Talk:Summoning

Is it worth me adding a list on what creatures you can summon? So far there are two shown via the image icons on the main page: wolpertinger and spirit wolf. Mr. Garrison 12:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * They haven't said that those will necessarily be released. Speculation doesn't belong in articles. Skill 19:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

A Forum Mod stated that Wolpertingers and Spirit Wolves are definitely going to be Summonable. He also said Dreadfowls will be too. 15:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
Should this page be deleted? It seems that whenever there is an article about something that will happen in the future or be released in the future, it gets deleted with the deletion caption being something like "wait, not out yet" (Some examples are 2007 Hallowe'en event, Clan war, Grand Exchange (pages might only be able to be seen by admins)). What would make this different? 23:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Seeing as how Jagex has actually released content (Development Diaries, wallpapers, etc) for this upcoming skill, I think the article is at least potentially worth keeping around. As it's only about a month or month-and-a-half until the skill is released and this article evolves anyway, I don't think it matters too much right now whether it exists or not, so why bother deleting it? --Nightforge 23:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm just trying to say that if consistency with deletion is going to be achieved, this oughta' be deleted. 04:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And by the time that's resolved, it'll probably be time to create the page anyway. Aside from that, though I agree with what you're saying, there's nothing in the Deletion Policy about a case like this, and the closest case I can find being #1 and #2 here. --Nightforge 04:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hhmmm... Criteria number 1 in RS:NIP says that things like upcoming events and mini-games, like that clan wars mini-game, are allowed to be created. Now that I've seen this, I change my point of view. 04:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

summining may be members only
I think that after all this hype and talk it would be the worst thing you could do to the F2P players if this were members only. The only hope for F2P summoning lies in the fact that summoning increases your combat lvl. Since F2P can go to lvl 126 it seems extremely probable that we will be able to go to lvl 138 as well (which for that we will need summoning).

I really hope that in the dev diary 4 for summoning they will tell us that it will be open for all players.

It will in all likelyhood be members only. The fact that F2P got some new updates just recently, the graphical limitations that they seek to curb and the fact that a new quest (something that will never be given in F2)) will serve as a tutorial indicate this.  Any new skill or quest for F2Pers would probably arrive with the fabled RS3.--172.135.76.125 18:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

well thank you for crushing our hopes. or at least attempting to do so. lol


 * Sorry for crushing your hopes, but in the first Development Diary, JaGEx stated that Summoning will indeed be Members only, but i dont think someone that is level 126 will stay in F2P, im also a free player so i also got desillusioned.  19:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Where did they state Summoning will be Members-only? I've read through the diary again and it said nothing about that. Glitzville 13:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm a member so I don't care, but if it was members only, then Summoning would be the first members-only combat skill. Zeldafanjtl 22:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not impossible for it to be F2P, but that means they would have to open up Taverley to F2Pers, too, which I doubt will happen, owing to the fact that there is no physical boundary separating Taverley to the rest of the members world, like the members' gate. 72.240.163.23 10:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Move to new page upon release
Upon the release of summoning should we move all the content on this page to something such as, Speculation before the release of summoning? Or anything else. Whiplash 19:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable. And merry Christmas. =D
 * We should just keep the current content on the History section which is now the only section of the article. Xammer 17:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Monday
This skill is going to be out Monday January 7, 2008. I don't have a source I can list, but I do have one, and it's pretty much common sense. It's speculation, I guess, which is why it's here and not on the article. But still. Monday. 72.240.163.23 14:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The Development Diary will almost definitely be released on Thursday the 10th (don't shoot me if I'm wrong) because the third one said 3 weeks til the development diary, and they were exact when they said two weeks until the wallpaper. The first development diary says these diaries are in the run up to the release of summoning, so I'm putting my money on the 11th or possibly Monday 14th.--Andy mci 22:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Nessisary Edits
Since someone had decided to lock the article unjustly and I do not have an account (Nor do I plan to get one), I request the following edits to be made. --- Change the last sentence of the first paragraph to "According to Development Diary 3, The skill will be released approximately the second week of January" as I’m certain it did not mean literally 3 weeks after its release and my statement is open-ended and non-speculation. Change all the members-only speculation and remove the section and delete the photos and add in the sentence, "Paul Gower has confirmed that Summoning will be member's only." Change "Skill Icon" To "Mysterious Icon," and include that it is speculation that it is the skill Icon. Also delete the interface as it is not cannon. Delete the "KB Leak" sentence as the picture #1: includes the wrong skill name, and #2: does not feature the commas or XP Until next level ans is obviously a fake. Delete the penguin egg speculation in Dev Diary 2 section as it is not been confirmed by Jagex and players have searched for it and there is no SOLID evidence that it is the supposed "Penguin egg." Then re-word the entire section into a paragraph. Enter a "BTS Jan 2008" section with the information provided in the BTS, right before Wallpaper 3. Even though it would not work chronologically of release, move the pet shop underneath Dev Diary 4, as a way too keep the news and in-game separate and keep that section clean. Finally, unlock the article. One person’s action does not constitute a lock. The members are doing more harm to the article than the anonymous are. Just because someone wrote in a profane word does not mean that the article is a hot-spot for taggers. Thanks! 70.109.13.69 20:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
