Hey man, welcome to the RuneScape Wiki. I look forward to your contributions here.--Richard 20:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for the warm welcome. :) --Ixfd64 20:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Hey its me from runescape. Jcantrell 01:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Great job
Excellent work on the popular culture stuff man. I was wondering if it's OK to use that stuff on the main page in like a Did you know? thing, like on the RuneScape portal on Wikipedia.--Richard 21:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure, that sounds great! --Ixfd64 22:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Apologies
Sorry if I disturbed you last night while reverting that vandalizer's attack. He attakced your culture article, so I reverted yours. Sorry if any trouble was caused. Huanghe63 talk 04:28, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, your help is appreciated! --Ixfd64 07:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, just a tip
It's usually better to reply to someone on their own talk page, with a header that's the same as the subject on your page, but with a "Re: " before it. Most people can't be bothered to check everyone else's talk pages for messages meant for themselves. =) Oddlyoko 23:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Very old game updates
Where did you find the articles for those 3 updates you added? The game updates at RuneScape.com end at Members' quests (23-Jul-2002). -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  17:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, Jagex did not keep any news items prior to July 23rd, 2002. To make matters worse, Jagex has asked Alexa Internet not to archive the RuneScape site. The Rune Tips news archive contains some official news items prior to July 23rd, 2002. However, Rune Tips was often inactive in the early days, so it does not have every news item. --Ixfd64 21:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

¡Qué interesante!
Where do you discover such interesting tidbits as this?


 * Well, I've played RuneScape since February 2001. :) --Ixfd64 04:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Quest guide stubs
I'm not sure it's a good idea just to make stubs of quest articles. Leaving them as redlinks shows us they are incomplete - if they're blue we might think they're done and ignore them when looking for a quest guide to write. I know I would. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 21:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmm, that's a good point. Also, would it be a good idea to indicate any imcomplete guides on the quests article? --Ixfd64 21:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

popular culture page
This is good =)

I think the pyramid in desert treasure is largely based on The Mummy series of films.

Ape atoll and the monkey madness quests have echoes of Planet of the apes. I can't remember any specific references though.

HP Lovecraft referenced in Slug Menace - talk to the fishing shop guy. Some notes in Witchaven about it.

One of the songs Mind over Matter is a popular phrase used often in philosophy.It was popularlised in the 1960's, 1970's.

Hi again lol
Hey its me, Jcantrell from runescape.

Wow...
Most of these are not even Popular Culture references.

"Players may see a wandering cat named Bob, who gives the text "The Jagex cat" upon examination. A Jagex staff member has stated that Bob is based on a real cat in the Jagex office. In A Tail of Two Cats, the player gets to interact with Bob."???


 * Not everything mentioned on that page is a popular culture reference. Anyways, I've made it less confusing. --Ixfd64 18:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

New pages: Remember
Two things:
 * 1) English spelling (armour not armor)
 * 2) Categorise! Category:Bestiary for those Barrows Brothers stubs. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  22:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

More references

 * The examine description of a Jackal is "He has had his day..". This is obviously a reference to Day of the Jackal

I'm liking it. Is this developing into a full RSWiki article? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 21:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Cool stuff. I've done some analysis on KQ trips (done 200 trips without a drop). I'll add to the article, delete or ammend if you dont like it. --Miw 09:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Added some text, but lacks links to statistics. Interesting questions:
 * what is a good estimator for (rare) drops? How many kills does one need to say that the odds of getting a particular drop is 1 in 100?
 * I have seen various debates on woodcutting speed. What (if any) is the relationship between wc speed and wc levels? It would be nice to have a statistically solid design of an experiment.
 * How can one obtain a decent average hit estimate from a long sequence of monster kills. What is the impact of the last hit (limited by the remaining hitpoints of the opponent) which introduces a form of non-linearity into the analysis.
 * Is it possible to discover more on the random generator used in the game? There seems to be a tendency of clustering, that is manifest in several drop lists. This could be some kind of imagination, or it could be a side effect of the random generator that drives so many aspects of the game.
 * Some player state that there is some type of starting up penalty. As they stay longer with a particular activity they see their results improving. How can they verify such a hypothesis?

I'll help a bit! 06:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Did you hear about the four month old girl who died from neglect due to her parents playing World of Warcraft? Now that's addiction. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  08:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If you haven't... [[image:Woodcuttingimg.PNG]]HYEN- ASTE 08:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

 * ROFL!!!! No I really was Rolling on the floor laughing!!!!!!! This is soooooo funny, My mom asked what was going on and I said I wanted to coppy this to word and save so I could forward this through e-mail to all of my friends or print it!!!01:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Who even has $21,474,836.47?!! In life that would be so much money while if you real world item trade for that amount of coins, it would only be about $9,000!! Even though I don't real world item trade, I know the prices because I clicked on a google add.02:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm addicted to the chron homies. Marijuana. I tried it in high school and got hooked. 07:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Here's a pop culture reference for ya
Use a herring (cooked/uncooked on any tree and you get the message "This is not the strongest tree in the forest" or somethin like that. That's a Monty Python; Holy Grail; Knights Who Say Ni reference. 07:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Broken links
Hello, one of the projects that a few members of the wiki have recently taken up includes tackling Wanted Pages to try to remove red links that are not article names. It seems that either your userpage or talk page have links to articles that no longer exist. I’m sending this message to ask you to remove these red links for your pages, or in 2-3 days I will do it myself. If for some reason you would like to keep the links (and the only case I could see of this is if you are trying to retrieve a forum thread that has been deleted, and have not yet been in contact with Hyenaste) then please leave me a message on my talk page as soon as possible so that I know not to remove these links. If you are unsure of what links your page may include, again please leave a message on my talk page. This is what I plan to do:


 * Replace any forum links with link text you had previously  or, if its just a link to a forum I will replace it with Forum: old forum name
 * If your page includes a link to a signature that does not exist (most likely Total Rune’s) I will replace the bad link with User name
 * Links to fake items will be replaced simply with the item name
 * Links to non-existant images will be removed completely
 * Links to non-existant user subpages will most likely be replaced with Subpage name

Thank you for your cooperation, and please leave any questions on my talk page. Christine Talk 15:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
