Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: abdul ftw on September 02, 2008, 05:30:21 PM: I may have quit but I'm still following the RS updates,

Seems like the Promised update of the PK type combat is delayed even longer, evidently it wont be coming back anytime this month as it wasn't included in the September- Behind the Scenes, I'm guessing it's still under development and probably will take a long time, Better wish it soon! /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

I don't think it can encourage me to start playing the game again...I've beat the addiction!
Runescape is worse than Smoking... Well I've been 3 months without Runescape so I should be fine even if the updates come back!

Post by: abdul ftw on September 02, 2008, 06:38:19 PM: Yeah You're right, for example that Piece of rubbish Guthix fist or whatever they made it seem like a pk'ing type of thing was coming but all it was is a stupid Hide and seek game, Lvl 20's are ranked for this mini-game! and are one of the top too! Sucks IMO...

Post by: Depressed lover on September 02, 2008, 06:47:16 PM: yes fist of guthix is ....i think i am quoting someone here

[quote name=\'UNKOWN\']they made it seem like a pking game, but its really a hide and seek game![/quote]

Post by: abdul ftw on September 02, 2008, 07:08:25 PM: Too True! Hide and seek...used to love the game IRL but... IN PIXELS???? :s

Post by: Darkwatch on September 03, 2008, 03:52:13 PM: I'm starting to believe Depressed. Jagex lost a crap-load of players after BH was added. Now they're going to drag this out until they gain players back. Frown on them! /mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' />

Post by: abdul ftw on September 03, 2008, 05:02:03 PM: and to add to all this, they're Money grabbing idiots.
They added more money onto the membership fees and they made it so that you had to have a active subscription before the 18th of august, Thus making people that haven't fully quit yet, or are on the verge of quitting want to subscribe so they don't have to pay the expensive amount.
I have to say Jagex sure have a flair for business.

Post by: Depressed lover on September 03, 2008, 05:58:18 PM: before, i was one of those ones to be the 1 millions subscriptions, cause a few minutes after i joined by Pbp pin i got off i think it was realpoor.com, it was like 1 million members.... thats 5 million dollars a year!

Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: Depressed lover on September 04, 2008, 01:58:19 PM: yuay thanks for correcting me on that $5,000,000.00+ a month.
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: Darkwatch on September 04, 2008, 05:02:42 PM: $5M/Month? Lol, that's at the least. There's 135M acc's made. You think only 1/135 are members? I think not..
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: Depressed lover on September 04, 2008, 05:52:51 PM: that was like jan 2007 or was it june 2007...???? it was one of those, so its probably 1.5m members now that they said pking is coming back!

Post by: abdul ftw on September 08, 2008, 02:43:47 PM: Wow, I would do ANYTHING to pk again...I can't make cash thanks to Jagex..Ha!
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: Depressed lover on September 08, 2008, 06:04:36 PM: lol yay its a wate of time trying to merch
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: solidus snake on September 10, 2008, 05:17:02 PM: Recently they have been decreasing most of the main money earners. Whip drop rates where lowered and the same goes for gwd. I suspect that when they finally do release the pk-ing update its going to be worse then what ppl expect. Alot of ppl I know kidd themselves its just going to be the same as the old wild, but its blatently isn't.

I think the Clan Wars Update was something of a fool too:

quote from Jargex
'as the long-awaited Clan Wars update has arrived!'

Lol wtf, when were ppl so desperate for a clan wars update, they just seem to be string this along, I remember there was always reports of a mod saying that pking was coming back, but it was always rubbish.

Also not only do they get membership revenue but all of those ads they have in free members, and on the website.

Post by: abdul ftw on September 12, 2008, 03:52:35 PM: You have a point there my good sir, PK'ing will never be the same as the old one, Jagex know RWT's haven't left...so they're going to keep at this forever! QUIT BEFORE RUNESCAPE TAKES OVER YOUR LIFE /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: ___ on September 12, 2008, 07:42:12 PM: hmm, my guess is that the "PvP" worlds will come out on the anniversary of when they abolished the old wild, however that is just my opinion. btw, anyone remember the exact day, I'm thinking it was either december or november 10 or 11th...
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: abdul ftw on September 14, 2008, 05:47:19 AM: 12th of december 07
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: ___ on September 14, 2008, 12:51:05 PM: so I'd guess that could be an approximate date of when a possible "come-back" date might be?
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: abdul ftw on September 14, 2008, 02:46:12 PM: Yeah, You've got a point there but I doubt it will ever be back properly.
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: ___ on September 14, 2008, 03:24:07 PM: Yea, I doubt it will ever be the same, but the old wild wasn't perfect either, it was just what we were used too...
on another note, the new clan wars free for all is almost the exact as "old" wild, but with no drops. I went in yesterday and was like, "Wow what's the point?" But with the PvP having "monster-like drops" based on "impressiveness" of kill it should at least provide a source of income, rather then having to transfer from a main...

(wow, what a mouthful)
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: abdul ftw on September 17, 2008, 04:50:16 PM: hm, I guess you're right on that, I haven't tried out the new Clan wars, ever since I got 63 def on it I can't be bothered to even log on runescape...Last time logged in 91 days ago, Ow /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: Depressed lover on September 17, 2008, 05:11:57 PM: the new clan wars is awesome, just like old pking but u dont lose [censored]! lol
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: ___ on September 17, 2008, 07:01:08 PM: Depressed, I'm guessing that you weren't muck of a pk-er then, the whole point of wild was the way of making money, and the thrill of fighting to the death, losing your items as you go...
(not really the "thrill" but you get my point)
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: abdul ftw on September 20, 2008, 04:30:55 PM: Thrill for me was always killing someone and gettng there stuff /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
I remember low level range pking, Coif, leather top blue chaps blue vamps and 50 rune arrows /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> pking Mauls and the random glories now and again /sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />.

I remember staying up to late pk'ing LOL I guess that's all gone now... Plus the only income I ever knew of.
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: ___ on September 21, 2008, 04:20:07 PM: Ha, my source of income was transferring from my main, but come to think of it I don't remember how I even made money on my main... =Ãž
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
Post by: abdul ftw on September 21, 2008, 07:36:24 PM: lul, last night my cousin went on my main, he thought this clan wars thing was "way cool" as he described it then he went in lost my whip, d skirt and fury then tells me someone lured him...rofl.

RS = END FOR ME /sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />( I'll miss you Jagex
Title: Runescape PK'ing update
