sined_starbo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Pre ordered. I'll give it a go I like to read fantasy novels that's one reason I like to play fantasy based games. A lot of games nowdays have novels to go with them. I just think it will be amusing to see 3 things happen. 1) Actually seeing it on a bookstore shelf. that would give me a smile 2) If at some point they actually use a well known player as a passing character. (I would guess straight off anyone with a vulger name or numbers in their name will be excluded.) 3) When the books come out how many people try to make nicks of any characters from the book just to try and pass themselves off as that person and be famous.

DarkDude Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 i dont see myself buying it personally maybe, only thing i would ever get is a runescape mug! I want the ones Jagex have in their offices :XD: My brother's friend has one. His brother bought some back when he came back last. Also some T-Shirts and things. So I assume these'll be coming to the store shortly. (And this isn't one of those my uncle's dog's shoelace's dad works for Jagex posts =P) I might get the book - can't get it right now - hopefully I'll be able to pre-order it however.

Snapdagon Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 : D I need one! A novel based on Runescape sounds very interesting. The only problem I have is it's so short(Only around 400 pages. Pfft) The lore section of Runescape is interesting so I'm pretty sure I'll like this. I just can pre-order it now :cry: My mom says for me to borrow it from a friend or the library. Cheapskate.

Chaos_Reborn Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I won't buy it, but I can sure that it will be a good read for those who play Runescape and the plot itself already sounds interesting. But I wonder if this is written so that non Runescape players will be able to enjoy the book as much as regular players? In other words, is it a standalone book?

Triquos Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Meh, just another tactic to making more money.. I guess if I was a kid again i'd buy that stuff but i'm not anymore so it doesn't appeal to me :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legosimx Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'll probably buy it, the last book was [cabbage]... The two things they need to have for RuneScape merchandice, LEGO RuneScape or a RuneScape TCG. I might just siggy that. :lol: I mean books work quite well for Blizzard. I am not getting it, as the last book the had, the guide one, was a pile of muffins tbh. Ill pass, but eh...it may be decent. Yeah I saw that Zezima quote...

Kimberly Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Has anyone been able to find information about T.S. Church? I'd like to see things he's written before prior to even CONSIDERING purchasing this book. I'm extremely suspicious that this book will be printed in 14pt font with pictures, like a child's book... EDIT: I DID google search his name and checked amazon.com, but I can't find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krampell Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 If I would order one, I think i would never read it anyway, for the first, I am not a big fan of books in general, and for the second, I don't think reading a book about a game I play would be so interesting to me. I wonder how many will be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish101 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Saw this and thought it could be kinda interesting and that I wouldn't mind paying a fiver for something like that... ...£13 is ridiculous. I read all the time and have only ever spent more than £10 on a book before and that was the George Orwell collection - something I doubt this book can stand up to. Above all else I can't find anything about the author except 1 article in a health and fitness magazine about alternative therapy (doubt it's the same person somehow...) and 1 co-written book about cricket (again, doubt it 's the same person as non-fiction writing to fiction writing is a fairly big step.) Jagex doesn't even tell us how long the book is either. TBH I think I'm just gonna wait for one of the kids who buy it and don't like it to stick it on ebay for a few quid then I'll get it. 40 Barrows trips, 4 Barrows equipment (Guthans Helm, Veracs Helm, Ahrims Skirt, Dharoks Helm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casthewiz Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I think I'll buy one just to set it on fire. As for it's thickness, it looks about as thick as the first harry potter book. So probably 180-280 pages long. No witty signatures for me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune_User Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I looked up the author (T.S. Church?) on Google and came up with this.. http://www.nextbio.com/b/literature/lit ... =TS+Church What? Lol. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordhand20 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Im fine with it as long as they dont bring out action figures. *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficus1055 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Im fine with it as long as they dont bring out action figures. *shudders* What??? I would love Runescape action figures. Espescially if they had like a "make your own" at the shop wear you could customize any outift on a player. Then set up a fullscale GWD in my basement! \ Tumblr. Follow me!

jessy87 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I shall be the first to say this: Jagex, this is dumb. I don't see why people care about the history of RS that much...it isn't so interesting....plus I doubt that the novel is very well written. I'll pass, lol. explain to me how it is not interesting please. Lol, I actually hate runescape history. But yeah sounds good, do they really need more money though they are a company, would you not want to continue your future goals as a company and remain self preserved? i guess, it would be like becoming homeless for person on a personal level. So, ask your self if you want to be homeless or continue to do things to make $. maybe then you will understand. I won't buy it, but I can sure that it will be a good read for those who play Runescape and the plot itself already sounds interesting. But I wonder if this is written so that non Runescape players will be able to enjoy the book as much as regular players? In other words, is it a standalone book? its the internet, if you get lucky maybe someone will Ebook it or something. Hell, maybe even audio book. If I would order one, I think i would never read it anyway, for the first, I am not a big fan of books in general, and for the second, I don't think reading a book about a game I play would be so interesting to me. I wonder how many will be sold. I listened to all the audio books of the Halo series. All 5 books they are actually interesting. Trust me, audio books are nice around the house, so you dont have to sit and just read. But something is lost in experience between the 2. Im fine with it as long as they dont bring out action figures. *shudders* What??? I would love Runescape action figures. Espescially if they had like a "make your own" at the shop wear you could customize any outift on a player. Then set up a fullscale GWD in my basement! \ if it was like. $20 MAYBE I would get one like my character in game same hair with a dark cavalier.

XxTearGodxX Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Eh seems cool I suppose for those who like to read and are interested in RuneScape's history. Not really my kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
