Hello once again RuneScape Fans!

Or should I say Addicts? I just wanted to let you know that I will not post your comments with your name (rs or otherwise) unless you tell me it's okay. I take your privacy seriously... I know that I wouldn't want to have someone pm-ing me out of the blue to ask me for stuff...

Speaking of which... I bought a Black Square Shield (h5) (see my previous post...) and all was good with the world, birds were singing, children were playing, and angels were blowing thier trumpets...

Untill the evil one raised from the ground telling me "leave this place mortal"

I knew I had 'em... I knew I could take 'em... I was so sure... I gambled this:

Full Rune (Full Helm, Rune Plate, Rune Plate Legs, Rune Longsword), Ruby Ring, Amulet of Strength, Gold Gloves, 4k gold, a bunch of runes (including laws, chaos, etc)... and my Black (h5)... I also had about 3 or 4 lobbies so I was confident that i'd be able to get 'em.

I've killed many a shade in my time and have never been killed by a shade... Untill finally... I died. With all of that on... I left with about 8 hp... I left and then came back... the shade was still there, waiting for me... I ran away again... and it killed me...

Bummer eh?

I did get to keep my Full Rune. I had the kite in the bank... My good friend had an extra longsword and helped me out... As for the Black Square (h5) Kite Shield... it's gone...

A female perspective.....finally!

I have been meaning to post on here for a while and never seemed to get around to it. Whenever I had some free time, I wanted to spend it in the game! But I find that today I have some time and so here it is, my first post. I promise not to let so long go by before I post again.

So let me tell you a little bit about myself (or rather my rs character). Obviously, I am a girl and I am a member. I've been playing rs since about March and I really enjoy it. There are times when I like it more than others, but I think we all feel that way. Sometimes you have really good days in rs and others are not so good. Recently, I had a very good day. I finally finished dragon slayer! Isn't it funny how sometimes you dread something and when you finally do it, it turns out not to be so bad? That is how it was with dragon slayer, I finally went to do it and I loaded my inventory with lobbies..... Guess what? I only used maybe a third of them! And I probably ate more than I needed to. Oh well. I think from now on I won't wait so long to do things I'm worried about. It was great to achieve one of my goals: All non-member quests completed! I also raised my combat from 53 to 56 in the course of doing the quest. Not so bad at all!

There are a ton of things that I want to share with you all, but I am going to try not to put too much in this first post. I gotta leave you wanting more, right?! I think right now I will share a little bit with you about how it is to be a REAL girl in rs. I say real because you may not know this but many of the "female" characters on rs are actually boys pretending to be girls! Kind of crazy, huh? Apparently they do this to try and get free stuff from you guys! So beware :) What does that mean for those of us who are really girls? I'm not sure to tell you the truth. But I do think it is different for girls in rs. For one thing, I can't tell you how many times a day someone asks me to be their gf (girlfriend, if you were wondering)! I get followed around and basically harassed A LOT! Now that I am in the hiscores, I find I get a lot more random messages from other players. Some of them are asking me to be there gf- now these people may never have even seen my character! That brings up the main thing about this whole gf/bf thing in rs. Do people honestly think that I AM my character? Our characters are a reflection of ourselves, sure. Maybe they have some things that we wish we had or they do things we'd never do in real life. But the point is that we are NOT our characters!

Maybe this whole gf/bf thing is just a way for people to make a connection in the game. Perhaps that connection is stronger than ones with other people on your friends list, maybe not.... But I always wonder about those people you see in the banks or other populated areas who say "need bf/gf" or "looking for bf/gf" over and over and over again. Somehow it just seems so... desperate. Maybe they are just lonely? There is no doubting that rs is a great way to meet people from all walks of life. I've meet people from all over the world who I know I would never meet in real life. And I like to think I have met some great friends, truly wonderful people- Tom being one of the best (BTW, Tom one of us is going to have to tell the crazy story behind how we met!).

So now, I have met all of you and that seems like a good place to end this post. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you and perhaps getting to know you better too. Maybe next time I will talk about houses, being a member, or who knows?! Feel free to leave comments and let me know what you want to hear! Until then, happy scaping!

Runescape Updates

I'll post a new pic soon of my current stats... I have been out of town for about two weeks. While out of town, still trying to get some game time in. But I'm back...

I love the joys of a good deal... and even better... I love selling something for better than what I got it for... ah... the joys of merchanting...

