Whatever happened to the "Press 989 to buy raw lobby certs!" That everyone did on Runescape classic? Why has everyone stopped using it? Now it's just a boring "Buying raw lobs"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't even remember why/how the "press xxx" thing came about, I'm pretty sure that the person who was trading with you appeared in the chat box like it does on RS2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any other things that you can remember being the "must do" things in RSC but died out for no reason with the launch of Runescape 2?

i remember that...a long time ago. Maybe its because most trading goes on in world 2 and tooo many items are for sale in such a small place that it would be impossible to do!

cuz people found out it's easier to state your name and have the person trade you than for you to say a # and have the person have to look for who said it, I suppose.

i always used to, and still do it when im in a less crowded bank. the problem is when you're on world 2 fally you'd get like 9 people shouting 999 and you wouldn't know who'd said it and it would be so confusing

true true true... + people always think its funnyto say it then u trade em and they decline and go "roifl!!"

I still see people do it, especially f2pers.

 

 

 

Most people don't do it, because it's quicker and there's really no point in saying it if your not in a crowded area. Even though I rarely see it in world 2.

you couldnt stand on other persons their spots (well if you didnt knew how to do it anyways) and in rs2 you can stand on other persons their spot so that why they state their name rather then the numbers ( i did always used 555 ;) )

Okay what, correct me if I'm wrong, since I couldn't really understand what you were saying the first time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you saying that you couldn't stand on TOP of each other in RSC? If so, then what a load of tosh.

You could, but you had to click a square past the person you want to stand on, then quickly press the square they're standing on. ;)

in rsc, if u click another players square u just turn towards them.... to stand on someone else, you had to click ahead of them, then when you are "inside" them, click the square below them to stop on them.

Because now you can spam, Buying X for X ( your name),people can trade you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just set your chat to Hide or Friends mode and you can see whois trading you instead of the sea of text (but sometimes with many mods talking its also irritating)

I have seen that plenty of times and still do that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It just gets more no where usually. :wall:

I think the hide chat option has changed the "press 555" phase. Now a seller/buyer states what he wants, then his name afterwards, and waits for the trade..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Much easier ^_^

i even saw that before i played runescape on this online go fish game i played (press 111 to play a 4 person game...stuff like that). It just died because it was hard to find the person that pressed the number. I also remember when world 29 was the second biggest f2p trading world, but people got lazy to click when the new world select screen came out, so it changed to 3 and 4.

that was when you could turn off chat and all the text will still be there, letting you find the people

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

doesn't work anymore, now :/

you cant see whoes saying 999 if they arte all at 1 spot...

Ah yes, forgot all about the clicking one square ahead. Made taking pictures so much easier.

yeah i remember that, I never did it, but I saw it everywhere

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"press 333 to buy knife 1k!!!!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

=P

Quoted for Truth.

Now most people trade through the forums, either official or the likes of tip.it

 

 

 

Also people still do that in the crowded areas like varrock or falador, because its so hard to catch a trade message or name in chat there, but theres so much more people now on rs2 and the words above your head dont stay that long, and even if you do catch it you have about 10 people that could have said it, thats its just as useless.

They didn't have autotalkers in RSC 8-)

I sometimes still do that in a less crowded space, but in world 2 goodluck

I used to say "Buying xxx press xxx"

you couldnt stand on other persons their spots (well if you didnt knew how to do it anyways) and in rs2 you can stand on other persons their spot so that why they state their name rather then the numbers ( i did always used 555 ;) )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Completely forgot about that and that's probably the best reason for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But to the other part of this topic, what other things on RSC randomly died out in RS2? I'm sure there's plenty of stuff I just can't think of it.

Yes they did.
