well I don't know how many of you guys know this but there are over 12,900 people in runescape currently who have 99 strength, now this is the most people with a 99 skill overall by far but this is truly ridiculous. That means there are so many people obsessed enough to get to 99 in something even when the game isn't commercial at all, the game is just popular by word of mouth alone...Also I was thinking if runescape were to ever make rare items in the game like party hats untradeable, how would the prices be effected? Runescape could just warn people like a month beforehand that all rares will become untradeable...if this were to happen, would this make all prices go up because you would know you could never own a rare again unless you bought one or would it make the prices go down because people would worry and want there coins instead??? i don't know so discuss away!

There are these things, called paragraphs, you may wish to look into them.

That said. Runescape is not word of mouth alone, they're on miniclip, and there are masses of fansites out there, in addition to indirect google ads.

How is 12,900 people with a 99 Skill rediculous? RS has been for what? 6 years? Trust me, you dont need to be obsessed to get anything to a high level. You could just be bored, or have nothing else to do. and eventually it builds up.

Jagex aren't going to make rares untradeable, for exactly the same reason why the stopped holiday drops to begin with. and prices would depend on simple economics. Supply and demand. The majority of those with more than one rare would probably sell tho, and just keep one of every rare. Unwearable rares would drop dramatically as you can't display them

If you want a 99 skill, just start fletching. 1-99 in a day!

There's this thing, called not being such an ass, you may wish to look into it.

People want to get 99 for the same reason that anyone plays a game - mostly to have fun, but also (mostly in some cases) to be the best.

Also, since the release of skillcapes, people have been striving to get said skillcape since they make you look cool above the other people who don't have one, getting a 99 is also a popularity thing over most things, like for instance, having the Herblore or Farming cape would make you look awesome, because under 500 people have 99s in both of those skills, whereas having a fletching cape, makes you look like the guy they just saw walk by before you did, because there are 1,000+ people with 99 fletching.

Just a thought.
