That's a big wall of text I don't feel like reading...

I used to own a hotel at the Blue Moon Inn back in runescape classic. also i owned a bakery at the cook's guild. sold rooms and room service for a few gp. also i sold bread at the cook's guild for some gps. lol good times...

Only 1 thing to do now... Quit runescape forever

What's up? Haven't played runescape or been on for over 4 years. I'm going to try and get back at it. Got banned on my main so I quit. Decided to try and become a profitable flipper and make some money.

Wow.. I have a lot to say about this. I've played since 2002. Back then, I was not that old, I didn't know about the halloween events and christmas events, so I did not receive any of the special gifts that were given out. But why does it matter now?, since I can just go buy an account for $60, right? Wrong. This game used to be so great. That is until stupid kids ruined it. Just a foreward, I was not that old, I was scammed multiple times since I did not have that much knowledge of player interaction and theifery, but I never ranted. I reported the person and brushed it off. I remember back in the day, when runescape 1 was out and in its prime. Fresh out of Lumbridge, there were no quest guides around this time, or not of any that I was aware of. Me and my brother spent hours on Ernest the Chicken. The game was challenging. We didn't complain. We enjoyed the challenge. That is the point of a game, right? A challenge that is possible to overcome, quite fairly and easily, and there were different difficulties of challenges, some harder than others. There was the distinct boundary of noob and pro. One was the level of course. The other was determined by combat. Just right click on someone, and request a duel. (Yes, you could duel anywhere!, but when you died, you went to Lumbridge.)The other was the hairstyle. There was no appearance changing. And if you didn't get the message, light blue hair was the color of pros who could afford rune armor. Making money was difficult back then. The main source was mining coal and turning them into certs. (I was so used to certs, that when RS2 came out and my brother told me how they took away certs and now used "notes" I was so confused, lmao. I was like, wtf is that, do u trade in 8 to make a cert or something? And he was just like, no its just one of the item, I was still confused for about 2 hours lol). One of the main sources of money was the taxi service. You spam messages in front of the bank in Varrock, advertising your taxi service. People trade you money and they follow the person, and its a trip to falador or wherever. There weren't much freeloaders. But money making was challenging. When you were a noob like me, your main source of money was to kill things and sell them to the general store. There was no running either. The attacking animation was set at a constant speed for all weapons, but the damage was dealt according to the weapon. And there was 3 things you always had to carry around. Money, food, and of course, your traditional sleeping bag. RS Classic was great. RPing was one of the many ways to enjoy the game. Having a "girlfriend, or boyfriend" was common. It wasn't lame. It was just something fun to do and to have a friendship over a game. Eventually, all hell broke loose. JaGEx was pretty lenient. One of the oldest memories I could recall was when JaGEx actually rewarded a scammer! Fook A Ji, who had one of the most imfamous, yet petty and simple scams. The full description of the scam is quite foggy, but it went something like this: "Trade me a diamond and I'll use it on a special tree that will give you access to the lsot city." And of course, it worked. (This scam eventually became the start of the quest, The Lost City) Runescape 2 was announced to be in the making. A select few would be chosen to test the game out. Eventually, it was released to the public. The game was still pretty challenging, but there were some added comforts, such as running. No one complained. The game was fine for a few months. After a year or two things got way out of hand. One of the pretty old memories was that of people asking for HORSES. It was quite comical, since on the rants section, every other post was a little kid asking for horses. "Omfg Jagex!!! the distance from varock and falador is too long naow!!!(Once RS2 was released, they increased the distances from town to town, but made up for it by adding the run function). me wants a horse to ride, and the horse should only cost like 1000 gp and it should take us from varock to falador in leik 5 seconds!!" Agility was one of the first disappointing skills I encountered. The pictures of the news page showed epic pictures of people in dragon armor with a dragon battleaxe jumping from a bridge and stuff. I thought this skill could be used anywhere. I was wrong, haha. More children showed up on runescape's doorstep. No one knows where they originated from, some say Scandinavia, others say Asia. I, for one, am pretty sure I know where they came from... They came from Miniclip... The game was not that very popular at around this time. The game hit about 100k at its peak, and there was hardly over 60 worlds. Once JaGEx started to advertise on Miniclips, the children started flowing in like water. Since kids were not allowed to play WoW due to their parents, they came to Runescape. Of course Jagex didn't care. All they really wanted was money. They didn't know how to make money. They didn't even give an attempt to try to learn how. Instead, they resorted to begging. A level 15 would follow a 75 with a runeset, and say one of the most famous words ever spoken..., "fr33 st00f pl0x!!". Eventually they got even worse. They made female characters and requested relationships with high levels. They spammed these stupid messages in Lumbridge and it got out of hand. Let's skip to the part where the term noob was mass produced and used by idiots. "Hey can I borrow 15k?, pl0x!!!" "no" And somewhere around here, it is unknown where it actually originated (I actually think this happened by mistake, just like how fire was created! :o) "noob!!!!" And he continues to follow him, spamming noob until it was time for him to go to bed. Of course, this constant begging was quite ironic since kids begged all day for free money, when they could have been using that time to make money on their own, and by their own fault, they did not have any money. They eventually, somehow found the forums. And once again, all hell broke loose. Every rant section was filled with kids requesting free money and accounts. The forums became a mess, and somewhere around this time, forum mods were created. I'm done ranting about this, but basically to cut to the chase, when kids came from Miniclips, Runescape got out of hand. Jagex, due to their careless nature, submitted to the simple and feeble will of children and started making everything easier. Now the community is ruined, there is hardly any player interaction, and I can't even remember the last time I've actually traded with a person. Trade worlds are a joke now, half the people there just talk. Spam bots are not a problem with Jagex, since there are millions sitting on member's worlds spamming about Wefightge's ownage CC. Runescape used to be the greatest game, and it is one of the longest games I've ever played. I enjoy the game despite the fact that my friends make fun of me, in a friendly way of course, and despite the fact that there are about 500 million other games that have better graphics. I played for the sheer entertainment which was left in the dust along with Runescape Classic. All the wannabe veterans who think they know everything about RSC and think it is the best game in the world deserve to be banned. I remember a couple of years ago, level 30's were complaining about how Jagex should open up RSC for them to play the "awesome game"[that they have never played]. Now, Runescape is easier to play than tic-tac-toe, and requires less knowledge than to open a door. Jagex made all these stupid warnings, and have more than 30 warnings that must be turned off at the Doomsayer to finally be ended. What happened to Runescape, Jagex? Does MMORPG even apply to Runescape anymore? Massive-Yes Multiplayer-Not much... Online-Sure RPG-Not really. There is no more risk in the PvE world really anymore, unless you are fighting the Corpreal Beast. All these ridiculous weapons have been introduced and half the community can be legally considered mentally [developmentally delayed]ed. All these updates with crazy-[wagon] weapons dealing easily over 70 damage have ruined the game, along with the hours upon hours of endless training to get that 99 strength. Just AFK at soul wars and you are at 99 strength. R.I.P. Runescape. You were my first love... D=

