ok, I've always used woot, but does it stand for something or is it short for something? or is it just a random made up word for yay?

The Society for Bad Acronyms?

I googled it.

it said it comes from Dungeons and Dragons players who would say "Wow, loot!" and eventually just devoloped into w00t! which devoloped into an expression for happiness.

hey,
I've known it primarily through the website www.woot.com. It did end up as the 2007 Merriam-Webster Word of the Year.

Ring Wraith is correct. I checked a few places and found that it originated from DG(dungeons and dragons.)

Idk but i have a ring of fire.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #9 on:** June 22, 2009, 06:47:00 PM »

Lol, I see no point in the ring/gloves of fire... Firemaking is pointless to train anyways. Firecape > 99 FM cape.

I'm actually being serious about my computer. It is a noob (here is teh proof

)

I lagged on the jad 4 times on my computer. I finally got mad and did it on my brother's computer and didn't lag once. (I has teh fire cape too

)

That would be your internet, not your computer.

And for what its worth, thats faster than mine and I have no issues...

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #14 on:** June 22, 2009, 07:05:07 PM »

I know, I know. My computer is fine (tons of RAM, 2.8ghz Dual-Core Intel Processor, etc). I just had used the term "pc" instead of "internet" because it was shorter and fit more in hand with the short speak.

Oh, and looking back I lied. I did it on my cousin's computer

(better connection

)

Ah, so that's what the Godsword looks like. ...

Bandos is failure

. Saradomin is the best against monsters (this is the one I own, because I love slayer :3)
Armadyl is the best against players.
Zamorak is good for... Castle Wars? Yeah, lets say castle wars. And Fists of Guthix (Although, D Claws here....). Not much else.

I dont need a SGS when I have the Enhanced Excalibur.

BGS rocks the duel arena, since you can spec every duel.

Duel arena is boring... Here is the ultimate list of minigames
Castle Wars > Fist of Guthix > Soul Wars > Trouble Brewing > Others.

Soooo... what level are you guys? I'm like 115 and 1.7k total or something like that... I don't really remember, I haven't played for like a year... I stopped like a month after summoning :p.

EDIT: 1663 total...

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #24 on:** June 23, 2009, 08:34:05 PM »

Pfft, I love the duel arena.

and im lvl 124 with 1749 total and all quests done.
