I think RuneHQ shouldn't be the top fansite simply because there are other sites like tip.it/runescape that give just as much information if not mare than Rune HQ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Davud363000 ( talk • contribs) .

I think that this sentence is important to the article, but everything I put in bold above seems like fancruft to me (is a non-player going to care about members being able to do Recipe for Disaster?)
"Membership status allows players to explore their own part of the RuneScape world, which has since become the majority of the map, dozens of new quests to embark on, such as Recipe for Disaster, new skills to tackle, like fletching, new items to be had, like the dragon spear, various mini-games to pass the time, such as Castle Wars, and other minor, yet numerous additions."

the membership section is taking shape now, but is looking more like an advertisment that an enclyclopedic section. this will need to be severely rewritten before this article is going anywhere beyond a "B" article. here is the current text, with problematic sections identified:
"Players are allowed to upgrade their account status to "Members" status, and can then gain access to a plethora of new features which over time, have become more numerous than what is offered to players of free status. This feature of RuneScape is referred to as Pay-to-play, or P2p. The premium fee attached to membership is $5.00 United States Dollars (USD) per month when paying with a credit card, $6.99 USD per month when paying by phone, or $7.95 USD per month when using the services of PaybyCash.com. The cost of a membership has been $5.00 USD per month since its conception, and any additional costs are influenced by the third-parties used to handle the transactions.
Membership status allows players to explore much more of the RuneScape world, which has since become the majority of the map. It also offers many more quests, skills, and items, as well as making posts, having pets, various mini-games and other minor, yet numerous additions. In addition to more game content, frequent game updates, access to official community forums, and more dedicated customer support are also some of the advantages of having a subscription. The official RuneScape website provides more indepth information as to what advantages are available to members." Exarion 00:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
How about something along this lines: "Players may upgrade their account to "Members" status by paying a monthly fee. Membership allows players to access additional map space, quests, items, the official forum and other features. Paying customers enjoy updates on a regular basis as well as more dedicated customer support." I don't think it's neccessary to go more in depth then that. Actually i wouldn't make a seperate "membership" section at all. I feel this subject is already explained well enough. So i'd say: Just delete that section.
Ok, yet another scammer attempts a mass attack in the article. This time from Runescape cheats ( talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). Amarkov shot that little plan down in record time, but that won't stop the vandal from doing it again or creating articles for the same purpose.

Generally the title "Runescape" is unencyclopaedic. Should we move the article to "Runescape 2" and make "Runescape" redirect to "Runescape 2" and put down a disambugation page while we are at it?

my brother was playing runescape like he has been for 2 years and we saw a player change (1,000k)to (10,004) and back to (1,000k) like he was deleting the 4 and putting k to scam us. is that posable and if so how do we prevent it? flare mage22
I dont think so it did not do that to me and i have been playing for 3 1/2 years now i think it was a scam. Flare Mage22
well then tell me where i can ? mr. rude!! Flare Mage22
well this is also a problem seeing as i am not a paying member. therefor not alowing me to post anything on the forum. A guy trying to get some answers
Some proof that ive added here is in bold with footnotes
RuneScape takes place in the fantasy-themed realm of Gielinor1, which is divided into the Kingdoms of Misthalin, Asgarnia, and Kandarin, the tropical island of Karamja, the Kharidian Desert, the Wilderness, and various other areas.[4] Players can travel throughout the game world on foot, magical teleportation, gnome gliders, fairy rings, and others. Each region offers different types of monsters, materials, and quests to challenge players.
Players are shown on the screen as customizable avatars. They set their own goals and objectives, deciding which of the available activities to pursue. There is no linear path that must be followed.2 Players can engage in combat with other players or with monsters, complete quests, or increase their experience in any of the available skills. Players can also interact with each other through trading, chatting, or playing combative or cooperative mini-games.
On 27 February 2002, Jagex launched an optional service. In order to gain access to a more extensive variety of features, players could choose to pay a monthly fee of £3.20, $5.00 United States dollars, or €8.40 per month when paid by credit card. Players can also pay through online services such as Pay Pal, by check or money order, or with their telephone number by paying additional fees to the payment provider. While not a new version3, because the game still operated under the same game engine, this service significantly changed the focus of the game.
Random events are short interludes that occur during the game, requiring some form of player input. They were introduced to deter players from using automated programs, known as macros or bots, to play the game with no human interaction. Postings in the RuneScape forums by Andrew Gower suggest that random events were designed not only to hinder macroers but to alleviate the monotony that can occur while leveling skills for long periods of time (referred to as grinding)4
Players can submit questions to any NPC in the game. Selected letters are answered in an update called Postbag from The Hedge at the end of each month. This feature of the site started on 26 September 2005 and has since become one of the most accessed pages of the site. From 24 September 2002 through 9 December 2004, players could submit questions to the RuneScape gods; however, the gods will no longer communicate so directly with mortal beings5.
1. This is the Guthix name for RuneScape; there are other names. 2. Some random players are chosen to do special reasons, such as Dark Prior. (Note- the most recent Dark Prior is Lord Revan57 [me]). 3. There are improvements constantly for just paying members. 4. Many people have never heard this term, including myself. 5. In the Zamorak Temple near the Taverly wilderness entrance, if you take Zamorak's wine, he will pour out his fiery wrath upon you. Is that not communication. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.119.251.105 ( talk • contribs) .
This is the one who wrote this article again. Runescape can be known by many different terms, like Geilenor, the Material Realm, and the Anti Warp. The players chosen to do things isnt part of a quest. Its in game fantasy. For example, the Dark Prior, he is a chaos lord. The player is not obligated to do it, BUT, when he finds out, many want to go along with it, in order to mve along the ingame plot. I understand what you meant by the game isnt changed, but it unlocks much, much more when you become a member. So, it sort of changes your veiw of RuneScape as a game. According to the "Gods not communicating" item, people such as the Dark Prior are immortal and can never truly die without being rewarded in the immaterial realm. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.119.251.105 ( talk • contribs) .
Article Writer again. Contact my RuneScape player Lord Revan57 for imformation on the Dark Prior. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.119.251.105 ( talk • contribs) .
I enjoy Runescape very much and I read that somebody said that this article should be relocated to Runescape 2. I disagree. This is a more popular version, so I believe it deserves the title of Runescape.
This is a discussion page, not the actual article. So I am allowed to add a comment (I am discussing Runescape) My name is Deathordoom0 on Runescape. And thank you to whomever deleted Chidro7's topic.
Also I started Runescape just a few days after postbag from the hedge was created (just a fun fact). Runescape4lyfe 01:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Why is Runescape referred to as Gielinor in the article? It certainly isn't known as this within the game and I can only find one or two references to this word in the crumby postbag on the runescape site?-- timdew ( Talk) 08:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Please, when editing articles involving RuneScape, don't use relative terms such as "recent" or "new". These become out-of-date very quickly and require someone else to edit them once those updates have become old news. Since this isn't a RuneScape current events article, I'd say write everything as if it was a regular, completely integrated part of the game, rather than a new update. If you must, put the date in which the update was introduced for the most major updates. It's really getting annoying when I have to edit out the words "recent" or "new" a dozen times.

Too many haters are being nit picky about every runescape related page they can get their hands on.

I think there should be a seperate article about Runescape Classic. I, and I'm sure many other people, would like to know more about it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Codelyoko193 ( talk • contribs)
I think it could warrant an article, and I say this lightly, but ONLY if 5+ people still have active rsc accounts of which to gain info with, AND can find sources for (I know tip.it still has it's rsc page) However, If it were up to me, i would put it at A subpage of this page as to avoid AfDs until the RS/WIKI community says that it is ready. If any of the above don't work out. Everyone working the page will need to use this
AfD | This user has had pages put up for deletion. Most of the time, they were deleted. |

I personally think that either add more information to this page, or make it an entire section, or just make a seperate page. This would only work if at least 5 people with RSC accounts would be willing to contribute to this.

