So, as you all know me, I am Atom_Smash40, (aka MiningIsDead). I started playing RS in March of 05 (yes, I have the illustrious Rubber chicken), and I gained membership about a year later. I took a hiatus from summer of 07 to fall of 08 due to me losing 50M worth of gear stupidly at Tzhaar (including an 11M Guthan's set and 5.5M Dharok set and 2M Ahrim set, and some other valuable stuff). When I came back, i started to make all that money back, and I soon found that you could now own capes for each skill provided you had 99 in said skill. I thought, which skill do I love the most? It was a tie between Runecrafting and Mining. I saw that the benefits of Runecrafting heavily outweighed the ones of Mining, but I went with Mining because I remember that I had trained that skill the most when I was F2P, and I was a big fan of Seer coal trucks before I took that year long break. So I started to get 99 Mining. Took about a year, a little less, from 70-99, and I mainly did granite (I also did gold at the Between A Rock mine from 80-84 and a mix of addy and mith in the desert mining camp 84-85). During the summer of 09, I was so obsessed with achieveing 99 Mining that I even scheduled each week day to mine for at least 4 hours with as little time for breaks as possible. Can't say I was proud of it, but it worked, and I got 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009. Not long after, I decided to trim my cape with another skill I enjoyed in the past. Crafting. I mainly did Air battlestaves, but that was slow and though I profited, I realized I did not have time to get 99 Crafting before my membership ran out. Now, I would've renewed, but I got an XBOX360 during that summer that I achieved 99 Mining, so that was taking up most of my time, and I started to play RuneScape less and less. Eventually, I made my way to 85 Crafting and 89 Magic during the time I did play, and I stopped there, seeing as they were pretty decent levels, and that I could not afford the faster way to 99 Crafting nor did I wish to extend my membership to allow for more time to craft those battlestaves. So I decided that enough was enough, and I was going to leave the P2P version of RuneScape forever. 99 Mining was my real goal, the other ones were really just something to keep me occupied, and after I got 99 Mining, I found less enjoyment in this game (most of that is also due to the Living Rock Caverns reducing the skill I once loved to one of the easiest 99s to obtain. People say "A cape is a cape," and while that may be true, this also applies: "It's not the destination that matters, but the journey." Another major factor was seeing my Santa go from 14M to 118M, and all that money I could've had due to douche bag hoarders and the broken GE). I do intend on slowly achieveing 99 Cooking while in F2P, though I won't kill myself over it. It's only for sentimental purposes as I do enjoy cooking in real life. It has been a pleasure being apart of the Tip.It community, the best community in RuneScape hands down, and though I don't see eye to eye with many of you, it's good to know that I could rely on you to aid me whether it be a quest or treasure trail or buying something off the GE that I already reached the limit in or whatever else. Thank you all for the good times and free chats when I was rotting my brain 5 of 7 days during the summer weeks. It's been a real pleasure!

I'd like to thank these members from the Tip.It community that helped make my RuneScape experience memorable:

 

Lady Shahdie - the girl who loves to mine iron, something I could never have done for 99 Mining

NightShade - you let me in a great clan, and I had fun times there (aside from one fiasco), and I wish that the clan was a better match for me so that I could've stayed longer

Everyone who posted on my 99 Mining/Crafting Blog - you kept me going when I was feeling burnt out

 

(no hate please, especially if you don't have anything constructive to say, namely calling me a b0tl0l0l0l0l0l0l. Your post will be reported if you do.)

so thats why bull dog stopped logging on...

 

nice 99 mining. sad to see you leave. enjoy life.

4/10. Your stats lack and so does your bank. 99 Mining is nice I plan on getting it maxed before I give up on this game.

Sorry once again if you feel like I was ranting at you on my thread wasn't my intention.

 

Anyway, well done on getting 99 Mining with Granite, I understand why you hate LRC so much it must be so frustrating to see how Mining is nowadays. I shouldn't be talking really considering I am there at the moment but if it's there I may as well use it. :P

 

Best of luck with everything you do in the future.

thanks for the honest rate. I know my stats are lackluster, but most of my time was devoted to mining. i only wish i couldve achieved at least 1700 total before i left. i guess i didnt.

good luck on 99 mining to you too, though you might not need it anymore. i saw you were close, keep going!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :sad:

 

Sad to see you go, brother. Reading about your journey to 99 Mining was an inspiration while I was (and still am) going for mine. I'll miss ya.

you can do it! you're following more in Shahdie's footsteps than mine, and that path is more rigorous than mine. I'll check you blog once you've achieved 99 mining!

Our posts will be reported if we say you're a bot? What kind of nazi regime is this? This is rate this, a subjective opinionated forum. If we think you botted, we can say so without fear of repercussion. Now I don't mean flaming is ok, but simply posting your opinion is allowed.

 

Anyways. I don't think you botted, I just knew that needed to be said.

 

 

5\10.

 

The 99 Mining is the only nice thing on the account, however due to the fact that you belittle everyone on the forum who doesn't get 99 Mining at Granite surely shows your true colors.

You are a bot. :thumbsup:

You are a bot. :thumbsup:

 

^Bots.

Surprised I wasn't on the thank you list considering I have been your best friend for the past 2 or so years.

 

Bye and goodluck IRL.

Bad bank, average stats and a meagre quest list: 6/10 overall.

 

Your story shows the other side of Atom Smash. I think you gave yourself a bad name over here by starting out with the mining comments.

A shame it had to be this way, glad to see you've had a good time over here though. Good luck doing whatever you're going to do.

 

10/10 cause it's 99 mining.

Was nice knowing you the past however long it's been. :)

Good luck IRL sir.

7/10

Congratulations on 99 mining!
