Missing in Action.

Had not been on Runescape much the past week due to another game that has managed to keep me interested for some time. Maplestory, an addictive game it is. I got form to start with me, but now hes on runescape less than me! Ugh. Evil runescape-player-sucking-vortex.

Anyway, i was still able to make a few level ups although the time spent on Runescape drastically decreased. For one, i managed to get my farming to 75. Yay! magic tree time! This is where i can start spamming my money on. Not that I'm going to, not yet at least. Hmm... thinking of growing magic trees in celebration, but i wonder how expensive the seeds are... WHATTT? At 200k each, the pricing is absolutely magical. Magically expensive! Maybe I'll just grow *a* magic tree in celebration then.

Although i was not that active the past few days, i was keeping track on the new updates and such. One thing that got me interested was the new level up messages, that was promised to not be disrupted by combat. the first day it came out, my jaw almost dropped. There was no indication of the level you have just gotten! think of the poor people who got 99 on that day! All they would see is a " Congratulations! You have just advanced a (insert 99 skill here) level! ". ugh, i shudder at the thought of the agony and irritation that the poor player, if any would feel at that point. luckily, Jagex did react fast to this little problem, soon, the level up messages were fixed and it certainly does look l33ter than the previous one.

Another update was the quick chat thingy. At first glance, i thought the idea was stupid, as some of the messages found there can easily be typed, faster than the time needed to actually click your way to that particular message. After a short trip to the clan wars, my feel towards this quick chat system changed. Some of the messages there were actually very fun to use as taunts, and i loved repeating them using the f11 key, going " Another one bites the dust!" over and over again :D

Seeing that the first half of this post was written quite some time ago, the 'recent updates' mentioned above are now quite outdated =/

More time had passed, and it seems that my passion for runescape has once returned, under the influence of Kat, i completed 2 quests that i have put off for sometime, temple of ikov and desert treasure.

Desert treasure is now one of my favourite quests, and i found the storyline very interesting. I don't remember liking any quests for a long time now, and dt will probably get me started on questing again. Battling the 4 demons was very fun, i must say, and in the end, it wasn't as dangerous as i sounded, only wished i had done it earlier. And the boots of lightness gotten from the temple of ikov quest has proven itself very handy when i am doing my farming rounds to reduce the weight i am carrying, allowing me to run for a longer period of time.

Another thing, just got my farming to lv 77 with help from my new addition to my farming rounds, willow trees. Hopefully, these 5k increase in the daily exp gain would be helpful to reach my goal of lv 80 farming faster.

There had been a lv 99 rush within the clan recently. So, grats mat on 99 firemaking, dg on 99 cooking and timmy on 99 def!

Combat training had resumed, so Kat, get ready for some close competition. :D