Is it a good idea, or not? It's better now that it's sourced, but is it important enough? - Amarkov blah edits 19:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Some detail on the moderators would be good in the main article (which discusses more than gameplay anyway), providing it is in keeping with the article and doesn't drag on. The community article serves no purpose, RS' community itself is largely teenage boys who play RS, it's self-explanatory.
The amount of text devoted to moderators in the community article is out-of-proportion with their actual impact on gameplay. It's something of an RS foible that so many players obsess over them, but again we're talking a large crowd of teenage boys - anything 'different' or with even the faintest whiff of authority is pored over fixatedly. There are 3 moderator types. Jagex staff members? What do they do? That's the info needed. That p-mods have their own forum etc. etc. is no more relevant to those wanting info on RS than the contents of the average Tesco worker's lunch box is to those who want info on Tesco. 86.142.194.72 15:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
The following lines are in the article 3 times, word for word.
Since it takes many hours to develop a character, many players regard playing RuneScape as a lifestyle, not a side activity. Playing RuneScape can be addicting, and some people play RuneScape more than they do anything else.[24] Jagex has included music, sound effects, and ambient noises throughout Gielinor to enhance gameplay. The music, while often a simple tune,[22], is designed to enhance mood and help to define the underlying cultures of the various locations around Gielinor. Sound effects, such as the "sploosh" heard when a lobster trap is submerged in water, are heard as players train their skills. Ambient noises, such as the cry of seagulls flying over the ocean, occur in logical places. Players can turn the music and sounds off if they prefer.
Once in "Gameplay", again directly below that making up the entirety of the "Lifestyle" section, and a 3rd time lower on the page under "Boring Tasks".
I cordially invite all of you to participate in a discussion about the Criticism section of this article. Stability, NPOV and verifiability are all GA criteria, and in order to reach GA status, we must make a decision and stick to it. -- J.L.W.S. The Special One 03:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

It says that the most trafficked fansite is RuneHQ without any proof at all? Do external links need to cite there sources?-- Joshua090909 04:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Due to the fact that some servers are taken offline and the number of servers often changes, we are only providing an approximation. Currently, the number of servers should simply say "over 130," and the maximum number of players need not be exact. So, please don't change the number of servers unless Jagex actually adds new servers. For RSC, of course, the number can be exact because there's only 2 servers with 1250 people each maximum.

"Players using certain items can transform themselves into piles of stone, eggs, or monkeys, allowing them to avoid negative effects or gaining them access to otherwise unreachable places. Such "morphs" are temporary, and players cannot perform activities other than chatting while morphed."
As far i know, monkey shaped players can cut trees and bunnys/sheeps in cw can attack barricades.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Aure22 ( talk • contribs)

