Closing

Time has judiciously progressed and Runescape is no longer a hobby which I can engage in.. Those of you who I played with probably notice that I have left the game derelict to the extreme.

There is even a new skill out (I've heard) and I have not had the time to check it out. School, work, friendships, college decisions, and many more things have all taken a higher priority leaving little room for playing a game such as Runescape which is quite demanding of one's time.

I don't regret for one minute the time that I spent playing; which may I add, is quite a lot. I learned life lessons regarding many important topics through playing Runescape; I have made friends and interacting with numerous amounts of people. The time was a fun time. However, for the time being it is most definitely over.

Thank you everyone who made Runescape such an awesome game. I had an awesome time playing with you guys :-)


The Runescape Adventure Closing Post-

Still chugging!

I was hesitant about writing a second post. I wanted surety that I was actually dedicated to be playing Runescape again. It has been well over 12 days now. I am sure.

A lot has happened during these past twelve days. I maxed out my attack skill while training at the dagannoths. Two levels were not that hard to tackle. Runetinal (I hope I'm spelling that right bro lol with all these name changes now its hard to keep track ;) and Matt showed up to celebrate the final hit to level 99 attack. They both were kind enough to accompany me to purchase my cape of achievement.

While trying to purchase the cape Rune and I made complete fools of ourselves. We both knew that the Master of Attack was located in the Warriors Guild. However we were not at all sure where. We ran around for a few minutes laughing at ourselves and searching frantically for the fellow. In the end we found him near the entrance which was the last place we looked. Haha, good times =)

Last night my good friend Kjarqu and I went to fight the King Black Dragon; Darbeh also tagged along. When we arrived we found a few extremely nooby archers and an odd assortment of other players. The majority of the players quickly left due to the fact that Kjarqu and I were getting all the kills. Only two nooby archers remained. Kjarqu being the kind guy that he is let them join our CC. After a good many kills we convinced them to leave. And then it happened. We got a Draconic Visage! Kjarqu got the drop. It was pretty sweet. Darbeh and I now have a load of loot share potential.

In the regards to training I am currently working on defense. Having already maxed out the other two melee skills I feel the need to complete the trio. I may do a few quests here and there. I recently finished the quest entitled Fremenick Isles; it being such an old quest I was quite embarrassed that I had never done it.

I'll upload screen shots when I get home.

Fun times.

It is indisputably laughable that my last three posts in a row were all posts with the general purpose of stating something along the lines of, "I am returning from a long break of runescape, Heck yes I'm back!"

I haven't been steady in regards to my Runescape playing by any means. However, I have been playing the last few days. It has been fun catching up with old friends. I'm not making any promises as to if I'm going to keep playing since the past three times I have not upheld my decision.

I applied to join an old friends (kicky's and lime's) GDWS clan. Hopefully I will be able to make some trips down into the treacherous dungeons with them. My past memories of God Wars trips are very nice; I had great times killing bosses down there.

I have been training attack at my old faithful spot, the dagannoths under the lighthouse. I am 65k experience away from 98 attack at the time of writing this. All training I do in the near future will almost certainly be based around combat since this aspect of the game as always been my favorite.

A return trip?

I am returning from what has been a rather long break from Runescape. I feel poorly about not leaving a message here about my hiatus; oh well, not much can be done about that now.. I had intended on quitting Runescape for good. However there is a rather uncanny saying among Runescapers that goes along the lines of, "You can never quite quit Runescape for good. You always find your way back." I have found this saying to be true time and time again.

I am extremely excited to start playing Runescape again. Today I renewed my membership and logged on for a little bit and talked to some good friends who I missed during my break. During the short time I was on I noticed several small updates and tweaks that impressed me.

Perhaps one of the updates that excites me the most is not technically released yet. The "Adventure Log" is in beta form and was accidently leaked a few days ago. The Log contains several interesting stats about a Runescape player's career. One of the key stats is total time spent in game. I found that I have spent a total of 77 days and 13 hours playing runescape on my account. This number is about what I would have guessed, even so it is really cool to know exactly. Most of my friends have many more hours logged than me. Timothy Gold, an old clan mate, has a whopping 486 days logged in game. The link to his blog, which is extremely well written is in my blog roll.

All in all I am filled with excitment to be back and I have BIG PLANS.


Thank you for reading,

We recommend.

