can't a guy make a typo and fix it so that nobody knows about it?

no way.

Yea, I knew Obsidian was real. Although if its fragile, then why can we have obsidian mauls and frisbee disk things without them breaking into a million tiny knives on runescape :-k

if they would that would be one painful weapon, not to mention worthless.

Who cares, Iron, Coal, Silver, Gold, and Bronze are also all real compounds.

Well, granite is real, but its not a mineral.
Rune, I guess is the titanium of the RuneScape world.

addy in runescape comes from the term "Adamant" meaning along the liens of determined, like "I was adamant to get my computer fixed"

:wink:

Okay thanks for clearing that up. Adamant doesn't really exsist

Jagex did a lot of home-work. Iron, bronze and steel are real too!

So it seems like I'm the only one whose never heard of obsidian before this?

I feel so... Special....

The Aztecs made swords called macanas by fixing obsidian into wood. I would venture a guess that the TzHaar language was made to resemble that of the Aztecs.

even the most outrageous and distant works of fiction have at least some grounding from reality, otherwise we wouldn't be able to connect with the storyline / game so easily.

so just as jagex gets alot of ideas from books, tv / movies, other games, and rs players. they also research alot of new items and materials from reality to keep the game's reality connected to our addicted minds
