Don't be silly, don't be ignorant. Jagex has always written a guide for every quest. All they're doing is making it more available to the majority of players, rather than unlocking a paragraph a day via QuestHelp. These quest guides are detailed, have a unique 'house style' and can offer intriguing specific information, such as (as mentioned above) taunting with a gadderhammer. They're keen to work with fansites on this, as evidenced by their fansite programs and statement in the FAQ. However, they released this particular guide to jump-start the issue and get some helpful discussion going on. I think it's a great idea, personally, as the maps seem so much more helpful than something your average fansite will always produce and they can do it immediately. The guide is always done, and it's done to a professional standard. They aren't going to start nicking fansite's guides, because the devs need to write a quest guide anyway, largely so that their QA team can do it quickly and check any bugs-for example, they might not notice specially coded things if they weren't using a Jagex-written guide. However, fanistes have a lot more to offer than quest guides, and even in quests, they can offer a lot more than Jagex. With regard to tough bosses such as Nomad and Vanstrom your average fansite can get a storm of ideas going that will suit almost any player and be very helpful and clear. Jagex won't be doing that, because aside from telling you what the attacks are, they expect you to get on with it and not exploit mechanics. In particular, they want you to approach the content naturally, and not just stick by a pillar for the whole fight, carefully use a kyatt, and so on. Instead, they might hint that the pillars are handy for hiding from some of the stronger attacks, and that summoning would probably be a good idea. Jagex can hardly sue a fansite for publishing a quest guide, particularly as there are many, many fansites around now. All they can do is remove a status, whcih won't make a great deal of difference (look at Zybez-platinum is nice, but it isn't the world). They are fully aware, too, that making guides available for purchase would mean no-one reads them: something that Jagex are trying to avoid. What they're doing here is trying to make sure the work they do is even more useful to the average player, rather than being locked away behind questhelp. Do I expect Jagex to change? Well, yes, of course I do. Every organisation changes. Do I think I should panic, and tell people 'watch out! it's coming!'? No. Still sticking to my slightly kooky theory. I do respect you for taking the time to point out all that information though. But with music industry there's several labels and artists and fans and download sites, etc. With the situation we're discussing, most of the legit fansites are known. Jagex would know exactly where to go to. One company, one issue, not so many targets to hit as the RIAA. I do admit that lifting the guides from the fansites was utter baloney. But I stick to the rest of my post.

I had a long reply written but then I realized it was unnecessary. This is the internet. You cannot restrict information on it unless you live in a communist country. Not to mention that there is a HELL of a lot more to Fansites than just "Quest Guides". Just sayin' ... :unsure: Where in my post was that said? All I said was Jagex slowly but surely will force fansites to take down their quest guides in order enact Nail #46 in the coffin and make more money off their players. We all use quest guides. It's simply sinister and brilliant to slowly implement a system where you have to pay money for the only recognized place for quest guides. I am fully aware fansites > quest guides. Well -- there's nothing Jagex can do, really, to keep "guides" from being posted on fansite forums such as this one, is there? :unsure: Jagex does own the content. So anything written about Jagex content could be claimed as copyright infringment if I'm not mistaken.

Pure brilliance. I actually had nice chuckle "irl". Just voted for some random soccer game as it's the only thing I recognized. Plus a vote NOT for Jagex is a vote well spent no matter what.

I do love it when posters harp on about spelling and grammar standards :-D . I could make a list of every error in this topic but I'd die of working too hard if I did so. Sadly, it seems there's almost always one in the post or posts of someone who's complaining about.

Saradomin, Guthix, and Zamorak will team up and push a pillar on Zaros. Sorry. :thumbsup:

So they tell of a new item, the levels required, the things it does, AND ALSO a disclaimer for saying it's useless content. Brilliant.

Hence why I stopped trading person-to-person a long time ago. Heck, I didn't really trade very much even before the GE. Generally used everything I got if it could be used, then would say "Bank Sale" or get on a fansite for anything I wanted to pawn off.

I went straight here after reading the update news to say this: What if Jagex, in their overzealous addiction to greed and capitalism (they are owned by short term investors who care more for the money than the game's reputation or its REAL players) are slowly going to start making quest guides and then: 1. Demand that the fansites let them use the fansite quest guides for quests they're too lazy to write themselves or threaten to shut them down. 2. After that, they will later demand that all quest guides be taken off of fansites. 3. With a monopoly on quest guides, Jagex will charge a "small amount" of $0.49-$0.99 for you to be able to see said quest guide or add $1-2 a month for you to be able to use them whenever you'd like. You may think I'm whacked off on a high but let me ask you this: Did you ever expect Jagex to bring back Wildy/Trade with no real solutions to the original problem? Or to be more lax on the rules with the majority of their memberbase even though everything about that member base screams "ILLEGAL". This isn't the Jagex you love. It's not even the one you remember. It's not even the one you know. Be prepared. (Dont care if anyone has said this yet. I have a delay on my bright idea switch.)

I personally will either do woodcutting, agility, or fishing. How boring you might say. Well... I'd have to agree haha. If you're stockpiling, do indeed follow the advice of earlier posters. Get 70 construction, then do the rest in herblore.

I bought a large amount of infernal ashes knowing they would rise, thinking enough to make 1m profit (I'm a small, indie mercher) and they rose enough to make 300k profit then crashed again. I'm just not even going to sell them. I'll use them to get my prayer up. I paid for them, might as well get 14-15 prayer levels off of them. You may want to consider doing that with the herbs. Just giving up on the cash and going for xp in a skill you'd traditionally never catch yourself dead buying.

Been trying for an hour to log into forums. No go yet. For the first 45-50 minutes I couldn't get past homepage. EDIT: RS forums and homepage.

This is bulll... Making new forum thread for clan in Runescape forums and what should take an hour and a half at most has been 5 hours of work. And I'm not even done with the first page....... I could kill someone if I had a gun. Ok not really, but I'm pissed.

Tom Smith (lead singer of Editors) Jude Law (played Watson in Sherlock Holmes and Vasili Zaitsef in Enemy at the Gates) Larry Mullen Jr (drummer for U2) Keith Murray (lead singer of We Are Scientists) David Tennant (played Dr Who) Ed Harris (played the coach in Radio and Gene Kranz in Apollo 13... I don't know why I find him cute.. but if if I'm ever married to someone, I hope they look like Ed Harris when they're old) James Mercer (lead singer of Shins and Broken Bells) And also I think I'm dissected the language that men use for women: Hot = "I want to have sex with her." Cute = "I want to date her." Beautiful = "I am in love with her." Perfect = "I want to marry her." Men, am I right? Somewhat?

It seems that once I get ingame, I stay ingame though earlier I lobbied in and was automatically disconnected. 5 minutes later, logged back in, in ever since. The forums on the other hands are spotty. They worked decent then all of a sudden it took 20 some odd tries over 30 minutes to post a 6 word post... After finally posting it, they've een slow but bearable (10-15 second loads at the moment).

Stewart Lee only.

It's not my internet, I have a 60Mbps speed on most days.

Forums and all other website pages aren't working I get a "cannot display". Was working fine ten minutes ago... This is rediculous.

Had same problem with Tip.it homepage as well. This is not my day for homepages it seems. :ohnoes:

Touche. Even my pop-up blocker hasn't been able to block the pop-up ads for the past few years I've visited for the guides and such.

The game servers are ran all over the world, login servers I think are based in the UK. Don't quote me on that! I believe I just quoted you on that. :rolleyes:
