Despite categorical denials, rumours amongst the blogging community are suggesting that it’s only a matter of time before RuneScape gold reaches seventh generation gaming consoles such as Wii, Xbox360 and PlayStation 3.
For the less initiated, RuneScape is a Java-based game which has taken the internet by storm with millions of players interacting with each other online. It takes place in the fantasy-themed realm of Gielinor where players travel between different kingdoms either on foot or via teleportation.
You can engage monsters and even fellow players in combat but you must also trade, communicate and cooperate to complete mini challenges. How very civilised.
A recent study at Brunel University has suggested that playing Runescape can be beneficial in teaching teenagers to work hard to achieve goals. Call me old fashioned, but I think my paper round did more for me than any virtual sword fight.
So the word on the street (albeit a virtual street) is that RuneScape will soon be invading living rooms all over runescape money the globe. To be honest it all looks a bit like virtual Dungeons and Dragons to me but more than five million people each month can’t be wrong. Can they?

world trading in Runescape
What's happening is more complex than it first seems. What's actually going on is that the VAST majority of the level-3 characters you see playing the game repetitively and not talking to anyone, are actually people from countries such as China and Korea, who are trying to collect RuneScape gold to sell for real world money (obviously against the rules). Some of them aren't even using bots, they are just playing the game very repetitively with a single-minded purpose to collect gold. These people have no interest in playing the game properly, and therefore don't care if they get banned. The final effect is the same, though – it spoils the game for everyone else.
We can (and do) ban them - including using IP bans - but they still find ways to make accounts. We seized 6 billion in RuneScape gold by banning real-world traders last week! Unfortunately, these people are obliged to work such long hours and are paid such low wages that if even a tiny fraction of gold makes it to the market, those running the sweatshops will be encouraged to continue. This is why we are now further increasing our efforts.
So how to stop it? The answer is clearly to tackle the black market. As long as there is the potential to make money, they won't stop trying, even though it damages the game for everyone else. Of course, if nobody spent real world money on RuneScape gold these unwelcome groups would just switch to a different game.
Therefore, we are going to be cracking down HARD on people who breach Rule 12 (no real world trading). We can catch people who break this rule, because we have a sophisticated trade monitoring system and we can trace suspicious activity all the way back to the original bot accounts.
If you break Rule 12 and buy RuneScape gold you are directly funding this problem. You are funding underground gangs who run Chinese sweatshops, and creating the black market which causes this botting problem. Therefore, this rule will now be enforced as a priority, with no second chances. If you break Rule 12 and we catch you, then you will not only lose the money you spent, but also your entire account. Obviously, we will always be careful to make sure nobody is banned in error.
Over the last couple of weeks we've had a sudden increase in reports of people apparently using 'bots' to play the game automatically (which is in breach of Rule 7). Firstly, we want to let all our honest players (and that's the vast majority of you) know that we are aware of this problem, and that we are taking immediate steps to tackle it. We currently ban about 8000 accounts every week for trying this sort of cheating, and for a long time that kept things under control. Things have clearly moved on, however, and that is no longer enough, so we are in the process of upgrading our detection and prevention systems. We also have logs of historical activity, so we'll be able to make sure that dishonesty doesn't pay. Please bear with us while we sort it out! There are also ways you can help us, so please read on.
Finally, we have noticed some 3rd party sites, which call themselves 'fansites', but then advertise black market trading sites. This will no longer be tolerated. By running such advertising these sites are directly supporting these gangs, and are thus causing the botting problems they then complain about! We don't consider sites that encourage our players to break the rules and endanger their own users to be 'fansites'. (i.e. They're advertising things to their users, which, if the advertising works, will serve to get their users banned!) We consider them cheat sites, and they will be treated accordingly. True fans of the game don’t encourage cheating!
This brings us to the last point. HOW YOU CAN HELP! You can help us by:
Using the in-game 'report abuse' facility to tell us about players you see breaking rule 7. Of course we're not going to ban anyone just on the basis of a player report and will always thoroughly check them ourselves, too - but such reports still help us know who we should be checking up on.
Boycott any corrupt 'fansites' which advertise RuneScape gold for sale. There are plenty of genuine fansites out there who don't support cheating in this way, and we fully support those sites. Use those ones instead. Also, don't advertise, link to, or talk about any of these corrupt fansites. Obviously, if they stop supporting cheating, you can start using them again.
Under absolutely no circumstances cheap RuneScape gold /items for real money! Doing so causes this whole problem, and we'll ban you if we catch you doing it.
The number of honest players still far, far outweighs the tiny minority causing trouble. Now we’re on the case you can be sure we’ll have this sorted out asap.