Gravestones aren't that hard to understand. Basically when you die, gravestones keep your "corpse" fresh along with your items, pardon my poor choice of words. In other words, your items are saved for the duration of the certain gravestone you have. The one everyone starts off with by default lasts for 3 minutes. For those 3 minutes, your items will stay at the spot you died until your gravestone timer wears off. The more expensive a gravestone is, the longer it lasts, ON ITS OWN. What I mean by on its own is that, sure your gravestone might last for say 10 minutes. You might not be able to make it back in time. That might not be a problem unless no one nearby. What other people can do for your grave is to either re-build it, or bless it. I am not sure about the time for rebuilding a grave, but I think if you rebuild someone's grave, the timer will increase by 10? minutes. Although that requires no skill level, blessing a grave is different. Blessing a grave requires 70 prayer and it will incrase the duration of your grave by 30 minutes. Ps: Not trying to be a wannabee-mod, but this should probably go in the help and advice forum. Edit: I read the last part of your topic. If you click on the helmet tab on your interface, and then you click on the skull and tresure chest, you can see what items you will keep upon death and what will be lost.

Duel tournament works fine unless you are trying to duel for loot or stakes. If not, just do clan wars or something.

Scimitar. Using the 2h is risky, because although you might be able to hit higher with it, the speed is slower, and if you hit a 0, then that is a wasted turn. Hitting a 0 with a scimmy has less of a downtime and you are able to get more hits off. And to wugmaster. Quit posting to get your post count up. You have been typing the same thing over and over, and I know it isn't a triple post because there is no edit msg at the bottom of your post, and they are all different. The 3rd post is also posted after 2 other people posted. So stop trying to post-[bleep]. By the way. Battle axe sucks.

What is the fastest way to get bronze arrows? I need tons without having to fletch them, and I even put in an offer in the g/e max price. I got about 150 from that over a period of 2 days. The shop in varrock doesn't sell that many and I don't want to walk to catherby's arrow shop to get some. How can I get a lot of bronze arrows? And also, what is the fastest way to train range, starting from 20? I have 1 defence by the way and I am f2p. And I do not want to do rock crabs. Is soul wars basically the fastest way?

Just as a side note, I don't know if someone else already posted this, but... If you have a good defense level and you are a pretty high level, using prayer pots isn't necessary. You can do fine with btp(bones to peaches)and some starting food. You need some good range defense armor, which can be costly. I like to use a torag's body, armadyl helmet, black dhide legs, glory/fury, sara vambs, and a zammy cape. Might want to edit it and use broad-tipped bolts. They give the same strength as adamant bolts and are x2 less the cost.

19. I would rather plant a magic tree. Then chop 'em and sell the logs for 1k each. Woot, I'd be rich!

Einsteinism :^o :roll: \ :wall:

Sir Issac Newton or Einstein. I think maybe more Newton because he had such little to work off of. The Three Laws were quite something, since it all happened from a falling apple, or so it was rumored. But then again, Newton had things to experiment with. Einstein had to do all theory and mathematics to figure out his Theory of Relativity. He was able to find out E=mc^2. Pretty good for a 20th century scientist.

Thanks a lot guys. :D

What is the fastest way to get to the black demons at the Chaos Tunnels. And what will I need to protect myself from monsters I run into. I don't need the portals and all that, I just need the spot of the wilderness I need to enter through, and any additional equipment I will need to protect myself while running through. Thanks in advance.
