Getting To Know Tip.It! Archives and Sent In

This is my main post. Click to Read Highlighted Interviews!

 

No longer a blog but love the pic :D

 

 

 

Welcome to Getting to know your fellow Tipers Better!!

 

I started this post as a blog but now I want to share my great expirences with the community. So this is no longer a blog, but a way to learn more in depth about many of your fellow Tip.iters. :thumbsup:

 

Another great way to introduce your self is on this sticky Introduce Yourself to Tip.It!!! This is for a much more in depth of some of the long time fellow Tip.iters.

 

 

 

Hello my name is N_odie. I have met many people on my journey to 99 cooking and have loved the experiences that I have been privileged to be part of. I have met many interesting people and want to learn more!

 

 

 

I want to introduce many to the Tip.It community more so!

 

 

 

 

 

Who are you, as I looked through the blogs, I realized I only know a few of the people here on Tip.It. I have met and talked to many people such as Oreo, many of the Ooc members and leaders but I havenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t met many others. Thus the purpose of this blog. My goal is to meet in game many of the people we all know and love. This will be fun for me and the whole Tip.It community. So to start out this blog I want help from YOU. I have a series of interview questions but I want to know what the tip.it community wants to know. We have seen interviews by Tip.It with Zezima and propose to do something similar with, well, you quite possibly!

 

 

 

Some of the basic questions will include (they are basic and are from some of Tip. ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s interviews):

 

 

 

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

 

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

 

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

 

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

 

What is your proudest accomplishment?

 

ECT?

 

 

 

What can you do? Give questions!

 

 

 

Now, please put the modesty aside and if you have had a successful guide or have a request for me to interview some here on Tip.It, please pm me or leave a post here.

 

Due to the limits of my inbox here on Tip.It, I made an email that I use specifically for subjects related to Tip.It. If comfortable, please send the Interviews to [email protected]. This allows me to archive the interviews incase something unexpected happens (Your email address will remain confidential unless asked differently and I understand If you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want me to know it. If that is the case pm me. If I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t respond please try 3-4 days later because I could have missed it). A pm or email will probably be better so I could surprise the community with the announcements of who I am going to Interview.

 

 

 

 

 

An interesting thought that I have thought about was pointed out:

 

That's not an interview. Its a character-less questionnaire. If you want to interview people and claim you did so, I would at least recommend talking to them. That way, you can ask questions based on their responses and really get to find more about them.

 

This looks more like a public questionnaire than interviews to me you know.

 

 

 

That is true but due to my time constraints and getting the interviews posted in a timely matter I have not had the chance to do this, though I have met some fellow Tippers in game. I could do it but it would be hard to schedule. If an interviewie :P would like to have a "face to face" interview pm me and say so. Though it will take a little longer to get it through. Thanks for bringing that out. :-k Who knows I may get some friends to go interview people for me :D

 

 

 

[hide=SENDING IN AN INTERVIEW!]

 

 

 

One thing that would be very helpful is if you send in the interview in code and have all the questions in

[b]BOLD[/b]

and answers in reg font. Thank you!

 

 

 

If you would like to be part of my blog please send a filled out form to [email protected] due to the lack of room on tip.it =P

 

Here are the questions:(if you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want to answer on just don't lol. If you want to add more feel free to personalize it.

[hide=Paw Claw]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

Wow, that really was a long time ago. Well my brother stumbled across a game called Flea Circus and loved it so showed it to me. I personally got bored of it quickly but played for a few hours before I explored the site it was on further and came across Runescape, this was right after it first when public, so January 2001 (is that date right? I never remember). I got through a lot of f2p accounts,about 5 I think, never got on the highscores or achieved much and managed to dodge every last holiday drop.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Well for my current account it was the first outing of my online trademark name.It was originally invented by my school friends, we were playing a stupid game making nicknames out of animal parts that related to our personalities. They decided I came off at first like a cute kitten hence Paw, but later on I come off rather wild (yes that does have dirty connotations to it, but lets not go there) like a tiger hence Claw.So Paw Claw came into use for EVERYTHING online. So 12th November 2003 Paw Claw was created, but then I quite until 12th of April 2004, whihc is now my official rs birthday.

As for Tip.it I started using it sometime in 2004, but didn't join the forums until December that year due to my Dad's rules about forums etc, but since I got members in November 04 I thought why not!

Did you play any other MMO's and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I don't really play any other MMO's I find I can't get into them as Ijust end up thinking I miss runescape or how much better runescape is, but I do often take time out to play RPGs on consoles, or shooting/racing games with mates and lots of silly puzzles and platform games when I get a bit bored.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

I didn't really have any friends when starting the game initially, but I developed a broad friend base through being friendly and tip.it, plus summer 06 word got out at high school and a fair few school mates joined up. But yeah first few weeks I pretty much went alone, my first true rs friend was Paralyzer, he gave me a rune pick when I was mining and paid me to mine him mithril shortly before I got members.He still plays and we talk occasionally.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I think my proudest moment was catching up with the quests, despite being an absurdly low level, but then again I also felt very proud when I got 99 fishing. Sure I got 99 cooking first, but I had spent almsot an entire year fishing sharks and fishing was the first 99 I wanted, so very proud when that happened. But hell I'm proud everytime I do something nice or generous or beat a quest without dying once.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Oh favourites, I'd say Darkness of Hallowvale. Ijust lvoed the sneaking about and the great effect of that area. Whenever I get bored I go for a wander around that area. But having said that I also have a soft spot for MEP2 and Ghostly Robes. MEP2 because it is the one puzzle Jagex has made that I found challenging, 8 hours to solve it, but I'm glad my efforts help many others since my short time as tip.it crew meant I got to write the guide, hence making my name more well known and immortalising me as an rs player. Ghostly Robes because it made me feel a real connection the game, it was the early hours of a summer morning and someone stumbled upon the first ghost, I was among the ten on the forum solving the clues and finding the robes, being among the first and again writing a guide for it gave it a soft place in my heart again.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

A bit of both. When I'm focussed I hate distractions,but I often find it fun to go off with mates,especially my clan,to get xp for fun and being sociable.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Only 1 skill in the game that annoys me and that is mining. It just bores me, especially power mining.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

It varies greatly.I'd say about 3 on average most of the time.Though when I near 99 or am at a loose end it can reach 15

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goal directly is 99 hunter,but then I am doing 99 mining and smithing. This will lead onto 99 construction eventually. Yes I plan a long way ahead, but beyond my first 9 99s I do not know what I will do (number 9 is magic as a by product of alching smithing products)

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Not anymore, I'm too hooked and it really helps me un-wind and seems to help information settle in my head after doing homework or revision.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

It's helped me make friends and remain a good person. Coming on tip.its help & advice board can drive me insane sometimes, but it also makes me get a good feeling about helping people. This often helps me lose any pixel hugging tenancies I get, especially after a death or major lose.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

I found it on google when I was looking for where to get rune plate.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Outside runescape? As if, obviously I have good stats so I'm a no lifer, sorry bad sense of humour.

Well I'm currently at college most days studying for my A levels in English Literature, History and Art, after this I plan to go on to art school and do a degree in fine art. Aside from that I love music and often write song lyrics for friends bands, as well as learning guitar to start a band with a close friend, I promised her I would. I also love writing and am working towards being a published author, should have the first of 5 novels finished in the next few weeks. I do a bit of modelling on the side for my friends clothes company and run my own clothes company, or will do once i re-launch at new years. Other than that I just live in the moment and for my friends, going to the cinema, cafes, beach, bowling, out for meals, house parties the usual stuff for a young adult to be doing; I get bored being inside for to long, so am quite active though I despise sports, but I am still quite fit thanks to living rurally so spend a lot of time walking, biking and running around, whether with mates or to seek out a perfect spot to photograph or draw.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

My biggest peice of advice?

Don't let others grind you down. Be true to yourself and don't lower yourself to the level of calling people no lifers etc for no real reason. Plus there's a big world out there with lots to do, don't be afraid to go and enjoy it. There are computers everywhere so u can get on rs anyway.

[hide=Codguy]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it? Back in the beginning of the summer of 2004, my friends that live across the street from me convinced me to at least try Runescape, after badgering me about it for a year or so. I decided to play it and I loved it, have since. Within about 2 or 3 weeks I was already better/stronger than both of my friends who played, since they only played a couple times a month, while I played everyday practically. My friends eventually quit but I didn't mind, I kept playing.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It? When I was playing this other game before hand, Utopia, I had to use a Username and I absolutely clueless... So I naturally typed in the first thing that came to my mind. Cod; the fish of course. I knew it couldn't be just Cod, so I added in guy afterwards, to make it look better. And that's been my online nickname ever since. Sometimes online I go by Tofu (real life nick name) or my real name, but usually it's just Codguy. I started using Tip.it back on... *Checks date on forums* October 8th, 2004. So I joined the forums 4 months after I started playing, and I started using the site for guides about a month before I joined the forums I believe. I love this place and I don't post much, but I read so much of the forums, I 'm on them everyday.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy? I used to play Utopia and Earth:2025, which aren't games like Runescape, but games where you build a kingdom, and you don't get to see anything, it's all words. You can have wars, be friends and allies with other kingdoms, and things like that. It was really fun, I ended up meeting a lot of great people there. I was playing that for a good... 2 and a half years or so. Then moved on to Runescape, and then shortly afterwards started playing a game called Gunz, which is a 3rd person shooter. It's really awesome. I also play Call of Duty, and my name has nothing to do with the game if you're wondering!

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?I didn't have many friends help me really, but more of just be there with me to keep me enthusiastic about the game. I had my friends that lived across the street that gave me a bit of advice, and kept me playing. I also had some in game friends that started a "clan" with me, I say "clan" because it really never was a clan, and we became friends and created forums as well! I received a few items from one of my "clan" friends but that was like... Steel and what not, not even a full set of armor. So I wasn't really given handouts or anything, just support :)

What is your proudest accomplishment? I have three or so accomplishments that I have, the first would naturally be my first two (and only ones so far) 99 stats, Attack and Cooking. Also achieving my Fire Cape from the Fight Caves on my first attempt. And my last would have to be getting a Dragon Chain drop from Dust Devils earlier this week, that sure gave me a heart attack lol.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game? Well... I liked Recipe for Disaster, mainly because it was a bit of a challenge, even if I did do it within a couple of hours. I also enjoyed the fights in Desert Treasure. However... I actually enjoyed One Small Favor, not because of how tedious it was, but I just enjoyed how it went. I got annoyed by the end, but I actually enjoyed it. I hate quests, but there's a few I like.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?I prefer to be by myself while skilling or training, however I love it to be in an active chat room or talking with friends through PMs. There are some skills that are nice to have friends around; such as fishing, cooking, woodcutting... Afk skills. And a few skills like training. I still would prefer to be by myself the majority of the time. However... If I were to be racing with a friend to a specific level, or some goal, I would love to actually be with the person, rather than be away from them. It feels better to have them around, that way I can call them a noob and say I'm better... And what not.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?My favorite skill would have to be either melee combat (Attack, Strength, Defence), but also Thieving using Pyramid Plunder. I've always been a combat kind of guy, and Thieving using Pyramid Plunder is just really nice... Because it's varied more. My least favorite skill would have to be Firemaking. I barely can stand it, I've been able to burn at most 500 logs at a time, and right now I have 99 banked, but have yet to burn any of those logs yet.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?Sadly... I would have to say anywhere from 3-7 hours a day. Maybe 5 at most on weekdays, and anywhere up to 7 on weekends. It depends on my homework load, and how I'm feeling. If I'm home sick, I can play up to 10 hours, but rarely can I get away with it from my parents. On average I would say 3 or 4 hours. It maybe a lot, but I like the game, and I'm not addicted either.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others? My current goal is to get 99 in Thieving and max out my combat skills (all but prayer right now), melee being first of them all. Also I would like to get 85 Slayer (Slayer being my combat training method after getting 96 Strength and Defence (camping at Dust Devils right now)). So max out combat and 99 Thieving would be my current goals!

Do you ever think of quitting the game?I will eventually, probably when I go to college or sometime around there, I will play as long as I can, I like the game a lot, but it'll happen eventually.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How? Oh of course, it's something to do while doing boring skills or afk skills, just reading the forums over and over again :) I also love having a blog on Tip.it Forums, it's nice to get encouragement.

How did you come across the Tip.It website? I found it while looking up Runescape fansites and guides, to help me when I was a low level :)

What do you like to do outside of the game? Outside? You mean with the sun, trees, and... the grass?! Wow... Haha, I do lots outside, even if I spent lots of time on Runescape. I get good grades at school, taking some tough courses right now, including Pre-Calculus, Physics, AP English, AP Biology, and AP U.S. History. I'm in 2 choirs at my school, one of which has 60+ performances a year, it's really awesome. I'm a Junior in High School, by the way. I'm on the Bowling team at my school, and I would say we (and I) are pretty good, we made it to state last year and got 5th, I think we'll do better this year though. And the thing I love the most outside of my house would have to be working at the Oregon Zoo; I volunteer there. It's a great volunteering job and it's gotten me to want to be a Veterinarian, or at least something that works with animals in my future. I love working with animals so much, and I can't wait to go into a Pre-Veterinarian program in college. I'm really looking forward to it all. I do lots more including hang out with friends and such, but that's all I have the patience to type about for now.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters? Friends. Friends are what gets me through everyday of playing. If I weren't to have someone to talk to, or a chatroom to talk in, I would definitely die. Ok kidding, but I would have quit by now if I didn't have friends to talk to, and to be encouraged by. If I weren't pushed and challenged by my friends, I would have quit the first couple of weeks. Oh and the other piece of advice is give me free money, karma will get you back... Eventually... :D

My favorite skill is Slayer, I am not sure why. I enjoy combat, and it has a nice change of pace every so often. My least favorite skill is farming, because I always end up sitting there waiting for it to finish growing.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

2-5

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

99 Slayer. Slayer :P

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Sometimes. I have quit three times in the past, but I always come crawling back.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

It is very useful with doing Clues and Quests.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Don't remember.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Write fictional novels and play any console RPGs.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Set a goal. It will make skilling manageable and keep you playing RS. Also, don't do something that you hate just to obtain bragging rights. Getting 99 smithing is not worth the time and effort if you abhor smithing. Basically, it's a game and you should do what you enjoy. That's why my combat skills are maxed and many of my other skills are quite low. I enjoy combat and dislike most other skills.

[hide=Lalala7324]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I first created an account (H3adhunt3r, h3ad hunt3r, something like that) in August or September of 2003, when a guy from battlefield1942 told me about this really cool game. Truthfully, I played for 20 minutes maybe and quit. I HATED it! About a year later, I was really bored and decided to give it another go. RS2 had been released, and it was a lot of fun.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

I started Lalala7324 in August 2004. I had just watched Chris Farley's Tommyboy, where he says "Lalalalala luuuuuke, I am your father" into the fan. For some reason, it was stuck in my head, and my name was made.

Did you play any other MMO's and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I play battlefield 1942 a little still.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Not many, I met bobissogreat pretty early on, and he helped me out some.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Buying a santa hat in April 2007

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Monkey madness

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I prefer to be with friends, but every now and then I will go loner and turn chat off.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Farming, because you cant power-train or no-life it.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

1-2 on weekdays if I find time, 5-6 on weekends

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

88 runecrafting (eventually 91)

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I quit for a few months in the summer, but I really missed it.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

It's really kept me busy in the game and given me lots of people to talk to.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Don't remember

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Tennis, band (trumpet!), and I have a beautiful girlfriend

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Never do something selfish just for personal fame. Looking "cool" to others really isnt as "cool" as you may think. I am not saying it's bad to make yourself better, but don't let your personal motivations drive you to cast away others, because if you think about it, what really makes runescape great is the community of people supporting everyone else.

