Any RuneScapers here? : Othor Games

I may just have to try it out again for old times sake. I think I made it to around 40? I remember very specifically a large mansion in the middle of a big open area with trees. I loved playing back in the day, but magic was so ridiculously hard to get into with all of the runes, that I quit.

Has the magic system been overhauled at all?

About a month ago I made a new character. I only played for a week but man did I level fast. I think the game has gone much easier.

In that week I had 67 Cooking, 40 Atk, 40 Def, 40 Strength and most other F2P skills were over 40. I had full Rune (trimmed). Once I got all that I realised it was boring as I got too much good stuff so fast so I stopped playing as it wasn't rewarding.

Jagex made a lot of the training easy but they made the combat harder. Like Nex, I think she came out in 2010 actually. She is level 1001 and can easily destroy any player if they are not ready yet. Also, got the Dominion Tower now. That is a fun thing to do cause it allows you to re-fight quest bosses but with a twist.. If you play ladder mode, you can get special effects that helps you or cripples you.. Some of the good effects would be a healing one, which is like free food basicly and stun monster which will make the enemy randomly stunned and can't do stuff for a few second.. Some of the bad stuff is weakened defense, you start with half of your health, poisoned, diseased, random freeze (Really annoying), etc..

I have to say Dominion tower is prolly my favorite minigame. They also added a special boss to. I can't remember her name but she is like a level 500-something Magma Dragon and has a lot of special moves like she can fly around the arena, making it impossible to hit her, and do dive bombs making rows of fire in that area. She can also set half of the arena on fire. (The fire does constant 50s, I think).

There is also this one special match that is hard to do.. "No Nomadness No More" <-- This match is basicly, you fight Nomad.. 2ce in a row with only one inventory...

I am rambling now..

I didnt spend much time fighting bosses. The only one I cared to do was by myself KBD. I could kill him up to 20+ times before I had to bank. I spent most combat activity doing slayer. I made a fortune doing slayer tasks. I'd be doing slayer today if I was still playing. Before I quit I had nearly 19 mil slayer xp. And on rare occasions I would do some pvp but never put any real effort into it.

As someone who's main combat skill is magic, I can say no. It's not been overhauled at all.

The thing with magic is it gets WAY easier when you become a member, because suddenly you have so many options for getting runes and training xp really easily. I've got 68 right now and I could easily knock it up to 69 in about 45-60 minutes of the Mage Training Arena.

And when you can craft your own Law and Nature runes you no longer have to fret over every little teleport costing you rare and valuable items.

The magic system was always awful. I just grinded it (like every other skill) to 99 never to ever use it again. The only useful thing in the whole skill was barrage and that was only ever needed for PvP.

I feel old, I started playing Runescape about 10 years ago. :/ I played it for a couple of years and then quit. I believe the version of RS I played is now called "Runescape Classic"

Magic in RuneScape has a lot of usefulness. Lunar Magic has a lot of useful spells like curing diseases on your crops and so on. And Astrals are very easy to get. I have like 10,000 of them.

Barrage is good for combat, that is a no brainer. Also, alching is useful on certain slayer tasks since money has its own spot now.

I solo'd KBD a lot until I finally got his head on the wall of my house.

Nice, I dont know how many times I killed him but I never got one of those. :dry:

How hard is that fight anyways? I've been working up to the KBD, but none of the guides out there have anything for...mages.

I mean except for the one that says "Magic? What are you stupid?"

Don't use magic on Scale-Dragons. They have good resistance against magic. Only dragons you wanna mage are the Metal ones.

I used to play the free version but quit because I found myself only selling cow hides to people for money to buy the coolest gear. I got a lot of money from doing that and just kept racking it up. I finally got annoyed when I started getting better armor since no one would leave me alone and kept asking to trade this armor for that armor. Just seemed like a medieval fashion show game to me.

Eh. I prefer to kill Glacors. They can drop boots that are about 10M-20M a pair. And Glacors are very easy to kill. I kill about 18 of them per inventory.

True, but I'm pretty sure I am to low of a level to fight those. I kind of miss runescape, I won't play without mems though and I am already subscribed to SWTOR.

Yeh. You gotta do a Grandmaster quest to unlock them and they are level 450. But the good thing is, they don't do much damage as long you use prayer and switch correctly. They use Mage and Range back and forth.. In a cool way. Their arms kinda looks like frozen guns and the right is magic while the left is range. They are also very weak to fire magic.. I hit around 600s on them. So.. Easy killing I say.

As for playing again, wait. Jagex might have to sell RS to Blizzard and Blizzard will make it 100% free.

NO NOT BLIZZARD! They would ruin it I know they would, then pump the mems price up to 15 dollars a month.

Nah. Blizzard already said they would make it free due to the money they make from WoW but they wouldn't update RS or rarely update it. I think the only updates RS will get, after Blizzard buys it, is Quest Updates. You know, to finish all the questlines Jagex started. Then, they would just leave RS alone.

Would have liked them to stop updating RS back before I quit, after looking at it again recently, it looks awful.

Idm rs. It is fine with me and some updates they make I love a lot, specially quests. I am a huge quester.

So you've said. I meant graphically though, the new armours look awful.

Eh. Some of the new armors I don't like. I like the New Guthans and Dragon armor though. And that the gear I prefer to use.

Actually, I'll agree with that. The new Barrows stuff looks better, but idk, I liked it best around 2009-10.

Well.. Personally, Idc too much for armor as long my outfits are not ruined for me. What I care more are quests and minigames.

That is lame, I would rather Runescape get shut down than have it never get updated or changed.

I think change is bad for RuneScape. Updates- Good, most- I hate new graphics, it's just how I feel I loved the old, sketchy graphics.

Not like you have a call with what happens with RuneScape anyhow :stare:
