me to know jagex is willing to take out some of the best aspects of the game to "try" and stop RWT
3K trade limit? come on now...
-
you need a team to do halfway decent in the game
its a bunch of 1 itemings DDSers running around in teams

'There are currently 154392 people playing!'
and its 12:15 here....AFTER the update

back when r2hs were rare...i pked one (when tbey were worth 1.6mil each)...and i let a friend "borrow" it...and ihe logged and i never seen him since.....
back then an r2h was as rare as a drag full helm or a godsword

wow what has tip.it come to?
i dont like merchanting...but this actually sounds fun
god forbid we actually interact with other players in a MMO game
some of us actually play the game for FUN...i dont find sitting at a tree for 4 hours fun...even if the result is some "banked xp"
i play this game for the challenge...the only challenge i see in skilling is being able to stay awake and do the same task over and over for hours upon hours
hes trying to throw some spice into the game FOR FUN, and yet all you guys do is comment in a negative manner
grow up :\

honestly rune dags wont sell at all
+24 str is nothing
+44 for scimmy and it hits alot more than a dag (slash attack bonus) but its slightly hindered by its speed...and Jagex actually states that they are the same speed...but to my recollection...dags are still slightly faster
...also its not like rune dags have a special
you might be able to sell for 5-6k EA but its hardly worth the time and effort

Here are some pics of my first 3 recorded trips...only info i didn't get was the time it took per trip....would have helped determine the gp/xp per hour rates:
these trips were recorded with the same setup:
-96 range
-20 (4) prayer pots
-4 range pots
-50 nats/500 fires
-1 cammy tele
Equipment stats:
+91 range attack / +26 prayer bonus
-
to the person above me, you will want a accumulator to collect all your bone bolts. Also, why the cammy teletabs and the sharks?
Actually an accumulator isn't 100% needed as bone bolts are so cheap, infact if you have a trimmed skillcape i'd recomend taking that over the accumulator.
I'm assuming the cammy tabs are for when he wants to tele out of the dungeon and the sharks are there "just incase" as it is a first aviansie trip.
i dont use a accumulator because i dont pick up my bolts (only use 3Kish per trip...meaning only a 12K gp loss ;))
also cammy teles is for when im ready to go (i clicked 10 instead of just 1 on accident)....and the sharks are for when im semi afking and i need an emergancy heal...actualy happened quite a bit in the few trips i had done
also i really need to get a holy wrench...seems that with 20 prayer pots i should have got more than 360 bars with 96 range + range pot and 49 prayer....but i cant stand farming and prolly wont get around to getting lvl 40 farm
