This is on my list of things to buy for my new place because I sometimes get water in the basement. I didn't know about the leaf blower for the gutters! Awesome! Thanks for all this good info, since I didn't know all that this machine could do.

I've had a life-long love of Mary Shelley, so I'm with you in that fan-club! Yes, perhaps it's time for another re-read of Frankenstein.

What a lovely page of photos and information. I love our churchyards, and your looks like a beautiful location.

Looks lovely- so different from the overdeveloped areas in the south of the island

What an amazing woman. I'd not really known much about her. I've just read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ( I thought I knew the story but didn't)- another amazing woman from the same group!

thats not wimptitude thats power- less energy drink and you get a full charge- trust me everyone wishes they were "weak" like you in energy drinks! especially myself!

This is going to make me sound like a right noob, but I didn't tie the two together at the time. Unless I did, but was so focused on the free trade that it didn't register.

I had a mortgage at the time! My friends were so determined that I should have a gilded altar in my POH that they loaned me money to buy supplies to get my Construction levels. I owed 4m gp all told, spread around various people. That's nothing now. I could earn it ridiculously quickly, as I have the levels to do so. But back then, getting 1m was hard work.

I'd just got the levels and put the altar in, on the understanding that I'd slowly pay people back over time, when free trade got removed. I suddenly had a month in which to make 4m. It was horrible! It leeched the fun right out of the game, as I had to grind really boring tasks to do it as quickly as I could. I managed the repayments though. :)

But this all goes to explain why I wasn't paying too much attention to the bigger picture. I'd only been playing for a year! And I'd never been a PKer. All that really registered there was that my PKing friends were upset and leaving en masse.

As for your comments about IVP and Jeff Horing, I'm totally in agreement. That is my impression too.

Sorry, I answered my own question by looking at it. (In my defense, it's getting late here and I'm tired. :p ) I've been doing what you did, working out the spikes and troughs against the history.

Remember that the Wild was also removed. A lot of PKers went with it.

Have you clicked on the 'rising trends' tab? What people are looking for now are the glory days. Topping the list is 'private servers'. It's folk after things like RS2006. In short, people have lost faith in Jagex not ruining the game, so are primarily searching for someone else to fill the void.

How I read it isn't that there's a loss of interest in Runescape per se. There's a loss of interest in Runescape as it is now, or, as you said, as it's been since December 2007. I remember that month. It was heart-breaking.

And yes, that was the point of this article. It was to help with speculation about where IVP are taking Jagex, based on the precedents of their other companies.

Informative and very pretty article, Nick. Editor's Choice! :)

Love the images, they're really striking, but the Goldfinch and Green wren are my favourites. St John's, what a lovely church, too.

Is this for search terms?

Whew after writing all that down and formatting I've exhausted my supply of energy and focus... cracking a can as I write this...

Tower of Light and a hematite. What could possibly go wrong?

I'd only go if you were going with me. Even then, we'd have to check out the 'hood first.

I'd go, but would never go alone. I've seen a couple of shows on this house and this absolutely gave more information - I felt like there must be a vortex as well but also a portal - possibly more than one. Nothing's been closed once they were opened there and feels like there is a LOT more going on there than meets the eye. Never ever go in alone if you intend to go there to visit, btw. If you're at all sensitive, be as careful as you can be. I had dreams about this place for months after I saw the tv show, btw, didn't even *think* to shield...*shivers* would love to know what's there.
