Clown Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I remember some time ago we could say things on tutorial island. Now we can't. The reason for that being..?! Think about it. It makes all the sense in the world to let newcomers communicate when the first enter the game. Sure, they can learn to talk on the mainland, but until then, the chat box is spamed with random garbage as newcomers try out the system and see what happends. New Person: sghjaghsdfjghasd You: What are you doing? New Person: 343434343376464'';l You: Stop spamming! New Person: Oh, ok, you can just type stuff just like that New Person: And then you hit enter You: Don't you already know this stuff? New Person: ...No, because Jagex made it so newcomers like myself couldn't talk on the island. That's the reason why you see the chat box being filled with random text, because I haven't learned to chat the way I should on tutorial. I've been a social outcast until this point, and I've never had the chance to communicate with the other newcomers while I was on the island. You: Ah... My arguments are these three simple points: One People can learn the chat mechanics early, in the tollerent presence of other similar-minded newcomers. Two If someone simply can't understand what the NPC's on the island are saying, then a fellow scaper can help them work it out.

RPGoof Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I remember being able to talk on tut island, but you could only see yourself talk and no one else. You can, though, private message, but you still cannot recieve messages. (40 crafting, 40 range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurinEthir Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 You can speak you just can't see what your typing Thats not true. It's kind of true. You can type stuff. You can hit enter. The words will appear above you. But no one else can see it. Therefore, you can spam your head off and no one will know. This wouldn't have a downside, except possibly mass spamming on tutorial island, which could be prevented by teaching newcomers about the rules earlier. I support.

elmo_killer6 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I think one of the reasons they dont have talking on tutorial island is then you could ask for help. I think they want it to be more of an independant thing so you can learn the basics on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 It could be after the core things had been done. It wouldn't necessarily have to be active right when you first start the island. Maybe halfway through or so, there could be a speech adviser. On another point: I created a new account, and I tried talking throughout the island. I couldn't. I'll believe that it's possible to talk there if I get a screen. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. V. Devnull Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 But a newcomer using the term 'social outcast' is unrealistic. Do you have a better phrase we could use then?

Pyrex Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I never did a tutorial island when I started playing, because there was none, so no real experience on that. But it might help a little bit, so I'll support this one. : RetiredEx-E174Ex-Venqeance[Ex-Tha Familia3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalcyte Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 You can't abuse report on tutorial island, thus you get unbannable people who are: website spammers + People who tell others to do the wrong thing. I don't see your example happening ever actually :-s Click for mah Blog!- I'm not sure why you would though because i never update it Achieved 99 Thieving 3/10/07-992nd to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
