My Leveled-Up Christmas List

What would you like for Christmas?  I know what I would like, and if you're interested you can read it here.

Passing the Torch

Veteran players are always resistant to change, but maybe they should be more open.  Read more here.

Jagex's Bonus XP Weekend

Jagex recently hosted a Bonus XP Weekend.  I summarize my thoughts on it here.

Halloween Story

I've written a Halloween Story about the kind of things that really happen in the Editorial Office over at Tip.It ;).  You can read it here.  Enjoy!

More Pmods

Following Jagex's announcement (see the link for the source), I have written an article on Jagex's plans for thousands of new Player Moderators.  You can read it here.

Jagex Redeeming Itself

Can Jagex redeem itself for recent events?  Read more in my Tip.It Editorial here.

Holiday Events

But it's September.  Is that too early for holiday events?  Nope!  Check here to see my editorial on them.

Solicitation in RuneScape...again

Things to know about your clan leader...

What should you know about your clan leader?  Click here to find out!

Why aren't people nice?

Why aren't people nice on RuneScape?  Here I offer some theory.

Clan support...gone?

As you may know, Mod Timbo is the sole curator of the clan support department.  Reading the writing on the wall, it is not difficult to ascertain that he is leaving that role.  You need only know where to look.  I can tell you this concerns matters far deeper than the Clan Cup.  I'm sure the Clan Cup will be passed on and it will not end, but this is really only the tip of the iceberg.

So what can we do about it?  Write a letter to Jagex.  A physical letter, not an email.  Tell them of your concern that clan support needs a dedicated Jagex Moderator, not a general CM team fallback.  Make it your own words.  I'll gladly proofread any letters.  Please send them to me here.  The letter to Jagex should be addressed to:

Jagex Ltd.
St. John's Innovation Centre
Cowley Road
Cambridge
CB4 0WS
United Kingdom

It is a worthwhile use of postage.  Thank you.

P.S. The answer was: money.  Although it initially makes people happy ("at dawn"), they eventually discover too late that money is not everything, and resent it by dusk.  And of course, money is all around you.

Casual but active players...

Do you ever feel a bit alone?  Check out my article here.

Value of XP

I have written this time on the value of experience on Tip.It.  You can have a look here.

Article on Tip.It (may be disturbing)

Today Rune Tips published an article of mine on a far less lighthearted issue than most.  I went "undercover" to investigate the behavior of people on world 1 toward younger adolescents.  It is one hundred percent true, but it may be disturbing-you can read it here.

Another Article for Tip.It

This week, I wrote for Tip.It highlighting some of the issues with the RuneScape Rules and asking for clarification.  The article can be read here.

First article as an author on Tip.It!

This week saw the publication of my first article as an author at Tip.It!  It concerns a possible reason why players are discontented with Jagex beyond F2P or P2P content.  It can be read here.  Enjoy!