RuneScape
Once I get my membership back, I'm going to have to do a lot of shopping. Luckily, one of my best friends has given me 7 million gp (though in retrospect, I probably gave him a lot more in the past). Yes. 7 million gp, all for me to get back onto my feet. Although 7 million gp does sound like quite a lot of cash, I'd definitely have a lot more had I not retired from Runescape for a year. However, it'll be more than enough to give me a headstart on what I need.
I have everything I need to get back on my feet, such as a Rune Hatchet and knife. Really, that's all I'm going to need because I can already craft my own Nature Runes and pick my own Flax (though I'll probably pick 100, alch those and end up with 100k, and just buy all the flax and strings I need).
But since I have the money... I might as well make things easier on myself. I plan on purchasing the following:
-Several Glory Amulets (For nat running)-Runescape gold Pick Axe (For mining the minerals and gems I need)-Full Rune with Dragon Scimitar or Abyssal Whip (For self defence)-Full Black Dragonhide (For
That's all really. Now, because I have money, and I want to enjoy myself:
-Abyssal Whip-Dragon Halbred, Long, Scimitar, Battle Axe, Dagger(s), and Square Shield-Possibly an Obsidian Shield-Recharge my Crystal Bow
That's about it. I also plan on trying out the new Construction skill and performing various new quests recently introduced into the game. Once that's over with, then I'll probably focus on getting full Dragon armor and increasing my Range, Crafting, and Magic levels while making lots of cash.
However, unless last summer where I could spend all day on Runescape, I recently found a summer job that seems to take up a lot of time and is very stressful on my behalf. However, I don't think it should bother me too much, so hopefully I'll be able to play and write at the same time.
Wish me luck. And as always buy runescape money, I thank my loyal readers who actually read these little stories I write. Thank you.

Runescape friend
I have a friend, One who is always there for me.She would always skill and get her total level up all the time in Runescape.She always told me to train my slayer. She did so herself and got to 93.I asked her why train after 85, she replied with “jagex will release something new from a higher leveled monster”I never agreed, but she was right, like always.
The dark bow was released, i could tell she was happy, as you needed 90 slayer.I was asleep at the time the update occured, so i didnt see her on the next day.
About a week later she logs in only to tell me she had quit,not because of no Runescape gold.For the same reason she had almost quit before, Price manipulation, merchanters.
The dark bow was 90m at first buying runescape money, only to drop to 10m over night, then 5m, now 4m. Thats only about 4 days after release.
With this happening, my friend had no choice but to quit.She almost quit last time from whips being 1.6 as they are now, But now the new dark bow dropping to below 4m over 4 days just devastated her.
She had alot of Runescape gold and was very wealthy but i dont think it was the Runescape money that made her leave.I think it was the merchanters.
How they lie to get their own way.Decieve people just to leave the people who put the effort in tears.Its sad, it makes me sick, to see how sad some players can be. Just to make a bit of cash, when they don’t anyway, just to lower the price of Runescape gold items without thinking about the consequences, but what do they care? All they want is for people to burn.
They, merchanters have no skill, they are lazy and like to merchant there way to victory.
Merchanting is scamming in a way, buying for a low price and selling higher. Standing there for hours repeatidly typing to lower the price of an item they cant afford.
Why do you do it? You may make some cash, but your not making people happy.
And now my best friend is gone, hopefully not forever.
I thought the dark bow would be her breakthough, instead its her down fall.If only people had hearts.
For the same reason she had almost quit before, Price manipulation, merchanters,Runescape gold.
The dark bow was 90m at first, only to drop to 10m over night, then 5m, now 4m. Thats only about 4 days after release.
With this happening, my friend had no choice but to quit.She almost quit last time from whips being 1.6 as they are now, But now the new dark bow dropping to below 4m over 4 days just devastated her.”This very sentence demonstrates to me and every other cynical reader that you have no idea of what the term ‘Supply and Demand’ means. Your post consists of nothing more than hatred and blame for merchanters lowering the dark bow and whip price, where as there is a real life phenomnenon taking place here which you have simply over looked.
The reason for the dark bow drastically dropping in price has no relation to the number of people trying to merchant them. Initially, the reason for the dark bow being 90M, is because of the reletively short supply of the bow. The very first bows would’ve sold for this Runescape gold price. However, the longer the update is released, the more people with 90+ slayer will go out to kill these Dark beasts for their precious bow.
Currently 3,082 people have a level above 90. 3,082 people can gather this bow. These 3,082 people have probably all gotten at least one drop. The more people that get these drops, the more bows are placed onto the market for sale. Beacuse of the oversupply of bows at such high prices, consumers (the dark bow buyers) do not have to pay such prices — As it is the SELLERS who are dropping their prices to meet the demand for the item.
It was therefore inevitable that the price would fall to its current equilibrium price — THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE MERCHANTERS.
Withi Abbysal whips runescape gold for sale, the same occurs — however, it took people a long time to get 85 slayer and only a handful of people had this high level initially. Resulting in a higher price. 10000+ people today have 85 slayer.
