I think that trust in Runescape or otherwise is gained over time with people that you spend time with. For example, if you had experience with one friend of loaning out small amounts multiple times it is only quite natural that you would trust for larger and larger amounts as time goes on. If you loaned and didn't get anything returned you would stop loaning right? This is the same concept in real life. I have family members who ask to borrow $20 or whatever, if they consistently pay me back I don't feel bad about loaning again or loaning more the next time. In other words, I don't think trust in the game is gained any differently than in real life. The main difference is that online people often don't know the people they are ripping off personally. If they knew that you had their address and might show up at their house to collect they are more likely to pay off a debt don't you think? Morals have a tendency to get thrown out the window when there is enough distance involved and/or enough gain, the temptation is there in any case.

Oh, I broke the 300 quest points thing to get to Odysseus level.

There is still a "veteran" world in classic that you can only enter if you played classic back before they first locked it down. Those who logged in for one of the times they have opened up classic (this is not the first time!) can get the cape, but still don't get to go on to the veteran world. The cape is a new thing anyway so doesn't really take away anything from the original classic players, it just means that you logged in to classic once regardless of when.

Anyone who bots deserves a ban. Hopefully your main will get banned too if you ever shared stuff between the accounts!!

Once you get really close, it can really be hard to finish it up. If you can't stay focused on it once you get close to the end, there are a lot of methods you could try. Here are some below: [*]Wait until a double XP weekend to speed it up [*]Instead of trying to do the skill straight through, always spend at least an hour each day or week on the skill. It might take a lot longer to get there that driving straight on, but it won't take forever. [*]Don't forget to use your assists every day for the skills you have over 91 that are assist-able. You can get all the way to 99 just on those assists if you really hate working the skill. [*]Find other ways to train the skills you don't like such as combining with other activities such as Dungeoneering or use distractions and diversions like circus for agility or penguins for runecraft. [*]Try using alternate methods to train the skill, just because a lot of people get to 99 doing things a certain way doesn't mean you have to use the same method. IE, you could fish rocktails in LRC, Monks at Piscatoris, lobsters anywhere, barbarian fishing, trout/salmon, etc. You get the idea. Every skill has alternate methods to train it, you just have to find the one you like best or rotate between them to keep from being bored.

Does someone maintain that or was a one time update?

Arrr! I be there if I be online, arrrrr!

Those are some very ambitious goals. How quickly are you planning to reach each each of them or are you working them all concurrently?Range always seems to be the slowest for me to work on out of that list, supposedly Dungeoneering is the fastest if you can stand it. I'm not much of a fan of dungeoneering, it takes way too much attention all the time (unless you are a leech, which I am not, he he).I've taken to using addy bolts with a rune crossbow to train range lately myself but I don't know if it's really a good way or not. Can you recommend any good methods?Good luck!

I highly recommend getting the cheaper scrolls as soon as you can too. I can't tell you how awesome it is to get back an expensive farming seed when you harvest, especially herbs and trees. The herblore scroll is even more useful as it saves you tons of both potion seconds and the herbs themselves when making potions. When adding ingredients I've been averaging one herb and one second saved per inventory.

Desert Treasure is the quest that allows you to switch to ancient spells Ranger, big milestone for the mages! It's also the one that gets you an ancient staff.I don't recall much about the quest other than it was long and difficult or I would offer some better advice, but I do wish you good luck Tim.

Woo-hoo! More of my fellow MS have joined!! He he. Happy to see you Nich and Brian, the Rebelz have been good hosts to me so far since I signed up to their forums.

OK, thanks. I'm sure it won't take long to get to that.

So how many posts are required to be allowed to play games in the forum arcade?

This is the best one I've ever gotten. I still do clues fairly often, but these days they almost always suck. Runeplate (g).

Well I don't have any recent PK pictures. But I like looking at others pics! I've been mostly skilling lately, but here are a few really old ones, maybe the rest of you can add some newwer ones. I think this is the newwest one I have, at least it was after HD came out. Here are a few really old ones:
