Olbritishchap Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 well if its to stop scammers, just do it for names. why make everything look horrible when only partial horridness is needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unoalexi Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 This rant is utterly pointless... -.- I mean, really who cares? Your input is utterly pointless... -.- I mean, really who cares? On topic; This update is long over-due. Many players have fallen subject to scams and been unable to report them because their name consists of both O's and 0's ...Sorry for expressing my opinion :roll: This Forum is to post constructive rants, replied to with constructive criticism. That post was not constructive, nor helpful. You seem to be making use of the Copy/Paste function, as you've posted the same the same thing on about 4 different posts. Umm.. just because I like to type the word utterly doesn't mean I copied and pasted my posts... I type them out thank you very much. I thought this forum was 'to vent your in-game frustrations' not to post 'constructive' rants.. Besides I didn't even make this topic! FYI, highlanders post really wasn't much better than mine... I don't see why your not criticizing him.. EDIT: I searched all my post and NOWHERE have I said the exact same thing. So i have no idea what you talking about -.- Here be dragons ^ Dragon of the Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayc3399 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 First of all to everyone who says it is for scammers, the name update was LONG ago, this is just for items and stats. They are 2 totally different things. Honestly, I don't think it was needed, and it looks weird for now, but in a week or two it will just seem like another rs thing.

Outsanity Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 dude... its better now now you can look up stakers with 00o00o0o0o names ..dont complain..thats probly why it happend They changed the zeros in people's names MONTHS ago. THIS update was not necessary. Will it kill us? No. Will we get used to it? Yes. Does that mean it was something that needed to be released? NO. Honestly...if someone can't tell the difference between a 0 and a O, then they are visually impaired. Jagex had no reason to change anything. That's what annoys some of us. Not the fact that it looks bad. It was just a useless update. That's all. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Str4lif3 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Tbh it stops confusion: O with an 0 So true, before the update, i was hiting a 0 but I was wondering.. Is this o or a 0 ? I was looking at my stats and i was confused. "I have 9o attack? or 90..!? Thanks jagex for this update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian5kamikaze Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 i didnt notice i dont hit 0s You can hit above 9 cant you? :roll: 79 attack isnt going to keep you from ever hitting a 0.

unkn0wnwarrior Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm not a fan of the new ones, but I'm not going to rant about it... You know why? Because it makes no difference. It does not, in any way, shape or form hurt my ability to play, nor my gaming experience. All it does is give us a new 0... Besides, like people have been saying, give me a week (or more likely, a day) and I'll be used to them, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Come back to this thread in 2 weeks and if you are still that annoyed at the 0's, quit. I don't like how my face looks, I should quit life shouldn't I? You can disagree with something, and not have to quit over it. --- They are really annoying, just like the orange text Jagex did some time ago, hopefully thisi s just a mistake on their part. :-# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umega Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I understand why they did it with the stacked items, but there really was no point to putting them in the skills page. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 You're complaining about how the zero looks? I mean, I can justify complaining about in-game content if it destroyed/undermined another update or training method, but complaining about zeros? The hell kind of complaint is that? It honestly does more good than harm, if you ask me. Besides, it made sense; they updated the zeros in the usernames a while back, so why not on other numerical values? Just be glad you weren't brought up with a Linux machine in the house; you'd have gone INSANE with the way those zeros were drawn.

Nabbagad Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 To start, the zeros changed in people's names a long time ago so this update had nothing to do with scammer's names. I do think the new zeros look bad in the skill page and quite honestly, it was pointless. But I'm sure we'll all get use to it in the next few weeks.

Ezz Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Seriously, this is the dumbest change in all of RS to rant about, I've seen a lot of threads on the RSOF about this -.- Just GET OVER IT, you will get USED to it in 2 days! Sure, maybe there was no reason, but this will look better really. Because players' names have had it in them for a long time now, but not the game. Just looked weird that there was two types of zeroes in the game. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 if it's such a small issue, why did jagex feel the need to change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drow4 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Looks fine to me, but I sense Jagex has just caused what the are trying to avoid... Anyone else think that this may give birth to a new scam - switching an 8 for a 0 in the trade screen...I'am sure that Jagex changed this for the more "stupid" players, but in the end it will be the "stupid" players that loose out. The irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Looks a bit messy, but I doubt they'll undo this one, unlike the orange skill page. "In the beginning, the universe was created.

So what if the zero has a slash in it, so what! This isn' t the first litlle update. And so what if they looked the same for 5 years, the goblins looked the same for atleast 4 years, they changed them too. Why don' t you rant about that too?

Warrager Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yeah, like most reasonable posters have already said, this has had little thought, and is a pointless rant. Jagex made one, not so useful update, big deal. It's not as big as the update for gettting the fire cape, where people must have been really pissed. I mean, they changed some 0s, so that's the reason people get all fussy? You must be a loser in real life, to get this upset about some 0s...
