  1. It is kind of nice to see that instead of letting content get built up by months or even years of speculation they are playing the "Big" things close to the chest. Not to say that things like the diaries talk about are not big but they are only a fraction of what there is coming, like an iceberg. I am happy to see that F2P has dropped it's status as a billboard for how great membership is and has returned to the way it was (by being able to build myself there and do the many things I loved without the pressure of "you need to be a member" for anything but those pesky gates it helped me make the original transition to becoming a member so many years ago.) I am glad they found someone with an interest in the game more from a player standpoint then from that of a CEO. Profits are only nice when they are used to create better content and create it fast enough for the players to never catch up not when they are just thrown around to make the game bigger. All in all I am most happy they are not going to follow the path of live content editing like they did with summoning. The skill itself is decent in many aspects but it has been so tarnished by the wave of "oh this is not right (yes yes nothing is perfect and there will always be someone to find cracks but everyone knows that release was a huge flop.) Last thought! Anyone else happy they are admitting that RS was built on a viral status instead of the mass marketing that other MMO's use? CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT PART!!
  2. First off Sort of tells you you will need that blasted ring, I mean seriously was ANYTHING else from that quest useful beside the QP? Now why are there so many whiners that are upset about the quest being low to mid level? it happens. They are obviously building up to an even grander WGS style event that will encompass EVERY plot that involves the Maj, Zaros, Zam, and the God Wars. Give it time, things have to fit into place before you can do anything. Now yes there is that facepalm moment and all I can say is. Dear Jagex, There are many times the dialogue changes depending on what my character has done. Please fix this for future questers that have enough to know that Zaros is the true dark one. Sincerely, OWD And honestly now... We have known of this Zaros character since Dig Site. Jagex might not have known where they were going with him then but GOOD GOD WE ALL KNOW NOW! I am very happy BTW that he actually got some real air time and was not lost to the "oh that was just some idiot in a bear mask" scenario.
  3. I don't think you quite understand the problem so I will try to explain it better. My old hard drive failed. I had all of my documents backed up and even was able to transfer them to a new harddrive without the backup. After re-installing the needed programs. (Office, Photoshop, Firefox, etc.) I attempted to reinstall Java. After I installed Java to the new drive I had to restart the PC because of all of the installs/Microsoft updates. When the computer booted up I attempted to access my RS account only to be told I needed to install Java. When I look in the control panel there is a "Java" icon and the Add/Remove window lists Java v6.13 or what ever the newest is BUT! the program files folder is now missing the entire Java folder disabling access to any of it. When I try to remove Java it tries to access the missing folder and when it can't, instead of deleting itself it just states "Fatal Error" and closes the uninstall request. If I try to reinstall Java from an install file both online and offline it tells me Java is already there but it cannot over wright the file so I can not reinstall.
  4. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I recently replaced a bad HDD and in the process lost everything but files and folders. After I reinstalled Java and restarted my computer for a few other installations I tried to open RS in standard def which lagged my browser to the near point of freezing for a good 5 minutes. I thought it might have been a bad install so I removed Java and tried to install a lower version (started with update 13 tried update 12) even after trying everything I can think of though when I try to install any version it says there is already Java installed and to remove it first. On my add/remove it still lists Java but there is no folder in my program files for Java so when I try to remove it again it says "fatal error install file not found" but still keeps me from loading ANY version of Java... :( This is kind of killing my RS buzz... I need my fix. Any ideas?
  5. I don't remember an exact level but from personal experience I became a member when I exhausted quest options by finishing Dragon Slayer and decided I wanted some new goals wot work for. (and then when I came back simply to actually be able to use the hundreds of members items I had.) Really the only factor to when an f2p should become p2p is when they feel ready for it. I know that is an unpopular notion because so many people get membership a few days after creating an account and are extreeeeeeeeeemely annoying with some of their questions or spamming. But Truthfully only the person who made the account has any idea when they should make that leap.
  6. The thing is all the skills are 99. To raise the limit of one would mean raising the limit of them all. Now yes in the distant future when (and if) RS5 or RS10 comes about the skill limits were increased to 999 at something like 2 trillion xp but until then it's just a dream. At most they just need to introduce better armor. Then again they also need to recalibrate the combat triangle though that's a debate all its own.
