I better get some say in these updates >:o

This is excellent. Jagex keeps winning my love.

Tip.It. Be careful what you wish for. :/

 

It's a great thing since Jagex has finally opened up an official channel of communication, but I suppose you're right. Taking this with a grain of salt would not be terrible, since no one here knows what this will produce in the end. All we can pray for is good.

 

 

 

But dear GOD, that sounds pessimistic.

Does this mean you can say Tipit and not get reported now?

Errr, i read the first page and i don't think people are aware of this... JaGex contacted RuneHQ too. And i bet many other fan sites too. (with the exception of zybez. Dirty RWTers as far as i can hear)

 

 

 

But i think This fan site has the best Helpful Supportive players to Complete A*Cabbage*-Hole players ratio. Which is about 5.1(I love you Tip.it).

 

 

 

All in all, i think fan site input will be great for the game.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: i just read through a bit more and saw that someone said that zybez was contacted? But RS even blocked People from saying zybez in-game :uhh:

:D That's the same thing i thought. This seems really cool, but i really wonder what content they are talking about?

This is really amazing, this will take tip.it to a new level :)

 

 

 

But my question is are we the only fan site receiving this ?

Several fan sites have been contacted by Jagex. I don't know if we're all getting the same 'service' or 'goodies' or 'treatment' or whatever. But we are not the only fan site that Jagex has contacted.

Oh...my...lord...

 

 

 

All I can say right about now...

Yes, a party hat for every tipiter! Wooohoo!

cool now i can tell jagex mods to stop being noobs and removing 26k (which obviously takes tons of skill) no but seriously tip it > all other fan sites there for jagex loves us so we win right

 

 

 

thats not really true... goin by annoucement posts rhq wins that one as they too where contacted by jagex but that was march 11th the newspost for em was posted... i see no reason for tip it to delay theirs so im assuming rhq was first... just mater of time till i see the other large fan site that sdtarts with a z post a notice... but then again they dont do a good job on blocking rwt ads... i used to see em all the tiome till i blocked em and even then idf still see some... i contacted em several times... all i ever get in response is "we try to block em" well you dont do a good job cause tip it and rhq dont ahve that problem... heck i even got a virus once from one of zy---'s ads... so they gonna have to try harder if they want to impress jagex...

 

 

 

congratulation tip it on being in jagex good graces... 1 small step for fansites... 1 giant leap for fansite kind!

:cry: honestly just :cry:

Sounds great. :

Tip.It should put in a good word for Planet FunOrb :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Maybe Jagex just doesn't want to pay for long distance calls to the US? Mark Gerhard needs free anytime minutes.

This could be oracle from heaven, age of Aquarious, prosperity reigns good, or head for the hills, grab the family valuables and a shot gun bad.

 

 

 

On the one hand, Jagex could be showing that they've truly turned over a new leaf and are willing to listen to their paying customers as well as interact with the community. Exclusive content sounds nice, but considering they're extending the offer to most larger fansites, I don't expect much.

 

 

 

On the other hand, they could start demanding more and more regulation of said fansites. They could demand harsher censoring, more banned topics, etc. Also, what is said here may begin to carry over to your character, if it's obvious you own it. By this I mean, say something rude or against the rules here, get a black mark on the official forums.

 

 

 

But we'll know when it comes.

quit plugging your site honestly i'm sure that if they are doing anything about funorb, it'll be last, as mechscape and runescape should (and seem to) take priority over it with things like this, despite the separate teams. if you are good enough, you'll get contacted, if not, don't take it personally. maybe it'll deflate your ego a bit.

Although the dates do not matter, I will confirm that these talks have been ongoing for awhile and they just did not start. we wanted to get as close as possible to being able to announce a lot more. Consider this a warm up post!

:thumbup: After they started giving mechscapeworld concept art I knew it was only a matter of time until Tip.it got its due. =D> =P~ \ Here hoping for exclusive sneak peaks! :thumbsup: :P

As das has already said, Tipit has been communicating with Jagex for quite awhile now (unofficially for years actually). No one bothered to mention it until now because it was not seen as being of major importance.

I've always wondered when Jagex would get around to doing this. It'll definitely be interesting to see where this goes.

 

 

 

As for the exclusive content, I wonder if they've got a list of things they can give out and are going to give different things to different sites. Also, I wonder if there will be penalties (the loss of exclusive content privileges, or something) for those sites that go around and get everyone's "exclusive" thing(s) for their own site.

Mechscapeworld was the first to be contacted by Jagex, and in fact was given 2 official concept arts from them discussing MS.

Actually as far as I can tell all the fansites both Mechscape and RuneScape that Jagex wished to contact were contacted on the same day. We just chose to announce the contact much later than MechScape World & RHQ did.

Juhu, finally! I wonder what these "special" things would be.

Very rewarding for Tip.It I guess :-). I'll type up a list of feedback soon :P.

 

 

 

~Puffins

I don't know how "unique" the content will be, but I am looking forward to more communication and cooperation, and I am very happy that they will take a look at the many great suggestions from the Tip.It users. One can also hope that Jagex will have some demands for the fansite(s) that aren't known for following their rules, otherwise it will seem a bit unbalanced. I am very excited to see how this can improve the website part of Tip.It, and the clan section. A little bias is allowed. ;)

 

 

 

That said, I'm a little disappointed that so many in this topic have chosen to focus on the fear of "noobs" invading from RSOF... Yes, there is more spamming there, but they have many very intelligent posters as well, many which post excellent guides or collect valueable data we'd love to have here. Some of the Tip.It regulars started out on RSOF and moved over here (or still post on both forums), and I would be careful to generalise too much. If someone from RSOF would happen to stumble onto Tip.It forums, they would be just as welcome as any of you. Leave the spam to the mods, and keep enjoying Tip.It. :