my brother was playing runescape like he has been for 2 years and we saw a player change (1,000k)to (10,004) and back to (1,000k) like he was deleting the 4 and putting k to scam us. is that posable and if so how do we prevent it? flare mage22
I dont think so it did not do that to me and i have been playing for 3 1/2 years now i think it was a scam. Flare Mage22
well then tell me where i can ? mr. rude!! Flare Mage22
well this is also a problem seeing as i am not a paying member. therefor not alowing me to post anything on the forum. A guy trying to get some answers
Some proof that ive added here is in bold with footnotes
RuneScape takes place in the fantasy-themed realm of Gielinor1, which is divided into the Kingdoms of Misthalin, Asgarnia, and Kandarin, the tropical island of Karamja, the Kharidian Desert, the Wilderness, and various other areas.[4] Players can travel throughout the game world on foot, magical teleportation, gnome gliders, fairy rings, and others. Each region offers different types of monsters, materials, and quests to challenge players.
Players are shown on the screen as customizable avatars. They set their own goals and objectives, deciding which of the available activities to pursue. There is no linear path that must be followed.2 Players can engage in combat with other players or with monsters, complete quests, or increase their experience in any of the available skills. Players can also interact with each other through trading, chatting, or playing combative or cooperative mini-games.
On 27 February 2002, Jagex launched an optional service. In order to gain access to a more extensive variety of features, players could choose to pay a monthly fee of £3.20, $5.00 United States dollars, or €8.40 per month when paid by credit card. Players can also pay through online services such as Pay Pal, by check or money order, or with their telephone number by paying additional fees to the payment provider. While not a new version3, because the game still operated under the same game engine, this service significantly changed the focus of the game.
Random events are short interludes that occur during the game, requiring some form of player input. They were introduced to deter players from using automated programs, known as macros or bots, to play the game with no human interaction. Postings in the RuneScape forums by Andrew Gower suggest that random events were designed not only to hinder macroers but to alleviate the monotony that can occur while leveling skills for long periods of time (referred to as grinding)4
Players can submit questions to any NPC in the game. Selected letters are answered in an update called Postbag from The Hedge at the end of each month. This feature of the site started on 26 September 2005 and has since become one of the most accessed pages of the site. From 24 September 2002 through 9 December 2004, players could submit questions to the RuneScape gods; however, the gods will no longer communicate so directly with mortal beings5.
1. This is the Guthix name for RuneScape; there are other names. 2. Some random players are chosen to do special reasons, such as Dark Prior. (Note- the most recent Dark Prior is Lord Revan57 [me]). 3. There are improvements constantly for just paying members. 4. Many people have never heard this term, including myself. 5. In the Zamorak Temple near the Taverly wilderness entrance, if you take Zamorak's wine, he will pour out his fiery wrath upon you. Is that not communication. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.119.251.105 ( talk • contribs) .
This is the one who wrote this article again. Runescape can be known by many different terms, like Geilenor, the Material Realm, and the Anti Warp. The players chosen to do things isnt part of a quest. Its in game fantasy. For example, the Dark Prior, he is a chaos lord. The player is not obligated to do it, BUT, when he finds out, many want to go along with it, in order to mve along the ingame plot. I understand what you meant by the game isnt changed, but it unlocks much, much more when you become a member. So, it sort of changes your veiw of RuneScape as a game. According to the "Gods not communicating" item, people such as the Dark Prior are immortal and can never truly die without being rewarded in the immaterial realm. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.119.251.105 ( talk • contribs) .

I enjoy Runescape very much and I read that somebody said that this article should be relocated to Runescape 2. I disagree. This is a more popular version, so I believe it deserves the title of Runescape.
This is a discussion page, not the actual article. So I am allowed to add a comment (I am discussing Runescape) My name is Deathordoom0 on Runescape. And thank you to whomever deleted Chidro7's topic.
Also I started Runescape just a few days after postbag from the hedge was created (just a fun fact). Runescape4lyfe 01:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Why is Runescape referred to as Gielinor in the article? It certainly isn't known as this within the game and I can only find one or two references to this word in the crumby postbag on the runescape site?-- timdew ( Talk) 08:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Please, when editing articles involving RuneScape, don't use relative terms such as "recent" or "new". These become out-of-date very quickly and require someone else to edit them once those updates have become old news. Since this isn't a RuneScape current events article, I'd say write everything as if it was a regular, completely integrated part of the game, rather than a new update. If you must, put the date in which the update was introduced for the most major updates. It's really getting annoying when I have to edit out the words "recent" or "new" a dozen times.

Too many haters are being nit picky about every runescape related page they can get their hands on. We need to do less for the main RS page and split off to the minor pages as there is no way the main page is getting anywhere near the AfD list. If the subpages can be made problemless, the AfD spree will end. → p00rleno (lvl 77) ← ROCKS C RS 1:37 pm ET November 16 2006
Really, I think it would be best if we could eventually remove all the fancruft and reduce the RuneScape articles to just the main article. Pyrospirit 16:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I think there should be a seperate article about Runescape Classic. I, and I'm sure many other people, would like to know more about it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Codelyoko193 ( talk • contribs)
I think it could warrant an article, and I say this lightly, but ONLY if 5+ people still have active rsc accounts of which to gain info with, AND can find sources for (I know tip.it still has it's rsc page) However, If it were up to me, i would put it at A subpage of this page as to avoid AfDs until the RS/WIKI community says that it is ready. If any of the above don't work out. Everyone working the page will need to use this
AfD | This user has had pages put up for deletion. Most of the time, they were deleted. |
:P
I personally think that either add more information to this page, or make it an entire section, or just make a seperate page. This would only work if at least 5 people with RSC accounts would be willing to contribute to this.