  7. In case you didn't notice, you're not going to get to rest anywhere. You have to go to a spot where a bard is playing music, and listen to the music while your energy restores. This means you might not get to restore run in SC (oh, but in case you didn't know using the altars in SC heal your energy as well and hp and prayer) or near agility courses. It's up to jage where they put these musicians. This update could be a total bust. It depends on how they really implement it. We don't have real details yet like locations or how much energy will be restored so we can't say at the moment. He said that the benches idea wouldn't work and that that part of it was scrapped in favor of bards. Nothing is said about dropping the rest anywhere function.[/hide] If you can rest anywhere then what the hell is the purpose of bards? Let's think here. OK lets think. Lets call the restoration while walking a value of 1. Now to rest will either be valued 2 or 3 times 1. Which means that when you rest you gain back double or triple speed. Now resting and relaxing with a bard will offer even more than simple resting and thus more than walking anywhere from 3 to 6 Which means it can be anywhere from 3 times what you gain walking, double what you gain resting, or more than double what you gain. Simple math really Walking 1 x 1 = 1 Resting 1 x 2 = 2 or 1 x 3 = 3 Barding 2 x 2 = 4 or 1 x 5 = 5 or 2 x 3 = 6
  8. OK very interesting update indeed except for one thing. They already took this feature out of the game when RS2 became RS Prime. Anyone here know what I am talking about? Run energy = Fatigue (though reversed and not tied to every little thing) Bards/Rest = Sleeping bags... that we don't have to fill an inventory slot with
  9. Attention pl0x? As I see it, this "topic" really has no discussion value. I've lost that much before, and I made it back in a matter of a week or two, maybe less. But if you want to quit, GL IRL. Did you bother to understand the words as they grew into sentences to convey a greater meaning? The post specifically was not about gaining pity of any kind in fact it was more the opposite it's more a question of why he would not even want the pity and is just apathetic to the situation. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AT ITS FINEST! [/hide]You think because a game doesn't give you any enjoyment or grief there is something wrong with you? No, your getting older, maturing, you've grown out of Runescape, you already stated that. So it seems like you want to get happy and angry at the game again but can't figure out how. Why didn't you just ask that in the first place? Normally people ask a question, then give details about the situation, not ask in the middle of explaining the situation. ~ Captainkidd All I can say is, very nice.
  10. I say take a break. I stepped away for two or three years due to school and when I came back there was three new skills, skill capes, 20+ new quests, and shortly after a fourth new skill. Even a few months of not logging in or watching the homepage should render you with a sense of excitment when you come back.
  11. This is nice, got a few charms, my q cape back, and it seems the yeti's drop clue scrolls.
  12. which is why, if I am having a bad day, when I am asked that question I hold off long enough to check out their highscore stats and make the offering of "12 levels above you" etc. The braggers call me a liar and the real conversationalists laugh it off (like 90% of he time).
  13. But they have promised four updates a month. In your time they did not. There is a difference. NO! RuneScape under The old CEO Geoff Iddison "promised" 4 Updates a month. All Mark Gerhard (who BTW has his own Wikipedia page now :? ) has "promised" was a more openness, more quality not quantity updates, and no BTS. Oh and Less dumbing it down for the kiddies. It is completely his and the boards choice to follow Iddison's plans or not.
  14. lol I did this for political science class a few years ago... my views have changed some since then it seems...
  15. Because it is a milestone it's like saying that RS turning 5 or 10 years old would not be important. Plus they told us they wanted to have something special. Heck they brought out a hoodie for it. 150 had to be special because of prior commitments. Just as everyone assumes there is an Easter event, a Halloween event, and a Christmas event. They have set themselves in the position and therefore are required to follow through. So if they didn't hype it, it didn't have to be special. As I don't find 150 quests a milestone. In a way yes, but they still had precedent that the 50th of the set (each set being 50 quests) would be something special, memorable, and difficult for the active community. And yes it is somewhat a milestone. Quests are not out daily or weekly. Look at the time between RFD and TCC coming out. OR between Legends and RFD the legends guild existed in RS1/RSC for goodness sake.
