Runescape

If you owned that on the old Runescape you are rich now  I still have all of my collections of santas and phats. Over 100 santas and I have 5 sets of each phat. I calculated how much it would be worth all of it if I sold it through RWT and the phat collection would be worth at cheapest $44,500, the santas worth $11,200, the various other rares I had such as mask sets, pumpkins, easter eggs would be worth a total of $4300. In total if I sold everything of it at the cheapest prices listed online I would have $60,000 worth of items on RS3 that I could sell  But of course I still will not sell them and RWT is bannable and not something that would look good on me lol. I feel too personally attached to the things I have collected there over the years to ever even sell IRL. 

I dunno how much I have on RS3, I know I have a blue phat, purple phat, and a santa hat but nowhere near as much as you  Though I think last I looked blue phats sell for like 3k real monies @.@ But yeah, I'd never sell it either. Dunno if RWT'ing is illegal, I guess it's not since there are like millions of websites for it but I know it gets you a ban in game if you get caught lol so no thanks x.x

Typically the only ones who get caught are the companies who make an earning off buying and selling these items and the accounts working for them unless you are publicly on the game advertising you are doing it lol Still a good idea to just not do this no matter what.

If or when they are since it seems like all they do is stand at the GE and advertise those websites for it now x.x That and those gambling bots lol though you can actually win a bit off the gambling bots if you play it right, but I think it's against the rules to even engage with the gambling bots or anything like that too I guess.

It's against the rules to use the gambling bots even if you are trying to reverse-scam them. Which I believe is what people mostly try to do. Some people don't reverse-scam well and lose a lot of money.

I'm sooo not good at doing any reverse scamming  I miss the days when the biggest problem was people going "trimming your items for free". Now I never know what's a scam, even someone trading you a tele-tab can be a scam these days on there @.@

I used to laugh at that. I still see people trying that but more just saying out of humour than from anything else. I think everyone knows about this meme'ing now and doesn't fall for it. The scammers in game are coming up with news way every day to do new things you don't know about so I always say better to not trade anyone you don't know and if something sounds like it might be too good to be true that it probably is and to avoid it.

More reasons I only talk to clan mates in game lol People I've known forever like you and some of them are about all I trust, and you're the only one I trust with my items. Well, mostly because you gave me all the good stuff I have anyway LOL

It's sad to say it but it is smart to not trust anyone on a game. You never know who is just planning to scam you as many of the scammers work people to think they are friends so they can borrow the item and then disappear forever.

That's what bothers me the most lol ~ I still remember that one dude who was friend who almost a year, then when I finally let him borrow my santa hat, he logged off everywhere and I never saw him again ._.

Yeah it was him lol I wish I still had it for the reason alone that he gave it to me, but honestly the reasons he stopped speaking to me where my own fault, and also I could have let some of pride go and said sorry  But I was young and dumb so ya know things happen that you regret. I have all the santa's on there now that you gave me still though lol ~

Who knows he may come back to RS one day and you can speak again and apologize for being dumb as a teenager

Well even if he does it's been like 15 years I don't really think he might remember me lolll I really should have explained the situation to him with what happened, I think he would have been reasonable over it, but instead I blew up about him siding with Tess instead of believing me. Though technically I WAS lying because I didn't think he would listen to my reasoning @.@ What a complicated thing that was lolll That was right before the whole fiasco with the Australian dude and the dragon chain wasn't it? XD

I forgot about him. I don't even remember his name I just remembered that you got into a fight with him and threw his dragon chain on the ground telling him if he want it go get it and some random guy low level comes by picks it up before he can and have suddenly the most expensive item in the entire game on their account.

Now people drop dragon chains on the ground because they have no use for them with the weapons and armor we have that is much better on the game now. Speaking of which, you need to finish your Torva set

I hope it doesn't become something you don't like playing though because you do it for work all day long lol

That's always a risk isn't it. Some people manage to turn their hobby into a successful business and still enjoy their hobby, for other's it turns out to be a big mistake. Personally I wouldn't want to be a professional photographer, having to go somewhere and know I had to produce perfect photos for my clients would destroy my interest in taking photos.

From what I've read here Zeref is going to be fine though.

I was worried about this at first at stopping to enjoy playing the game in my free time if I start to work for the company. However, since we have been playing this game for close to 20 years on and off since we were 10-11 years old, it seems very unlikely I will suddenly in the next year start to hate the game  I get to play the game for work and I enjoy it but playing it at work means then that after work I can also play other games I like because I had enough RS for 1 day lol.

This is why I didn't take up making graphics for a living or decide to study it in college. There are a lot of times when I have phases where I don't want to look at Photoshop for 6-7 months and I feel like if I did it for a living I would grow to HATEEEEEEEEEE it so much, and that would be so sad since it's been a fun hobby for so long. I think Pessi will be alright though, since gaming is something he's good at and he loves this game and wants to help improve it even more

That's the hopeful goal. Since I will be able to get to work on this new Sailing project I am hoping to enjoy doing that and to help with bringing something new.

I'm sooo unsure about this new sailing tbh it doesn't look like something I want to do from the start when they started talking about it some time ago lol I really wish they had gone with summoning.

I was more for the summoning skill too but sailing is what passed in the polls. Even if just by a little bit. I belief with the way it is coming in production stages right now it will be a good skill that will be both playable with groups and single player and have something for everyone in that.
