Happy 29th birthday, Andrew Gower!
Server costs are probably more than that, and don't forget that Andrew isn't the only one behind this, Paul is also involved and probably gets quite a large share of it. Their employees make way less than 40$ an hour. They make about 10 pounds an hour (20K a year), on average, which translates to a bit less than 20 bucks an hour.

Vendetta
Great. You could combine some sentences, though.

RuneScape's logo: Dated compared to MechScape and FunOrb's?
Yes, as one can easily judge how the gameplay is in a game whose existence hasn't even been confirmed yet.

Tip.it Times Presents: Letters to the editor #10 and Some!
Lol, I thought someone had hacked my account and sent in a letter. Then I rememberd that I sent an article a while ago. I didn't expect it to turn out as a Letter to the Editor.

Zombie Plans-Revised
I'd dust off my 30mm Gatling cannon that I keep in my garage... Maybe a few incendiary rockets, just to be safe.

Hardest quest..
Desert Treasure, Dream Mentor, and MEP2 were pretty hard, but I'm going to have to go with Cook's Assistant for this one. I died so many times, even though I had full Guthans and 20 p pots.

I would say... DS, hands down.

Mechscape - the new Jagex game
I thought runescape was their only multiplayer game? (correct me if i am wrong(Not including RSC)) Could this mean that mechscape could 'Soon' be on its way too? That's been there for a long, long time...

A rollback/reset? :o
06/06/06 was probably the closest we ever came to rollback. However they were not prepared to implemnt the roll back for something lkike 4-7 hours (maybe only 2) after the incedent ended. A roll back of more than 30 minutes to an hour would have dire consequences for to many people. Even a 5 minute roll back at that time might have cost a staker an entire phat set (not a prblem anymore -.- ). A full blown complete roll back...99.99%of members would quit on the spot. Any f2p'er with at least 6 months time playing would probably quit too. And the ruined repretation would hinder game gowth. They couldnt do it, theyed just have to discontinue the game. You don't understand what a rollback is. Every day (well, actually a few times a day) they save the progress of every character. A rollback means that everyone gets put back to their last saved point. They'd never reset all the accounts, but they have done rollbacks several times. It gets saved every time you log out, I believe. I feel sorry for that game...

Why don't we have a sky render?
I don't care about a sky. What I really want Jagex to do is to allow the camera to dip below horizontal level. That way, we can actually see the ceilings of buildings while inside. :D That is, if they decide to actually add the ceilings if they implemented such an update (right now, the surfaces facing downward are completely black). I'm thinking that they'll eventually do that. :-k

RuneScape's logo: Dated compared to MechScape and FunOrb's?
It's not a medieval game, it's high fantasy. Why don't you take a look at the logos of other fantasy games? They look a lot "cooler" than RuneScape's.

Runescape-less and less original
Lol? Fantasy MMORPGs have existed since the '90s, and RuneScape was released in 2001. Most people who worked for Blizzard when they were developing WoW probably didn't know much about RS other than it's full name is "Run and Escape".
-
Runescape-less and less original
Let's say that RuneScape is a red cube, and WoW is a green sphere. The effects of these "WoWifying" updates are the equivalent of sanding the corners of the cube slightly, and splashing a few drops of blue-green paint onto it. They're still completely different games, and these new features are different than the ones in WoW that you are referring to.
-
The End Of Runescape
The reason that WoW is growing so fast is that it's the only MMORPG most people have heard of. -.- By the time RS ends (which will be a long, long, long, long time from now), Jagex will have released both of their secret projects, and I'll be playing them.

It's your funeral...
That is really creepy: Cremate my body, and let it be; nothing stupid or cliche with the ashes, just get rid of 'em somewhere. I'm frikkin' dead, who honestly cares? [/hide] Creepy. I don't think they can really make diamonds from dead people... I mean, they wouldn't be rare lmao. Lol, diamonds aren't rare. :roll: That's quite disturbing, though. For me, I think I'll just get cremated. I heard somewhere that it's cheaper than burial.

Tale of the Begotten Light
Lots of run-on sentences. Otherwise, pretty good.

School play cancelled for racial slur
Was that like, your own personal attempt to become a philosopher? Because you fell hard on your face. The American school system has twisted the meaning of political correctness so much that it isn't funny. Well, maybe it is. Well, that's your opinion your entitled to, but the whimsical, non-sensical phrase you used prior had no relation to that opinion whatsoever. My point: Don't try to use ambiguity to appear smarter. It's called humor. Out of curiosity, what was the original name of the book?

If you're politically correct, you're wrong.

Your Future Plans?
If you have a degree or equivilant in art and design JaGex will let you join as a 3D modelist. I was looking the other day. I am only 13, but I hope to be an author. So, first of all things is finishing SATS, then GCSE's, then A levels and getting a degree in Creative Writing. Yep, Jagex looks interesting to me. For me, I'll have to see... College, obviously. And then... I'm going to be an evil dictator Oh god, working on Runescape's 3D art would be hell. No artist should be put through that kind of torture. :cry: Haha that's what I was thinking mate. We seriously do need to get together sometime once we're in the industry, hah. :P Can't be too bad. Probably isn't too hard, as creating 500 polygon models isn't the most complicated thing in the world. Besides, didn't Jagex win 59th place for Time's Best Company to Work For Awards?
