[Draaan]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

[Peronix]

Here's my interview.

 

 

 

Great thread by the way, fun reading some of these interviews.

 

 

 

[hide]When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

 

I came across RuneScape back in the 7th grade; a lot of people at my school played it. Heard many people talking about how they got x level, and I decided to start playing. Truthfully, I thought the game stunk, and I quit after a while, then in the 8th grade one of my RL friends re-introduced me to the game and helped me a bit. Have been playing it ever since, with the occasional 2-3 month breaks. I'm in the 12th grade now so... I've been playing a while.

 

 

 

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

 

I actually have had this online name since 1999, before RuneScape even came out. I used it for e-mail, and then when I got into MMO's I started using it for my characters. However, just because someone is named 'peronix' dosen't mean it's me. It's rare, but I have encountered a few 'impersonators'. I started to use tip.it about the same time I started playing. It was always a useful help site. Although as you can see, I didn't sign up for the actual forum until 2005.

 

 

 

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

 

At the moment, besides RuneScape, I play Kingdom of Loathing, although I don't know if that counts as a MMO. It owns though, try it. And don't judge it the minute you see the graphics, either. I also used to play City of Villains some, I want to get back into it but I can't afford the $15 a month ATM. My char is level 35/50 on that game. As far as other games in general, I enjoy a good RPG, and I can stand some FPS games.

 

 

 

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

 

I had my RL friend help me, but he dosen't play anymore. He isn't nearly as dedicated to games he gets into as I am. He got me into Kingdom of Loathing, too, but he dosen't play that one anymore either.

 

 

 

What is your proudest accomplishment?

 

Fire cape, just by the huge amount of pride I got when I saw the beast fall. Way more satisfying than seeing "Your cooking/attack/fletching level is now 99".

 

 

 

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

 

My all-time favorite quest was the Underground Passage. It was defiantly the longest and most difficult quest I have ever done. It is probably easy now in RS2, but I wouldn't know. Legends probably would have been my favorite if I had gotten to do it in Classic, from what I've heard it was way, way harder back then.

 

 

 

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

 

I'm a loner. I've never had any lasting online friendships.

 

 

 

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

 

Least favorite skill is mining. I hate it more than your typical Malaysian MMO. It's like the firemaking of the gathering skills. Favorite skill, despite its abysmally low Xp/Hour is RuneCrafting. Tons of profit, and certainly more interesting than skills where all you do is click on trees/rocks.

 

 

 

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

 

Well right now I play anywhere from zero to 8 hours a day, but the average I'd say is around 3.

 

 

 

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

 

Current goals are 99 firemaking and 85 slayer. For some reason I enjoy FMing more than slayer :-k

 

 

 

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

 

Nope, but I do think about taking breaks from it. You never really quit this game anyway, most of the time you find yourself going back to the website to look at the recent updates, and if they bait you enough you come back. The only games you really do quit are ones that never get updated, or are just abysmally boring.

 

 

 

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

 

Yes, I find that updating blogs and posting achievements has kept me going towards goals that are otherwise pointless.

 

 

 

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

 

Google. Was looking for a RS help site and this one seemed the most helpful at the time.

 

 

 

What do you like to do outside of the game?

 

Hmm, well I enjoy cooking, I seem to have a natural gift for it. My experiments always seem to turn out better than my mom's. :

 

No I don't like sports :P

 

 

 

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

 

If you set a goal that you find boring, find another boring goal you'd like to achieve and have two boring goals. That way if you get tired of one, you can work on the other, and when you get tired of that one, you can go back to the other. That's how I got 99 cooking and 4k chompy kills around the same time. No more than two goals though, it dosen't work so well after that. Trust me.

[n_odie]

THanks for the interviews, DONT FORGET TO VOTE! =D>

[wakka102]

haha I remember when you asked me to take this! That was a very very long time ago :D

[jemathonical]

I think its aweful how this thread is seeming to go now.

 

 

 

Everyone seems obsessed with posting/sending in their own interview and isn't actually bothering to read any of the others.

 

 

 

So far I think all the interviews in the first posts are excellent and a nice interesting read.

 

 

 

Its kewl to find out these little things about the well known tip.iters

 

 

 

Though it does get tedious reading through the interviews of the utter unknowns as I have no idea who they are in the first place.

 

 

 

That's why I reckon this should've stayed in Blogscape where not everyone could just join 2 days ago and have an interview.

 

 

 

 

 

I have read over the voting thing and I don't really get it. Do we say +1 enjoyable for an interview that we enjoyed?

[Fireblade3730]

Hmmm wasn't planning to respond but after reading a few I decided to :)

 

 

 

[hide]

 

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

 

I started in 6th grade (I'm a junior now, do the math :P). My friends at school were all obssessed over this game so I decided to check it out.

 

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

 

It was my username for AIM and Neopets sooo I picked it.. I hate it now though :[

 

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

 

I didn't play any other MMO's before Runescape. But afterwards I've tried a bunch like Silk Road, MapleStory (best after runescape), had a trial for WOW, annnd Ragnorak.

 

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

 

Yeah my rl best friend gave me some money, tips, a bit of armor, and helped me do my first quest: Cook's Assistant :D.

 

What is your proudest accomplishment?

 

Probably aquiring a fire cape.

 

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

 

Hmmm it's hard to say, I think my favorite may have been Desert Treasure

 

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

 

I'm sort of a loner, but I try to skill with friends when I can.

 

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

 

Slayer because I'm not too much of a fan of combat, and slayer is like combat, except you're forced to train on certain monsters for exp :/

 

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

 

Used to be around 5 or 6, but now it's more like 2 or 3.

 

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

 

My current goal is to get 10 mil+ and some good items :D and also 91 runecrafting.

 

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

 

I've quit before, planning to quit again though since the game is getting a bit bland.

 

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

 

Yes, this was the first fansite I've ever visited for Runescape, it helped me with EVERYTHING. I don't think I'd still be playing runescape if it wasn't for all the help tipit provided me with.

 

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

 

I don't quite remember... I think I googled it.

 

What do you like to do outside of the game?

 

Hang out with my friends.. play other video games.. that's bout it :P

 

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

 

Rock on! Keep doing what ya'll are doing and keep this game an awesome game! :D[/hide]

[sebbeberg]

I really found Misterxman's interwiew fun, mainly because he's one of my favorite runescapers all time. :wink:

 

 

 

Oh by the way, you got mail.

Yeah I think this thread needs to go back to blogscape perhaps and at the same time have all the completely unknowns weeded out from the interviews, I mean I only recognise 12 people on the list, besides myself.

 

 

 

Also perhaps then the interview process can be more selective by actually pming well known tip.iters to ask for an interview.

 

 

 

Perhaps a mod should be pmed to request this be moved and cleaned up a bit (as in delete the posts of interviews not put up by n_odie) to make it more official etc.

[n_odie]

Cleaned up the post :D

[n_odie]

Here are some new ones for all ya ^_^

[coenvg]

I loved to read those interviews in this thread :D , but what do you mean with the voting system?

I was trying to sove thius problem by the voting section which no one seems to notice. :S

[n_odie]

If you like one tell me and ill highlight it as a most liked :P
