Jagex Vs. Fansites
Ever since the dark ages of RuneScape, and even more so since the release of RuneScape 2, fansites have been saving Jagex’s ass. As head content developer for RuneCrypt, I have seen quite a few things about how tipsites are forced to function, that I never would have suspected in my 3 year history as a normal tipsite visitor prior to becoming a member of the staff. Programming an easy to use, useful system without breaking any rules becomes harder and harder with each update that Jagex releases. Let me cite a few examples…
Graphical Update?…What we think.
So by now most people have heard about the upcoming ten ton gorilla graphics update for runescape. To be honest, i think its about time something really good like this happened. For the past year or so, jagex has been getting a bad rep over RuneScape due to all the really radical changes they are making. Of course, thats a whole other issue and would be pointless to discuss in this issue. Anyway, to get back to the point. I think Jagex is finally going to get something right. If RuneScape wants to survive in the upcoming MMORPG heat, it needed to buff up its game. Jagex realized that if they didn’t cut the laziness and start working on something that will make people head back to RuneScape.. their pretty much over. After all, most people eventually move onto World of Warcraft (WoW) from RuneScape. Why? Although i don’t have a definite answer, i believe that it could be the possiblity of growing up a bit more. Like for example, as i started to learn more and started to hit age 14-15, i started to realize that there were alot better games out there. That are more fun and graphically more appealing, RuneScape’s visual appeal started to wear off on me and quite frankly, i got sick of it. Read more »
Summoning Mastery
Hello, I’m Deja Vu Xiii (yes, the one from the Hiscores). Last Friday, I became the 36th player to reach 99 Summoning, less than three months after its release. And, despite having only had it for a few days, I quickly noticed a similar pattern of questions emerging from the numerous players I came in contact with: “How much did it cost”, “Where did you get charms”, etc. So, since there’s still a wide curiosity among most players, I decided it would be a great idea if I went ahead and made this my first article here, in an attempt to educate the masses and give the rest of the 99 Summoners out there a breather from all the questions.
