There are more than 10 million active free accounts on Runescape. I changed this number to reflect the true amount of active freeplayer accounts.

Like all online games there is always the nerd that tries to hack it. why would they hack it? they must be really dumb to think they are cool because they hacked some online game. now in days we have sweatshops to make the runescape money for us to buy. yes some of us BUY the money. and for what? to be banned the next day for realworld trading?
we buy hacks we hack some online game we get banned
to sum it all up its a waste of money so what if more than one thrid the 135m players are made by people working in sweat shops. it was their choice to do it
you might be thinking "omg who made this ugly page? this page is going to get deleted since we can't talk about this here hahaha!"
jagex has even tried to prevent this problem
trade limit
random events
anti hacking program
more
some accounts are made to insult/bully other players you can see them every where asking for money and following you
this has made people quit and their account is still there being counted as one of those 135mill that number is clearly not correct if they made a counter that counts how many active acounts are there but there will always be the little noob who makes more people quit

Yeah, I know, I'm affiliated with the website in question but I must point this out.
There is a new RuneScape Fansite growing, RuneScapez, they're planning to open up MechScapez and FunOrbz soon aswell. This site doesn't have a massive member base, however recently it's been growing fast. It's certainly within the top five RuneScape fansites out there. I'm not asking for it to be added to the link section, however I'm just advising you to keep an eye on it, it might be worth adding in future.
Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by RuneScapez ( talk • contribs) 14:12, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay, might be worth nailing this one down so that we have an official concensious. Can't find a reference to how many links there should be so, given the number of large RS sites, I suggest that we put in the 5 sites with the highest Alexa.com rank.
If you agree then say so below If you think it should be more or less sites, or suggest a different selection process, then say so below If you think its a bad idea and we don't need a guideline then say so below
Whatever the majority view is after a couple of weeks I'll put up at the top of the page.

I've just thought of an interesting section to possibly add to the RuneScape page, Jagex's history of fansites and their opinion on them. By this I mean how Jagex have reacted to fansites and how they interact with them, there has been a long lasting hostile atmosphere between Jagex and fansites, I believe this should be published. I'd be happy to contribute to this new section if it is accepted. :) RuneScapez ( talk) 19:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I think as long as its about RS fansites only then it'll be fine as how an MMO's community is handled is relevent to it as a product. Perhapse split it between this and the Jagex article, have a smallish section in this article and then put in a link to a larger version on the Jagex page, with FunOrb having a couple of communities and MechScape coming at some point I think it would be a good long term solution. Reliable Sources will be a problem, as all of these sites fall under WP:SelfPub but as long as you make it clear that your reporting what they have been saying, rather than claiming it to be the case, then it should be okay. I'm more than happy to assume good faith in RuneScapez and I don't think WP:COI will become and issue. The only thing that I see as being problematic would be Notability, would people be okay with references only being acceptable if they came from the top 10 alexa ranked fansites? (enough scope for different views/range of experiences but a clear cutoff line for notability in the area being discussed).

I notice that this article is begining to become overrun with fancruft. Information such as "Players can loop a song, adjust the volumes of the music, sound effects, and ambient noises independently of each other" most likely will not interest people who do not play RuneScape.

I am from Chinese Wikipedia. There is an argument about whether we need to ask for agreement to get the screenshot of RuneScape and post on Chinese Wikipedia, due to this sentence, "In all cases we retain copyright ownership and the right of approval in advance of you using any copyright material. We also retain the right to request anyone to remove the material."
When I was editing the article of RuneScape in Chinese Wiki, I've uploaded many picturer/animation from here. However, when I screenshot a game photo myself, the administrator has put "images for deletion" because of copyright by Jagex. My picture screenshot is about "Holiday Event".
So, is that true?

if you go here
en:image:Runescapehd_skills-barbarian_fishing-withoutaharpoon.gif
and you look at the "Non-free use media rationale for RuneScape" part of the page it shows you a table or template that you fill in when uploading or changing the picture.
however if you click edit in the summary section of the link i gave, and you copy the table, and you add to or translate some of the words, you will add the copyright info and then you can get the image removed from the "images for deletion"
does that help?

FYI (kosten = cost) (mitglied = membership) Since the costs of playing runescape are well described I think this page can be deleted. .02 -- Robertsmom0 ( talk) 22:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't think the current animations on this article represent RuneScape as a whole. Almost all of them show a single player in the same outfit, and the combat one shows four identical players. I think new animations should be added showing various players in different outfits and armor. 66.189.89.112 ( talk) 02:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Don't we know it. She's posted her character's image all over RuneScape Wiki, aswell. However, if you want new animations showing different players in combat, make one and replace the animations that are already there. -- LordHeinz ( talk) 05:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Agree
they need to be changed