Every time I log into a new computer at the place where I work I have to go through the annoying task of re-adding my list of favorites. In this process I have to delete the default and useless favorites that come pre-installed. In the past I've always just sort of mass deleted them and not really paid much attention to them. Today I noticed that one of the folders was called "HP Recommended Sites." Out of curiosity I clicked on it to see what kind of Internet sites HP would recommend. To my surprise I found only one site, HP's own home page. I got a good laugh out of this and continued deleting folders full of worthless pre-installed favorites.

I wish so badly that I could install FireFox on computers that I have to use at work. I've asked our IT department and they've told me, "no, you can just use Internet Explorer 6." I could go on an extremely long rant about how much I hate Internet explorer 6 but I'll keep it short by saying that currently Internet Explorer is in its 8th version with a 9th being worked on. I have no idea what our IT department sees in Internet Explorer 6 but it seems like it is time to let go. Internet Explorer 6 is way less secure when compared with its newer versions.

In Runescape I am done fishing and woodcutting for the Summer Skill Competition 2. I gained 3 levels in each skill which puts me at level 73 in each. I gained a total of 518k experience spread across the 2 skills and I made around 2 million gold.

Yesterday I started slayer back up again. I'm planning on maxing out attack via slayer. Hopefully I'll make some money doing this since I would like to purchase a God Sword sometime soon.

Ascended Phoenix is doing really well. New applicants are coming in and I feel growth. Its exciting to be a part of the community. If you're ever looking for a clan to join come check us out.

There were two updates today in Runescape. I haven't had a chance to check them out but I was able to read about them. There is a new slayer monster, pub, and animations for most melee weapons. I'm most excited about the slayer monster. It requires level 78 slayer which is just a bit above my current level. I'll have to train quickly so that I can kill it.

Awhile.

Hey everyone, I know its been awhile. I've been extremely busy though. So there isn't much that could be done about it. In the time between my last post and this one a lot has happened! To start off I am now 18 years old. It seems crazy that I'm that old; it still hasn't really sunk in. Also, I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned it but I play bass guitar in a band. Anyways, my band won our cities battle of the bands competition last month. It was really exciting since we had only been playing together for about a month and a half prior to the competition. As a prize for winning we won some money as well as being entered into the regional contest. We've been working and practicing diligently so hopefully we do well. The contest is on August 8th.

I had a bit of a slow down in regards to my Runescape activity in the past month. However, its picking back up again. I am currently working on fishing for Ascended Phoenix's Summer Skill Competiton 2. The competition is slow skills. I'll probably switch off between fishing and woodcutting. I don't think I'll win since I don't have enough time. I do plan on getting the required event attendance xp which is 500k.


My clan, Ascended Phoenix, had its first real war the other day. We fought the Elite Hunters. The odds were against us. We started out with 12 and they with 24. They ended up winning with 6 people left. If we had a few more people show up I'm sure we would have won. Needless to say it was good fun. I hope to fight them again.

My attack level is at 95 now, about half way to 96. I think I'll take it to 99 via slayer. My money is starting to build up again. I'm at around 10 mil or so. Hopefully I'll increase it a bit with the harvest from the fishing and woodcutting.

I also recently purchased a netbook. Its an Asus Eee 1005HA. I love it! It runs extremely well for its specifications and it will be perfect for taking notes in class. It runs runescape very well in low detail as well. The 10.1" screen is just the perfect size for it. One of the sweetest things about it is that it boasts a 7+ hour battery life. This is really nice because I can take it to work with me and not have to plug it in.

The adventuring continues.

Wow I need to post more frequently don't I! If you agree leave a comment and I might be more likely to ;-)

I've continued to primarily train my melee skills with slayer. I've taken the occasional break with afk training at dagannoths. My slayer level is up to 72. I'm rather impressed by it. However, I do want 85 slayer and the ability to kill abyssal demons. I always thought I would never be able to kill abyssal demons and now it doesn't seem that far out of reach.

My attack level is up to 94. My combat level is at 124.

Ascended Phoenix is doing quite well. We've been growing quite steadily. Last week we had a trial alliance event with clan NOVA. The event went very well. NOVA is a very established clan so we'll be happy to have them as allies.

This morning Runescape was updated. Jagex made some changes to PVP,the bounty hunter crater, and graves.. In addition to some other small things. I found a rather interesting glitch while I was trying out the PVP worlds. I was in camelot at the time. I had just teled and was getting rushed with by and ancienter with a whip. Not having much food I absentmindedly clicked the logout button though I'm sure it was too late for it to work. To my sheer disbelief I was logged out! Needless to say I wasn't convinced. I tried it another four times and all four times it worked! I'm sure that Jagex has fixed it by the time I'm writing this but it was kinda interesting to find such a blaring bug.
