Mining Gold in Arzinian Mine

Just a little story from Kitt Fox. Role-playing in Arzinian mines.

What's wrong with Real World Trading?

Excellent research from Knifestorm on the topic. Apparently, there are not only ethical, but also legal issues behind the full scale war between Jagex and RWT.

Observations on the Grand Exchange

Runescape Gold for Real Money?

I'd like to show you a few different perspectives on this issue. Yes, it is not a one sided thing. I am personally against real world trading for Runescape gold, but I agree, that the game can be restructured to officially allow such trading and still be a fun to play.
All right, here go different views:
You'll get BANNED! from the Runescape Game Play blog
Solving the Runescape Gold selling problem from RS Haven
Real World Item Trading: Crack Down from RuneHead
Yet, again, I do encourage you to listen to the 'You'll get banned' voice, because it is the current reality. Do not do such trades!!! But at the same time I wish Jagex would take yet another look at the whole issue and see if there are other ways to handle it.