There are more than 10 million active free accounts on Runescape. I changed this number to reflect the true amount of active freeplayer accounts. Also, I added the fact that there are over 135 million accounts created today. I think this will better inform the people reading this article to how many players there are. Also, one quick question :Who is the user in the animations? The Beatles Fan ( talk) 20:11, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
I like the work she's done, but don't all of Tarikochi's ChikoritaPro images make the reader think that RuneScape allows only one player appearance? Especially this one. Shouldn't we have more variety? C Teng [talk] 23:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Like all online games there is always the nerd that tries to hack it. why would they hack it? they must be really dumb to think they are cool because they hacked some online game. now in days we have sweatshops to make the runescape money for us to buy. yes some of us BUY the money. and for what? to be banned the next day for realworld trading?
we buy hacks we hack some online game we get banned
to sum it all up its a waste of money so what if more than one thrid the 135m players are made by people working in sweat shops. it was their choice to do it
you might be thinking "omg who made this ugly page? this page is going to get deleted since we can't talk about this here hahaha!"
jagex has even tried to prevent this problem
trade limit
random events
anti hacking program
more
some accounts are made to insult/bully other players you can see them every where asking for money and following you
this has made people quit and their account is still there being counted as one of those 135mill that number is clearly not correct if they made a counter that counts how many active acounts are there but there will always be the little noob who makes more people quit
I noticed that one of the items on the list of things to do was to create a new image for moderator identification. I created this one: Image:Runescape_Moderator_Identification.png. I hope that someone that can edit this article can use this image. Murgatroid99 ( talk) 00:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I know, I'm affiliated with the website in question but I must point this out.
There is a new RuneScape Fansite growing, RuneScapez, they're planning to open up MechScapez and FunOrbz soon aswell. This site doesn't have a massive member base, however recently it's been growing fast. It's certainly within the top five RuneScape fansites out there. I'm not asking for it to be added to the link section, however I'm just advising you to keep an eye on it, it might be worth adding in future.
Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by RuneScapez ( talk • contribs) 14:12, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay, might be worth nailing this one down so that we have an official concensious. Can't find a reference to how many links there should be so, given the number of large RS sites, I suggest that we put in the 5 sites with the highest Alexa.com rank.
If you agree then say so below If you think it should be more or less sites, or suggest a different selection process, then say so below If you think its a bad idea and we don't need a guideline then say so below
Whatever the majority view is after a couple of weeks I'll put up at the top of the page.

I've just thought of an interesting section to possibly add to the RuneScape page, Jagex's history of fansites and their opinion on them. By this I mean how Jagex have reacted to fansites and how they interact with them, there has been a long lasting hostile atmosphere between Jagex and fansites, I believe this should be published. I'd be happy to contribute to this new section if it is accepted. :) RuneScapez ( talk) 19:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I think as long as its about RS fansites only then it'll be fine as how an MMO's community is handled is relevent to it as a product. Perhapse split it between this and the Jagex article, have a smallish section in this article and then put in a link to a larger version on the Jagex page, with FunOrb having a couple of communities and MechScape coming at some point I think it would be a good long term solution. Reliable Sources will be a problem, as all of these sites fall under WP:SelfPub but as long as you make it clear that your reporting what they have been saying, rather than claiming it to be the case, then it should be okay. I'm more than happy to assume good faith in RuneScapez and I don't think WP:COI will become and issue. The only thing that I see as being problematic would be Notability, would people be okay with references only being acceptable if they came from the top 10 alexa ranked fansites? (enough scope for different views/range of experiences but a clear cutoff line for notability in the area being discussed). Just some thoughts, use or don't use as you deem fit FlashNerdX ( talk) 14:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I've written the section on the Chat System. I don't know if it's ok as it's my first Wikipedia article, however I'm quite sure it's right. Any feedback would be appreciated. :) RuneScapez ( talk) 18:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
How do we know or where did we find out about the under 12 chat limit?
Just asking because it should really have a citation and I cant find a reason on the RS site.

Only thing i could suggest is clarifying the "If a player is found to have used inappropriate language in the game" bit to make it clear that its a gold crown doing the muting etc. Other than that - real good addition imo :-) FlashNerdX ( talk) 13:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I notice that this article is begining to become overrun with fancruft. Information such as "Players can loop a song, adjust the volumes of the music, sound effects, and ambient noises independently of each other" most likely will not interest people who do not play RuneScape. This probably should be cleaned up before the next good article nomination. Exarion ( talk) 00:16, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I am from Chinese Wikipedia. There is an argument about whether we need to ask for agreement to get the screenshot of RuneScape and post on Chinese Wikipedia, due to this sentence, "In all cases we retain copyright ownership and the right of approval in advance of you using any copyright material. We also retain the right to request anyone to remove the material."
When I was editing the article of RuneScape in Chinese Wiki, I've uploaded many picturer/animation from here. However, when I screenshot a game photo myself, the administrator has put "images for deletion" because of copyright by Jagex. My picture screenshot is about "Holiday Event".
So, is that true?
Article: zh:RuneScape Image: zh:Image:Halloween2008rs.jpg -- Sap00acm ( talk) 11:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
if you have a template with all the copyright info in it, everything should be okay to use the image. rdunn 11:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand. What template and how to get it?-- Sap00acm ( talk) 13:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
if you go here
en:image:Runescapehd_skills-barbarian_fishing-withoutaharpoon.gif
and you look at the "Non-free use media rationale for RuneScape" part of the page it shows you a table or template that you fill in when uploading or changing the picture.
however if you click edit in the summary section of the link i gave, and you copy the table, and you add to or translate some of the words, you will add the copyright info and then you can get the image removed from the "images for deletion"
does that help?

also you can go to any other runescape image on the Chinese wiki and copy and change a table from there which may be a more simple thing to do rdunn 15:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
