Also two more things - I just tried the HTML5 beta again on a machine with 8GB RAM, everything else the same as my normal laptop (aside from a smaller screen - 15 inch, my normal laptop has a 17 inch screen) and it's still pretty unplayable - it took the game a good 5 minutes to load.
Looks like only players with souped-up gaming towers/laptops will be able to play the HTML5 game for a while. Sad, really.
I also noticed something odd, going back to the hiscores thing. In order to access OSR, you have to be a runescape member...but there are more players listed in the OSR hiscores(708,293) than there are in the RS2 hiscores (604,650). Which means...that not all members are on the RS2 hiscores list? Or what? My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.

Drygores are still rare drops, and if you look at the ge charts on them, all of the values have been rising since the update that lowered his defense. Which would seem that either they are not dropping as frequently, or players are holding on to them/not selling them.
Yes, but they are still lower priced than the Ascension Crossbow.
Drygore longsword set - 191.5M
Drygore mace set - 153.6M
Drygore rapier set - 173.6M
Ascension set - 217.6M
Of course the price of Ascensions haven't stabilised yet, but it seems it'll be at a higher price than current.

The Ascension crossbow - the OoA is high level content - why would they make the bow easy to obtain for mid-level players? Especially as it carries a lvl 90 ranged requirement to use? You have to have 81 slayer just to battle the weakest monster in there.
You misunderstand - by making dragon crossbow a requirement, it drives up its price, meaning that level 60 rangers have to either pay more, or find cheaper alternatives - like sticking with rune crossbows until level 70. Lol I find it ironic that level 60 ranged weapons are more expensive than level 70 ranged weapons.

(And with vorago only dropping 2 Tectonic energy at a time, and the lowest piece of armour requiring 14 pieces, it doesn't seem that unequal.)
Yes, but won't this be a problem in PvP? At least, that is what I gather from the Vorago forum thread.

Lol 710,020 in OSR Hiscores, but 606,378 in EoC Hiscores. My guess is that the OSR website is slow to purge any bots that were nuked. Runescape Forumers Discord Server

At the Slayer Tower, however, things were slightly different.
On a level 88 Bloodveld I splashed 2 out of 6 times. On a level 98 Bloodveld I splashed 6 out of 13 times on the first one, and then 2 out of 8 times on the second one.
Using a steel scimitar, however, I splashed roughly 60% on a level 88 Bloodveld (tried this out on my Slayer Task on Friday.) And my non-splashes were all below 400 damage each.
I went and tried that with the same kit as before; using melee I did have 2-3 splashes. However, as Bloodvelds are weak to ranged (specifically thrown weapons), when I switched to first the starfury then the white stag, again with mithril arrows, no splashes, and the majority of my hits were above 400 damage. I think my ttl combat lvl might be higher than yours, though - mine is 179.

I might have to check back on this, but thinking logically, why would you need to fetch a talisman to Sedridor and Aubury if the whole of Gielinor already knew how to Runecraft?
AHA! I found it - the transcript page from the historical rune mysteries quest. And you were right about it - but that's weird because it doesn't jive with the lore from "A True and Concise History of the Discovery of the Runes." So...the lore was conflicted before the updates? Weird.

I don't deny that PvM is a big part of gameplay.
And so are D&D's.
Heck, if you look at the requirements list for the trimmed comp cape, a good portion of them are there. And there's a whole subforum dedicated to just D&Ds, for pete's sake. And clans.

They're D&Ds . They are just a way to train a skill! In the case of God Statues, you don't spend more than 5 minutes per month on it. These are just three out of the dozens of activities you can choose to do when you log in.

Eagles Peak: I go to that area mainly to fish Monkfish. Previously I used Fairy Rings. Now you have that lodestone, which means players can just skip Fairy Tale II! And it doesn't encourage players to check out that area either (i.e. do Eagles' Peak quest) so what you said regarding reviving dead areas doesn't make sense.
Ahem. Piscatoris hunting area. Summoning obselisk. Piscatoris mine, one of the three places in RuneScape where three iron rocks can be mined without moving. Phoenix lair. All within that area. Again I remind you that just because you don't like it/don't do it doesn't make it insignificant.
And another method alternative to fairy rings to this area already existed since 2008: the unlimited teleports the spirit kyatt provides. That didn't affect Fairy Tale II.
And honestly, the Fairy Tale set of quests isn't *just* about the fairy ring network. Not to dismiss it, because it is significant, but there's so much more to the quest series than that! The magic secauters and magic watering can for farming. Access to zanaris. Access to the cosmic rc altar. A sandpit that is the closest to a bank in the game. A slayer master. The Evil Chicken's Lair. Main/home access to Impetuous Impulses. The closest bank to the water altar.
And what I meant about revival of dead content is things like the eagle transportation network, which was rarely used before the update. The gnome flier network, which seemed to be infrequently used (now an easy access via Al Kharid). Relleka, where I rarely saw people except on world 60/penguin hunting days or the once-per-year event with the wolf; Burthorpe, which between the remodel in Jan 2012 and the lodestone network rework in March 2012, was mainly populated with newbies, but nowadays even on world 30 (2000+ ttl level required to access) there's usually at least 15-20 people in the area of the lodestone at any given time. Etc, etc. My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.