[hide=Alansson]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it? In September '05, my friend introduced me to it.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It? Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy? Well, my father's name is Alan, and I really didn't want a name with numbers in it, so I picked Alansson. I started to use tip.it rather soon, I think around December of '05, but I didn't discover the forums until around March of '06, and I didn't actually use the forums until around June '06.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game? Yes, my friend who introduced me to the game (he was level 30) helped me a bunch. But he is quite a slow leveler (he's like level 60 now, 2 years later) and I passed him rather quickly

What is your proudest accomplishment? Either getting my quest cape, or getting 84 crafting.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game? Mournings End Part II, I really enjoyed it, it wasn't easy peasy like most are. I liked Recipe for Disaster a lot also.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling? What is your least/favorite skill? Why? I skill and train by myself usually, but I hang out and PM friends almost all the time I'm on.

On average, how many hours a day do you play? I used to play a lot, but since school has started around 2-3 hours (max 4) on weekdays, and a lot more (6+) on weekends.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others? One of my goals is 1800 total, and instead of skilling like crazy like I did to get to 1700, I'm taking it slow, and doing slayer, since I like that.

Do you ever think of quitting the game? I did quit to play another RPG from December '05 - April '05, when I met a girl at my school who played and was very good (level 90+), and she helped me a lot. She quit recently though.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How? Yes, without the community I wouldn't have lasted this long, and without the guides I wouldn't have stayed at all in the beginning.

How did you come across the Tip.It website? My friend told me about it, and he said how RHQ was so much better. I disagreed, and now I only use tip.it

What do you like to do outside of the game? I play baseball, I'm on the debate team, I enjoy school, and I also enjoy videogames

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters? Don't give up on your goals and quit, but if something gets boring, by all means try to find something else that you like. Play for fun, not for levels. They come when you're having fun.

[/hide]

[hide=Master_Smither]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

Well I started my first account runescapewil in 2002 because my 6th grade teacher was playing it 1 day.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Since I wanted to keep an rsc account I just made a variation and added my basebnall jersey number.

Nope this was my first and most likely only.

No :cry: But I did get a few friends addicted after I was higher leveled.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

The day I got 99 Smithing

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Most likely Desert Treasure because I had done it with my friend and it was the first hard quest i had experienced. So it was a VERY funny with our messups :oops:

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

Well since I'm currently mining I'm alone because I want to get as many ores per hour as possible.

But when I smith I usually have a friend there chatting it up with me.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Smithing is my favorite, it has always been enjoyable very easy to chat and a very good crowd of people.

My least Favorite is hunt it is sooo Boring.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

6 hours usually

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like

working on more than others?

My current goal is 85 Mining(83/85) just to match my 99 Smithing and make MY own rune for FREE.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

NO NEVER :!: :!: :!:

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Yes very much so because it helped me get through those boring skills and the friends i gained offered MASSIVE support for ALL my goals.

[hide=LegionCE]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

If I remember correctly it was the May right after the bunny ear drop so May 2003 (though it could be earlier as I remember the talk about what the easter drop would be.) Found out that it was there through my good friend Greg.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

It was an old username that I used to use My tip.it name is from another set of usernames I started for myself, God knows when I found out tip.it existed haha.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy? Lets see, WoW US, KalOnline, Various KalOnline private servers most notably: Asgard, Hoax (offline), Core, Xiu, PAnimal's, Silkroad Online. I enjoy MMO's and other platform games.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Only my friend Greg and I outleveled him within the week I started, been the highest out of my RL friends since I can remember.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Hard to say, Haven't achieved anything like a 99 skill or what not but actually meeting my friends in RS have been a great accomplishment.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Anything Involving good cut scenes so far RFD has been rather great.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I usually skill alone or with a few good mates other than that I tend not to talk to alot of people.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Favorite Fletching even though its a pain to train, Least Favorite smithing because its costly.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

Now a days rarely even if I play, 1-2 hours a day.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

No real current goal other than some 99 skill, most likely fletching since im almost there haha.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I've quit a few times but I keep comin back haha.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Generally the guides since without them I wouldn't know alot of the stuff I do now.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Google if my memory serves me right.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Been in a rather bad slump emotionally, trying to get my life back in order is my main concern right now.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Have fun don't let the small things get to ya ;).[/hide]

[hide=Harrington]

Great thread btw... :)

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I began playing sometime in 2001. I was going through a phase where I was playing a lot of online browser based games such as Imperial Conflict and Planetarian. I used MPORG to find other games and came across RS.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Players often mistake my character name to be my real surname. It is in fact based on a character from my favourite series of novels written by David Weber. The lead character was called Honor Harrington, and I based my name on her.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I enjoy sci-fi and as such was playing a number of games with this theme. Namely Imperial Conflict, Planetarium and a number of other games whose names I have since forgotten.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Nope, I didn't know anyone and I was playing for about a year before I bothered looking at fan sites.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I remember when I first started and saw players at incredibly high levels. After about a year, I was begining to notice a few lvl 126 players. I figured, I couldn't ever possibly achieve this. Thus, eventually reaching lvl 126 is my proudest achievement in the game.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

I enjoyed Recipe for Disaster the most. It was really long and was well structured. The rewards were fantastic as well.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

A bit of both really. I'm in a casual clan, and about 2-3 times a month I'll participate in a clan event, be it Castle Wars of Dagannoth Hunting. I spend the vast majority of time playing solo and rarely involve myself in converstations since I multi-task 90% of the time.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Favourite is Slaying. The skill has great variety and kudos for achieving a high level. Most skills are too repetitive and so Slaying with its variety of tasks and random rewards is very appealing to me.

Least favourite is Hunting. It's not an awful skill in itself, but I find the best areas are simply too busy and I find that very frustrating. Beside, the rewards are simply not worthwhile.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

I recon I average about 2-3 hours per day, but it varies. For instance, I don't play on a Friday at all and rarely on a Saturday since I've got lots of stuff to do IRL, but on a Monday, my typical day off work, I can spend up to ten hours playing that day.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

I've spent about 90% of my gaming time during the last six months workign on Slaying. I'm now lvl 96 and have decided to go for level 99. It will likely take me two more months, but I'm going to stick at it anyway.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Sometimes. I don't think I'll ever completely quit whilst the game remains popluar, but I will likely take lengthy breaks. I have take two such long term breaks in six years, once for 18 months, and another for about 6 months.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

TipIt is one of the things that's helped me stick the game for so long. It's such a great resource and often a great community. The guides here have shaped my gameplay and I continue to use them even though I'm very experienced now.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

I can't remember now since it was about five years ago. I suspect someone mentioned it to me in the game, even though it's against the rules lol.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

My passions are science-fiction, reading, archery and movies. I go the cinema at least once per week, and I read 2-3 novels per month. I probably spend most of my time working though lol, about 45 hours per week.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

For enjoyable gaming...

* Join a clan or community. It helps to have people you can trust so you can perform some of the more dangerous tasks in the game, as well as having people to make stuff for you when needed.

* Multi-tasking is the key to many skills. Ensure you've got a TV and DVD player close to your PC. Also have more than one window open so you can browse other sites. Many of the tasks in RS are uber boring and it's vital you have something to keep you sane lol.

* Mini goals. Some goals just seem unattainable i.e. 90+ in most skills. As such, you need to set mini goals. For instance, instead of aiming for lvl 97 from 96, first aim for 10m experience, take a break, then push for lvl 97.

[hide=Oreocookie987 =D]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I began playing Runescape in on February 26, 2005. I wrote down the date for some reason, don't remember why, but its pretty handy to have now. I found Runescape through Miniclip, and began to use the main website after one month of playing, when I was around level 30.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Oreo is a nickname a friend of mine gave me in 4th grade. He is a good friend that I still talk to and have classes with to this day, and ever since then I've used Oreo as my name on many sites. The numbers 9870 are numbers I used in account names before, so I just decided to add them into my Runescape name, and here ya go.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

Before Runescape I used to play Red Alert 2 a lot, and achieved national Top 100 before leaving the game. I also like to play Battlefield 2 on the computer sometimes, and enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City on my PS2 and Super Smash Bros. Melee on my brother's Nintendo Gamecube.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

No, I started off all by myself. Just as in real life, I try my hardest to rely on myself for help and not get assistance from others unless I really need it.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Definitely, hands down, 85 Mining. Many people thing my proudes is 99 Firemaking, but it isn't. 85 Mining is a heck of a lot harder to get than 99 Firemaking, and I simply enjoy having it more.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

I don't do Quests very often unless I need the reward or it will benefit me, I only have 147 Quest Points. Of the ones I have done though, I particularly enjoyed Monkey Madness.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

When I'm skilling it varies. Sometimes I like to be alone, but I'll always welcome the company of a friend to talk to. When I want to hang out with friends, theres always a bunch at World 99 Edgeville.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

My Favorite skills are Mining and Firemaking. Mining was pretty much all I did as an F2P player, and I got 1-80 Mining purely in F2P. I just enjoy Firemaking and its a fun skill to do (for me anyways).

