Runeology

[22:07] <kastermester> we're not so much interested in all the stuff all the other sites cover
[22:07] <kastermester> there's no point in trying to recreate tip.it, runehq.com, zybez, etc
[22:08] <kastermester> instead of writing down all those hard boring facts you can read everywhere... we'd like it to be... something more out of the ordinary
[22:08] <kastermester> like... what would possibly be the best inventory setup for barrows, and more importantly WHY?
[22:08] <kastermester> Like come up with some real proof, some real tests showing the truth of the statements
[22:08] <kastermester> sort of a bit more.. science like
[22:09] <kastermester> and for other things... well go beyond what you are able to simply read out of everything
[22:09] <kastermester> like perhaps... write a guide of how to solve runescape quests without guides
[22:09] <kastermester> lets say jagex might have a certain humour they like to use alot, or something...
[22:09] <kastermester> something about the game that is not found everywhere, cause honestly, there is no point in recreating it
[22:10] <Flaminmoose> yeh, theres already too many fansites like runehq and those others
[22:10] <kastermester> besides that of course we need to see how we can get a community built up... how to get people interested, and how to make sure we attract the right kinds of persons

[22:16] <Sean> maybe do something like rsbandb used to do
[22:16] <Sean> and what jagex do
[22:16] <Sean> a staff blog
[22:17] <Sean> with changes, developments, whats going on in the staff etc

[22:18] <chemie> maybe an admin forum with as little stuff in as possible

[22:39] <lisa> the level of maturity is most important to me
[22:48] <lisa> i have something. i think we should be in a no-bullshit community. no being-political-correct. honesty, maturity, respect ppls wishes. we need to play rs and have fun, and do w/e we feel like you know? no drama's

I would love to do some more in dept research of different aspects of runescape. Like... not do all the hardcore facts that can all be plotted into a database and woohoo! you have research. That has been done already and we should be thankful of that! Cause that means that we can (ab)use those databases for our hopefully more extensive research wink.gif

As an idea of an article I was thinking of an article talking about how to organise your PoH in the best way to allow you to easily do activities such as: barrowing, praying, normal tellying and getting around, house parties and etc etc. The article cannot provide any "right" answer, but it can bring up many valid points and leave stuff to think about - which is what I would like to see: Articles that give no definite answer but gives stuff to think about.

I thought it would be nice to make an Introduction Forum, where we could all make a post and tell a little something about ourselves.

We could have :

Ask an expert
Question and answer section
Suggest a project/ research area
Research topics, current
Published research
Guides (?)
Chat
Volunteer section, people willing to test/ collect data etc
Future stuff, guess what Jagex are going to do next.

I would like it not to be and us and them style forum, but more organic, in the style of Wikipedia. So people can add their own research too and we validate the info.
