I spy

A crucial bit seems to be missing.

I do, basically, know when my points will roll over, but if you have a slot on your site for it, why not input the information?

When I did the Turkey day event on F2P, I found a guy in Varrock fountain attempting to advertise a gold-selling site. It was hilarious because he would only put one word per line, such as:

Used

Gold

Farm

d

0

t

c

0

m

(Not a real site, btw. I know someone will check. :P )

Also, Mackers is  awesome. I left him in my house with a shit-ton of cake. :)

November Screwjob

All the way at the bottom of the news article about revamping the RS website, here's this tidbit:

"Along with the release of the new website, we will be making hi-scores a members-only feature.

 

This is for a number of reasons, but the main one is to keep them fresh. We want the hiscores to feature players who will compete with each other, tooth and nail, for hiscore glory. There are many dormant accounts within the hiscores that have not played for a very long time, and this will give new arrivals in Gielinor a shot at hiscore fame alongside the grizzled veterans on equal terms for all."

Emphasis mine.

Well, you learn something new everyday, dontcha? I had no clue that F2Pers were uncompetitive lumps; lesser gamers because they don't hand over their $7.50 (CAD) per month.

"Members only" but "on equal terms"? Does it really surprise me? Not at all. After Mark Gerhard's "only true RuneScapeers are at RuneFest" statement when it was announced anyone going to RuneFest 2010 would be getting their tickets refunded (essentially going for free, aside from travel fare). He, or Jagex as a whole, is screwing over a fair percentage of their game base.

My question is: will all the F2P accounts be eligible to be wiped out so the names can be thrown into the bin for lucky P2Pers? Dibs on Syzygy!

CSI: Al Kharid

I tried my hand at the Dominion Tower. Mostly fought as a climber, happily strangling reincarnated bosses with my whip. That's pretty much all I'm interested in there. The boss fighting - taking on all dagannoth bosses at once - isn't my stein of beer. My rewards weren't overly noteworthy, though I only fought 5 bosses before calling it quits.

One Piercing Note, however, is just what I want as a quest. Though labeled as short, it took me just over an hour to finish while using a quest guide. I really liked the music. As a follower of Guthix, I helped Anna get a closer view of the desert surrounding the abbey, ala a hard shove out of the bell tower window. Getting my god books illuminated was nice for crafting exp. I wish I had all 6 books, but the pages haven't been selling (or not to me at any rate). 

What I've been doing is kicking back and doing bits of skills. Atm, working skills up to the nearest million mark, provided they're anywhere close to it. I'm mad at myself for allowing the lure of the eastern outfit to catch me. When loyalty points came out, I was 250 short of getting the JoT aura, which would help my dungeoneering immensely.
