31/08/06 - Knowledge Base update - Area Guides


Suiku

Recommended Posts

Reldo and a few dozen other educated types have been slaving for months to find out all they can about every town, city, dungeon and major island in RuneScape, and now they're ready to show you the results of their labours. During this time even Evil Bob stopped bothering them, because - no matter how evil he is - Evil Bob knew how utterly amazing their project would be. Yes, the Area Guides have arrived in the Knowledge Base, and both Bob and Evil Bob are most pleased!

 

 

 

For now, we have the free areas covered, so there are guides to:

 

 

 

* Al Kharid

 

* Asgarnian Ice Dungeon (the Blurite Mine)

 

* Barbarian Village

 

* Crandor

 

* Crandor and Karamja Dungeon

 

* Draynor Village and Manor

 

* Edgeville

 

* Edgeville Dungeon

 

* Falador

 

* Lava Maze

 

* Lumbridge

 

* Lumbridge Swamp

 

* Port Sarim

 

* Rimmington

 

* Varrock

 

* Varrock Sewers

 

 

 

Each area guide includes: a little history and culture, maps of the area, a detailed run-down of all the interesting features and sights, the local personalities, the quests that can be started there, the beasties and guards you can fight, and much more.

 

 

 

The Knowledge Base is a very useful tool for new and experienced players alike, and is always being updated. Why not take a look and see for yourself?

 

 

 

Coming Soon to the Area Guides:

 

 

 

* The frozen lands of the Fremennik

 

* Tree Gnome Stronghold

 

* Keldagrim

 

 

 

Happy adventuring!

yeah i think jagex is trying to be a fansite killer now...i can see a item db coming soon i guess, bestiary. But will never replace this community. And there are things they wont go into...like quest guides and that.

Well, not a great update - but it seems Jagex is trying to kill the need for Fansites even more. Wonder what they have planned next?

 

 

 

They're NOT trying to kill fansites!

 

 

 

Honestly people! Why is it that Jagex is making the Kbase? Because they want to stop people from scamming other players by going to PHONY websites! Jagex loves people having communities and groups about Runescape they just want to make sure people are not directed to fake or scam websites.

 

 

 

If more of these gullible people look at the Kbase instead of saying "How I mine 4 phish?" and receive an answer of "Go to Scam SiteXYZ and type in your RS Username and Password and it'll give you all the secrets of the game" nice and good people can say "Go look at the Kbase" instead of risking the chance of being banned by saying "tip.it" and by telling them of the Kbase you're still helping them out and teaching them a valuable tool in RS.

 

 

 

If people are looking for a RS community or fansite they'll look for a fansite on Google or their preferred search engine. If they're looking for quick and impersonal information they can go to the Kbase. Tip.it is still standing strong after years and years of being the best fansite. I think they can handle a data competition with Jagex.

I agree with Tefda. The Knowledge Base is just that - a collection of information where people can find answers to their Runescape questions. And while that may superficially be the same thing as Tip.It, the fact is that Tip.It is far more than the sum of its parts because of the community that it has given rise to. I dont think we'll be seeing any "Knowledge Base Events" happening any time soon, do you?

Why is 'common sense' so named, when there is so little of it about?

Welcome to puberty, we've been expecting you.

There was some really nice information for new players with this, and details on things they can do or collect. There was also some nice single pictures of demons and the KBD. And some of the people NPC's also looked weird up close.

it would be interesting if they add weather, say it rains and you try to light a fire

 

 

 

You cannot light a fire here, it is too wet, wait until the rain has stopped.

or better yet, "you do not have a high enought FM lvl to light theese logs in the rain"

 

 

 

Heres the picture of draynor market with the unknown stall.