My least favorite skills are also a two way tie. Herblore and Fletching. Herblore is way too expensive, and I just don't enjoy it. Fletching is just purely, flat out, too repetetive, and I haven't liked it from the start.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

I usually only play for an hour or so from Monday-Thursday due to schoolwork. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I'll play anywhere from 2-8 hours a day.

What are your current goals?

99 Fishing.

DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

I work on whichever skill is my goal at the time, currently being Fishing.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Not yet, and I don't plan to anytime soon.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Definitely. My entire friends list is now Tip.iters, and as such I've found many great friends and an awesome community to support me on my goals.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

I searched Google for a quest guide to solve the puzzle in Ernest the Chicken, and Tip.it was first on the list.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Hangout with my friends, work on cars, play GTA Vice City and listen to music.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Theres life beyond Runescape, don't forget about it.

Thanks for the interview!!!

[hide=Wakka102 Interview!!!]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

Well I don't remember exactly when I first started playing. I played about half a year before RS2 was released. It was back in 7th grade (currently in the summer before 11th) and a friend who had been playing the game for about a year on and off told me about it. Me and about 10 of my friends signed up and started playing but I became angry because my friend got to level 4 and I thought I had killed as many goblins as him so I decided the game was stupid. I then logged back in about a week later and thats when I truly got hooked. I went from level 3 to about 25 in one weekend and have been playing ever since. All of my friends have quit (most play WOW now) but I stuck to this game. Occasionally they make fun of me for but who really cares =P .

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

My name came from Final Fantasy X. There was a character named Wakka that I really enjoyed and used the name in pretty much everything that I did. So I, of course, used it here as well. the 102 was just always there, I'm not sure why I made it wakka102 but I always have done that.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I'm not a huge gamer outside of Runescape. I use to play my PS2 a good bit, especially with the Metal Gear Solid series. Those are probably my all time favorite games. This is my first major MMO that I've played and have tried out WOW, Star Wars Galaxies, and Guild Wars but none of them I like as much as Runescape.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

My friend who had been playing Runescape for a year made me full bronze when I first started, other then that I did everything on my own.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

99 Slayer

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

The only quest I ever actually payed any attention to while doing was Recipe for Disaster, it had LOTS of Jagex humor in it which I enjoyed =o

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

It depends on the skill. Oftentimes I skill alone but will always talk to people through PM's. But when I'm not skilling I usually drop in to W99 Edgeville =) .

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Hunter, It's the only skill so far that I couldn't stomach getting all the way to 99 at once. I just do not like catching Chinchompas. It's too much clicking and moving around for me. Hopefully with the new update for it this month I'll like it more =D .

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

Thats an impossible question for me. Theres many days that I don't log in at all and there was one time last summer that I played for 48 hours (given bathroom breaks and meal breaks). My schedule varies a lot and it changes constantly. As I always say, I get on when I can.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goal is to obtain all 99's. I fully believe that it is within my reach. My favorite skill would have to be Slayer, I recently obtained 99 in it so I wont be training it anymore =x .

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Nope.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

If it wasn't for Tip.it I probably would not be playing Runescape. 90% of my friends list is from Tip.it and I love the community over any other in this game. It is the best =D .

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

My friend told me it was the best fan site for Runescape help. I started out just using the guides, calculators, etc. It wasn't until later that I signed up to the forums.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I enjoy going places with my friends, biking, and music. I've very big into Heavy Metal.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

You can accomplish any goals that you want as long as you dedicate you're self to it.

Thanks a ton Wakka 102! You are a true Tip.Iter!

Nacfan

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

About 4 years ago I started, because a friend of me played a lot, and i saw it when I was at his house. So at a moment I said, lets make an account for me so we did, and now I p0wn him

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Nac is a soccer club from Holland, where I live. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m a huge fan of them, so thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s how I picked it. I started using tip it since I started playing, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s great to help to find out new stuff, but I started at forums when I was like combat 80.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

Nope, havenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t played any. I really like sport games, but no MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s from them, and i just stay with Runescape! =)

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Yeah, as I said at question 1, I started because of a friend. He helped me a lot to with finding out new stuff!

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I am very proud of my 99 strength, but also my 99 cooking (which i got in F2P!!), so 99 cook is pretty good, but 99 strength was fighting monsters, no pest control. CanÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t really choose between these two what IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m proudest on.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Well to be honest I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t like quests at all!! but if i have to choose, i pick: priest in peril. Thanks to that quest I can barrow which made me lots of money =D

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I really like combat skills, while i do combat its great to have a friend, but for non combat skills i prefer no friendÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s lol. when friends there, I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t focus on the skill I have to train.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

my least favorite, euhmm... I guess that is fletching. Its not boring at all, but I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t like it because so many people got it that high. I prefer getting my combat stats up so IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m a high combat.

My favorite is slayer, really like it. Can make lots of money with it, but also good exp for my combat skills.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

i play around 3 hours a day, however it is very different. Like on Thursday I have to work and I got school, so no time at all. On a normal day I can play for like 2-3 hours

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goals are: slayer 85, attack 99, defense 99 and hp 99 (all are long term goals though) all of them got a short term to, thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s like 80 slay-90 att-85 def

i like to work on hp, do this by training slayer. Really love that skill cape, and i hope it will be on my shoulders once =D

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I thought of quitting about 1 week ago, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m very busy with school, and donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t really have time to play next 2 months (exams, on a holiday to France for 3 weeks and I have to work a lot). But IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m also very bored lately in game, but i talked with some friends about it and now its getting better again, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m doing new stuff like Kalphite queen, also planning to go on a dk trip soon.

So I decided to become temporary f2p, I think thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s the best solution for next 2 months.

N_odie: I will be as well for the same reasons we should hang some time =D

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Yes it did, at forums I made lots of new friends, its nice to have a chat with them, and they motivate me to get to my goals

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I like to meet up with friends outside the game; however thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s getting pretty hard as I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have much time lately.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

My advice: if you really want something, you can do it! Believe in yourself, and get some friends to keep you motivated! However a 99 is a lot! so donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t think you can do it at level 40 or something, because you still got a long road to go! Just get some smaller goals first like: 40-70, 70-85, 85-95, 95-99

Nacfan

N_odie:Thanks a lot for the interview and look forward to seeing you on the site!

[hide=Tripsis]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it? Wow this is actually kind of a hard question =s My boyfriend introduced me to RuneScape in maybe.. 2003. But couldn't convince me to play until around 2004 lol =P

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It? I always enjoy having screen names that mean something. "Tripsis" is an obscure word for "the process of shampooing." And I began using Tip.it very early on, though I don't remember the exact date. As for the forums, I joined on October 29th, 2005.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy? Nope, just RuneScape for me. I've poked around a couple others but none have really caught my fancy.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game? Yep, my boyfriend Dork Punker. He was very generous <3

What is your proudest accomplishment? As of right now, I'd say 99 construction. That was a huge feat for me. But 99 herblore, which I should have in a couple weeks, might even surpass construction in my opinion!

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game? The only quest that I ever truly enjoyed was Underground Pass. I was very "slap-happy" at the time and on a bit of a sugar high, which might contribute to my liking for the game. Actually, I was also wearing Bubba Teeth while I played =-$

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling? I go through phases. If I'm actually trying to get something done (like if I've set a goal for myself for the day), then I prefer to be alone. Otherwise it's nice to have a friend (or Dork) around <3

What is your least/favorite skill? Why? Probably slayer. I hate combat in general, but I've always loathed slayer since the day it came out. I have an authority issue, and the say I see it, slayer is only training combat.. but furthermore, they're telling you what to train, so you can't even decide for yourself.

On average, how many hours a day do you play? Anywhere from a couple hours on school days to all day on the weekends/summer.

