Since there's thousands of members, how does the game deal with houses? The world simply isn't big enough to hold thousands of houses. I'm a free player, but may become a member soon enough, so I was just wondering how that worked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two other things, what is a "ko"? And why do people consider a scimitar to be better than a longsword? The speed is almost identical.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Oh, and what's a "pure"?

OK, I'll address your questions in order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Houses

 

 

 

You don't actually see everybody else's house unless you use a portal. There is a portal that you can enter to take you to your house or a friend's house. So that way you can have 850,000+ people all with houses that they can call their own.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

KO, to the best of my knowledge, means "knocked out." I believe it is used when a PKer gets a kill with relatively no damage to him/herself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scimitar is the traditional favorite because it can generate exp faster. The speed difference, while not dramatic, does cause a quicker accumulation of exp over a large amount of time.

In order to enter to a POH, you must go through a portal. It "teleports" you to your house, (or a friend's house if they are accepting guests and are at their house). The only thing you can see while in your POH is the building and your plot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't really know what a ko is, but I don't think it means knock out, is it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People tend to preffer the scimitar over the long mainly because of the speed, although it might not sem that much to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A pure (mainly a strength pure) is someone whose stats look like this:

 

 

 

Attack: 40

 

 

 

Strength: 60

 

 

 

Defense: 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They do this in order to be able to hit higher than other people of the same combat level. Most of them don't get prayer levels either.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps! :D

The purpose of a pure is to kill other players at a lower lvl of wilderness. It's when some1 has focused on getting 1 combat skill (such as mage) as high as possible while keeping the others (like defence for examlpe) at 1 or something.
