Alex’s Analysis – Sticking To It __________________________________________ You want a level 99? Who doesn’t? Ah, but if you read my level 99 defense article, you’ll understand why not everybody wants it. Well, why I don’t, anyways. But you want it. You wouldn’t be here, otherwise. But how to get it? There’s cheating, of course. Macroing, sweat-shop distribution, multiple-players to [...]

Alex’s Analysis – Nomad’s Requiem

When I saw the words “Grandmaster quest” on the main page, my heart was filled with excitement. Finally, we get to take on Lucien and bring on the next step through the storyline and potentially- … wait, what? Nothing to do with While Guthix Sleeps? And … the quest is MEDIUM length? WHAAAT? What kind of [...]

QUEST START AND REQUIREMENTS They said it, not me. THE QUEST GUIDE! All right. This quest is, in a nutshell, one long test of endurance. Not only are you going to be killing things, but you’re going to be killing strong things. And not just strong things. LOTS of strong things. At once. At the same time. For long [...]

Alex’s Analysis – Mysteries of the Mahjarrat

One of the major quest series of Runescape is this Mysteries of the Mahjarrat series, which subliminally started with the Fight Arena where General Khazard was denied a couple of slaves … and his little dog too, and Lucien sought the fabled Staff of Armadyl. Just an artifact for his collection, nothing more. At first, in [...]

Checking out the main website, I saw the word “Classic” and immediately thought, “All right. Another development diary taking us back to the good old days. The “gold” days. … conveniently and aptly named, of course.” As I usually do, I skipped the summary and dove straight into the article, where it told me that [...]

Alex’s Analysis – Dark changes all around.

I hardly recognize Runescape anymore. With the Display Name Update, I see unfamiliar names all over my friends list, capital letters all throughout the city, and interesting letter combinations I’d never dreamed anybody would want themselves referred as. I see riots, rants, and arguments over updates throughout the forums, in general, recent updates, and sometimes [...]

THE MINI-QUEST Well, I’m not going to bore you with words, especially on something that’s supposedly supposed to be fun, so instead I’ll make it fun with this! The quest guide told by DEX! Oh my word, the black demon-eye-skin blanket you promised me had BETTER be worth this … It will be. It’s some of the most comfortable [...]

Being a programmer myself, I have begun to understand why this update took so long to do through the physical standpoint of a processor. Of course, this is merely a hypothesis, since I don’t actually know the game code, so bear with me. If you are not a big-time computer person, I suggest you skip [...]

Alex’s Analysis – What the Future Holds

For a while now, we’ve been learning the upcoming of Jagex’ latest projects through means other then the monthly update (which, I admit, was a lot more fun to look forward to). Developers blogs, twitter accounts, even subliminal messages in the Postbag and Players Gallery (which, for some odd reason, seems to happen half-yearly now). [...]

Alex’s Analysis – The Menagerie

Interesting how one day’s news can change something dramatically. At first, the only pet item in anybody’s house was an unused pet basket in the corner of the kitchen. Now, with some good planning and good design work, there’s now an entire room dedicated to them! Of course, being such an avid constructor, I had to [...] « Older Entries
