Title: Runescape Discussion Thread
Post by: LifeCraft J on October 10, 2011, 01:15:49 AM
This thread is to talk about anything Runescape-related! Whether it to be talking about how to do quests, or just brag about your character's stats, feel free!

I hate RuneScape more than anything else on this planet
Also, why are you posting this in Anything Goes? This would be much more appropriate for General Gaming Discussion

Haha, roblox was fun when I was 10, then I hated it after those 2 months playing it.
*checks roblox site for fun of it*
Woah nelly they changed a lot from the last four years I saw it, and paying for extra content?!
Damn, I'm lucky I played it when it was at its peak!

"Oh, you want to be able to fit in with the society and have pride in your appearance? You need to pay us $100 a month, no questions or refunds. Not enough? But even more upgrades for an extra $599 a month!"

Worst three years I have ever spent in my life.

Heh, are you talking about RuneScape or that other game? RS certainly took a turn for the worse with all of the things they added IE: Promotions on membership, being able to buy various things and some things are obtainable only via money spent on an actual thing/event. God knows what else they did they said they wouldnt do, for the spirit of the game.

Played it myself for... Hm... 3 or so years? Maybe longer. Its old enough that is of the time where i didnt even use this name, so dont be suprised that my RS account name is Mister Evil9, a bit silly but we all do... Weird things while young.

Maybe i should return to the game sometime, heh. Once the bot masses are cleared out once and for all, even though i even ended up being a mod there, its quite discouraging to play if the bot swarms persist. Some go as far as to mention high up executives and/or bots are strangling the game for all its money untill it dies and move on. As long as the bots keep a high image in the free worlds it might just end up to that. (As if Lumbridge wasnt crappy enough with only password scammers, cyberdating, general scamming, and plain bad behaviour). :P

Lament - The coal rocks in the Mining Guild, Mining for runes in Varrock, Smithing and cooking in Al-Kharid, Cutting down Yew trees everywhere, Fishing near Gunnarsgrunn, many places where bots tend to hide out. And that's in F2P. Who knows how many other bot-camps there are in P2P. We reported 4 bots yesterday, and I ticked someone off for thinking that he was a bot. The Medieval Society isn't advanced enough to handle this kind of new-fangled technology, unless they're all "Zamorak approved."

Basically back then there was a bot problem, then Jagex put a trade limit, later they removed it and bots started swarming everywhere, I also found out some bots can be twarted by simply saying "your quiver is empty" and they will TP out, but yeah, now on holidays they're having special stuff for the p2p members, back then, it was all about simple fun like in haloween, you're hanging webs in death's house everyone gets the same rewards and has fun, now, you're doing complicated puzzles and stuff that makes no sense, and Jagex is shoving members stuff in your face every holiday. Basicly it's more about money then pleasing the players now.
Title: Re: Runescape Discussion Thread
Post by: CarThief on October 12, 2011, 12:15:48 PM
Indeed, all they seem to care about now is money, and it seems some players go as far to say (perhaps rightfully so) that they are intentionally making as much as possible money off the bot issue, now that bots no longer have stolen credit card issues that almost locked down a large payment method (wich resulted in the original start of the trade limit and such).

If only they kept the trade limit... Players where even given world PVP worlds, and it was almost completely bot-free except for price changing bot clans. Or was it autotypers... Perhaps both.
They'll never be able to deal with the bot swarms in any other way. Though i hear they did get rid of advertisement bots from a reliable source. Though if that lasts, however...

Bumping this topic with some good news:

The following message was written by Mark Gerhard, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Technology Officer of Runescape, on October 21st

Quote
Hi Everyone,

Last week, Daniel Clough shared more news with the community about our ongoing war to eliminate botting and gold farming from the game. Today, I am really happy to say we are in the long-awaited position of being able to announce that we’ll be launching our most formidable bot-busting weapon in our history, targeting what we believe to be 98% of the bots seen in game.

I anticipate that this update will be a defining triumph in our battle against the bots which you’ve clearly told us have been harming your game. However, we are not resting on our laurels and will be continuing to develop numerous systems as well as still making a number of improvements over the coming months in an attempt to remain a few steps ahead of both the bot makers and gold farmers alike.

As Daniel made clear last week, we are dedicated to battling bots and gold farming on every front. We have also recently detected and banned over 1.5 million botting and gold farming accounts. While we work behind the scenes on certain projects, we know that sometimes the necessary secrecy can be rather frustrating for players and, as a team, we’ve all desperately wanted to share details about this upcoming project with the community since the very beginning of the year when we had first believed it was going to be imminently ready. However, sadly sometimes when innovating in multiple uncharted areas it takes a lot longer than expected and we were therefore at necessary pains to keep this project tightly under wraps while completing it and, crucially, not giving bot makers any information or warning that could assist them in working around it or preparing for it.

The project, code-named the ‘ClusterFlutterer’, will be launched as part of the RuneScape game update on Tuesday the 25th October permanently preventing “reflection” bots from working again.

But, then again, not a lot of people here appreciate the game. So, I'll just leave it here and let the topic die on it's own.  :|

I'd probably appreciate this game a tad more if they didn't claim it was free then limit 95% of the content only to people who pay for it.

This.
It'd be fun,but to actually have an experience in general,you have to waste 6 bucks which could be used for something actually,I dunno,USEFUL IN LIFE.
My rant is done.

I should probably add that 6$/month* is a rather paltry sum, but spending those on something like Runescape seem kinda like a moot point, escpecially since I can find vastly more enjoyable games for roughly the same amount of money.