Okay... I'm standing in the bank and hear someone calling out "Selling rune scimmy", so I ask how much for the rune scimmy. He tells me 17k. I'm thinking: SWEET!!! Good deal right? This is the great part... Someone walks in saying "Buying rune scimmy"; so I go over to him and trade... he offers 27k!!! SOOOOOOOOO NICE!!! That was one of my finer moments while merchanting... This of course doesn't make up for my not so great moments (but we all do that merchanting right?)

Around that same time I saw some guy trying to trade a Black Kite Shield(h5) to someone with a Sara Kite... of course the guy with the Sara didn't trade (neither would I). I asked the guy how much he wanted it for. He told me to offer. I told him 10k. He agreed... I went into the bank to get the money... after we were in the trade menu he said "how about 15k?" I said 13k... He said ok. Sweet!!! I just don't know how much they go for for real... I know I got the shield for cheap. I've looked at the runescape site for their opinion on how much it should go for... But nothing. I've even googled it and turned up with a site where a guy is auctioning it... It went for 100k! I've seen them being sold for anwhere from 60 to 100k!!! YESYESYES!!!!

I've reached one of my goals (I don't think I wrote it down... But I've been working on it):

Level 40 Range

I've also reached my Million GP mark too!

I'm in the crafting guild so I can check that off...

And I'm still in the top million players!

Greetings!

Just a friendly hello to our new(est) writer Ryan! I'm still in the process of getting another writer on the blog (I think she's a mite bit intimidated...) and I hope she starts writing soon!!!

BTW... have you noticed the influx of macroers or autofishers while fishing lobsters? DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! More on that later...

'Till then!

The Fally Massacre in Runescape 6-6-06 World 111

I really don't have much to say about this, except it's a sad thing... I couldn't imagine loosing my phat... I made my money the honest way... mining, smithing, selling logs, crafting... and loosing all of that... Saras, dragon, stuff like that...

Man...

In the video you can see player mod monk1313 telling everyone to bank thier stuff...

Here is the video... It takes a little while to load, so press play, pause it, and let it load. Then press play again.



Here is an interview with Durial321 one of the key pkers in the "Fally Massacre"

AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I got it! I'm up in the top million in the Hiscores!!! wooooo-hoooooooo!!! Okay... what's my rank? Not telling you. :-P

Hehe... I'm don't want to disclose my name at this time... having people pm me out of the blue asking for money or other items...

Well... I figured that I'd work on Ranging to get my lowest stats up a lot higher... I'm up to about level 24 or so... not too bad for starting yesterday morning.

I've been using a short bow (up to level 5) using rapid fire (then going up to oak bow) with bronze arrows. My max damage has been about 3's so far... :-(

I've bought Iron, Steel, and Mith arrows too... we'll see what becomes of that.

I've been getting irritated at people taking the arrows that I drop... I know that these are just bronze arrows... It just gets a little expensive having to buy arrows. It's also hard to get as many arrows as I need to continue leveling up...

Okay... that's the end of that rant... what's my rank? Well... I'm below 997,000 but above 998,000

Not too shabby... the thing that makes me upset is... I checked it this morning and was a little higher ranking. Every second that goes by that I'm not playing I drop in rank a little bit... Let's hope I'm up there by the end of today...

Oh well... I won't be on too much next week... I'm going to Boston for a business trip. All of this will have gone to pot anyways...

What are your goals (accomplished or not)/asperations? Go ahead and leave a comment and I'll post it!

Congratulations!

Not a new scam... But I was impressed nonetheless...

Jmembership8: Congratulations!
Me: Yeah?
Jmembership8: You have won a 5 year membership for runescape!
Me: Oh yeah? Lemme guess... i have to give you my password and location...
Jmembership8: Not your location.
Me: Ah... I see... and you're not trying to scam me?
Jmembership8: No. I'm giving out free memberships. I am an ex staff member of jagex.
Me: Nah... I don't think so
Jmembership8: Look, you're just wasting my time. I'm trying to give out memberships and you are just wasting my time.
Me: Okay... If you're an ex staff member of jagex, what are the jagex mod names?
Me: Tell me that names of the jagex mod names now
Me: Tell me or i'll report you
Me: 3
Me: 2
Me: 1
Me: Okay... you have been reported

The only reason I was impressed was because the person could spell. Most of the time when people are trying to scam me they don't spell correctly...

Now understand one thing... this guy saw me wearing full rune. Probably fishing swordies and lobbies... nah... I don't care who you are... you ain't getting my password. Not even you grandma... Sorry grandma, I still love you though.
