Hawks Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I thought the first one was pretty interesting until I got to the end and it wasn't real. <_< Second one was short and kind of random.

Daavorian Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The only good thing about realizing that article was false: I no longer wanted to scream because FTP3 was in June...I thought you had been talking to jagex so i was like.. :o not june...so ... long...

Cooliidge Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 My goodness! That first article was just plain mean. Lol. As I got farther and farther into it, I got more and more excited. Then the end came with a "Note:". :mellow: Still, the read was worth it. The second article was also very insightful. It's great to find out that Runescape's population is aging and that Hi-scores are becoming all the more competitive. Bravo! =D> C O O L I I D G E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaumonde Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 That was cruel, disclaimers like that should be in the beginning. In the second article "Accepting this to be largely true, Jagex made a concerted effort in 2010 to cater..." I think 2010 should really be 2009 and "Right now, level 72 woodcutting is required before your rank surpasses 1M and appears in a common stat signature," you only need to be in the top 2 million to show up in the highscores. Someone should have fact checked that article. Stat Progress | Stat Averages | Stat Records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspeeder Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The first article was alright, I knew it was false because most of the supposed updates were holidays that JaGeX would doubtfully put in the game (Though Oktoberfest does sound pretty sweet). I enjoyed the second article despite the couple of factual errors, it really brought up some interesting points about where the community is and where it's headed which is no easy task. DYK was alright but my Living Rocks task made that abundantly clear. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great_one Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i would have been pissed if that was the real plan for the next year. it sounded boring and the idea of the updates reminded me of the poison arrow pub.

SwreeTak Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The first article was awesome. That is something you should have to read before you're able to post in the rants forum...The second article was a great one too. It is important to remember that we have to keep this community friendly. When the differences in between the masses grows this will probably become harder. As more and more players gets higher and higher levels, new players will feel more and more left out. This will make it even more important to have a friendly and open community. If the high level players treats the new players in a good way, and the new players treat the high level players in a good way, we will have a wonderful community. Sadly we're quite far from there today. Let's all hope we come a bit closer to this in 2010. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waheera1 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I can honestly say that the Oktoberfest idea has to be my favourite idea for Runescape in some time! Would be hard to imitate the fun of the real thing, but I'm sure oversized beer Steins would make great weapons... :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mentioned updates could just as well be one of the updates planned for that month. I had a feeling that the article was a fake because the first reply of this thread showed up when opening the thread, so when i read the update for january i first scrolled down to have a peek. :cool: There are three sides to every story: There's one side, there's the other, and there's the truth.

ForsakenMage Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Would you all have been more inclined to read it if the disclaimer was actually in the beginning? That was the problem I have to consider while writing this article, or any article, for the Times. As a writer I have to find a way to draw readers in. Now regardless of the reaction towards it, I'm glad that at least there are some, but disappointed that no one's tried to even write up their own ideas for the year yet. So go ahead and criticize the fact that a disclaimer wasn't even put in the beginning instead of what the article was about if that's what you're so intent upon doing.<_< Adventurer's Log || YouTube || Facebook || Tip.it Times Work || Wanna Join the Editorial Panel?Maxed Out 01 October 2012 PDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