What are your current goals? Do you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others? My summer goals are (in order): 99 herblore, 99 prayer and 99 farming. I think I'll always have a soft spot for construction. Some day I may even regain my title as rank 14 (which I was a few months ago).

Do you ever think of quitting the game? I've taken a few breaks once in a while. One four month break and one six month break. Unless the economy goes under or the game is overrun by macroers, I don't think I'll quit for a while. Just take breaks here and there.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How? Well as I said earlier, I usually prefer to be alone while skilling. But the Tip.it Forums have given me a sense of involvement in the RuneScape community. It allows me to chat with fellow skillers on a daily basis. And then there are those incredible calculators on the helpsite that I could never live without!!

How did you come across the Tip.It website? Wow I actually remember this! I was standing in Falador, probably level 35 or something, when someone mentioned "Tip.it" and how it was so great. So I decided to check it out.. back then there were two buttons on "Tip.it," one for ArenaScape and one for RuneScape.

What do you like to do outside of the game? I'm a homebody, I'll admit to that. I usually spend a lot of time doing graphic art (digital painting on PhotoShop). In addition, I'm a huge movie watcher and Harry Potter fanatic! xD My friends and I have already planned to see the 5th movie at midnight (as we always do).

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters? In the words of aaron1120: "Only you can help moderators posts counts from rising! STOP POSTING SPAM!!!"

Thanks!!

[hide=QueenValerie]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I began playing Runescape Feb 15'th 2005. A real life friend introduce me to the game and I have been loving it since.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Queen = Girl

Valerie = My real life name.

I starting using Tip It for the calculator's and quest help on the helpsite.

I then joined the forums March 14'th 2006, shortly after I was asked to be a Mod on the forums Aug 6'th, 2006.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I'm not a huge gamer outside of Runescape in fact I do not play any other type of game on PS2, XBOX etc..

Runescape is my only MMO I have ever played.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

When I first started to play Runescape I was F2P I met a gamer from England ( Paladin ) who showed me how to raise my combat levels and also helped me on a few quests. I then joined P2P and met another gamer from Illinois who really was helpful in showing me how to raise my skills fast and efficient. Big thanks to you both.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

My proudest accomplishment would have to be knowing how to pick myself up from a loss/death or a scam, to never give up no matter how bad things get. As for skills I would have to say my 99 Prayer level also the fact that I have ( 11 ) 99 skills in little over 2 yr's.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Troll Romance~ That quest was fun loved how Ug was sitting in the corner crying over Ag, then how you have to fight Arrg outside because you can't fight in front of a lady. The fact we got to slide down the slope in the sled we made. Reward was rubbish but the quest was cute/funny.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I used to always skill with friends but lately I have been going it alone.

As of right now, I mostly skill alone.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Agility, I feel like a moron running around in circles like a hamster.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

Winter months I play anywhere from 4-5 hours if not more, summer months 2-3 hours if not less. It really depends on a few factors.

I do prefer to play late at night it seems I get my best playing time in.

What are your current goals? Do you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My summer goals are (in order): 91 Runecrafting, 99 Slayer and 99 Mage. Of course this could all change you know how us girls like to change our mind.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I thought of quiting last year in October, thanks to my friends and the Slayer skill I decided to continue my journey in Runescape. I have no plans of quiting as of yet I do plan on taking some Runescape breaks when I feel the need to.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way?

Tip.it Forums have given me a sense of involvement in the RuneScape community, I enjoy being part of such a great community.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Believe it or not last year I came to the forums to bid on a slave I had no plans on staying on the forums. I then spent a few days browsing the forums and I found them helpful and fun. By the way I lost the slave bid, by 1 min. I was typing in my last bid and time ran out.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Spend time with my family, camping, fishing and any other outdoor activity.

[hide=Swedishboy5]

RSN: Swedishboy7

On Tip.it: swedishboy5

IRL: Christian

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I started playing RS in October 2005, when I was 13 years old.

I found RS by mere accident actually. I found it when I was doing a homework about runic stones. At this times I thought "Runic stones" was "Rune stones", becuase in swedish we say "Runstenar" which becomes, directly translated, "Rune stones". Anyway, I searched for it on Google, and found a link to a forum about RuneScape. I remember that it wasn't any of the big fansites forums. Instead, it was a small forum with just like 4 topics about MMORPG:s, and one of these topics was about RS. And it was in that topic I found out about RS. I became curious about the game, and clicked the link to the game website. I created my account, and started playing.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

I wanted a logical name, not like "jkshfhw485" or "hfghaj32", so I thought about what I had for choices. First I thought about names like "master nr.1" and similiar, but I soon throwed those ideas away. Instead I thought about myself. What name could I choose so people around me could know a little bit about me?

I didn't want to make people know to much about me, but neither I wanted them to don't know anything about me. Then I thought about if I could put my country, Sweden, into my name in some way. I thought about it, and chosed to put it togheter with "boy".

But "Swedishboy" was already taken, so I tested to put a random number after my name. It became 7. And so I had my name.

I started using Tip.It in November 2005, after a friend of mine who knew I played RS told me about it.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I didn't play any other online games at this time at all, actually. I only used my computer when I needed to check things for my homeworks, or when I chatted to friends.

I like many other sorts of game except MMO's. Espacially I like puzzle and action games. The best games I think is those games where you mix adventure with action and puzzles. It mustn't necessarily be computer games, I like console games too. For example, I love the Zelda and Prince of Persia series.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Not a single one actually. The friend that told me about Tip.It didn't play RS himself, so I didn't get any help from him.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I think that would be when I achieved 50+ in every F2P skill. I became very proud of it because I had fought so long for it, and I had finally achieved it.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Prince Ali Rescue, because it's such a long quest and because it enjoys me. It feels like I'm doing a great thing when I rescue Ali from jail, and of course it feels good to tie Keli up.

Also I like this quest because it contains so many small puzzles. It doesn't take so long to solve every puzzle, but it surerly takes some time. And all togheter this quest took me 3 days to complete (I didn't use any guide).

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I skill with my friends as often as I can, but mostly I'm alone when I skill. I got alot of friends, but many of them are members. And I'm not...so that could be a part of the reason to why I mostly skills alone too.

Pretty often I merchant too, and then I'm pretty much always alone.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

I don't like crafting. If you want to level fast in it there is not any other alternative than to buy expensive skilling material, like gems and gold bars, to train it. Also, I never use crafting for something. So why is it there, except for draining your cash pile!?

My favourite skill would be Runecrafting. I love rc:ing. The reason to this is probalby because it's so usefull. Instead of buying runes for alot of cash, you can just mine some rune essences and make it yourself! For free! I love that.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

3-4 hours I think.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goal is to get 15M in cash. I have now got about 7,6M and it's increasing fast.

As I said before, my favorite skill is Runecrafting. But I don't train it more than any other skill. I try to have all my skills on about the same level.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

No. I don't have any problems with RS disturbing my real life, and I still think it's a very, very, very, VERY good game. Also I got alot of excellent friends in the game, so why would I quit?

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Yes, it has helped me alot. I have got many new, great friends, alot of advices and it has also improved my english very much (But I'm still not a perfect english-speaker yet, lol).

I have thanks to Tip.It learnt how to make money faster, where I should train my skills and loads of more usefull things about RuneScape.

But the thing I'm happiest for that I joined Tip.It is that I have got so many brilliant friends, who supports and helps me whenever I need it.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

A irl friend tipsed me about after finding it (I never asked how he had found it).

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I like to read. I read ALOT. I read everything from books about Pluto to books like Harry Potter. I reads about 1 book a week, and at the summer vacation about 2-3 books some weeks.

Some other things I like to do is to be with my friends, to watch TV, play tennis and badminton, swim, run and to play computer and console games.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Have patience. That's very important to have if you want to become a successfull RS player.

[hide=Thiesje]

Thiesje2

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I started playing RS in the autumn of 2004 (I think). My irl friend MrBennie told me about RS (he doesn't play RS anymore, he's only on when I'm having a level-up lol ), other irl friends played RS too so I started playing =)

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

My irl name is Matthijs, Thiesje is a deduction. I use my nickname on the internet and irl, they call me 'Thies' or 'Thiesje' (it's like thees-hehh). I started using Tip.It about one month after I started playing Rs.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

No, I have never played any other MMO's, and I don't really want to play other MMO's, I'm too addicted too RS >_< . I've got an old xbox and play racegames on it when I'm bored... I've played other games on the computer like AoE 3, Anno 1602 and Anno 1503.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Yep, but I'm not going to say their names. They've all quit RS because they thought it was for n00bs and the graphics were crap... =( I don't have a irl friend now who's playing RS, I need one lol

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Ehm well... About one year ago I got fletching 84 and was really proud because all my other stats were 70-. My proudest accomplishment is finishing rfd, it took me sooooo long to finish, and I was really proud when I bought my first pair of barrow gloves. One of my goals is 99 woodcutting, then I'll be really proud =)

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Recipe for Disaster, I was so happy when I finished it. It was really worth getting the requirements and finish the required quests. Rfd wasn't the most fun quest, but it's really one of my favorites =)

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I prefer to skill alone, but I'm always in for a good chat {^_^}

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

My least favorite skill is ranging, I hate it. I don't like to pick up arrows or spend money on arrows to not pick them up... I'm happy with my 70 ranged and probably won't raise it (unless I'm getting members). My favorite skill is woodcutting, I really think it's the most relaxing skill. I'm going for 99 woodcutting, it will be hard but I'll get there. I hate those autoers, they ruin F2p, there weren't any autoers 3 years ago *sigh*

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

3 maybe 4 hours a day, I play less in the weekends. When I don't have to go to school I play much more, somtimes 6 to 9 hours a day.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goals are: 90 strenght, 60 runecrafting, 70 crafting, fishing 85, 90 attack, 80 magic, 85 mining, 80 smithing, 99 cooking, 99 firemaking and 99 woodcutting. I like training cooking, smithing and woodcutting more than others. I don't really like runecrafting, it's very slow xp in F2p.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Yep, I've quit 2 times before, but now I have a blog, I'm not quitting =) Though I've been thinking of quitting RS 2 months ago... everything seemed so pointless. I'm not thinking of quitting now =D

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Being part of Tip.It really helped me, the HUGE support of all my friends kept me focused on the game to achieve my goals. I've been looking at discussions all over the forums and they made me look from other sides on a subject.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

In the beginning of my RS career, I didn't know how things worked on RS, I asked irl friends and they told me about Tip.It. I was pretty amazed about the amount of information about RS on Tip.It, Tip.It helped me alot =D

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I like to hang out with some friends and make fun. I like to go out and korfball (a Dutch sport). I haven't really got other hobby's or things to do outside the game...

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Keep focused and (if I may quote Lonk41 =) ) nothing is impossible. Don't swear of flame people on runescape or on the forums, there's always a real person behind the pixels, respect him/her and get respected.

THANK YOU

[hide=Dusty668]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I started playing RuneScape back in early 2001. A couple of my good friends from school had started playing it and were always talking about it in class so I decided I'd go ahead and give it a try. Back then my family still had dial-up so it was painfully slow to load the game and I would frequently disconnect, hence I only reached around 40 combat by the time RS2 came out.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

My name came from my dog Dusty who is a cross between a golden retriever and german shepard. The 668 is a special number to me which I've decided I don't want to share with anyone(no, it's not something dirty, get your mind outa the gutter you!).

I started using Tip.It shortly after I began playing RuneScape, primarily using the calculators and various other guides. I've only recently joined the forum but am loving it so far.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

Don't play any other MMO's currently, but I used to play Starcraft on my PC, and the main xbox games I still play are Battlefield 2 and Halo 2.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Not really, I've always been more of a giver then a taker, so I was the one who was usually helping my friends once I got the hang of the game.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

It's a close tie between getting my first rune long on RSC and getting 90 farm on RS2. I'd have to go with 90 farm though, seeing that nice pretty 90 on the skill menu was very rewarding.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Argh quests, I loathe quests. The one I had the most fun doing though was Dragon Slayer, even though I could never afford the rune platebody once I finished it, it was still a major accomplisment for me at the time.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I'm generally a loner on the game, I prefer to be alone when I want to heavily concentrate on training, but I do poke around World 99 edgeville from time to time to get my social fix hehe

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Has to be fletching. Standing in a bank practically autoing, or destroying my wrists by constantly stringing bows isn't really something that appeals to me. I think also the fact that so many people train the skill makes me not like it even more.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

It varies a lot but I'd say I get in at least a good 2 hours a day, depending on my shedule. Some times it can go all the way up to 8 and other days I won't even play at all.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

I'm working my way up to 99 farming and I want to achieve around 110 combat by the end of this year. Farming is of course, my favourite skill.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Sometimes the thought has crossed my mine, and I've taken long breaks before, but I always come back to the great game.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Oh 100% helped. 99% of my friends list is fom Tip.It forums, and without the support and friendships I've gotten here, I would have quit playing RuneScape long ago.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

I can't exactly remember, I might have googled RuneScape or RuneScape fansite and had this site pop up in the search results. Either way, I'm very glad I found it.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Hang out with friends, go to parties, have fun. I'm just your basic teenager, with a passion for virtual farming haha

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Remember, RuneScape is just a game. If you find yourself doing something in-game and aren't having fun doing it, STOP! No one is forcing you to do it, you're your own boss on the game.

N_odie: Thanks for the interview =P

Btw love this in your sig!!!

[hide=Hyt Bbq]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I began playing runescape about 6 months after RSC came out. I made a new account after each time I died, because I thought it was just easier to start over. I didnt play much and i wasnt sure exactly how to play, but I eventually figured it out.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Ah yes, my name. My name is a combination of a few earlier accounts. Bbq--sauce, and Hyt-noob. Bbq, was my first good account, but i do have one before that a few people know, but bbq was godly to me, and it was stolen and sits rotting in the high scores. So when that was stolen, i made Hyt-noob, because i had joined the Tip.it forums, and most of my friends were here. So because they mean so much to me, and had always been so nice, i decided to honour them and this hawt site by incorporating it into my name. But since bad things always happen to good people, i was perm banned. I did manage to recover the account and it is on a last chance, so like always starting over sounded easier. Therefore, i made Hyt-bbq

Did you play any other MMO's and what type of other games do you enjoy?

This was actually the first game i had ever played on a computer, besides pinball. =P I do enjoy games like Battle Field 1942, CounterStrike (Source) and all the games in that little area.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Actually no, i was really on my own until I found Toast, he really helped me tons and means more to me than any of you... most the time. But in the time that he has been f2p, i r have misseded him.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

My mage and prayer. On bbq--sauce i managed to get 82 mage, most of which was done in f2p. But other than that, im a complete prayer noob, and usually thats what i spend my money on. I have 80 prayer banked and i want an untrimmed prayer cape. =D

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Priest in peril. I love seeing how angry the king gets when i kill that silly dog. And i get prayer xp.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

It really depends on whats going on. I run into green-dots everywhere.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Herblore. Any skill that needs a quest to start should be shot.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

Quite a few. It depends on my school work and when i wake up.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

99 prayer. Prayer isnt tought about much, and with all the pures in RS they need to have their ego's cut down. Because pures cant touch prayer nubs.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

Yes. All the time really, i hate this game but i always come back for one reason or another. And if i get crap about it I will usually go off on you. sawree ultimania =(

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

This is where all my green dots are from. All of them. without my friends, i have no reason to play.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Toast told me about it. Before that, i had been calc-ing everything by myself, and it was super annoying.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I am a nerd so, i build computers, im in band so that takes up time too. I program, sleep, eat, and have a decent time going out with friends. If anyone knows what the Sugar Bowl is, I'll be going to that. AND i will be in the halftime show. =D

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Get as many friends as you can. Without friends we ALL know this game stinks. Keep your friends close and your drink away from the keyboard.

