This topic caught my eye.  Man there were good times in that game.. then they went and updated it.  They took out the old pk-for-money wildy, and they also made it so you can't trade items 'unfairly' anymore.  I ended up not being able to play anymore because I had lent my things to a friend for an extended period of time while I was inactive.  I come back and it's literally impossible to get my gear back.... not worth earning back full guthan and a santa hat.  I alched my fire cape and that was that.

On a side note, the old Tz-Tok Jad pwnz this lame new one.  xD

I'll be getting the defender next week I imagine.

Meantime, I just completed my 160th quest, which was rat-catchers. Only ten left... typically they're the hardest ten though:

While Guthix Sleeps
Within the Light
Summer's End
Blood Runs Deep
Dream Mentor
The Void Stares Back
Do No Evil
Nomad's Requiem

also Love Story and My Arm's Big Adventure.

And I still need 80 magic and 75 ranged as the hardest skill requirements to get... so a long way yet to go for that quest cape.

Two quests down, eight to go.

Dream Mentor can be quite a pain, eh?

I think I failed it once, but that is ages ago... years.

I'm not gonna play again, cos before I know I'm too much into it and waste too much time doing it.

[jim360]

Ain't that the truth?

I think that, after I've done all quests, completed all hard achievement diary tasks (though not the elite ones) and got a second 99 skill, I'll probably take a long break from rs. Hopefully I won't take too long about that lot, but I think that should keep me busy until March 2011.

I'm getting 85 dungeoneering for frost dragons, you make like 2-3m an hour there . At the moment i'm 48 any one know how long this'll take playing 5-6 hrs a day lol? In my opinion it should take around 1-2 weeks but i want someone to give me there thoughts .

[jim360]

More like 3 weeks at 5 hours a day, since you have to allow for parties that aren't well organised. A good party with well-matched players can complete a large 5:5 dungeon in about an hour, maybe faster judging from some of the exp rates per day I've seen. But with a poor party the same dungeon may take twice as long.

So yeah, expect level 85 in about 2 or 3 weeks.

No no no no no no noNO!NONONONO!NO!NO!NO!N!O!NO!!!!!

Why would they do this!? The voting is so rigged too, instead of logging in, and clicking Yes...or No...you enter you name...click a button...and it means you voted yes.
You can basically cheat and enter your entire friends list to vote yes...I'll be very surprised if this doesn't go through....it's a shame...I DON'T want to go back the way it was....

   21-Dec-2010 - Wilderness and Free Trade Vote   

Hi everyone,

As we near the end of another big year for Jagex, I feel very proud and truly amazed at what we’ve achieved together since RuneScape was conceived a decade ago. Together we’ve been part of the growth of one of the biggest free games in the world, not to mention the best, most vibrant online community in history. The Jagex family has grown to well over 400, we’ve picked up a number of Guinness World Records along the way (and counting), and for the second year running we’ve won the Golden Joystick Awards as best UK developer. This is all thanks to you, the players.

As you know, we try to keep our updates close to our chest, so that you will be pleasantly surprised; however, I can promise you that 2011 will be one of our most exciting update years ever.

When considering big game-changing decisions, it’s always with our players’ ultimate game experience firmly in mind; your feedback helps shape our decisions and, ultimately, the fun entertainment we produce. Creating content that you enjoy and appreciate is what drives our passionate teams. We regularly listen to you on the fan sites, our forums, in game and, for the first time ever, face to face at our live player celebration: RuneFest 2010. Your voice counts hugely, because we know you are as passionate about playing RuneScape as we are about making it.

It’s never lost on me what an incredible privilege it is to be able to serve such a wonderful community as well as the incredible team at Jagex. I’ve had an astonishing time over the past two years that I’ve been CEO of Jagex and, during that time, have had to make some rather difficult decisions. Today, however, I’d like to ask every one of our players, past and present, for your help in making one of the biggest decisions regarding the future of RuneScape...

I regularly hear from both the community and the Jagex team that we should reintroduce free trade and the excitement of the old Wilderness, warts and all. As you know, we removed free trade and the Wilderness in 2007 to combat botting, gold farming and item scamming. Since then, we have produced new content that provides comparable gameplay and mechanics to allow increased trade limits with long-term friends; however, we are still regularly being told that something is missing from the 'good old days' of RuneScape.

We’ve been shutting down bot-makers all around the world and prosecuting people for stealing accounts, and we’ve evolved our systems to quickly detect cheating; however, we will have to accept that we will never completely eradicate cheating so long as there is an incentive and method to do so. Bringing back free trade and the original Wilderness will certainly make this a bigger issue than it is today, though I can pledge that we will never stop trying to combat it.

So, the big question is, are the passionate voices we hear on this topic truly representative of the majority of the player community or just a rather vocal minority? Do you want to see a return of free trade and the original Wilderness? If the vast majority of our players vote in favour of it, then we will do exactly that.

Please tell us what you think by visiting this page and registering your vote. As ever, we’ll read your feedback and listen to your thoughts and opinions, so please do feel free to discuss and debate this on the forums.

In the meantime, have a wonderful holiday season and thank you for a fantastic 2010. I look forward to celebrating ten years of RuneScape with you in January.

Have fun!

Take care,
Mark Gerhard
