As of Friday, August 15, 2008, there are 24 skills in RuneScape. Some support each other, like woodcutting supports fletching. Ever since RuneScape’s creation there have been ideas for many new skills to add, from Flying to Engineering to many others. One of the most popular ideas was a Necromancy or Summoning skill, which was [...]
I have always been a big fan of exploration in RuneScape. Even if there isn’t a quest to do, a skill to train, or a minigame to play, I like to travel to many different places just to look around. More so after the graphics update, there are quite a few interesting places that can [...]
Until recently, RuneScape has always had very poor graphics compared to other games of its kind, such as World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and many other MMORPGs. With the graphical update, it now has competitive graphics, and some textures are believed to be better than those in World of Warcraft. But what if RuneScape didn’t [...]
Any players of RuneScape that didn’t sign up within the past couple of months (and even some that did) know of RuneScape’s troubling history of cheaters. From macroing to gold farming to afk training, RuneScape has a known problem of players trying to take the easy way out. Even Jagex knew this, and with updates [...]
I was recently reading a thread on the forums for The Escapist, an online gaming newspaper. The thread was called “Secret gaming confessions”, and it asked posters to post some. As I read the thread, I saw things like “I enjoy watching people play Viva Pinata out of curiosity” or “I’ve never played *insert famous [...]
After Jagex “killed” the Wilderness and most Player Vs. Player combat in RuneScape, they have been trying to keep PKers interested. Fist of Guthix is the newest Player Vs. Player Mini-game and, unlike other Mini-games, it is available to free players. Instead of item-risking Bounty Hunter, all your items are safe while you play in [...]
After the Stronghold of Security, the randoms popping up to inform you about safety, and now the Stronghold of Player Safety, players must be quite ignorant to give out certain details. Most of the stuff in this new Stronghold is merely common sense, but I suppose not all players have much of that. The real [...]
Finished 5:18 P.M. (Mountain Time) on February 26, 2008. Vinesweeper is the newest addition to Jagex’s arsenal of members-only minigames. It is basically a Runescape version of Minesweeper, with a few changes. To begin Vinesweeper, head to your nearest Tool Leprechaun, located near farming patches. Bring a spade and a few thousand gp. If you forget a [...]
With the release of the quest Wolf Whistle, many players came from every corner of RuneScape to Taverley. The reason? A druid named Pikkupstix. Pikkupstix is the man to talk to for a start to RuneScape’s newest skill: Summoning. There aren’t any requirements from this quest, apart from being a member, but completing the quest Priest [...]
Of course, with the huge updates that befell RuneScape, you’d expect some whining by people who didn’t like it. With updates of that magnitude, make that lots of whining. But, contradicting what many of the pures/quitters/Pixes flooding (and I mean FLOODING) the rants forums, RuneScape is not coming to an end. Yet. First off, I’ll deal [...]
