This thread is aimed for fans to have a serious discussion in. [B]If you hate this game, leave now.[/B] If you want to say this game is crap, fine. Just don't do it here.
[B]Info[/B]
RuneScape is the online massive multiplayer Java game created by Jagex Ltd. It's played directly in your browser. The world is huge and there's a lot to do in the game. There's Lots skills to be trained, minigames to be played with other players, quests and many dungeons to explore.

[B]Quests[/B]
The quests has really deep stories. There's no "go there, kill that, bring the loot back to me" quests like in many MMOs out there. The Jagex story writes put many hours into every quest to make it interesting and tell its own story. This is one of the many reasons I like this game.
[B]Skills[/B]
There's many skills to be trained and many of them are really rewarding. For example I will take the Mining and Smithing skills. You can mine your ore in mines. The higher your mining level is the better ores you can mine. You take the ore to a furnace to melt it, then smith it into armor and weapons you can use or sell.
[B]Magic[/B]
The game has three spellbooks.
The mordern spellbook focuses on elemental spells to damage what you fight. It also contains a number of teleportation spells you make your way through the lands, but also spells to weaken your opponent.
The ancient spellbook contains many extremely powerful spells. At level 94 magic you can cast the famous "Ice Barrage" spell, which deals a great ammount of damage to the target, and everything that's close to the target, and make them unable to move for a number of seconds.
The Lunar spellbook focuses on all day life spells. There's spells for healing you, healing an ally, cure someone from poision, group teleportation and even spells for filling vials with water and baking a pie!
[B]Economy[/B]
RuneScape's economy is interesting. Most trading is done between players, and not game controlled shops, so the game gets a very unique economic behavior (for a game). Prices of things goes up and down just like in the real world.
[B]Player Killing[/B]
RuneScape had problems with real world trading. Thousands of bots were making in-game money and selling it for real money and completely destroying the RuneScape economy. Jagex tackled this problem by limiting the amount of wealth that could be given between two players. Killing players in the area called "Wilderness" made them drop their whole inventory and wealth could be transfered that way, so Jagex removed Player Killing from the game. PK-ing could then only be done in certain minigames. A poll was made by Jagex, and both Free Trade and the Wilderness were brought back. This was ruined by botters, but the majority of them were dealt with using a bot nuke.
The main classes are Warrior, Ranger and Mage. You can be any of them at any time, there's no class you're bound to be when you first create your character.
[B]Graphics[/B]
Many people complain about the graphics. I don't care much myself, but recently Jagex updated the graphics in their game. The textures and models now looks much better, and proper AA is now supported.

Agoat's Approved Newbie Guide
[/B][QUOTE=Agoat;37195975]Tip for newbies: If you're looking to fund your early adventures, pick up seemingly useless drops people ignore. Guards drop grapes, which are worth around 850gp.
Say you want to fund your woodcutting leveling. Without obviously selling the logs, let's play with some numbers.
One grape is worth (in our example), 850 gp.
A rune hatchet is worth 7,500.
This means that you don't even need ten grapes for a rune hatchet. One grape will buy you any lower level hatchet, sometimes even for two levels.
Let's get into something a little more common: bones. Bones are used for prayer, but I recommend using XP lamps on them instead. (Especially if you're like me and don't care about your prayer level). Picking up an inventory of bones and selling it on the GE will net you a little under 3k. By picking up ashes from random fires, you can make even better money with literally no effort.
Equipment below Rune is cheap. By selling your junk at the grand exchange, you can fund everything you need to do up until level 40 in most of your skills. Then you can learn a real way to make money. :P[/QUOTE]

[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]
Sorry if your name is wrong at the moment - am yet to check the list, so was just pressing enter where it seemed logical! Will cross reference with old list later. Also, will sort out banner.
this seems really outdated. the wilderness has been back for a looong time, dog
I just copied and pasted the OP from old thread - am in the process of updating.
Well atleast scorpinat didn't get the OP lol.
I was reading the old one as garry closed it, so I had a reasonable advantage.
Make another new list of players. The current new list is full of people that are banned or dont play.
[QUOTE=scorpinat;34014334]Make another new list of players. The current new list is full of people that are banned or dont play.[/QUOTE]
Okay, I will transfer the people who have already posted, those who post from now on, even regulars, can you repost your username please.
[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]
Lunar and Kung, we don't have your usernames, post them if you want to be on the memberlist.
you can put me on there again.
Done Psycho.
Is it me, or does the limited time offer on google goggles seem quite long?

Since Dec 6th.
90 fm for the new quest what the fuck
soon there will be a quest only for those with the completionist cape
I'm about to start my first fire cape attempt.
im not complaining, but wow thats a high requirement
[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]

stats?

Anything blatantly out of place?
66 farming
with your stats id choose the void set
also swap some of your brews and super restores for prayer renewals, you wont need that much hp especially if you have an enhanced excalibur (with it im pretty sure you could make it through with 1-2 brews as an emergency)
bring 1 more ranged pot if you want to use them for the last 7-10 waves
if you have one, a(n illustrated) god book would be a better choice than the dfs, unless you want to discharge your breath
I don't have the void set...
your gear is good im just saying void would be more efficient at your level
Hey, Flip and Fox, what are your rs names?
[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]
You don't have to give them if you don't want to.

Thanks, both on the list now.
Wave 22 and I realize switching to regular prayers off of curses may have been smart so I could pray for range boost...
Anyone want to do some bossing? I don't really care which, I'm lvl 128.
