> C'mon guys... Keep this alive... > Ancient Legion is the best clan i've ever been on, and I think more people should enjoy being an AL member too.

> Currently, Runescape's advertising has been: 1. Listed on Miniclip's game list, but no active advertising by Miniclip, nor Jagex. 2. Listed on AG's game list, but no active advertising by AG, nor Jagex. 3. A German TV ad, that I believe was only an experience Jagex was making, to advertise the german version. 4. Player-to-friend advertising (the one they most rely upon). 5. Twitter & Youtube accounts. 6. I remember seeing a YT video where Jagex had a stand on a games convetion just to talk about Runescape and the upcoming futuristic MMORPG (which changed name thrice already) > That is not what I'd call "active advertising". I'm yet to see a Runescape banner on google.ads :)

> The ">"'s are a personal feature of my posts. They're there, otherwise it's not my post. ^_^ > Of course, DirectX might be single plataform, but then they'll have it available separately and with the requirement: "Requires Windows XP or higher. Then we'd have a SD version, a HD version and a DX version, which we could choose from. No worries about that. > Also, they are Java experts. If someone can come up with a DirectX/3D system for Java Engine, they are the ones that are gonna do it.

> Runescape is not mass-advertised. The only place I know it's advertised is Miniclip (and they don't actively advertise it. It's just there, somewhere on their game list). > As for DirectX implementation, it might even be that JaGeX doesn't fulfill the promise and forgets about it, but until they say so, we are to suppose they are working on it. > Although JaGeX did killed a few projects they wanted to work on, they kept on going with many others, like free/member bank spaces. > As bored said, Game Content and Game Engine are two different things. The game content is (usually) updated twice a month or maybe thrice. The Game Engine is updated once a year, which shows they are completely independent (they even have different teams working on them). > We are not (should not) compare Runescape to WoW, EVE, SWG or EQ by comparing individual components. Each game is bound to hold the top place on a specific component. No way we could compare RS's graphics and movement control to EVE's, and no way we could compare EQ's storylines to RS's ones. But on overall, RS reaching the other MMORPG's.

> It might be because Runescape trusts its advertising to the current players. > You may remember when JaGeX advertised Runescape on Miniclip... The horror.... > Since JaGeX might be a little more resilient on advertising on other websites, they do it on different ways: > They get Guiness Records, they bust people for stealing accounts, thus rendering international indirect adverstising (as well the player-to-friend ads too). > JaGeX is a small company and it can't maintain a gigantic game. Yet. JaGeX is growing and, step by step, it'll become a MMORPG giant. > Mark my words, about a year after RS goes DirectX, JaGeX will advertise Runescape back again (hopefully, not on Miniclip :D)

> If JaGeX keeps their promise of bringing a new graphical engine, and keep bringing new content, they'll attract more and more players. Currently, what most brings RS down, compared to other MMORPG's is indeed the graphic engine, which is restricted by the browsers and java engines. But when JaGeX starts developing content to be used with DirectX, (and maybe have a bigger "Recommended Settings" at their website), Runescape, and JaGeX's other creations will get the attention of more and more players. This is what happened when RS1 went to RS2, and when RS2 when HD. On both occasions there were booms of new players and new contents, which we might expect when RS goes DirectX. > About the ">"'s, it's just something I like to use to "personalize" my posts :)

> This is a somewhat random post to talk about Runescape and its creator, Jagex. > It has come to my attention that Runescape and Jagex are growing so fast that they have reached a stage they can, even with its lower graphics (for now - let's wait for the next generation of RuneTek), compete, head to head, against other major MMORPG's, like the infamous WoW, Everquest, EVE, SWG, and some others. > First: Both WoW and RS have an extensive amount of gameplay incrusted on the game. Many quests to do, and many activities to do both solo and group. But, WoW requires a mandatory subscription, it requires a somewhat powerful computer and graphics card, and it's a little harder to master (believe me. I've played WoW, and I got confused with the interface - and I wasn't using any interface mod). RS is simple, yet complex. You just need to click and it'll do what you need it to do. You don't have to use hotkeys, combokeys or layers and layers of information. > Runescape is also newbie friendly. When I played EVE or WoW, every initial quest (which mostly involved courier jobs) ended with "For more information, access WoW's/EVE's website". RS summarizes everything you need to know to play the game withing the game itself. > Now, here's an arguable feature. Take a base unit of space on all games. On RS, let's call it a god dungeon. On WoW, let's call it a raiding spot, and on EVE, let's call it a star system. How many players actively interacting with each other you got on those places? On RS I'd guess 7 or 8, if a group is raiding the dungeon. On WoW, about the same, less if a lower levelled raid, and on EVE, you'd be surprised to see more than 8 people gathering around toghether if not for a war. Now, why is it arguable, you ask? Simply because of the space each game offers. Since RS offers less geographical space, it'd be obvious the "player density" would increase. > Now, about the companies: > JaGeX is now reaching the initial stages of becoming a full-grown company, like Blizzard, LucasArts or Sony (the MMORPG section only of those, of course). First, because JaGeX offers much more player support and player-company interaction than those do. JaGeX is much more transparent than the others and apart from actually entering the company's bulding and accessing their systems, you can see pretty much what happens in there. They release periodic blogs on what's going on behind the scenes, and they give feedback on players opinions, even if there are only a handful of players claiming it (handful as in 50~100 plus). > Not enough, JaGeX has been considered one of the best companies to work on England (related to gaming and computer techonolgy). Happy employees work better, resulting on what you see at www.runescape.com. According to what you could see when the machinima contest winners visited JaGeX's HQ, the environement there is light. They can have breaks to actually play the game they work on, or any other game as well. > JaGeX also cares for their stuff too. You probably have heard the news about the britishman arrested for stealing Runescape accounts, right? That shows JaGeX is not interested exclusively on money, but on providing a safe and secure environment for us to enjoy and play. > Now, you ask: "OK. What do I have to do with this?" > I promptly reply that: What I'm saying is that Runescape and JaGeX are indeed growing and they look they'll become one of the biggest names on the MMORPG community, and we should be proud to be part of it. So, Runescape players, FunOrb players, Jagex employees and everyone related, you should feel proud to be part of something that big. In a few years, JaGeX might become a huge company (might not, if they decide to keep a low profile too), and maybe, on those Game Con(vention)s around the world, JaGeX might be there, with a stand, with actors wearing barrow armours, while advertising new content with 3D CGI-made movies for fans that came from another country to see it. Who knows?

Forums | Runehead What is Ancient Legion? Ancient Legion was founded on April 15th, 2008 by two brothers. Since then, AL has been an always growing community, with an average of 5~10 new members per month. We have been establishing alliances with major clans on Runescape clanning community as we climb the ranks. AL has as some of their main purpose being a friendly community, as well becoming notable among other clans. Why should you join AL? We could write a whole paragraph on how we focus on warring/skilling or being a friendly community. But that's what all other clans are... All their intro paragraphs say so... But we are different... Don't misread it though: We are indeed a friendly community, but what makes AL unique? Our rules are enforced by various means, whether it be on the Clan Chat or the Forums. Many clans crumble for lack of rule enforcement. We don't. We are very active indeed. Some clans schedule their 1~2 events/week, or 1~2 wars/month. We don't. We schedule form 3~4 events/week (not counting short-notice events) and a constant of 1 warring (or war practice) per week. You won't find a friendly community with that rate of warring, and by joining Ancient Legion, you won't have to decide between activity and community. Although most of our events are F2P, we do schedule P2P events, and even a newbie trial member can schedule and request a headline for their own event, whether it be a mini-game or a made up game.
