^ No, an instant demo means that no account creation is required to play the demo. Why don't you stop assuming things?

What part of "Members is an expansion of the F2P game" do you not understand? F2P is its own game. Taverly is NOT in F2P. The F2P game itself has no limits. Therefore, its not a demo. The instant demo IS a demo because there are many limits and restrictions. You can only reach level 20, you can only do certain quests, etc. Learn what demos are. You literally just made up everything you said. Jagex hasn't said anything about the demo other than it exists and its for a quick introduction to the game. The demo has nothing to do with F2P. You sound like you're 12 years old and lack the comprehension required to understand what Jagex says.

-Clan Wars, Bounty Hunter, and Duel Arena were in exchange for the Wilderness... No New content -Stronghold of Security/Player Safety was initially implemented so the ADD 10 year olds who wouldn't read the game guide would learn how not to be stalked/hacked.... Not Content, just the rules presented in a way that kids who won't read will learn (which they removed all references to?) -Graphics: The Demo is part of the whole game. You can't update the full game without updating that part of the demo too. To reiterate: The ONLY reason that Jagex says it is not a demo is so they can receive free publicity from the record books for "World's Largest/Best Free MMO/Online Game." F2P is a demo. You don't even know what a demo is. F2P has no limits. You can do everything in the game without limitations. If you want expanded content, you can purchase the Members expansion. Stop being ignorant.

Very good idea on Jagex's part. It gets new players in the game instantly without having to go through account creation, they get a feel for the game and if they like it, they go ahead and make an account. I'm glad Jagex is stepping up on their advertising lately

Did it in 12 turns and my companion was Fluffy. Not sure what the extra reward is... Anyways, pretty good event. I liked it mostly because it showed the amazing graphical update of Trolls, which I now can't wait for!

So true.

I also play the game because I simply think its an enjoyable game. Yes, the community is literally the worst of any MMO, but thats why you can turn off the public chat. I keep all my channels to Friends and I just chat with my friends over Ventrilo while playing Runescape. It's very enjoyable and the community aspect ceases to make a difference anymore. The buyable levels is definitely a bad game design choice, but it was made by a newbie developer at the time (Andrew Gower) and the whole game is sort of based on this aspect. I guarantee that Stellar Dawn won't have this aspect because Jagex has learned a lot from Runescape.

First article: Yet another article that tells us what we already know. Its as if the Tip It Times writers get together in a room and find out ways to be as condescending as possible.

lol ok... i really wanted to get back into rs but i just cant do it :( You thought grinding for hours to get a 99 would make the game more fun? Do you know what fun even means?

LOL @ Apple's mouse and keyboards having literally no wrist support whatsoever. I guess being trendy and cool is more important than being comfortable.

Pretty lousy blog to be honest. Previous blogs were longer, had artwork/pictures, and actually revealed future content that would be coming out. This was more of a forum post than a dev blog...

Does anyone have before/after shots of the graphical update to the Fishing Guild?

Thanks for the info

Ya, Mod Emilee is on vacation (which is also why we have no Game Update FAQ in the Recent Updates board). It just seems odd that both of these functions aren't taken up by another staffmember. Seems pretty sloppy, but oh well.

If you drop some of the books in your bank, will your POH bookcase continue to keep those books? Or does the POH bookcase depend directly on the bank?

I really hope Jagex opens up to the add-on community if they come out with a full-featured C++ client. Add-ons make WoW excellent, WoW without add-ons is ridiculous.

Exactly this is false advertising. Normal dungeons do not have so many spawns. I wish all the normal dungeons had this faster respawn feature. Then it wouldn't be a struggle fighting other players for monsters while slaying or having to log into the fullest worlds for faster respawns. I also hate the death animation it's far too long. False advertising? Having content in the game that is different than similar content is false advertising? Time to stop playing video games buddy

It was not the 300th quest. It was simply the first quest that allowed us to break the 300 QP mark. After the next quest is released, ANY quest will be able to give 300 QP. This quest was not special AT ALL.

Or it could just be a cool aesthetic item for dedicated questers. Seriously, why the hell does everyone want this helm to have such a higher purpose? Take it for what it is, and stop dreaming because Jagex has already stated they are releasing high level combat equipment once they balance the combat triangle.

I think Morningrise needs to stop talking about high level content when Jagex has already stated that they are working on filling all the levels from 80 up for all skills. No one likes broken records. Stop whining and just wait patiently for Jagex to carry out their promise. Otherwise, cancel your membership and stop talking about it, because Jagex schedules their own developments months in advance and they dont rely on community feedback to alter their development schedules.

ANY quest will be able to give someone 300 QP after the next quest is released. Low IQ?

Head of RuneScape isn't the same as CEO of Jagex ;) Fetzki and Mark (NOT MMG) are basically the lead developers, ideas, creative leads basically, where as MMG is a person that goes around and asks hows the projects doing, and goes between departments and such What happened to Andrew? I thought he was the lead developer. Andrew - Lead Developer of Jagex (develops the game engine, toolsets, acts as a guide) Mark Gerhard - CEO of Jagex (business oriented - making sure everything is operating smoothly) Fetzki - Head of Runescape (basically the executive producer of Runescape as a whole)

^ Hardcore players do not make up the majority of the Runescape populatoin. Jagex is right to push away the hardcore 99'ers and make the beginning of the game better. If the beginning of the game sucks, no real PC gamer is going to play Runescape, which is why the population is steadily declining. Runescape consists of people who went through the terrible beginning because they were children on Miniclip and didn't know what good games were. For example, when the new tutorial came out "hardcore" players were complaining that it doesn't provide enough info. What hardcore players dont understand is that normal people dont want to go through 20 minutes of tutorial and learn the ins and outs of the game, they wanna get a basic action-style intro to the game so they can eventually learn things while actually playing. Play any real game like Mass Effect and tell me if they contain 20 minute tutorials XD

He sounds like a German that has lived in England for a while. His accent is a hybrid of German and English. His name is definitely German..

Troll - n - One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument Learn what troll means before you call someone a troll. There is no such thing as a gameplay "fix". You said "when has jagex ever fixed anything" and I gave you a small list of things they have fixed. If you mean gameplay improvements or content additions, then make yourself clearer. Good try though kid, get back on RSOF before you embarrass yourself ;)
