Recksash Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 B/c of RS, I am a better typer :) I guess, typing in my username and password a bajillion times helped. I can also type "buying" or "selling" with my back to the keyboard \ They should make you play RS in elementary school to learn how to touchtype. 1/2 the world would be able to type like 80 words per minute. :mrgreen: Has RS helped any other tip.iters learn how to type?

Kilo Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I would say yes, 40 wpm to 90 wpm and 100 wpm when I try really hard is a vast improvement as far as I'm concerned. :) Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Oscar Wilde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Runescape didn't help me with typing, but the internet itself did. I started on the net in 92 or 93 with AOL and Prodigy. Staying on those really helped me develope typing skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_ Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yes, 5 years ago i could type English, but it was horrible, now it has improved so much, so yeah, rs has it good sides :P. Some people dream of success, while others make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smapla Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Heh, I remember a while ago realizing how fast I could type, and realized it had a great deal to do with runescape. It's also made me incredibly intolerant of bad spelling, grammar, and illogical statements :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acenator Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Runescape is really the only reason that I can type as fast as I do. Without Runescape, I'd still be typing at about 25 words per minute. :-w > SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;0 rows returnedThere's no place like 127.0.0.1There are only 10 types of peoplein this world: those who understandbinary and those who don't.This statement is false.$DO || ! $DO ; trytry: command not found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Personcowcow Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Has RS helped any other tip.iters learn how to type? No, I could already type 80+ WPM. People with fluffy pink avatars are generally expected to be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 - I can type my passwords in about a tenth of a second nowadays, but my typing speed in general hasn't improved all that much :| .

Jacks0n Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 You shoulda seen me when I started... I was like speaking full grammer REAL slowly, but now I can do assignments faster that anone else :D ~[Blog]~[CrystalMathLabs]~[Last.fm]~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well, I did have some 50-60 wpm-ish before I started playing. It improved somewhat. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wachtwoord Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I actually learned english from the RS and the related forums. Ofcourse I've had english class, but that's so fake. I learned grammer and translations in class, but I think that's equal to the amount I learned on the internet. But what internet it really thaught me is the linguistic feeling (sp?), because I actually used it here I can really speak and write english now, opposite to French and German. I wouldn't even know how to write this simple piece of text in those languages. It also really helped me on my vacations, I still go with my parents, but now I can at least communicate normal with foreigners! (Yea, I know, this text had probably some spelling errors in it.) This is indeed kinda off topic, so to answer your question: yes, it helped me type faster, but only in english though, I'm still terrible slow in Ducth (my first language)! :lol: When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeroh Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 well, yea. I practice my typing a lot on runescape, but I'm trying to start using correct capitalization and better grammar on runescape. I learned how to type a year before I started RuneScape, so starting runescape wasn't that big of a deal towards typing. Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatshepsutLecter Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hasn't really helped my typing all that much. I tend to not use the apostophe in the game because I hit the enter key by accident too many times when I try. And since they were doing that thing where only the first letter of the sentence was capitalized I don't really use any capital letters in the game. I have to put in more effort to type properly now.

25leaf Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah I guess it has at least kept my skills up if not improved them a little. One word of adivce though. Don't try and I.M. and merchant at the same time. I accidently typed buying cow hides a few times to someone before noticeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
