the other reason guns became fairly popular in the middle ages , other than how little skill it took to effectively use, was that it could punch through iron armor fairly easily. In fact, early guns were the one of the reasons we developed steel. steel was lighter, stronger, and, most of all, it could withstand gunfire.
a bow was still more effective against average soldiers, but again having lots of ppl being able to effectivly use a weapon that could kill noblmen if their heavy armor was very a very attractive prospect in the middle ages, when , if you were a soldier, and you knew there was a knight on the battlefield, it was pretty safe to say you wetrent coming home after the war.

but you still seem to be missing my point. the reason i dont like the idea of just being able to fire shots off in quick succetion, is that even though they dont have a very high chance of hitting, anyone, nomatter what lvl, can stock up on tons of shots and become nearly unstoppable, because if you get tons of shots, and take into account how much damage they would do, anyone could kill a high lvl player fairly easily, because if they get lots of shots, a few of them are bound to hit, no matter hao bad the odds are. so i said you need to have lots of lvls, items, luck, and possibly some other factor, to stop the widespread use firearms so PKing would still be controlled by the person with high lvls, not the guy who somehow scraped up enough money for a gun and lots of shots
-
so you're saying that for guns, instead of higher lvls to matter, you need to read certain books to use, and possibly a ring of some kind to fire it? interesting...
but you seem to have missed the point of my other ideas, like need ing a high archery lvl to use it as to limit it's use, so any newb that creats an account will become unstoppable if he/she/it somehow comes across a gun. this was also the point of the other things i said, like needing a bullet, gunpowder, fire ess, and 10 min between shots to load so that gun's use would not become widesoread, therefor making other weapons obsolete. if the person just needs to read a few books and a ring to fire it, all someone has to do is stock upon rings, either by buying them or crafting them, would become unstoppable overnight.

guns: thats basicaly (dont remember how to spell it) what i said. but i like the idea of the shot having a chance of backifiring, that could be an interesting twist to firing a shot. Having a chance that the weapon would backfire and hurt the user, the high price of bullets, and the time it takes to load, it would limit greatly the number of ppl who would use it while pking. and, an idea for making bullets, making the actual bullet would need a high manufacturing lvl, and you could make gunpowder using alchemy. then you could use the bullet and the gunpowder in the manufacturing widow and have it fire like a spell.and, for having a gun, you would probably need a very high archery lvl before you can effectively use it, or use it t all.
bombs: fo bombs, having it hurt the user if he/she/ it is in range would also limit the number of bombs being used. if it hurts the user, then most ppl would be reluctant to use it if the person gets to close. and, having timing involved would also limit the number used. for example: first, you use the bomb with a fire ess to arm it, then, you have maybe 10 seconds or so before it explodes, which means you hyave to find a target and throw, within 10 seconds , or it will heavily damage the user. plus, if the target come within the blast range of the user, the the grenade will be useless, and if it is armed, thn the user will have to get rid of the bomb before it explodes, therefor making it useless, and a waste of amunition. and one more thing that goes along with the bomb, if the target is killed by the bomb, any armor/ weapon that is flamable ( staffs, leather-based armor, etc.) would have a chance of being destroyed, again, making manyppl reluctant to use bombs exsessivly.
you could also make it ossible for high-lvl alchemists to make bombs. i was thinking that you would use black podwer, leather, thread( for tying it together, and acting as the fuse), fire ess, and wind ess to make a bomb. as for arming it, use a fire ess with it, and have a time limit before it is used.
as for a name for bombs/ guns, bombs: take "the Holy Hand Grenade", from Monty Python, The Holy Grail.
Guns: muskets, fire stick, magic staff, etc.

