Hey, Navy, dibs on a partyhat! Lawl ;D.

Power, so true. For a while I didn't know how to moderate it, I'd just keep playing. I've finally quit (for the most part; still log on every once in a while), but I do still enjoy talking about it =].

Navy can't give phats soon anyways.

No more than 3K difference per trade.

Makes sense..

Thanks Hangman!

Why should you have fun without paying?

Why should F2P ruin the game for P2P.

Bots >> staking etc.

If the game should be P2P only, then half the people who play wouldn't be able to play. Do you think Jagex wants people to talk like this.

"I'm thinking about playing RuneScape."



"No, don't play that, you have to pay now."
"Wow, that's stupid. Why would they do that? That cuts the number of people who play in half."
"I know, that's the worst mistake they've ever made."

Why should you have to pay for horrible graphics? I can deal with it. It's free so why should I complain?

Don't count on this happening VxT. If this happens, people will switch to WOW. Basically the same game, better graphics, and I believe its the same fee. Which, you don't have to pay if you play in a private server.

BTW, I thought you quit VxT..??


WoW = 15 dollars a month
RS = 5 dollars a month


and the new updates are really bad.

Bounty Hunt is pretty bad considering I am lvl 103 which is close to the minimum for the highest portal.

My lvl 99 friend with 99 range, 99 str, 95 magic, 1 def is off owning noobs in the medium portal while I am stuck in the high portal getting owned by all the clans...


Jagex ruined the game.

They murdered RS :(.

They're doing this to essentially stop bots, and it will probably work, but they hung themselves with their own plan. Bots were a key part of the economy; they did what most players didn't. Power mine/power woodcut. Think about it, say you decided you want 99 firemaking. You're probably not going to go out and cut the millions of logs (or however many) needed yourself, right? Why should you when you can just buy them? Eventually a majority of the materials will be used up, and the majority of the lazy RSers won't have anything to do, because they're to lazy to go cut the logs themselves. They'd most likely end up quitting, thus making Jagex lose $5 per person quitting. They ruined merchanting which too was a pretty big part of the economy. With their duel arena plan, Jagex make hundreds of people quit. With the trade restrictions there goes another easy thousand. There were SO many merchanters is was insane. No more drop parties at a friends 99 party, either. Jagex finally succeeded in stopping real-world trading, but in the process pretty much ruined the game for everyone else. They now control EVERY aspect of Runescape, even the economy. Soon people can't even give each other gifts. I'm sorry, but that was a stupid move on Jagex's part.

Yep, thats my 2 cents.

Yup, It's a chain, but they are taking that risk.Also when you see a noob with a phat, you said "omg" some of them botters,or people who have botters, when you go to mem or f2p worlds you see tons of them cutting yews. But I would give everyone a blue phat if I were Jagex Woot.

I've never pk'ed more than a granite maul while actually REAL pking. (not givebacks)

I've never staked more than a Rune Scimmy.

I never wasted my time merchanting when I could work on skills.

 .... And yet, this is still the worst update ever.  They've wasted so many people's time creating characters best suited for certain things, they've essentially made the game exactly what they want... powergrinding to the next level, which gives them more money because you spend more time doing the EXACT same things as other people do. 

What, for me, is the worst update part, is taking away the trading.  The only thing I ever even did in the past year was hunt the boss monsters.  Most of those require a team.  Their lootshare system is absolutely worthless.  A friend gets an Armadyl hilt drop, and I have to wait 1,526,321 more boss kills later until I can even get one.  They needed to make it split up among everyone in the lootshare.. otherwise it's impossible to share it at all.  They've FORCED us to use the price manipulating grand exchange, and force us to play the game how they want us.  What's even more sad, is the thousand of people in-game still rioting about it, even though it will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, because Jagex is so determined to eliminate RWT.  Honestly, I could care less about the person buying his gold... I just play for fun.  Was fun while it lasted... but when I can't even give a friend 1M for his birthday or to help him out... you know the game has gone to waste.
Thank you Kàkà§hì!

I'm guessing it's all a test.

For when they bring out "Mechscape"

They see what works, and what doesn't.

They can't exactly fix Runescape now, so may as well test on it.

Thanks Hangman!

Navy, thats so true. I haven't really used the loot-share, but I've heard my brother complaining about it now that they've released this "update". Runescape is pretty much a tyranny now. Jagex can't pull this one out of the gutter, no matter what they do. Unless they make membership free, which isn't going to happen. Even if they did that, I'm not convinced it'd do much.

Wow, I am so very glad that I quit Runescape when I did. Merchanting was my "skills" that I would use to make money. I would fletch magic longbows and high alch them. Then after I got tired of that, I would use the money I made with alching and merchant it.

JAGEX HAS OFFICIALLY RUINED RUNESCAPE.


P.S. It also makes me very mad, even though I don't play... That you can't even give your friends FREE stuff anymore! You can't go, "Hey dude, I hope you have a really good birthday today, here's a Whip to make it even better." But nope, won't work anymore!
