Good and Bad

Today i uploaded the long awaited blogging video:

(p.s. my accent is a little rough… sorry if you struggle to understand me)

This video seems a little rushed. I’m sorry for the delay however I’ve been extremely busy in real life preparing to start college. I’m surprised i even managed to get this video finished!

This brings me on to the bad news. I will be unable to log into RuneScape while at college. This means i’ll have to take a break until the next holidays :(

I’ll still be able to blog, twitter and use youtube, just no online gaming!

So i’ll hopefully see you all soon, thanks for reading!

I was also told about Chessy018, leader of one of the first ‘merchanting clans’ in RuneScape. She has over 1k santa hats which i believe she has earned ‘unfairly’ by decieving other players with unreached goal prices and early dumps.

Today santa hats rose by 970k. This means a total profit of 970M for Chessy018 today. This is absoultely insane and totally defeats the purpose of the game.
Something needs to be done.

  1. Yeah I went through a 2 month period where I couldn’t do in game stuff for my blog (college as well) hang in there :) you’ll do fine. And GREAT JOB on the vid you should be proud its doesn’t feel like it was rushed (as in made before its ready). There was a lot of info in the vid and you did a great job in condensing it.

    The problem is, The Grand Exchange it creates an easy way to buy and sell anything, that is an easy way to get a hold of a large amount of items like santa hats so the only thing that can be done is the Grand Exchange being removed. I’m not sure everyone is getting richer and richer and the poor are getting poorer and poorer. Something does need to be done no doubt.

    Hello, im going to start blodding so thank you for that, about chessy018 with the 1k santa hats, she should be stopped. Because she has such a large quantity of santa hats theres hardly any left for others, and this xmas i do wish to buy one after my goal of 99 runecrafting (or if i get close to their)

    So something should be done, a player should not be aloud to own that many discontinued items.

    I saw you saying something about Chessy’s Santa Hats. I just want to say, that it’s not really fair of you saying she got them by so called “scamming” with her clan chat. I can assure you, that she had those Santas long before she made her clan chat a merchanting one. It’s true, she maybe has some extra Santas since she created merchanting clan, but most of them were bought long before that. And I also want to say, that she is not merchanting with her clan. She is just picking items. Actually, she is not even able to merchant with her clan (or any other) due to 6 piles of max cash in her Grand Exchange box.

    Other than that, very nice blog, keep it up =)

    Hey Icey, your video looked really interesting so I started a blog account . :) Your absolutely right about Chessy018 she is completely dominating the rs economy and something should be done to limit her power in controlling it. For example there should be a maximum amount of gp being offered at any given time in the grand exchange. Such as you can’t put in over 100m worth of gp into the grand exchange at any given moment. The idea wouldn’t completely stop her(well anyone with 14bil gp) but it would surely be a road block in that luxury life of hers. :)

  25. hi dudes

    my mother just found an online shop. the shop is selling wide range of discounted high fashion shoes. the store is listing the merchandise with almost 65% savings. my nephew really wants to get a pair before the weekend but not confident that order will be brought in right on time. I am thinking to purchase those prada shoes but not sure yet.

    just urged to share with you bros.

    thnx everyone.

  26. Hi!
    You may probably be very interested to know how one can make real money on investments.
    There is no initial capital needed.
    You may commense earning with a sum that usually is spent
    on daily food, that’s 20-100 dollars.
    I have been participating in one project for several years,
    and I’m ready to let you know my secrets at my blog.

    Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.

    P.S. I earn 1000-2000 per day now.

  28. Hello everyone!
    I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
    I’m with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
    Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

  29. I’d like to suggest my blog as an example of what a blog without only skill levels looks like.

    http://silvertaler.blogspot.com

    I almost never made a post about skill levels. Mostly because I don’t play for skill levels, my priority by FAR is having fun at questing so it gives such a blog, but anyway it’s a blog without skilling achievements. Not many people read my blog though, even with all the work I put into it, it ends being more of a personal blog for myself to look at the past and remember old times.

    Cheers.

  30. Hello, I am a webmaster of a game related site, most specifically Runehq. Your site offers great content to your readers and I believe it is a valuable resource. Recently I have contacted many other webmasters of health related sites, and we have created a “group.” This group links to one another’s, which increases our sites traffic and prestige. I was wondering if you would like to join this “group”, and if you are interested send me an email at uvabasketboy@aol.com. Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon!
