Oergg, wouldn't it have made more sense that they bring this out with the launch of the game though?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They did all that promoting the game, even going as far as advertising the game on sites like Miniclip... Surely they should have known that the CS querys were gonna be coming in by the masses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Launching the Knowledge base with RS2 would have made a lot more sense. This is coming far too late to seem like a move to cut down on customer support querys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is all coming off the announcement by Craven (I think it was) when Jagex visited his college and said they were hiring more customer support staff.

Their Rogues Den map is almost a copy of tip.its. Either I'm really good at knowing the exact place of all the traps or Jagex used my map as a reference for their own because the similarities are uncanny!

Currently: Using 63 hunter to get some of those "Chins", then I'm going to range stuff down. Interruptions of agility when I feel like it, as well.

And lucky enough to get 4 Dragon and 6 Barrow Drops.

[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.

I think some of you are taking it too far with the "Jagex is trying to kill fan sites" crap.

 

 

 

I strongly doubt thats their intention!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also you people posting " The jagex map of "wat ever" is identicle to tip its "wat ever" map!!! Jagex = theives. Thats just crap...what the hell do you want their maps to look like?? You would all moan if the maps looked totaly useless....corse they are going to be simlar!! They are maps of the same place. DUH! Also on the topic of maps...i think jagex's new maps are stunning. I hope they change their "world map" to look like the smaller maps they have in the 'KB'.

How can fan sites get screwed when the people who are working on the Knowledge base can't even get the stats to a cape right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It does prove one thing even further though... they are STILL out of touch with their own game.

Funny you should say that. Because I've counted at least three mistakes they've made posted on this thread already.

The knowledge base doesn't have the one thing that makes fan sites great - a good community. Thats what makes tip.it great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the KB does replace a lot of what fan sites do, but its info they should provide anyway

I have to get practically naked when I'm cooking bacon.

I may be immature, but that made me laugh!

ya, its just minor [cabbage] thats a mistake, tho i kinda think its ONLY in beta so they have an excuse for the errors, cuz what else can they really add besides future updates?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the location ov this 'can' place;P

I don't think Jagex are trying to kill fansites. I just think they are trying to provide the playerbase with basic general knowledge that people are curious about and could only find on outside sources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think they'll ever disclose all the info fansites do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yea of course maps are going to be similar I just thought it was pretty remarkable that the rogues den map is almost completely identical as far as the trap position. Guess I was just braggin about my own skills sowwy, didn't mean it to sound like I was whining.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wasn't saying they were stealing anything, after all they are maps of Runescape which Jagex owns...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as their maps looking better I have to strongly disagree, I think they look like poo. The detail is lacking and the maps are barely discernible. They look like way over head shots of high detail with some crazy ugly bevel filter. Just my opinion though.

I agree that the maps could be in a better quality.... they should change the format. I like the style (the overhead view) i think it looks 'cool'. If they changed the image format and made the images more 'crisp' and more clear then they would be almost perfect.

lol, you're a quick one. Maybe you didn't pick up on the idea that Jagex have all the info they need at their fingure tips (they created the game, last time I checked at least).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously a fan site has to test, check, and double check. So thats a pretty dumb statement on your part.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex don't even know where their Black Dragons and Bloodvelds are. :roll:

Unless you happen to think Jagex's game code magically reassembeld itself into a knowledge base, it had to be laboriously typed in, all 150k words. (There are probably fifteen words of code per word of text you see), so I'm betting that their batting average is still higher, considering the massive undertaking that is is.

Lots of stuff to read there. For example, I finally got my answer to this age old question:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am I less likely to be caught thieving if I wear special equipment and stand behind my victim?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, it's random, and is only affected by your thieving level. The only exception is in the HAM area, where you are less likely to be caught thieving if you dress as a cultist.

This does look like a great database. But there are simply too many stupid people out there for it to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They will not read it, they will not go to it when they have a question. They will still bug the people in game relentlessly. Nice try Jagex but I don't think it will do too much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can we have a real update now?

Maybe you're just not comprehending what I'm saying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never once did I suggest their KB assembled itself. What I DID say is all the information is there at their fingure tips. All they need to do is research their own product.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quit making stupid excuses for them.

Well put. That and its too little too late. We already have well established "knowledge bases".
