Great thread btw... :) When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it? I began playing sometime in 2001. I was going through a phase where I was playing a lot of online browser based games such as Imperial Conflict and Planetarian. I used MPORG to find other games and came across RS. How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It? Players often mistake my character name to be my real surname. It is in fact based on a character from my favourite series of novels written by David Weber. The lead character was called Honor Harrington, and I based my name on her. Did you play any other MMO̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy? I enjoy sci-fi and as such was playing a number of games with this theme. Namely Imperial Conflict, Planetarium and a number of other games whose names I have since forgotten. Did you have any friends help you as you started the game? Nope, I didn't know anyone and I was playing for about a year before I bothered looking at fan sites. What is your proudest accomplishment? I remember when I first started and saw players at incredibly high levels. After about a year, I was begining to notice a few lvl 126 players. I figured, I couldn't ever possibly achieve this. Thus, eventually reaching lvl 126 is my proudest achievement in the game. What is one of your favorite quests to do on game? I enjoyed Recipe for Disaster the most. It was really long and was well structured. The rewards were fantastic as well. Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling? A bit of both really. I'm in a casual clan, and about 2-3 times a month I'll participate in a clan event, be it Castle Wars of Dagannoth Hunting. I spend the vast majority of time playing solo and rarely involve myself in converstations since I multi-task 90% of the time. What is your least/favorite skill? Why? Favourite is Slaying. The skill has great variety and kudos for achieving a high level. Most skills are too repetitive and so Slaying with its variety of tasks and random rewards is very appealing to me. Least favourite is Hunting. It's not an awful skill in itself, but I find the best areas are simply too busy and I find that very frustrating. Beside, the rewards are simply not worthwhile. On average, how many hours a day do you play? I recon I average about 2-3 hours per day, but it varies. For instance, I don't play on a Friday at all and rarely on a Saturday since I've got lots of stuff to do IRL, but on a Monday, my typical day off work, I can spend up to ten hours playing that day. What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others? I've spent about 90% of my gaming time during the last six months workign on Slaying. I'm now lvl 96 and have decided to go for level 99. It will likely take me two more months, but I'm going to stick at it anyway. Do you ever think of quitting the game? Sometimes. I don't think I'll ever completely quit whilst the game remains popluar, but I will likely take lengthy breaks. I have take two such long term breaks in six years, once for 18 months, and another for about 6 months. Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How? TipIt is one of the things that's helped me stick the game for so long. It's such a great resource and often a great community. The guides here have shaped my gameplay and I continue to use them even though I'm very experienced now. How did you come across the Tip.It website? I can't remember now since it was about five years ago. I suspect someone mentioned it to me in the game, even though it's against the rules lol. What do you like to do outside of the game? My passions are science-fiction, reading, archery and movies. I go the cinema at least once per week, and I read 2-3 novels per month. I probably spend most of my time working though lol, about 45 hours per week. What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters? For enjoyable gaming... * Join a clan or community. It helps to have people you can trust so you can perform some of the more dangerous tasks in the game, as well as having people to make stuff for you when needed. * Multi-tasking is the key to many skills. Ensure you've got a TV and DVD player close to your PC. Also have more than one window open so you can browse other sites. Many of the tasks in RS are uber boring and it's vital you have something to keep you sane lol. * Mini goals. Some goals just seem unattainable i.e. 90+ in most skills. As such, you need to set mini goals. For instance, instead of aiming for lvl 97 from 96, first aim for 10m experience, take a break, then push for lvl 97.
