WE HAVE MOVED

WE HAVE MOVED!!!!!!!!!! RUNESCAPE BLOGGERS

RuneScape or RuledScape

| Thursday, September 25, 2008
RuledScape?

Every day as the days go by, It is proven to us that the democratic world of Runescape, Is being Ruled, We are told we have privacy and we have the freedom of playing, but if there is such a Freedom, then why is Jagex, Acting like Big Brother? Watching us like a Mother would watch her young Child? They have the necessary Enforcements to keep the game safe for players of all ages, But every day Jagex prove that we are not as free as we think, An Example would be


The so called Price Manipulation, From Acidy’s Clan chat, When they were “Privately” discussing items in the Grand Exchange that they were going to dump after making their price rise, This is not really a Price Manipulation, we were told if we bought “Certain” Items that we cud make the price rise and be able to Merchant freely, But they Never said we could not get our friends to buy the same item and make it rise, and then dumping just means everyone selling at one time, it takes a good merchant to be able to do that, And with a Group of Friends then together they are doing Team work, a skill not used in runescape very much at all, there is a couple of quests which require two people, there are the dag kings who require two people, the godwars dungeon can be done solo but most use a team and the new Corporeal Beast + the few other silly monsters about that I cannot think of, But even with Those, We are still being ruled as a team of friends by Jagex’s Wonderful drop rates, Week after week they up and down the level percent of getting a drop, because one week a team might get 1 bill worth of drops so they’ll lower it, then the next week a team might go and get not a thing, this isn’t the fairest way, especially for those teams who have no cash and are there time and time again trying to get a drop, But Jagex even rule us when we are not online, How so? By Banning or Muting us for silly Mistakes, what ever happened to a Second chance? You break a rule once, Instead of Muted for X amount of days, a Black Mark and a Warning, Especially they rule us even with “Fan” sites, they say they are for them, and to go with the good ones but I have been muted for saying “Youtube” a Worldwide video site, I have been given a black mark for saying go to the zybez radio site, Why should we be ruled like this? Is it fair? No, but why do it, I’ll Tell you why, because Jagex are scared, yes scared, Scared that something better then runescape might appear on these fan sites, scared that players will get sick of not being able to buy an item for Mid or near lowest price, But the biggest worry is, we are meant to be in an Un-Ruled Society of players, yet everyday as they go on Jagex prove they are “Watching” and keeping a close eye on the world of Runescape, But they feed us there excuses, Which is what annoys me the Most, “Were not Acting like Big Brother, were keeping an eye out for Real World Traders and Macro’s” But the Deal is Real World Traders are a Threat because they make it hard for Decent players to play, and the same Deal with Autoer’s , But that’s what the trade limit and Removal of the Wilderness was for? But it still has not stopped it, And it never will, But Jagex are to blind to see this, But among it all, We are living in a Ruled Society, It is not Runescape, It really is Ruledscape, at this current point in time.

Price Manipulation

| Wednesday, September 24, 2008
A ever growing trend in RuneScape these days is groups of people controlling the supply of items and therefore the price of that item. Why do people do this? Easy because people who succesfully controll the supply of items make big profits!


My interpretation


The bottom axis represents supply (The availability of good), The top axis represents demand (The want of the good).

The green dot is when the item is bought out (supply drained) the red dot is when the item is resold and demand is met. As you can see the line is vertical, in the real world it wouldnt be linear but for this explanation it shall be to emphasise the dramatic effect price manipulation has on the economy and how powerfull this concept is.

there are now groups out there gathering people to participate in price manipulation the main one that im aware of is A C I D Y. He oparates in irc and clan chat. The leaders of the chat will determine an item to buy out. Then the members will buy out this certain item or a decent % of stock. Once the item is bought out the will keep the item for a day or so or however long it takes for jagex to increase the price for the good. Once this happens a leader will ask for the item to be "Dumped" or sold. Everyone will sell there items and make a profit cause the in the absence of the items on the ge everyone was trying to buy thefore demand going up resulting in price increase.

If you are a risk taker and u want some incrediable return try getting on on this syndicate. As always risk is more apparent in Price manipulation as you have the chance that the item was being dumped while you were sleeping and the time you come on the item is at price below you bought it for due to the rapid flooding of ther market of items at exhubernt prices.

How to make money with Behind the Scenes

How to make money off RuneScape Updates

A simple method used by keen merchanters to make easy runescape gp these days is to predict updates and the materials that will be associated with the update. This method has been made a hell of alot easier with the inclusion of Behind the Scenes (A new innoiative by Jagex to give the player more of an insight to future content).

What will you need to be succesfull with this method?
  • To be sucessfull with any merch you will need money and the number one rule is.. RISK you must be aware that all merching oppurtunities have a risk things can change in an instant due to internal/external factors
  • Have access to Behind the Scenes Monthly update.. and be able to comprehend simple terms into merchanting oppurtuntie


Understanding and Interpreting Behind the Scenes Information:

When jagex states an incoming update i like to put it in one of two catagories. Either Community Based Update (CBU) or Economical Based Update (EBU). This is how i go about catagorizing updates i analzye the updates and the effect its going to have on the community then way up the points accordingly.

Case Study 1: RuneScape High Detail Realease
Jagex in a behind the scenes update told us about the incoming graphic overhall of the game. from this simple information we need to determine is this going to effect the economy or community more.. My answer would be a CBU my reasoning for this is. The graphics wont be adding or taking away anything from the economy aswell as no crucial demand or lack of supply for goods. The bolded is the basic rule of thumb for analyzing updates. Some people will argue that the economy will still be effected by an update like this.. Of course all updates will always effect the community and economy its just judging which one is more apparent.

Case Study 2: RuneScape Clan Wars Realase
Jagex in a behind the scenes update told us about the new and revamped free for all clan wars. From this statement we can play on a simple human factor. The want to be the best.. As humans we are programmed to be winners. Thefore to be the last man standing in the new clan wars you are going to need survival materials. So food and pots are your best bet in this situation. The key is buying the goods as soon as you think you understand the update and also the risks involved. Example on the 3rd of july Behind the scenes came out establishing the intent for new clan wars changes. Then we establish the would be an EBU update as there is definat potenital for demand/supply of items to change. So if i bought 5k sharks 20 days before the update then when the update comes in sell them for max or even weight for the demand to rise so jagex rise the mean price to meet the demand making you even more profit.

Conclusion

All updates can make you money you just need to indentify the oppurtunites in every behind the scenes and buy in advanced. Remember the peak of users trying the new update ie clan wars will be 72 hours then the hype will die down. So use 72 hours as your selling period.
