September 5, 200817 yr I think they've given up shortening names of items. Lots of really long names have been added recently, such as 'Helm of Neitiznot (charged)' - 27 characters, counting the spaces, while 'Dragon Dagger(p++)' would only have 18. What? Charged Helm of Nowai is still more recent than DDS.
February 13, 200917 yr Maybe that extra "+" sign will go over a character limit in the item names, so it had to be shortened?
February 13, 200917 yr I agree. Super Antipoison and Antipoison (++) are a good example too - which one sounds better? The Runar's (OSRS) DIY blog - most viewed Blogscape blog ever! Contract? /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
February 14, 200917 yr I agree with Seogege on the flatpacks. They can be a pain. I don't think you can buy what I want, but I have searched before to see. Kind of like they mentioned. Mahogany in a search still should bring up any mahogany item or mahogany flatpack item regardless if Jagex wants to call it Lemons on the G.E. Edit: Do a search on the G.E. database for "bar" and see what it brings up. It will bring up things like drinks. Now I can see why it would bring these up, I would probably do a different search for drinks if I were looking for drinks. Just makes sense that the actual G.E. where we go to trade should be a little more intelligent. I really don't see how that can be argued. I mean sure, a lot of us have figured to put drag in instead of dragon. Doesn't mean that the search can't be made a little smarter. You people kill me.
February 14, 200917 yr Well, everyone has their own abbreviations, although some were unjustly changed. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some?
February 15, 200917 yr My guess is that they don't have room to put Dragon but they have room to put Drag. Yeah, thats what i think too
February 18, 200917 yr The problem is that the GE search only does a substring search; that is, it checks whether what you've typed in is part of an item name or not. Ideally, it would check for misspelled words too (ie, "dager" would return "dagger"). Also, I thought I read in one of Mod MMG's posts that spelling of items and item names were going to be one of the things looked at for updating with consistancy. I'm 100% free-to-play!!!
