Capone_Sabre Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Oh I forgot one of the biggest of all - item banking! That completely revolutionised RuneScape. Before you could only store cash in there, so if you mined some ores you had to immediately smelt, smith and sell the product, or store the ores on mules. Capone Sabre since April 2001.99 Attack, Defence, Strength and Hitpoints Achieved January 2005. When it still meant something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said it was only aloud to bank coins, Jagex updated it on May 2001, to let you store everything else :D 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udontnojak55 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 ok theres been alot of talk over night about how every update changes RuneScape forever. I'm not going to disagree with you, but in the main post I said I wanted to include the ones that had the Biggest Impact on the game. As for those who say I haven't been playing long enough to make this thread, you're entitled to your own opinion I suppose. Finally, how yesterday's updates didn't change "runescape forever", I think that they did. Every update has an impact on someone, but yesterdays was especially true for the people who enjoy PvP. Like all of you I am also entitled to my own opinion.

Dexek Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I believe the HD graphical update was a rather big thing. It makes Runescape look like a high quality game in comparison to it's previous graphics.

Dexek Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Remember, remember, the fifth of November. The gunpowder treason and plot... oh wait... I also feel that the censor update was pretty big. It was quite annoying to be censored for words like phone, to school, sucks..

Lunar_Drifter Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yea but the censor was a relief in a way; walking around Varrock, especially past the Shield of Arrav gang hideouts in the south, I was offered to cyber so many times by people.

Danqazmlp Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'd definately say that the change to crossbows changed rs alot. They completely changed the way ranged works. The introduction of barrows was another one, along with godwars, that changed combat for ever. Want to be my friend?

Range_This11 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The introduction of the Grand Exchange easily changed Runescape the most out of any update. Removed a lot of player interaction.

I think the week before I had bought about 20,000 ess and then it all got changed to Pure and Regular. Made a lot of money off a lucky buy.

muhahaha Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 while not necessarily an update.. the phat duping (Nov 2003) probably have just as much of an impact as any update in there.

Dullmage Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Wasn't the removal of pking in wildy/trade limits introduced at around the same time? It was 12/2007, not 12/2006 if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demby123 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 12/2006- Removal of PKing in the Wilderness wasn't that 2007? I traveled to the wilderness for the first time around then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
