Gold All Round

I thought this was pretty amusing; one of my friends went onto a website selling RuneScape gold. I’m assuming this is a live chat with someone on the website:

RuneScape Gold

Private Chat

More and more i find myself playing with Private Chat turned off. It started after the name changing updates, and half of my ‘friends’ seem to change their name when a new one becomes available. Some of the people on my friends list actually get offended when I have to ask them who they are, and how we met, because I very rudely haven’t made a note of their constant name changing.
Having a list consisting mainly of people you don’t results in the conversation being limited, of what skill you’re currently training.  I can’t remember anything about this person to talk about anything we might have done together. So i tend to avoid these moments by just keeping my chat off.

Especially while mining, I barely ever just watch the screen, and it helps not having to look out for friends PMing me. I can just click on the concentrated gold ore and let my inventory fill up while i watch Youtube Videos, films, or read RuneScape Blogs/Articles.

A great point made by Jek Nexus was to never take your friends on RuneScape too seriously.  They won’t be at your wedding, or your funeral. Which is absolutely true.

Meeting new people

I love to play this game, and love to meet new people around the world as i travel. Even just listening to people talking in the Living Rock Caverns can be more engaging than finding out what slayer task your friends are currently embarking on.

Especially with Skype opening up new doors. If i can have voice conversations with people while playing, why should i waste my time with small talk?
Let me know what you think. Are you a private chat off person, or do you prefer to keep you private chat on to see what people have to say?

Worthy Exp

The Skillers Union has finally hosted a weekly skill i can take part in! The bad news is I only came second place

I only lost by a measly 200k experience. The weekly exp chart is really well made which you can check out here: Farming Week

Not far to go in the mining department

Rough Mechanics

The Orb of Oculus will bring a whole new perspective to RuneScape Graphics, signatures, avatars and videos.

I really do think it should be much more userfriendly. Why can’t we use the mouse to click on how many degrees we wish to move or rotate the camera. The keyboard is so clumsy!

I still look forward to starting on my Machinima entry using the new orb

The Bot Spot

I’ve found my twin on RuneScape.
I call him, Mini-me!

My Twin

Strangely the Living Rock Caverns ALWAYS has a bot standing in this spot:

The Living Rock Cavern 'Bot-spot'

I’ve seen 4 different accounts standing here, it seems to be a differen’t account every day. But it will just stand there, for over 10 hours straight?

Obviously it must be doing something, or else the 5 minute inactivity would automatically log out the account. Maybe it’s a popular bot script which has gone wrong and leaves many people clicking on the wrong spot. But who would leave their account for over 10 hours?

It’s always exactly the same spot. And there is never more than one account here. Are all the accounts owned by the one person?

I don’t report them, just interested in what the hell they are doing?!

RsRadio Net

I’ve now affiliated with RsRadio.net. You can stream this radio directly from my RuneScape Community Toolbar.
I believe the admin, David, is looking for more Djs to keep the radio running as much as possible. If your interested there is a shoutbox on the website you can contact him.

I’ve also created a quick webpage for the toolbar where you can see the privacy statement and see the toolbar working before you download it. Hopefully this will clear up any concerns about the toolbar.

Thanks,

Justice

While mining there was some commotion about someone’s player moderator status being removed.

I noticed Only_Magic20 without a crown next to his name! It’s funny this should happen, only two days after i reported him and posted the screenshot on this blog of him saying:

Rude Player Moderator

Possibly my report had gone through, or he has slipped up elsewhere. Eitherway, i’m glad to see him without a crown. He was never a very nice person, and still isn’t.

I actually told him in-game that i reported him. So if it was me, all my text would have been in the evidence which was most likely why he said this out of the blue:

An Ex- P Mod does not like me

There was a bit of an argument started after i told him i also took a screenshot of him saying ‘BS’. He had many friends mining who defended him, but i was happy to see many people who agreed he was a very rude moderator.

The Ex-P Mod is getting mad

After calling me a jerk, he must have started feeling quite sorry for himself. I can’t say i feel sorry for him, if he wants to be rude to people there was no need for him to accept the moderator position in the first place.

Better luck next time

Quick n’ Easy

Isn’t it funny the things we can get away with on quickchat, that would most likely otherwise result in a mute?

I remember when quick chat first arrived to RuneScape, Jagex had a whole bunch of weird items you could say such as “mobile”.  Pretty strange since the word “mobile” has always been censored for personal safety.

P.s. I haven’t been able to get online the past few days due to BT Router problems, which are now fixed!

I probably freaked out my friend sayign these things, i didn’t tell him i was going to screenshot it !

Is it fair to give Player Moderators an in-game crown? Not only appointing more important than everyone else, but giving them an advantage in most situations.

Don’t get me wrong – I think Player Moderators are a great idea; having players assigned to helping the community and keep it safe. But the in-game crown giving them priority and almost leadership over all other players; is that fair?

You could say they have earned their position? But does it also earn them a right to speak to players who have Public chat turned off? An unfair advantage when trading? Being able to speak above other players and be noticed in clan chats?

To keep is fair i think Player Moderators should not have the in-game crown, keeping them equal to all other players, which they should be. The in-game rule breakers can still be muted by the Moderators, so it would keep things virtually the same. It would also mean they don’t get hounded constantly from people asking how to also become a moderator!

The crown can be seen as a point of help in most player’s eyes. But are player moderators any more help than normal players? In fact i remember a player asking a Moderator if skill levels affect Player Moderators being choosen. The Moderator said you should have all skills above 70, which is completely wrong. The knowledge base states that skills arn’t even considered in the selection process. But Mods are only human, just like the rest of us.  We don’t need a crown to see where help is waiting.

Knockin’ That Crown

I ventured into the mirkly lair of the unknown.

Well i say unknown, but i did infact know that the King Black Dragon lives there!

Slaying The King Black Dragon

I used the method of sticking close to the KBD and protecting from melee.

The Super Anti poisons are very useful for the poisonous breath the Dragon may unleash. Many KBD guides fail to note this.

King Black Dragon Equipment

I only manged to kill the dragon 4 times without banking. My supplies quickly ran dry, even with high stats.

After returning again fully equipped, my  War Tortoise died unexpectedly, forcing me to leave valuable supplies behind.

My total loot value was around 220k, not brining much profit, but it was a fun day out!
