If you want a pizza this pie
You can crust that
I won't cheese on you
Dance on the groove flour
And I'll give you a disco-unt
That video is great.

Also it seems like I need to post some content so people stop posting weird donut pictures.


Here are my stats after exactly one year. Thanks challenges, bonus exp, and all that stuff that saves me from grinding! I'm going to have to post another one for one year in clan soon.

I was going to check for the supposed bank chest at the Armadyl war area when-


Ahhhhhh another Kingly holy poo poo holy shitttt


Yes the you can't reach that was when I was spam clicking while it was stuck between the unusable chest and armour.


Good profit from the hat, would sell again.




Alas, garden pies stopped selling at 5k each at some point and I had to sell the rest at 2.5k. Still not a bad profit, thanks to Hinze and Sigma for this one!

Hey guys, starting now, World 117 will be our new homeworld! To ease the migration from 60, it'll be our secondary homeworld. It provides benefits such as having a low population (less pubbies), low lag (makes doing everything easier), and it's a Dungeoneering world!

World 117 guys! It's better than 60.

Sorry for the misinformation guys, but the new and improved goon homeworld will actually be World 42. It's not an easy decision to choose a world any better than 60, but the roleplaying seemed right in place with the clan's long-standing roleplaying tradition of pretending that any of us actually enjoy playing this game. It provides benefits such as Agoat stalking, bear impersonations, and comes with a free fedora to tip for m'lady.

World 42! It's definitely better than World 117.

I'll agree that world 60 is a disgusting cesspool of pubs and shame, at least moreso than usual, but i'll have to wait and see how the other server is first.

I'm pretty sure you should maybe ask the clan owner before we make a server shift. I've said it multiple times in-game, but if people can agree on a good secondary world beyond 60, I've always been willing to have said secondary world eventually be our primary world. Let's hear some general feedback first - what worlds are good?

Kari will be demoted for a week for making a fake authoritative announcement and for RP-related crimes.

I can't seem to join the clan chat thing because I'm apparently not in the goon clan. Can some recruitment officer guy invite Hoogingetorix so I can torture myself by playing this game?

e: I'll join the mumble and figure this out later. Nobody is on the Mumble. Who can invite me? Also, can I play with goons if I'm F2P? World 60 is paid.

Pretty sure you have to join the clan chat as guest, or get someone to meet up and invite you. Also, hit the three bright circles icon under your inventory and set you combat setting to Revolution, makes the new combat a lot easier to get used to unless you like hotkeying like it's WoW. Also, combat level is now your highest non-def stat + def. So with 99 range, 99 def, and all 80 melee stats, your combat is 200. Combat damage/def is now more dependent on equipment than skill level.

Other than that, the skills are mostly pretty much the same, it's just combat that had a huge overhaul.

Oh, and if you're not pay to play, you can still join the clan chat and poo poo but you can't go on world 60. Aside from dungeoneering and bossing, I don't think there's much to do as a group.

e: Also I think you spelt your in game name wrong?

I tried joining the clan chat as a guest, but it said I had to be in the clan already. v0v. I'll check on my name and edit this post.

e: Hoogingetox. Every time I try to PM someone, I'm told I need to join a friends chat channel. I try to join and then I'm told the channel doesn't exist. Also, I can't talk in clan chat despite the fact that I'm in the channel, so I guess I'm SOL until I'm invited.

Oh, hahaha. If you're in the clan chat channel but can't talk, type // before everything you wanna say. That makes it get said in the clan channel and not the public one.

So jagex continues with their, fix 1 thing break 10 style of things.

They updated the game to include the quest and half the worlds went offline. they updated to bring the worlds back online and now no one can log back in.

My guess is that in fixing the log in issue everyone will be given max cash and that will require a 4 hour roll back to fix which will inturn bring half the worlds off line again and make a glitch where people constantly crash for weeks and jagex wont do anything about it.

God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?
Ohhh my God why.


So I picked this up last night on some kind of horrifying tangent, and somehow I can already feel its hooks reworking back into me. It's been five years, goddamnit! And it was three or four before the last time. Ngh.

The problem is, my old starter account which had some nice stuff and more importantly a shitload of levels has gone dark. I remember one defunct password for it and that's about it. Runescape help has told me I'm hosed as it stands, they have no way to confirm the account is mine.

While I do have a new character since I'm interested in running through all the old stuff and seeing how it's changed in the near-decade since I played this game intensively, I would be a lot happier if I could get the old guy back. Anyone have any advice? I'm considering rooting through old computers to see if I have any password files on them. This is where it's come to.

Goddamnit, this game. At least it's better for my health than politics.

With all the new junk in the game, grinding levels is actually easier. Do clan citadel stuff or dungeoneering stuff, and get bonus xp to spend. Resource rates for things like mining seem to be much higher than usual. The game is practically on easy mode. Your new account will catch up to the mid-levels quickly within a couple of months of play.

Pubbie -> basic non goon. Generally terrible person. See: RS forums.

Dirty poor -> goon without membership. Unwashed masses.

Elite master race -> goon with membership.

You sound like a dirty poor. Its fine to do that, but you'll miss out on a lot of good stuff.

Well, in the beginning they had a "loyalty shop" that gave members points every month to spend on things like weak auras and titles. They decided that wasn't a big enough incentive to buy memberships, so they added runecoins, a currency you can only buy with real money and use in the shop. I guess they decided to expand it to lovely freemium offers now, too.
