I know it’s been a while since i posted an article on TRB and i thought that this might be the right time. With the new HD graphics update and all the changes that Runescape has concured this year. As you guys might know, or maybe you probably dont. You probably don’t but yeah, im the creator of RuneSociety and as an admin, im really starting to get the impression that Jagex is slowly killing off RuneScape Help. Why? Well, im not completely certian of course, and this article is mostly alot of my opinion instead of fact, but i think it will really make you think. Over the course of the years, RuneScape Help has been a driving factor in the growth of RuneScape. Even if someone doesn’t play the game itself, they would join a forum like RuneSociety and just simply hang out with the crowd and eventually get into the game at least a bit. So lets talk about some of the actions Jagex has taken and are taking to try and possibly destroy 3rd party help.
Runescape Addiction - My Story
Many people believe that MMORPGs such as Runescape and World Of Warcraft are more addicting than most drugs. I am a strong believer of this, although it is a lot easier to break a computer game addiction than it is to break a drug addiction, this post is to illustrate the addicting, and lively effects the game had on my life and the problems it has caused me. From buying and selling Runescape black market goods, to getting pk’d in the wilderness. My Runescape experience unleashed to the world in this exclusive post. I know The Runescape Blog has had articles about the addicting aspects of Runescape in the past, but this is ‘My Story’.
In a small unknown town a young computer nerd sat and waited for his teacher to arrive to class. What another kid in this young, future Runescape addict’s class said next, would be the birth of an addiction causing loss of time, life, money, and energy.
Runescape Economy - The Gold Coin
Submitted by Stasik50
My friends and me were once talking about earning GP, when I started wondering if it was possible for the value of the Gold Coin to decrease like the American Dollar. The more money in the sytem, the less that currency is worth, right? After a few minutes of pondering, I realized that this was not possible because the big “J” has implemented a few factors into the game that do not allow this to be possible.
The first one is probably obvious. The players with lots of gold quit and when they do, the money pretty much leaves the system because the coins will never go to another player who might be able to use it Of course, they may give it out in the Falador Party Room, but lower-leveled players leave the game even more often than the more higher ones. The second one is the one most players might not suspect…Summoning. “What do you mean?” you might ask. Where do the Spirit Shards and Pouches come from? Players can’t make them, and the only way you can actually acquire them is to buy from NPCs. Well where do the Coins go when you buy the shards and pouches? They get destroyed. And the amount of Shards and Pouches needed to get to 99 Summoning is 120 Million gp! The amount is never achieved by most players.
That’s all I could think of for now, and hopefully I have answered some of your guy’s questions out there :).
The road till maxing out Runescape
Hopefully by telling you about how I spent my 6,5 years playing this game I can give you a better insight in how things used to be and how they changed. Also showing you how it all happened for me, off course I realize that everyone will have a completely different story to tell and everyone plays Runescape in their own way. If it sounds like a bragging story sometimes this isn’t my intention at all. I am afraid that it will be pretty self centered because I don’t remember a whole lot about years ago only what I was doing at that time. But I hope you will enjoy reading what I’ve been up to the last 6,5 years.
House Parties are fun!
Good day one and all!
It certainly has been some time since my last article. I am terribly sorry for the unexpected hiatus! However, I am back and I am here with a present.
Speaking of presents, I want to present a very special presentation that will hopefully present to me some very presentable responses from you!
I am very happy to announce that The Runescape Blog has made its first Vlog (Video Blog!) and we are possibly the first Runescape-centered blog to do so! It is quite a large video, around thirty-five minutes long and i have embedded it below. Enjoy!
