Insecurity

Sat, 11 Aug 2007 10:00:00 GMT

Author's Notes:
Though I have had a handful of friends that have departed RS for other MMOs, like EQ and WoW, they've only suggested that I try the other games. If I say "no, that's not my thing", they leave it be. I consider myself fortunate....

H4CK3R5 (Hackers)

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 19:00:00 GMT

At some point in our lives, whether or not it's been within RuneScape, we've had some sort of unwelcome intruder come into our computers, gather important/sensitive information, and then leave our computer in disarray. More often than not, they're seen as malicious and also seen as the evil doers of the Internet. Well let me tell you all that this is simply not true. Here in this article, I will shed some light on some common misconceptions ab...

Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm [BtS]

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 02:00:00 GMT

All right, I admit it. I'm never going to be a professional seer. Last month, when I made my predictions, I managed to get exactly none of them right. Yet, some of the minor concepts were interesting, and I hope that while I'm not the most factual source of information, I can at least be entertaining....

Super Energy Pots: The Price We Pay

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Author's notes: Hi, this is Lime Mercury, a very old and semi-dignified player of Runescape, who is well versed in everything from peaches to penguin lore. This is my first article, with many more hopefully to come, and I'm glad you have all decided to tune in and have a look-see....

The Bonds that Tie Us

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 20:00:00 GMT

At some point in this game, you will have to make a friend with someone else. It could be temporary, such as a seller or buyer, or permanent; I have friends on my friendlist that have been with me since I was a level 21 back in Classic. Along with my old friends, I've made a handful at the various communities that I've visited and managed throughout the years, various clans and various other random encounters. But, there are also some people o...

The era of rares - has it come to an end?

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 16:00:00 GMT

I think a lot of people consider it about time that I write about the rares market again and rightly so. It's been a long time ago that I last posted up-to-date graphs of the rares prices and my own thoughts about the overall rares market. Since rares have shown a completely different price fluctuation over the last 8-10 months than they used to show in the past, I figure quite a few people want to know what the possible causes are for this. I...

What's Your Drug?

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 15:00:00 GMT

There have been plenty "what are you addicted to?" type discussions on forums and websites, but I'd like to also have some discussion about how in general so many people are controlled by something. For me, this is how I came to my own realization. Last week I watched Requiem for a Dream, a great movie. A driving point in it is how so many people have some outside force in their life, some type ...

Lions and Tigers and Werewolves, Oh My! [BtS]

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 12:00:00 GMT

My, what a month May was. As promised, we had a quest, a huge graphics update, and a full new feature. I'll just admit it now. My predictions last month sucked. Feel free to ridicule me in the comments. At least I didn't say a new skill was coming out! Overall, nobody can argue that Jagex delivered a lot of content last month, my personal opinions on the quality be damned!...

Staking Champions or Gambling Addicts?

Wed, 30 May 2007 23:00:00 GMT

Browsing through forums, checking out Runescape videos or from in game experience we sometimes discover champion stakers and the massive fortunes they have acquired through their craft. They boast their victories for all to see, their spoils including gold pieces and items that would take the average Runescaper months or years of hard work to acquire. It is well known that staking is the fastest way to make (and lose) money....

The Children of RuneScape Aren't Our Future?

Sun, 27 May 2007 18:00:00 GMT

I've seen the rants from the RuneScape Official forums all the way across the spectrum, and it hasn't changed. Everywhere I look, there some sort of post along the lines of, “I'm starting to get annoyed with dumb kids who play RuneScape and totally ruin the game”. Yep, that's right, I'm talking about the youth in RuneScape; those that are between 9 and 14. But why is it that people seem to resent children that play this game so? The answer...
