    Default New Skill

    Hey in my opinion I dont really find this as a skill. I feel like this is more of a minigame. Anyone agree with me?

    I know like nothing about it, just skimmed the article, but if you can only perform it in like one place, it isn't like a skill it is more like a minigame.

    I also dont really find a point to it. You cant really make any money from it. Its fun but gets really boring after a while

    Bleh.

    I don't like it, but it's a very good idea, you must admit. This is the only skill that RuneScape has that you can benefit from by having friends help you. I think it was a good idea, but shouldn't have been a skill, nor a minigame. Just another aspect of the game.

    And I'm 100% sure that they will change it, like they did with Summoning 2.

    Ya I don't feel like there's any benefits from having a high skill in this and getting that many tokens for the rewards seems pretty difficult. I guess there trying to make runescape more community based and group friendly?

    Possibly. I think this is a turn for the better. Just not very well played-out.

    I see. I really hope they do. Your right about them probably changing it. There is hope for this to be a really cool thing

    I think it was a good update, but definitely not worthy of being deemed a skill. I don't see them making any major changes to it, however. From what I have heard this was released to tide people over until the next skill (which apparently was already in development) is released.

    When will they reach a maximum with skills ? I think we already had enough when we received farming.

    I believe that they will keep adding them until the game dies. It is what the majority of the players want.

    Or maybe they will start over with a runescape 3 ? When you need to buy or download the game just like WOW ? Like when runescape 1 got to runescape 2 your statsl did reset ? They now created a 1 hour demo. When your talking to npc's you hear a real voice and it reminds me like LOTR. That kind of atmoshphere are they trying to create imo (Like in the books from JR Tolkien). Well its kinda lol how they are trying to make this game bigger and bigger. But thats almost with every massive multi player role playing game. I think its not necessary because its idiotic when a game doesn't reach an end.

    ^ wat. Why would you EVER want an RPG to have an end? Do you get upset that you can't quickly reach the end of your life through doing quests and getting your skills up and maxing? No, of course not. And since you're religious, and you believe in an after-life, if I recall correctly, so wouldn't you be upset that your psuedo-"RPG" doesn't EVER end?

    i find this skill, horrible, and i have my reasons, for one it cannot be applyed anywhere else, for example you can malee, wc, farm, fire make, and do just about every other skill in a lot of different areas, with this one, you cannot, i also find it like a minigame, non profitable, and also the sad thing is that somebody has gotten lvl 90 in this skill in approximately 2 weeks, it took a lot longer with summoning.

    It always confuses me why people go into wars about how we got here, and where we go when we die.

    lol, every rpg reach and end. And we are now talking about a MMORPG. There is a big difference between that. Did I said I was being upset ? No im not upset about that. And how did that get up to you that you were thinking that I was being upset about it. I actually lolled about it and thought that its idiotic.

    What have this all have to do with my religion ? Its not relevant at this point. Are you frustrated about my previous posts about religion ? Runescape will known an end at some point.

    I think their are better ways to keep the players interesting then continues making new skills.

    ^ I can hardly read right now, so I think you basically just said that I'm butthurt about your religion, which I'm not. Most of my friends are religious. I was just saying that MMORPGs don't tend to have an end. They're not just point and click flash games, they don't end. Does WoW end? No. Does MS end? No. Neither does any MMORPG that I'm aware of. RS would be the first, which would make it stupid.

    There will never be a Runescape 3. They lack the resources, time, or ideas to make one. Stellar Dawn is their new project. Also, having an end would be pointless. Maxing out only to be unable to play.

    No, they did not. Getting skills up in RS1 is even more painful than RS2 (no "automating" tasks ftw? Fishing required continuous clicking, not just 1 click and then you character fishes.. In cooking every food had to be cooked one by one and so on), and if they had reset everyones skills they would've lost a massive amount of people who had put hundreds of hours to their characters. If they now decided to reset everyones stats many kids and basement dwellers would probably commit suicide.
