Its been a long 3 years since my friends and i started this blog and we have been very successful in recruiting articles from various sources. However regretfully i am placing The RuneScape Blog on sale, its time for a new crew to run this incredible blog and bring it some success. If you are interested in purchasing or renting TRB please use the contact us form and send us inquiries.

Thank you.

I quit Runescape almost 4 years ago, but i actively play a role in the Runescape economy. How? I own several rares and i often make sure to login and make some money merchant-ing. However, i’ve noticed that from October, 2009 up till today we have seen a steady increase in the prices of rares. Why? I’m not quite sure, usually around this time of the year the rares plummet in prices but we have yet to see that type of trend in the game. Whats even more interesting to hear is that party-hat’s have stayed pretty consistent in prices while Halloween masks and Santa hats have risen tremendously.

Is it possible that the prices of these items are dependent upon the intervention of long time merchants like myself? or is it a natural supply and demand issue?

Hey TRB readers, i know your all probably wondering why TRB is no longer updated on a frequent basis, and we’re very sorry for this. Many of the original staff members that signed on to bring this blog to where it is today have left due to real life situations and so forth. The site however is still active and still has alot of potential, so i am looking for a new motivated Head Blogger that could get this blog on the road. If you are interested please submit a resume through the “Apply for Blogging Position” button on top.

Over the course of the last 6-7 years, the emergence of MMORPG’s and online gaming has been immense. Many many games have come out, and while some became very successful, others ended up becoming wasted money. Either way, the games that did survive the initial onslaught of bad reviews and criticisms by skeptics became a battleground for players. Everyone is racing and battling to reach the top. Some form guilds to help each other, others grind all day and night to reach their goals. As you can see, this becomes a very painful task. Imagine wanting to reach level 80 in world of warcraft, but yet you feel like it takes forever. How about when you want to buy that party hat or new third age armor?

Don’t worry, its crossed all our minds at one point or another. So do hacks and dupes really exist? I know from personal knowledge that less than a year ago, botting was a very prevalent.  Players began looking for RuneScape cheats or RuneScape hacks. Some did have luck cheating in games such as RuneScape, which lead to even bigger ambitions, you can read about an example in our other article about the dark side of runescape cheating. Let me say that bots did in fact exist at one point, but now selling gold in RuneScape is nearly impossible. All the major runescape gold sellers have now shut down, but this cost jagex many many players.

There are however legitimitate ways to leveling up and obtaining items, many players began to look for RuneScape tips, RuneScape money guides, RuneScape quest guides. Many of these players prevailed and these are the types of players that didn’t get banned. So to sum up this article, bots and dupes DID exist at one point.

Well as many of you have noticed by now, we are not as frequent in putting up new posts on TRB as we used to be. We apologize for the haitus and would like to bring out a message. There is currently a great demand for good bloggers for The RuneScape Blog, we do not have enough people to write blog posts and we would greatly appreciate it if anyone interested would please submit their blogger application using the “Blog For Us” button found at the top.

Thank You.
