Krayfishkarl's RuneScape Blog

I've decided to unsubscribe from RuneScape. With the recent microtransactions update, it's lost its appeal to me. However, I will keep this blog updated and I will continue working on the Skyrim Daemonheim Mod. Hi, I'm Karl (Krayfishkarl in-game) and I'm 18. I started playing RuneScape in 2004. This is my RuneScape blog where I post anything related to RuneScape. I like RuneScape for its quests and lore and I am currently going for 99 Agility. I am also a member of the clan "The Scrying Pool" which is a lore and future update clan. It's got awesome people.

Microtransactions....

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to say no to this one.  I'm talking about the recent Squeal of Fortune update where you can buy extra spins.  You pay with real money for an extra chance to get more rewards.  Not really the kind of game that I wanted to play.  You should only gain an advantage in a game just from playing it, not from buying extra things.

I did promise myself I would unsubscribe if Jagex released microtransactions.  Looks like they finally did and I must keep true to my word.

But I'm not entirely quitting.  I'm just unsubscribing.  Perhaps I will return one day when Jagex reconsiders this.

But of course, that's not going to stop me from working on the Skyrim Daemonheim Mod or keeping this blog updated.  RuneScape itself is a good game but with this Squeal of Fortune thing, it no longer convinces me to have an active subscription to it.

Even more Dungeoneering in Skyrim.

More Dungeoneering in Skyrim!

[krayfishkarlrs]

Yeah, I know this is a RuneScape blog, but I think this still counts.  This is a mod that I made that pretty much shows Dungeoneering with Skyrim's graphics.

This is by far the most clever comment on the RuneScape forums that I have seen.

WHY? WHY would you feed a purple partyhat to your troll!?!?!?!?

That makes me want to cry a little bit.

Amidst all the chaos caused by the server crash, I found this post too funny to ignore.

[krayfishkarlrs]

So the login server crashed and some people are pretty angry that they can't get online.  However, there are a lot of over the top comments such as this one.

[krayfishkarlrs]

This person is talking about the new quest where you have to do some math.  If you get the answer wrong, you die.  The answer should actually be 14.

This person may or may not be trolling, but either way, this warrants a facepalm.

New TzHaar City

Wow, we got a lot more than I expected.  This is more than just a graphical update.  It's like an entirely new city!

Is it really worth the trouble to steal someone else's stuff in an MMO?

[krayfishkarlrs]

This looks really epic, but dang!  I still have trouble with the first Jad.

Let Them Eat Pie Quest

So...can you imagine how they recorded those vomiting sounds?

[krayfishkarlrs]

 I would laugh so hard if PETA complained to Jagex for this.

I made this remix of the old RuneScape theme on my spare time after experimenting with Famitracker for a while.
