Nah, we make our own races, as in try to achieve a goal (which is usually something a bit more complex than get from A to B) before the others do it. It can include slaying a monster, getting levels (notably 99), doing a quest and so on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

i still wanna race sailboats. ;)

 

I want to race and fight pirates in sailboats at the same time. ;)

 

 

 

Regardless whether that was a joke or not, this is actually one of the biggest games Jagex is making for Funorb.

I remember when the Oo'glog "infinite" energy pool came out, and a friend and I decided to race from all around Gielnor over to Varrock Centre Fountains from Oo'glog. It was quite fun because we kept running into each other at the oddest of places, and it was quite a heated competition.

 

 

 

Now bear in mind that the previous example was only with two people. Imagine how much fun it would be with a whole clanchat, if it were able to be organized enough? ::'

SAILING

 

 

 

Ahem, sorry.

 

This looks like a really good update. Lots of room for expansion, might actually make me interested in clans.

The first four paragraphs were extremely confusing as to exactly WHAT in gods name they were talking about. The dice example cleared it up straight away though.

 

 

 

Odd update, but a good one.

By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

Hoping for more than just six-sided dice... d4s, d8s, d10s, d12s, and d20s would be a whole lot more interesting.... Please Jagex?

 

 

 

It could start a clan revolution of people who otherwise wouldn't have a reason (or an ability (levels)) to get into a clan. (including me, and it would get me to play more, probably)

It sounds like a great idea that could really ad a lot to the game for players to choose from.

 

 

 

The only thing is your going to get a lot of whiners about it not being a normal, skill, quest, or minigame update.

 

 

 

I can't wait to see the possibilities!

Damn, haven't seen a mention of Sailing in a topic for months...

 

 

 

This update sounds like it has a ton of potential. I can't wait to see what they have planned.

Horses at last maybe? :P

It looks like a nice update for fansites and clans, but how this will have any use to the average scaper other than a bit of amusement is beyond me. I doubt these things will have practical use, but hey, they sound quite fun.

tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:
But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.
That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.

Apparently a lot of people say it. I own.

 

http://linkagg.com/ Not my site, but a simple, budding site that links often unheard-of websites that are amazing for usefulness and fun.

Ha, nice to see this DD finally come out. Can't wait to see what they create for our enjoyment. Already submitted my ideas. ;)

A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind.

What, really? Cool.

 

 

 

Here's my wishlist for this update:

 

 

 

Dice with variable numbers of sides.

 

Pack of cards, and the ability to arrange them on a table. Come to think of it, the Burthorpe games rooms would be perfect for this.

 

Stopwatch with variable conditions for stopping, including XP, location, slaying a monster, obtaining an item, a combination etc.

 

Coin toss, using an actual gp.

 

Some kind of chip system using coins, with variable rules, within the trade limit.

 

A vote tally with variable rules.

 

A system of remembering set rules, and a way to transfer them to other players.
