Dear padawan shane, master trekkie, and rocklike earth:

What do you think about the bus monitor incident, and the aftermath (donations and all)?

Also, on a scale of 1 to 10, how beautiful do you think I am?

With love forever and always,

Shane, Trekkie, Earth, and other hosts, were any of you around in the Runescape classic time when Runescape 2 beta was released? My main question is how did the transition from Rs Classic into Runescape 2 affect the economy? Did items lose or gain values, and what items were in high demand when Runescape 2 came online? Lastly, what do you see for the future of rares with this release, should i sell off my rares because i believe prices will drop due to players selling off rares for GP for new items. What is your take on the future of rares? Thanks for the time guys, it's great to be listening to the podcast once again.

Dear hosts and special guest,

Yesterday, I was visiting the various resource dungeons available to me to gain the free Dungeoneering exp. I was sad to visit the Varrock Sewers resource dungeon that contains 6 magic trees...and not a soul was there besides myself. My main question is should Jagex add bank deposit boxes to all the Dungeoneering resource dungeons (like the mining resource dungeon outside the mining guild) seeing as many of them are out of the way and useless if you have to travel too far to bank?

Dear Shane, Trekkie, Earth, and Guest,

A few weeks ago I finally hit level 99 in everyone’s favorite mini-game-skill, Dungeoneering. In doing so, all but 30,900 of that xp came from free xp sources. (I know because I only have 309 tokens and have never spent any). A few stats for you.. It took me exactly 800 days to reach level 99, averaging 16,293 xp a day. At that rate, it would take me until October 2027 to reach level 120.

Question.. Do you think I should continue milking free Dung XP for the next 15 years, or should I actually start doing real dungeoneering and just get it over with, or, a third option, should I just give up on the idea of maxing out all skills and obtaining a completionist cape.

Speaking of the completionist cape, where is the logic behind the insane requirement for 5000 castle wars games played for the trimmed version? If their reason was to get more people to play castle wars, they failed miserably because most of those going for that 5000 game goal just stand around and don't participate. I think a better idea would have been to spread things out among all Runescape activity's, have smaller requirements spread among more activity's, such as castle wars, pest control, stealing creation, etc. That would better represent the spirit behind being a completionist and show that you have participated in all of what Runescape has to offer.

Thanks, and keep up the good work on the best Runescape podcast,
TheLyon (thelion777)

Dear Handsome Trekkie and.... the rest of you,
The beta has changed what we know about how armours are tiered, in the way that now higher level armours are always more powerful, meaning that some rarer items (but are good in the current game, such as Bandos) will not be better than more common higher leveled gear (Torags compared to Bandos).
Do you like this change? Or would you rather have it reverted?

Hey guys, I'm back from a long hiatus again, but back for good I think this time... at least it seems.

Dearest Shane, Trekkie, and magical mystery guest,

What is your favourite armor set in game? I don't mean, "Oh this is the strongest, so this one!" I mean your personal favourite armor set. Mine has to be male Green ele' just because it was the first big thing I got from treasure trails and I think it looks pretty cool.

Thanks,

your friend with questionable sanity,

-Zach

Dearest Shane, Trekkie, Earthykins, and surprise mystery guest,

What do you think would make a good Runescape quest? Possibly a skill or area that hasn't been added yet? Or maybe improving on something already in the game?

Much love,
Magic
