The article did remind me of something though, why doesn't tip have a ventrilo/skype/whatever? I've always been kinda curious.

 

Tip.it has its own IRC chat room, which in effect, is plenty - you don't need Vent/Skype if you have an IRC server.

Wait, that's voice chat too? I always thought that was just another form of chat like what we have in game, thus making it more inconvenient than clan chats. I'll have to check that out someday. :thumbup:

Again, I agree with the fundamental point of the article, and it's fine that players use these applications to communicate with others. So long as players assume and are prepared for the risks of doing such.

 

That's also the reason Jagex suggests against using them, which is a good thing looking at the average RS player.

 

 

 

I also feel internet communication will keep missing one of the most important parts of communication: body language. Because of that, I don't really care about the short comings of the current communication system, the biggest drawback will remain for a long time.

 

Hmm that's one aspect I didn't consider and that like you said IS a big drawback of internet communication. You can't really communicate body language through the internet, even through webcams it's difficult.

 

true the closest thing to body language we have is the smilies :thumbsup:

All great articles this week! :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Maybe I should think of writing an article sometime. :?

 

 

 

Any suggestions for topics to write on? ;)

Don't.

 

 

 

:pray:

Anyone can write a guest article, who are you to tell people they can't? :?

Wait, we can write an guest article? Oooh, I'll have to have a go at this, I like to think I have a natural flair for writing. I can write about any topics related to RS, yes?

Yes you can!

That said, you might end up having me as your proofreader.

 

 

 

I can't say I have a good record in that department.

I really enjoyed the first article.

Is it just me, or do the fictional articles read as being rather corny?

Well, read the fictional article for once...I must say, it could have been longer. I also want to know why Varrock is being invaded.

 

 

 

Also, having an army surrounding Varrock, even if they don't do anything, IS putting the city under siege; one of the biggest thing about having a city under siege is that it can't get outside supplies. Often times, a siege is more about starving the city then about invading it.

Absolutely loved the fictional article. I have not read the fictionals in a while but i am so glad i did. It has the shaping up to be a great series.

 

 

 

Brave New World: was nice and well written. It makes me wish i had been there back when it all started and i cannot wait until Jagex opens classic again to the public so i can experience what RuneScape was like that long ago.

 

 

 

Third Party Communication: I couldnt really get into this one as much but i agree with many of the points addressed. Well written but not really my kind of article.

 

 

 

Overall good articles this week big thumbs up! :thumbsup: =D>

Unlike most people here I always read the fictional pieces, I think they're the most fun of all. The rest is nice too of course, but the fiction is pure entertainment :thumbsup:. Nicely written too Zonorhc, two thumbs up! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Article: Brave New World

 

 

 

Nice articles as always, though you should really check the names you use before you plagiarize them, as the title "Brave New World" is already taken by the author Aldous Huxley.

The reason will come in time. Also, this arc was preceded by the "War Running" arc from earlier in the year.

 

 

 

And to Varrockians, siege is a state of mind. To them, until there's brutal house-to-house fighting going on, they're merely surrounded.

That's what happens when they tell me to write about Runescape, instead of the GRIM DARK steampunk fantasy I usually work with.

Just so I know, where do we send guest articles? I'd certainly enjoy having a go at the fictional if I could. I'm on the Seer's Journal too! This will be like practice for that and vice-versa. \

i did not enjoy any of the articles -.-

Could you give a reason. maybe something they could fix in them to make them better? Just saying you didnt like them isnt helpful to the writers at all...

^ They were too sophisticated for him.

I'd be interested in reading the steampunk fantasy/sci-fi stuff.

Loved all three.

 

 

 

I really love the nostalgia of Necro's article though, like the olden days with The Editor...

 

 

 

Btw, I left TiF/RS, was the Editor revealed? :x