*Didn't it use to be 5$?

I think it was 5$,but they thought that the extra dollar would make them richer.

Hm, perhaps a turning point and reason to return. If they're getting rid of the bots thats quite a significant start. From a very reliable source so far things went somewhat good, last time i checked. Might just be worth to come back eventually, was always fun to mute the excess of ad bots in the G.E or Lumbridge or any other popular areas. Any that somehow get through tend to become hard to understand, but even then mods tend to take mute of those that slip through.

Hm, and 5/6 per month aint too expensive, considering the large amount of content, though i'll admit a fair bit of it requires or involves grinding, but that seems to be a base element of the game that some like or dislike. Its been getting increasingly easier to obtain EXP in more creative methods though. And doing said method with a friend, or any form of grinding, will make it fun enough.

Back in the day i even bought Funorb membership along with Runescape membership, costed at best like 7 or 8 dollars/euro's in total. Funorb is one of Jagex's other game sites, i think the first one aside Runescape. Though for whatever reason all the development either abandoned it or where placed on other projects, leaving the site without an update over a year.
Has some good games though. But i'd wait with paying untill they show up again, if you want new content, unless you're just paying to enjoy the current games to the max (same style free game as Runescape, you get part of the game for free, but the rest is paying for it).

Edit: Yeah the F2P community in there can get quite bad. Though it may just be me and my old times, but there should be some good people left in there. Back in the day atleast i could find friends that i could trust with say, my passwords, even! Now? Who knows...

Post by: CarThief on November 03, 2011, 05:07:26 PM
I'd hate to doublepost but i doubt the topic gets anymore attention otherwise...
But in case anyone here plays it instead of hates it... Worth a try?

So... I just got myself some more membership and picked up dungeoneering again, good old fun as ever, anyone want to join in sometime? I'm not too fussed about dungeon size (though i'd prefer to avoid large dungeons on 2-ish party teams).

I can make decent armor, and if you're not a member i could come too though i'd have to get a weapon elsewhere then. Oh, my combat level is around 90-something in non-members and 104 or so in members, if Summoning still dictates the combat level between the two games. Though with good company i dont care if they're level 3. The account is Mister Evil9 (its an old name, heh), my private chat is on friends only, so i'll have to add people instead.
Title: Re: Runescape Discussion Thread
Post by: DarkAura on November 03, 2011, 05:51:33 PM
Yeah, I think this thread isn't gonna get anymore progress. I always thought that, since Deathmatch and RuneScape were both "European-born games," there would be a lot of people who tried/liked it, but since I actually gave LifeUp the idea of this thread anyway:

+1 ThreadLock

I was addicted to Dungeoneering when it first came out, but I always played alone. Took a month-and-a-half of constant focus just to get the Tome of frost. Went all the way up to, I think, 65 Dungeoneering around that time.

And, yeah. Summoning does go towards Combat level. I'm at about 88/89 Combat even though I never was a member.
Title: Re: Runescape Discussion Thread
Post by: CarThief on November 28, 2011, 03:31:31 AM
Hm, perhaps, considering apparently 80% of the damn MM8BDM players ARE in the US or prefer US-only servers (causing a gigantic lack of EUROPEAN SERVERS!!! - but thats another story).

I'd say no reason to lock it yet though, if at all, just because something is impopular it never got locked for it, it just died off. But anyone still wants to do some dungeoneering as a group... I'm up for it. Guess i'll do some solo dungeoneering for now, need to get back in the rytm again, oh some devious traps, or those damn mazes.

Might as well toss this out for shits and giggles, after the site redesign, nowhere on the site dose it say "#1 free MMO" anymore. I gotta say, at least they're being honest now

So about 10 months ago, KD and I decided to start playing Runescape for shits and giggles. A long while later and we're still playing. Whoops? The game's significantly more unfucked than it was over the last few years so it's probably worth a try.

This is the place where I'd put a referral link, but it's not showing up, but I figure it's simple enough to find the site.

Our in-game names are Peustron and Duke Fishron. If you decide to play for additional aforementioned shits and giggles, post your name here (And eventually I might just remake the thread if needed). We may be able to arrange purchases of membership with in-game money  :cool:

I'm still confused as to how my guy was there during the Saradomin/Zamorak war dispite me not having internet, and on top of that, WHY DIDN'T HE GRAB THE FRIGGIN LOOT! ALOT has changed over the years tough, new graphics, new voice acting, and even different combat skills

As for buying membership, my friend gave me the gold for a bond and had membership for a month, it was pretty fun, you can play for free indefinitely if you can somehow make the crazy amount of gold it's worth a month

@ice If your account was online during world event 1 without you knowing, I'd check to make sure your account is secure... apply the authenticator and all that. But anyways, high level slayer (~75 slayer, 80+ combat stats) rakes in TONS of money- I have enough for about a month and a half sitting around and possibly another month and a half in items.

@Jman If you like things to be easy, legacy is pretty good, but EoC is always going to have superior damage output (as it should, really)

Besides, I really don't understand why people who preferred old combat weren't satisfied with Momentum. Isn't it the same thing sans specs?

Oh right, that. Well, at least you can get the best stuff still from God Wars Dungeon (Which KD and I are doing for money now and then, post your RSN if you want to join in), and keep an eye out for WE3 that's been hinted at.

Also, Jamflex fixed the recruit-a-friend link so I'm going to drop this right here