LOL and thanks for sending in the interview! =D

[/hide]

[hide=Sonicoscar]

Before you read this interview, think about how cool it is to have people like Oscar on the site? What I mean, take a read =P

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

OoohÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m not sure when I started, but it was a very long time ago I can

tell you. 2003 maybe? No. That seems too long. I actually discovered

runescape through miniclip, I hear a lot of people saying ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâminiclip noobsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢

and its true! I was a noob. But no longer.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâSonicoscarÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ comes from my Neopets name. I wasnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t sure what my neopets user

should be so my dad suggested Sonic + Oscar because I like Sonic and my

nameÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Oscar

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

Neopets obviously and that was it. Nowadays I also have a club penguin, but

runescapeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a lot better. In general I like platformers and RPGsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ. And

Sonic.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

No, but I wish I had.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

HmmmmmÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ difficult one. I would probably have to say it was when I stopped

being a proper newb and trained up my combat so I could do all f2p quests

except dragon slayer, and I did, with a little help from friends.

What is one of your favourite quests to do on game?

My favourite ever quest would probably be DoricsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ quest or cooks assistant.

DoricsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ because it introduced me to mining (one of my favourite skills) and

cooksÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ assistant because it took me ages to do, I started it, couldnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t do it

then forgot about it for ages, lol.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when

skilling?

Well I am quite a loner, but I chat with friends and stuff and nowadays I

like to have fun with friends, like me and [insert user here] sometimes meet

up and go partying in POH!

What is your least/favourite skill? Why?

My least favourite skill is probably Herblore or fletching, theyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re both

boring in my opinion. But IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve started to get more into fletching now. My

favourite skill is either mining, smithing or construction. Back when I was

f2p I used to mine and smith a lot, I still enjoy it. But p2p is cool

because construction is. The whole house thing is fun and sure there are

bugs but in the long run itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s very fun.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

Too many, maybe 2-3

What are your current goals? DO you have a favourite skill that you like

working on more than others?

My current goals are:

Attack to 40

Strength to 35

Defence to 30

Range to 5

Mining to 60

Smithing to 55

Construction to 35

Thieving to 31

Woodcut to 35 (for teak)

I probably enjoy construction the most because it is more varied

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I did actually quit once, stuff got busy and I forgot about it for about a

year!

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

The skill guides are cool, and I like being able to share my ides for the

game!

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

I searched for a fan website.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I like to do other stuff on the computer. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m nerdy. Get over it.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all

fellow Tip.iters?

Runescape is about fun, donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t just mindlessly train stats, go about and have

a laugh! ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a game for gods sake! Keep in that mindset!

Keep it realÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ

Sonicoscar

Thanks a ton. This interview really shows that one doesn'thave to be a high lv to be part of the Tip.It Community! (Though your goals shouldn't take to long to accomplish) I hope that as you lv up and come back to this post in a year or two you can have a big laugh. Don't get it, Wait a couple years and you will =P

I LOVE to film. Anything from skateboarders, my friends being idiots, skateboarding, concerts, events, etc, etc... Baseball is another. I've been playing ever since I was 5, currently 15.

[hide=Boris5000]

Boris5000

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I began Runescape when i was in year 7 so about 2 1/2 years ago around October 2004. My friends had told me about the amazing game called runescape, i was reluctant at first, I did not understand it very well, But now. I have become quite adept.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

I had used boris5000 in many other games before eg. Diablo2, Warcraft 3, I chose Boris from my n64 game james bond golden eye and my fave character was of course Boris and the 5000, i just though of it and it sounded catchy, When did i start to use Tip.it however my memory is quite blurry and i can't remember well, but i did stumble upon it in my youth of runescape, maybe in october 2005 then i joined tif 3 months later. My new name miles skills, i had become over an odd likeness for the name miles, and he was going to be a skiller, miles skills

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I actually play lots of games around runescape: Counter-strike:source, Diablo2, Warcraft 3, Renaissance Kingdom, Baldurs Gate, Baldurs gate 2, Ice Wind Dale, Ice Wind Dale2 and Never-winter nights. But i do get a nice ammount of Runescape inside all that to my shock.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Well my irl friends all played at the same time so we kinda led each other blindly learn which was fun. I was the only one who strayed away from combat to find the mysterious world of skills. I did not add anyone from rs at that time, i was only 12...

What is your proudest accomplishment?

My proudest acheivement would probably getting my whip, took me a whole week and i sold everything and got lured to get that whip.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Tears of Guthix took me 2 minutes and got me so many levels...

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I wouldn't consider to be a loner while skilling, because i would normally talk to the person near me and make friends with them, so many rs friends that way, plus i talk to people alot in PM

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

My least favourite skill is fletching because its fletching probably the biggest time/money waster i have ever come across. On the other hand my favourite skill is woodcutting ironicly.

On average, how many hours a day do you play? I would say i used to do 3-4 hours, i still do that but i have other things to do.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goals Are in my blog, click on it there are alot of goals.

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I do get bored of the game and become reluctent to play it at times but then I'll find some reason to come back and play again.

I believe i will quit, one day.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Tip.It has helped me alot, and im mean alot. I wouldn't actually be able to half the things i would do without the calculators, quests guides, minigame guides. I wouldn't of found tif either and met all of your guys

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

As i said before i had stumbled upon it in my youth, I need help for a quest, and i can't honestly remember what it was, but all i know that i did the quest.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I go to school, the biggest time-waster of all, on weekends i go skateboarding and go to movies sometimes, sometimes i would just bum around the house or at a friends house. Or play other games.

Be yourself, let it out. Some tifers are great listeners and they don't care if you swear and are always in the mood to have fun and joke.

Thank you Sir =P

[/hide]

[hide=Apcrump0]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

Almost 2 years ago, and because a friend at school asked me if I played on

it, so I decided to check it out

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

Sorta to do with a username at school. I started using the quest guides

about 3 months after I joined, and the forums a few months after that

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

No. And I like shooting games a lot

No. I have no friends from when I started, but after a bit, I made friends

with someone great, and he is still my friend now, even though he isnt as

active

What is your proudest accomplishment?

75 Runecrafting. Not to high, but a lot of people hate rcing, I dont :P

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Definity a magic one. Lunar was quite good

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when

skilling?

I dont mind. Its always nice to talk to someone if you dont need to click

alot

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Strength. It isnt to bad, but I want to prove that if you have high defence,

it means you can cancel out the high strength

Defence and runecrafting are in my top 3. Mainly because they are quite fun

to train, also because they are good

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

About 2?

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like

working on more than others?

99 Fletching for my first 99

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

[hide=Evil_Ruler7]

Evil_Ruler7

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I began playing Runescape in late 2004, around December. I used to play it through miniclip, but after 45 woodcutting, I decided to go to members, to try my luck at the maples! For a long time since then all I did was woodcut, and I'm now 92. (figured I'd add a story =D )

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

I didn't have much creativity back when I joined. I couldn't think of a name, but I desperately wanted to play. I decided I'd go with something related to evil and rulers of the middle ages. I can up with Evil Ruler. That was taken to I tried to get every number thru 7, but end with Evil Ruler7. I started to use tip.it when doing quests. Sometimes when I didn't understand Runehq I could come here for quest advice. I saw the forum feature and decided I better sign up. My post count is low because i just made this account, after my last one had problems. I've been trying to get blog support and all that since early April. =P

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you

enjoy?

From September to March I took a break off Runescape, and played a game called Conquer. It involved my two favorite parts of a game, combat and getting rich quick. But not even a game so fit for me could keep me away from Runescape.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Ahh yes. My best friend, and first friend who recently quit helped me sooo much. He basically bought me the levels to do heroes quest and Legends. Whenever I needed help he was there. Sad that he's gone. =S

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Many people might answer with one of their 99s. I, however, LOVE my 92 woodcutting. When you put so much effort into something you have to love it. I worked for all of my first things with woodcutting. A green mask, whip, armor, you name it.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

I loathe questing. But if i had to name a favorite it would be Recipe For Disaster, because of the humor that jagex snuck in, and the cutscenes. gotta love cutscenes.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when

skilling?

I absolutely have to be talking to someone or I will not do anything. Without talking or friends the game isn't interesting.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

My favorite and least favorite skills change a lot. For me right now the favorite would be slayer. Once again it involves one of my favorite aspects, combat. My least favorite would be farming. People say its easy to train, but i dont remember to make my rounds and its just a pain to me.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

I'll admit, i play a TON. If there's nothing going on in life I'm on here.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

My current goals are 85 slayer, 99 defence, and 124 combat. The 124 combat is just so I dont have to right click abyssal demons. I'm just lazy like that, huh?

