JustPokemon Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If F2Ps are allowed in RSOF, I would stay here. If that happens, Mod MMG should use my idea of making a whole new section in the RSOF, and thats the only place F2Ps can post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Jagex contacted Mechscapeworld and provided them with exclusive concept art, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. There's really not much there, just a timeline of domain registering and name copyrighting, with a pinch of speculation. It seems strange that the first website Jagex contacts after years of ignoring them would be that one. RuneScape fan sites have of course done an incredible job over the years and I am glad that Jagex are reaching out to you guys, but while I understand your sentiment concerning MechScape World I think that your criticism and stance is unfair. While Jagex have the RuneScape Official Forums and Knowledge Base for RuneScape, with fan sites allowing for an alternative to Jagex's offerings, besides one approved thread on RSOF the MechScape fan sites are pretty much the only place for people who want to find out about and discuss MechScape. In fact, the RSOF thread ends up spending much of its time discussing content from MechScape World. Since day 1 Tip.it and other great RuneScape sites have had plenty of content to work with, specifically the RuneScape game itself. However, for the majority MechScape World's life (and the entirety of Iddison's time as CEO) Jagex refused to even properly confirm the game's existence, let alone give any concrete information. While I can understand Jagex's reasons for doing so it still made our life hard. However, we trusted in them that it would be a good game, and worked very hard to try and make a fan site (and when I started we were the only one) which made the most out of what little we had. The majority of our content and value is currently in our forums, where we have not just managed to build up a strong community for an unreleased game but have carried out extensive research and analysis. In fact virtually everything people knew about the game was the result of something initially posted by myself or a fellow member of MechScape World (see the 2008 summary, although that doesn't nearly cover it all). We have been posting the latest MechScape news and warning people about scam sites since 2007, and with MechScape being Jagex's upcoming game it makes sense for them to want to work with its leading fan site to give future players a better sense of what their new game will be like.

Chained_life Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 We will probably experience more attacks on the website from crazies trying to hack the admins/mods.

Orioles8 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I don't think we have to worry about Jagex using the threat of witholding content to leverage us. Were they to do so, we could simply pirate (arrgh, avast me hearties!) the said content from other Jagex-Friendly sites as soon as it comes online there, thereby negating their threat. In all honestly though, it's a moot point. TB@JT could simply sick their lawyers on us if they really wanted TIF out of buisness, but it would be horrible PR for them, and would cost them buisness. *~72,749th to 99 Attack on 9 September 2009~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not my intention to imply that your website was a bad website. But after 5 years of ignoring fan sites, even though sites like Tip.It had been running and proven themselves worthy, it seems counter-intuitive, and almost insulting, that the first website they reach out to is one about MechScape, a game that's not even out yet. Not only did they reach out to it, but they lavished attention on it, mentioning it in Twitter updates, providing them with exclusive concept art and interviews. Simply put, I'm jealous.
