GlowinRedM Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well, this is the second time I've seen it. Instead of putting something on Runescape as an update, they make some news post for their other site as the highlight front-page update of Runescape. Why?! Shouldn't the Runescape updates show, I don't know, RUNESCAPE UPDATES? o.O The corp beast, is, well, just a corp beast. He doesnt even have any friends.[spoiler=Other Quotes]tbh idk why this makes me laugh so hardAll DFS threads turn into efficiency flame wars >.>>OP asks "why use DFS?">everyone says "there is no reason">someone says "stop bashing people who use DFS, efficiency troll ass clown">thread is now a flame fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capheraekton Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Advertising Fun Orb on Runescape to get Runescape players interested in Fun Orb makes plenty of sense to me. It's basically free advertising for Fun Orb, so it would be pretty silly not to do it. It certainly doesn't cause any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arilauske Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 It's Jagex's website and they can do with it as they please. If they want to advertise their other gaming website on it then they are perfectly entitled to. Sometimes I think there's no hope for the RuneScape community :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlowinRedM Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well no I'm just upset, as the site is for Runescape, why make it the main headline? They can't use one of the little things underneath like they do when they release something minor (like the Wallie card update)? The corp beast, is, well, just a corp beast.

I'm sure Jagex wants as many people to read it as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bored321 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Not the first time they have advertised funorb, and not the last. Get used to it. Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arilauske Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Why on earth does it upset you that Jagex, a business, wishes to advertise it's other facets in order to potentially make a little more money. Besides when a new update is released it would knock the FunOrb post down anyway so i can see no real problem here at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecuttingyews Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 gtfo orb hater Yeah! What he said Go To FunOrb orb hater! On topic - Jagex has a right to advertise on their own sites. Actually it is genious because not many other minigame sites like Miniclip would advertise for a rival site. So it it really the only place they can advertise to a large number of players without having to pay enormous fees. Plus if you love Rs and Jagex, why wouldn't you at least try out one of their new games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladylinux Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Does it in any way effect the way you play Runescape? If no, then why complain. If yes, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe see Dr.Phil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will H Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 They are perfectly entitled to advertise their own site every so often. It's the most cost effective advertising they could possibly do. The summer RS update 'drought' is an unrelated issue, since the sites are generally handled very separately. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't use one of the little things underneath like they do when they release something minor (like the Wallie card update)? Minor non-game-related updates often do get top billing. They simply sort them by time-order, and if they release a bunch simultaneously, they choose their own sort order. You are upset :lol: Best. Signature-post synergy. Ever.

The lack of updates is getting really irritating. I 4th this...I thought this summer was going to have at least one "epic" update. Maybe it is? And this has all been some trick to throw us off guard. This. I do not remember a SINGLE skill release where Jagex went and released a game content update the week before (all the way back to farming - I was around for slayer but not reading the updates yet). We figured out the construction release this way, because the Behind the Scenes for May '06 specifically said 'chairs you can sit on', and it was the 2nd last day of May with no update the last two weeks. (Off topic: Does anybody miss the simple Behind the Scenes monthly posts? The massive blog volume now is just annoying in my opinion...) Here are a list of all of the weeks skipped by Jagex in the recent past: 04 + 25 August 2009 - figure an epic update for skipping two weeks? 29 Jun 2009 - Mobilising Armies came out the next week 10 Mar 2009 - Next week release was quest PLUS route-tracker server upgrading 03 + 17 Feb 2009 - Soul Wars 02 Dec 2008 - 2 achievement diaries and PvP updates the next week 04 + 18 Nov 2008 - WGS and SC 08 Oct 2008 - PvP world introduction 07 + 21 Jul 2008 - RS HD introduction 24 Mar 2008 - "Summoning 2" 08 Jan 2008 - Summoning 21 Aug 2007 - God Wars 01 Mar 2007 - ...? 14 Dec 2006 - Hunter 11 Oct 2006 - Skillcapes 24 May 2006 - Construction There are about four more that I found dating back up to three years - oddly enough, all of them are before free-play updates. The evidence clearly shows that after skipped weeks in terms of updates, the next week is usually something pretty sizable (or maybe a freeplay update too). Either way, it makes little sense to me to complain about these things - it's usually a cause of a bit of excitement for me =P NO MERCH - NO PEST CONTROL - NO SOUL WARSLowest combat (only sub-90) on the TIF high scores list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrph3r Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Jagex has pushed many updates to Wednesdays before - somebody also said it was a bank holiday in the UK so we shouldn't expect anything until tomorrow at least.
