You have a lot to learn about how to earn money in the game. There's a lot of easier ways than that. Why don't you try Zybez - It's a really good site with loads of information about how to do stuff, and it has a great forum too.

Hi, Deano, I am a friend of jason. I really like the way you explain runescape, I also like the nice thing of runescape -- it's free. On the other hand, however, to earn money is a tedious and dangerous task, so sometime you needs to spend real money for in game "runescape gold". Last week Jason and some of our friends just bought the rs2 gold from some site called ogpal.com, it's just 50$ but I don't need to do the boring stuff. I had a runescape account of lvl 118, and 2 months ago I start taking up the maple stories, so I sold it for 120$ to my school mate.

Hello :D I really enjoyed this blog. I currently am in the market too. I play a middle man and recently earned over 7 million gold in a week from a newly discovered marketplace. A well guarded secret of course but very good luck to you :D

Ok, first, I am lvl 118 in runescape, i have about 60m in items, but ive been playing for 2 years, and personaly i think your all noobs, no offense, the enconemy swings, rare prices rise other items fall, its just part of the game. play the game to have fun, not sit around and merchat all day, currently im working on 99 atk & str, which i have acheived 99 str, and will be 99 atk this saterday, after spring break i plan to get 94 mage, to pk, because overall i tihnk the wilderness is the most fun of the game. Don't add me cuz ill never be on, to many noobs pm me neways.

Even though Runescape's economy is encouraged to stay away from the real-world economy, it is inevitable that they mix. Both Runescape currency and real world currency are products of time and work. Time and work are constants across the real world and Runescape economies. To make Runescape gold, you need time, and to make real world dollars, you need time. In my opinion, Runescape needs to make gameplay more dynamic and involved. It shouldn't be the repetitive clicking that it is now. There was a very in-depth discussion topic on zybez about this. It explored the motivation that Runescape players are led to experience. It's that repetitive time-intensive task of raising stats and earning gold that allows Runescape to function as a business. However, in my personal opinion, I believe Runescape's business model can be sustained while making the game more entertaining. This will drive away players with the sole purpose of collecting gold and bring more actual players into the game. This revolution should distance the real world and the Runescape economy.