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I never think of quitting, just sometimes I get bored and take breaks.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

To see support on my blog helps me train. Though some people just like to look and not post. :evil:

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Like I mentioned earlier I used the quest guides and treasure trails functions. Bless those treasure trail archives!

What do you like to do outside of the game?

Outside of Runescape I like eating, sleeping, and breathing :D Actually basically I just like to hang out.

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

When bored of Runescape, or of focusing on one skill, don't stand in a bank and wonder what to do. Find a skill you like, train it 'till it's boring, then train another!

[/hide]

[hide=PhaperPlane]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

When did I begin to play? Well, I started on my old account, I can't even remember its name! It was when RS2 first became public, but I didn't know at the time =P Anyways, I got bored of my old character and made a new one, Phaper Plane, he started out as a pure range, but then, I decided to train defence etc. I found Runescape via some friends of mine.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

I picked my name because it was the first word I ever said. I started to use Tip.It because I was annoyed at a Tresaure Trail, I heard about this site and joined up to it because the guide was so great :)

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

I played Guild Wars for a while, got bored of that and Maple Story, got bored of that too.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

No, I'm a very independent person. I worked my way to get money by figuring out, what was in demand first.

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Well, getting 80 fishing was one, I've always loved fishing and getting 80 in that skil has been my proudest moment.

ECT?

199 Quest Points, I also love quests. Getting 199 Quest Points is quite amazing since I'm Level 90

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

Fishing is my Favourite. I don't know but I just enjoy it. I hate farming, it takes far too long and it costs loads!

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

Elemental Workshop II, a good sequel to an old school quest. Brings back some good times =-)

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

I can never skill on my own, I have to be with some friends. I just don't like being alone.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

99 Fishing, my favourite skill, the cape looks nice also. I also want to get 99 cooking, so I can get my fishing cape trimmed =)

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

Focus on your goals, make lots of friends and most importantly, Love pie! <3

[hide=JAmesjeffery]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

i started playing in october 2005, just in time for halloween update =D and i found out about runescape by overhearing my mates at school talking about it they said i wouldnt like it but i gave it a try, then on tutorial i got stuck so i made my friend come round and help me .

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It?

I picked my name because my nickname was jimbob and i couldnt have that, so i just put my date of bitrh on top of that and i started tipit when i found out about the web when i couldnt do gertrude cat >.< im sad lol then i found out a few months later they had a drop party so i joined tipit so i could find out the event time location and such. It was a blast so many people

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

Nope never, i play other game consoles rarly because the games dont update sadly, i loved the finaly fantasy series ( RPG) like runescape i always had a passion for roll playing games.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Yes he helped me loads but i passed him in combat 2 weeks play XD

What is your proudest accomplishment?

MY proudest achivement in runescape is 85 slayer its like a dream free whip you just can't explain how it feels apart from great

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

I love the troll series i dont know why my arms big aventure was great, like jokes in it and the trolls are dumb so they dont speak properly

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling?

If im skilling and my mates are doing it as well i would do with them but most don't like the stuff i do lol.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

My favourite skill is Slayer as its part of combat and i am a fighting man, im meant to be skilling but i seem to be slipping away, My least favourite is Runecrafting because i used to use abyss as a lower level and i kept being pked i havnt tried since i been in the 120's apart from the odd 1k made which i quite enjoy.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

As i rarly play my games consoles, most people play them and runescpae, i just play runescape, and its depends on the weather UK, being very rubbish, meaning i can't play football and tennis, but if i had to say a figure i would say 5hours

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

I only have a few set goals at the moment and they are, 90 slayer i mean 90 slayer is an achivement for any body, 90 crafting to be able to craft furies like slayer thats another great achivement, and 99 thieving as i started it and never finished it =p

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

I rarly think of quitting i only thought it once, when someone claimed it was for a "pk" video and they lured me and lost a whip when they were 3m :wall:, then to top it off the next day i was looking at tipit while doing the quest where you kill the troll generals thinking they wouldnt att, BOOM looked at screen i was in fally, with nothing, but i didnt quit

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

Yes a lot they keep the movation for my skills if they dont post on my blog i think i might as well give up.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

As mentioned i was a noob and couldnt do gertude cat lol.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

I like to play football ( soccer) i play in goal me being stupid and i like to dive on the floor, and dont care being hurt. I also play tennis which i won the championship at school, i also like to go out with my mates getting drunk in the part during school hours XD

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

I would have to say if you decide for a goal dont give up it may take time but if you give it up it will just take longer, also dont let runescape get in the way of real life.

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it?

I started playing RuneScape withen the first few months it came out on Uj531. I don't really play on him now but I came across it talking with some friends on AIM Instant Messenger.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It? Well my firs RS account (Uj531) stands for Uncle Joe 531. 531 was the area code of my cell phone at the time so I thought, hmm, why not?

As for my current account (Joes So Cool) I thought of my name and added S So Cool after it

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy?

Like oreo (which I never knew before) I have played the Commandment Concor games ever since they came out! My favorite being the original (C'N Concor your Allies.).

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?

Well no, considering I diddn't even know anything about the game untill level 40 combat or so. But now my friends help me alot!

What is your proudest accomplishment?

Well, my proudest accomplishment would have to be my red mask or santa hat. I started Joes So Cool May 1st with a pumpkin on him and now have a net-worth of about 85m-90m or so. I am going to merchant with him untill I achieve 25m cash, A santa hat, and a White Pee-Hat. Then I will return to F2P where I have gotten all my levels (I have 730 total right now all f2p levels and I have 0 member exp in all members skills. (F2P 4 LYFE!

[hide=Samurai_lassie]

When did you begin playing RS and how did you come across it? I began in early 2006 i think,I have had small breaks

now and then probably the longest lasting 2 weeks.

How did you pick your name? When did you start to use Tip.It? My name was picked because ... i really dont

know why i was chooseing a lot of names that were "giraffe862"

and i dint want the numbers so i picked something utterly

weird. I started useing the tip.it forums only to later 2006

perhaps early 2007 i chose the username samurai lassie for

no reason and i do not like the fact i chose that username.

Did you play any other MMOÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s and what type of other games do you enjoy? Halo2 & 1 are classics but i didnt play any

type of game like runescape i dont really enjoy any console game.

Did you have any friends help you as you started the game?no , when i started the game my friends were pretty low levels too. I started mining ore straight away and they were killing

cows and selling there hides for a small amount of money so i

quickly became richer then them

What is your proudest accomplishment?

85 & 90 mining were cool but every mining level i achieve

is a huge accomplishment for me.

What is one of your favorite quests to do on game?

i havent done much quests cook assistant is red on my quest book, dragon slayer defiantly it was really nooby fun.

Are you a loner on the game or do you prefer to be with friends when skilling? I would have to say i am a huge

loner on the game, not many of my friends play anymore and just check out the level of support on my blog, But yes i will just

hide in a lil mining spot with chat off.

What is your least/favorite skill? Why?

hunter, jagex could have done so much more or it is just

me that wanted there to be dear and bear and you hunt them

with bow and arrow not some thing called a chipopper or what ever the muffy thing is called.

On average, how many hours a day do you play?

2-4 hours approximately 60-120,000 xp on a day i just

dont want to play i usually are able to rack up only

10k or so.

What are your current goals? DO you have a favorite skill that you like working on more than others?

MINING always has been my favourite skill although i also

like construction and farming (i dont have any time/money for them)

Do you ever think of quitting the game?

always... i actually feel like quitting runescape and throwing

out this interview thing right now.

Has being part of Tip.It helped you in any way? How?

yes , but it also has proablly slowed me down.

How did you come across the Tip.It website?

Looking for a runescape info site although it was sometime

before i went on the forums because it says "you must have

a registered account to enter this section of the site" and i couldnt be bothered.

What do you like to do outside of the game?

drawing/painting

What would be the one piece of major advice that you would give to all fellow Tip.iters?

just because you dont get many replys on your thread it dosent

meen anything, at the mining level i am currently deal had over

30 pages of replies and look at me with 7. It pushes you away from what you are trying to achieve who gives if some one

leaves a good luck or not really views are all that count :).
