Arceus Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Time for a new release of the: >>>Tip.It Times!<<<WRITE FOR THE TIMES - SUBMIT A GUEST ARTICLE:Remember, YOU can write an article for the Tip.It Times! You can apply to write full time, or just submit a "one-off" guest article any time you want! Our editors will work with you to ensure that your article is ready for publication. All guest articles can be submitted to @Arceus or any other Editorial Panel member. For more information, including details on how to apply full time, read this forum thread: http://forum.tip.it/topic/209138-how-to-write-for-the-tipit-times/I'd like to remind people of the rules pertaining to Times threads:[hide=Read these rules before posting in this thread]Rampant flame wars have taken control of virtually every week's times discussion topics. The following guidelines must be followed when posting on this topic. Posts that ignore these guidelines will be removed.1. You are invited and welcome to express like or dislike on articles and a particular author's writing style. It is not acceptable, however, to flame or personally insult an author. Posts that aren't anything but an attack will be removed from the topic.2. Spelling and grammar errors can be reported to tripsis by PMing her and they will be fixed promptly. It is not necessary to post them on the discussion topic.3. Off topic posts that do not discuss the content of that week's articles will be removed. This is not the place to discuss the direction of the times, how much you love or hate the times, etc. Off topic posts will be removed.By keeping within these guidelines, Times discussion topics will mean more for the Panel and Administration than just a place for flame wars. Flame wars do not provide any useful feedback to the Times, which is mainly what we're aiming for with these topics: feedback.This policy is effective as of now, November 17, 2010. Any posts prior to the creation of this policy may or may not be removed according to the new guidelines.[/hide][hide=Submitting Crossword Puzzles]If you want to submit your own crossword puzzle, it's quite simple.Simply provide a word list (about 10-20 words) with their corresponding clues. Then, message @Arceus with the word list and it will eventually be published in the Tip.it Times![/hide] [hide=Picture Caption Contest]See the Times article for more details on how you can win a free bond in our contest! Please be aware of the following rules: 1) All Tip.It and Jagex rules apply2) Captions can be submitted either by posting on the thread or through Google forms linked within the article.3) In the event of duplicate or very similar entries, the earliest such entry will be considered and others discarded.4) Depending on the quality/quantity of entries, the Editorial Panel Staff may elect to put up a few choices for a public poll. The Editorial Panel reserves the right to discount votes or disqualify participants on suspicion of gaming votes. Only one vote per person is allowed.5) Catch-all: the Editorial Panel wishes to provide a friendly and fair contest to the community, and reserve the right to take appropriate measures if necessary.[/hide]When replying please make sure to clarify the article you are replying to! Thanks!If you spot any typos or mistakes in an article then please PM them to @Arceus. :)Enjoy the articles! "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

Sobend Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Nice job on the freeplay article. As someone who spent a lot of time in freeplay I found the pure freeplay article interesting. Freeplay has gone through lots of crap - the subscribe button being the most annoying for me. There is a minor mistake. In the second article it says Korasi's sword comes from a minigame when it should be quest. -Sobend Proud to be free from the tyranny of pants. Hurrah!

strilmus Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I understand how the diehard f2pers valued their own accomplishments under the limitations of the free servers (having spent years grinding away when I didn't have money to spend on members), but it was hard to deny that the fenced in edges of the world seemed to exist for the sole reason of pushing players towards subscriptions, even if they weren't as blatant as they were back then as they are now. As for Plague's End not granting new equipment....aren't the crystal sets waiting to be released with the city and the quests associated with it?

Miss Lioness Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Indeed, the crystal equipment will be unlocked inside the City, so if you have completed PE then you also get access to these crystal equipment. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?~ Marianne Williamson For account help/issues, please follow this link: Account Help.
