Hi everyone! Our Dear Leader Shane let me out of the RSBandB Dungeon this month to write a roundup!!! All hail the Dear Leader!

We have a fabulous selection of Informer articles for you all this month! Colton started us out by telling us why his (future) child should play RuneScape and Mason told us all about RuneScape’s love for wordplay. Mr. Bistro gave his analysis of RuneScape.com and Tanis gave us his thoughts on the RuneScape Road Trip. The last two RuneScape articles we have for you this month are Alex’s commentary on the new drop system and how it takes away from the immersion of the game, and our Dear Leader Shane finishes the RuneScape articles off with a talk about the RuneScape GUI. Finally, Duke Juker has his gaming article, discussing the different types of gamers.

As for Skill of the Month, Tim wins his fifth skill of the month in a row, winning the Thieving skill of the month, gaining 32.4 million experience! In second, we have PoisonNova with 22.3 million experience gained, and Jamandy52 with 3.2 million experience gained. Congratulations, Tim, and here is your trophy!

I would also like to advertise our weekly PC Gaming event. We play every Tuesday night at 8:00 PM RSBandB time/MDT (that’s 10 PM EDT) and we pick from a selection of Counterstrike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and Garry’s Mod. Please join us in our mumble server too. You can find a guide on that here!

Well, I’m going to see if I can escape! Catch y’all later!

Love,

Earth

Back in 2011 I did my initial analysis of the RuneScape GUI. There were a myriad of issues with the current state of the game interface. It was unclear what direction the interface was ultimately going to go in. However, since then we’ve been blessed with RuneScape 3. RuneScape 3 fixed many of the interface […]

Backpacking Across RuneScape

Well the RuneScape road trip is coming to a close but what a wild ride it has been. People say it’s the journey and not the destination that really matters, however this update challenges conventional wisdom and makes the destination just as rewarding. There were some differences this year that I’ll take a look at. […]

The Different Types of Gamers

A while back, I did an article talking about the difference between being a gamer and a “gamer.” This mostly had to do with negative perceptions about gamers. I also made it clear that gamers are a very unique and diverse group of people. As such, I feel that it’s worth spending some time getting […]

One of the newest updates that have been presented to us is a reworked drop pickup ability. Players can click on a pile of drops and get a menu allowing them to either pick out choice items via image rather than name, or even pick up everything at once in one fell swoop. By the […]
