Vroqren Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Because I'm not independently wealthy, I don't have a computer that can run the stupid new Java required to play, and the dumb client they suggested we use doesn't even work! It's been on the RSOF for a day now, tell the mods "Hey - believe it or not, we want to play, and get cool bonus's too!", but the mods either don't see it, or don't even care.

Amonitas Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 If you can't rune the "new" Java version then you either have Windows95 or just suck. Sorry. Quest cape since 11th July 99 Farming 4th February 99 Cooking 31st August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vroqren Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Or I've got an old PowerPC Mac, and can't afford a better one at the moment. This is Jagex telling me - "because you're a bit poor for now, you can't play our game." I'm paying for membership - and now they want me to buy a new computer just so that I can continue playing?

Boris5000 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Can't afford a $100 laptop with Windows XP? I am surprised you were able to run runescape efficiently enough on your "old PowerPC" Luck be a Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essiw Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Can't afford a $100 laptop with Windows XP? I am surprised you were able to run runescape efficiently enough on your "old PowerPC"Giving him the advise to buy a crappy windows computer just for runescape is strange, (by crappy I mean that it only did cost $100, you can't expect much from that, and I think it would just as quick or maybe even slower as his PowerPC).The real problem is apple not updating their old systems with java and jagex not making the client work for people with OS Leopard (Serious Leopard is not as old as you think it is, it is from 2007 that is as old as vista is.).So you are saying he should buy a computer with an OS from 2001 on it to replace his computer with an OS from 2007? And if you don't like windows you wouldn't want that. http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum. Thanks!

The_Gabe Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It's not Jagex's fault. Technology is always advancing, and so are software and hardware capabilities and competition. Jagex has to keep up, and if you live in the past, from whichever circumstance, then it's your fault, and not theirs. And by that I mean that they need to cater to the many, and not 1/1million who still uses windows 95 and such. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You can buy a decent laptop for $300. I'm poor, too (lol retail job + college student), but I view computers as necessities, so I bought one ($300 Samsung). To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

essiw Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I don't see how that's Jagex's fault though :/It is half their fault for a not working client on older systems then Lion and snow leopard ;) While it does work on things like windows xp which is really old.But yeah it is mostly the fault of apple for discontinuing java for older systems. (Though I would like to say that apple also discontinued older java versions for Lion, and Runescape doesn't support the newest java versions) @Crossed Body, I think that is very slow on that computer of his, and he would have to buy windows xp of cores ;) http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

Merre Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I don't understand what your point is. Why complain here that you aren't wealthy enough (at the moment) to buy a new pc.I crashed my graphics card a few weeks back and had to install the 3D card from my old pc, a geforce 7 series. Now I play very laggy and can't even play full screen.Monday or tuesday my new card arrives. Should I blame Jagex too, my game ain't running smoothly? Seriously people should complain less and enjoy life a bit more... 2016 goals: all skills +30mil xp - Completed this goal 11th December 2016 2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It's hardly Jagex's fault that Apple has chosen not to release updates for older versions of their OS. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