[4] I reverted the edit using popups, and unable to give an explanation with popups, I might as well speak up here. Although the paragraph in question was well written, it was added with no references and questionable information. We could probably use some info, but not all.-- Ed ¿Cómo estás? 00:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to know, which is more popular, RuneScape or Wikipedia? I couldn't find it on the statistics pages. Should the article contain this information? AstroHurricane001 18:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
just fyi, runescape fell to 9 on Special:Mostrevisions to the Nintendo Wii We're only back 125 edits or so, so its not a big difference, but it may be a bad or good thing that the place of RS is falling so vandals dont hit it as much. → p00rleno (lvl 77) ← ROCKS C RS *:05 am Nov 22, 2006
Is it a good idea, or not? It's better now that it's sourced, but is it important enough? - Amarkov blah edits 19:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Some detail on the moderators would be good in the main article (which discusses more than gameplay anyway), providing it is in keeping with the article and doesn't drag on. The community article serves no purpose, RS' community itself is largely teenage boys who play RS, it's self-explanatory.
The amount of text devoted to moderators in the community article is out-of-proportion with their actual impact on gameplay. It's something of an RS foible that so many players obsess over them, but again we're talking a large crowd of teenage boys - anything 'different' or with even the faintest whiff of authority is pored over fixatedly. There are 3 moderator types. Jagex staff members? What do they do? That's the info needed. That p-mods have their own forum etc. etc. is no more relevant to those wanting info on RS than the contents of the average Tesco worker's lunch box is to those who want info on Tesco. 86.142.194.72 15:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
The following lines are in the article 3 times, word for word.
Since it takes many hours to develop a character, many players regard playing RuneScape as a lifestyle, not a side activity. Playing RuneScape can be addicting, and some people play RuneScape more than they do anything else.[24] Jagex has included music, sound effects, and ambient noises throughout Gielinor to enhance gameplay. The music, while often a simple tune,[22], is designed to enhance mood and help to define the underlying cultures of the various locations around Gielinor. Sound effects, such as the "sploosh" heard when a lobster trap is submerged in water, are heard as players train their skills. Ambient noises, such as the cry of seagulls flying over the ocean, occur in logical places. Players can turn the music and sounds off if they prefer.
Once in "Gameplay", again directly below that making up the entirety of the "Lifestyle" section, and a 3rd time lower on the page under "Boring Tasks".
I cordially invite all of you to participate in a discussion about the Criticism section of this article. Stability, NPOV and verifiability are all GA criteria, and in order to reach GA status, we must make a decision and stick to it. -- J.L.W.S. The Special One 03:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The rs would select page now says things like US East 3 as server location. That could make locations a pain if it becomes even more ambiguous. Keep your eyes peeled... p00rleno 00:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC) PS I was bored of typing timestamps so I just used the standard sig this time.
In this it says they were created to stop "automated programs"?
It was created to stop java based G.U.I.s that use scripts made by the users, to click on specific locations of the window which has runescape located somewhere within the window , if you want to get technical. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joshua090909 ( talk • contribs) .
It says that the most trafficked fansite is RuneHQ without any proof at all? Do external links need to cite there sources?-- Joshua090909 04:26, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Due to the fact that some servers are taken offline and the number of servers often changes, we are only providing an approximation. Currently, the number of servers should simply say "over 130," and the maximum number of players need not be exact. So, please don't change the number of servers unless Jagex actually adds new servers. For RSC, of course, the number can be exact because there's only 2 servers with 1250 people each maximum.
