Well this is SO stupid! So i guess some people where complaining that not enough people got scythes on halloween so they decided to drop em again....? Well i stayed up to 3 in the morning on the day of Halloween and i got a scythe. If they said that there wasnt enough maybe they sould have got on then because there was more than plenty......I think that if u are not dedicated enough to runescape u dont deserve to have a scythe. There was more than plenty oprotunities to get them on halloween day too. But no u had bigger better things to do. This is very disturbing. Well im just griping. If anyone knows more on this subject or would like to post their feelings please do so.

I live in California, and got a Scythe simply by getting up a half-hour early. It worked fine for me, but for others they had NO chance.

For instance, my mom. Though she doesn't play RS, she would have had no time AT ALL to get a Scythe while they were dropping.

THe best solution is for JAGeX to just write a macro. It would take maybe, at MOST, a half-hour to write, and they could have it drop the entire WEEK of the holiday.

Some people CAN'T get on. Even if they did have the time, many players are kids whose parents won't let them on that early in the morning. Besides, the idea isn't to have the scythes be something that shows you camped the spawn sites at insane hours of the morning (in the Americas); the idea is to have them be a fun halloween thing that shows you've been playing since Halloween 2003. Thus, they should either drop them the entire week, or just auto-deposit them into everyone's accounts.
Those who will remember, will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze.

One of the few advantages of living in Australia, GMT +10. The first drop was at 7pm, no problem at all getting it.

Yeah, it was nice of jagex to redrop them. This is the first drop i've actually got as a drop (got a santa hat as christmas present, which was nice). Other times i've either been out, or didn't know what time, so I can understand what quite a few of you are saying.

Omg people have lives you know. We didn't expect them to stop dropping so early. england is 5 hrs + but they stopped dropping at 3pm EST. which is 8 pm GMT. we need sleep too. most people who play rs are in america anyway.

And thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard. i mean, dedicated to a game? if someone was dedicated to runescape then they would be like lvl 99 in every stat. and more then plenty? maybe because so little people were on.

i thought they were in usa anyway so i didnt bother to get up early. if i did, i still wouldn't because i like sleep.

I think the re-drop was great seeing as my time zones didnt permit me to get one in the time "alotted." I was very displeased and wrote a letter. Going to school and not being tired is more important to me than a sythe. Hopefully in the near future they will do re-drops for us Americans.