just a thought, if you add the result in seconds (your minutes result x60) to your result for the death clock (giannis's link), you get the total number of seconds you will live in your lifetime
. just a thought -
now that ive done weapon ideas, heres some armor, weapons and monster ideas:
monsters:
dragons, demons of some sort(mostly for quests), human like things, like, badit, a randon event mercenary, etc. some sort of uber-monster with, like, 5 arms, 3 heads, fire breath, and extremely high stats that only high lvl players will be able to beat. or better yet, needs multiple ppl to kill, so for example, you could have an event with your guild or a party of friends to go out and slay the beast.things like, mythological creatures, such as werewolves or vampires.
Armor/weapons:
plate armor made of steel or titanium. more matirials for diffren armor/ weapons. enhanced armores, so they have special attributes that make it much more powerful. and for weapons, you could add other things like silver, essenses, magic, etc so it has special attributes, like a special ingrediant that gives you an edge over certain monsters. for example: you could lace the metal in your sword with silver so you could have an edge over thing like the said werewolves/ vampires from my suggested monsters. putting special attributes would also greatly decrease the chanse of success, no matter what your manufacturing/ crafting lvl.
-
and, im not sure about this, but early grenades were also developed around medieval/ reneseanse times, so they could be another possible weapon. How they would work, they would spread out damage in say, a 3x3 square, and do an even amount of damage to every character (monster or player) within the blast area, but the more targets are hit, the less damage is done. just an idea
-
well, early muskets DID come out during the later medieval times (or was i reneseanse? i forget) , but they took a long time to load and fire, and were useless in close-combat. Then later, bayonets were made so gunners would have a chance of survival if someone got close. So a musket could work as a polearm with a special attack that has a low chance of hitting.
i was thinking that you could only shoot 1 bullet every 10 minutes or so, you would need to use food points for it, and bullets are extremely expensive, so not many ppl would be able to use guns.
amazing what kind of stuff you learn when you watch the History channel alot
-
you sure you didnt just hit your head really hard? sounds like what happens to me when i wake up and slam my head on something
-
ok, fixed it. Did i miss anything else?
-
yeah, i've been to that site a few times before. I would guess that to figure out seconds, you just multiply your result for minutes by 60.
and i left that part out cuz i doubted many ppl know what time they were born, so that part is optional.
-
not good at rewards, so im only gonna do punishments. i was thinking that the punishments would get worse and worse the more unicorns you kill.
1st offence (1-2 killed): PKable for 3 ingame days
2nd offense (3-4 killed): all monsters in map converge on the unicorn's killer
3rd offense (5-6 killed): al lvls set to 0 for 3 ingame days
4th offense (7-8 killed) 3 most valuable items (in storage or inventory) of unicorn's killer are destroyed
5th offense (9-10 killed) all lvls set to 0 for 1 ingame day + PKable
6th offense (11-12 killed) all lvls set to 0 +PKable + all monsters coverging on killer (multi combat)
7th offense (13-14+ killed) 1st-4th offenses all at once for 2 ingame days

started mid-May, 2005. dont remember the date

i really dont care too much if someone gives their account to someone else, as long as they dont bother me.
Edit: i would be kinda dissapointed if it was one of my friends who sold an account
-
well, i rounded it when i did this, cuz i didnt have time to work in thing like February, leap years, etc. without going even crazier than i already was when i did this. but not bad for a demented doodle
-
hmmm, this looks familiar... Did you get this from www.getamused.com or www.getannoyed.com?

This is something completely random and useless that i thought of in class at the beginning of the school year. my teach was going on and on about stuff that i already knew, and i already finished that night's homework while he was talking. i suddenly just out of pure curiosity, started thinking of random math problems, then i thought: i wonder how many minutes old i am? then i figured it out. This isw how you do it:
step1:multiply 24x60. you should get 1440.
Step2:multiply 1440 by 365. you should get 525600.
Step3:now multiply 525600 by your age. write this down somewhere.
Step4:multiply 1440 by 30.you should get 43200
step5:now count the number of full months it has been since your last birthday.multiply this number by 43200.then write the result down.
Step6:multiply 1440 by the current date. write this down.
Step7:multiply 60 by the number of hours it has been today.it helps if you have a clock that reads army time.write down the result.
Step8:now write down the number of minutes it has been this hour (ex. 8:45, you would write 45).
Step9: write down 7200 for the remaining 5 days in a year (30 day for every month only adds up to 360, not 365) for every full year old you are.
Step10:count how many leap years there have been since you were born (every year that is divisable by 4). add 1440 for each leap-year
Step11: last step, you add allt he numbers you wrote down together. the result is your age in minutes. (optional) add the time that you were born, if you know.
edit: this number is axproximate, i didnt get to work out the kinks before i was interupted by my teacher.
edit 2.0: fixed a few calculational errors.
edit 2.5: you can also multiply your result by 60 to get seconds, but it wont be accurate for very long.
note: i STRONGLY suggest you use a calculator
special thx to The Piper, Anastasia, giannis, and Arnieman for proofreading it
Oh, and my teacher for causing the immense boredom neccesary to spawn this idea

i got my name partly from, i think it was a book or a game ive played, dont remember which. After i downloaded EL when i got home from shool, i typed ror, thinking of that character. Then, my mom told me to feed the fish. When i got back to the comp, i had just lost my train of thought, and i couldnt remember what i was typing. So i just typed two random letters, and got roren

Hmm, i think thats most of them. there will be more.

im pretty good at everything cept PKing. somehow, whenever i try to pk, i always find a band of ppl all with full plate ith serps, a band of ppl all with magic sword, or both. Other wise, im mostly and explorer because, before i do anything in game, i memorize pretty much everything in the manual, then go out and test everything im not sure about.
im such an explorer that part of the reason i left runescape was cuz there was nothing else to explore.

first of all, the difference with guns, and Rings of Damage, is that Rings dont do very much damage at once. anyone with some decent healing pots, spells, or a fast regeneration cloak will be able to heal the damage taken from a ring before you find your next target. with guns, depending on how lucky you are/ the power of the gun, it could easily take out an average PKer if anyone picked it up. and, since rings dont do as much damage, the person would have to be an extremely fast clicker to do any serious damage before he target gets close.
second, i was saying that IF we did get any kind of firearm, there would have to be tons of ways to limit their use, BECAUSE, as you said, anyone could pick one up and kill a noble knight, without any training whatsoever, because it was based completly on luck.most of the ideas i said were ways to limit their use.
