hitpoints is now health points

there was a rect change to the game, wherehitpoints are now called health points, and theres 10x as many health points as hitpoints. and the skill itself is now called constitution. i would have changed this, but i dont have a wiki account, so i cant edit the page. 69.115.204.217 (talk) 20:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they're called "life points". However, "hitpoints" or "health points" will be sufficient. Also, the article is semi-protected so you can't edit it anonymously. Sorry about that. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:55, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
yes, i know that. thats why i posted this here rather then fixing it myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.204.217 (talk) 22:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we're already using "health points", which should be sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Any more is probably unnecessary. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 08:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Jurassicpark787, 11 April 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} who ever can make a change, i have noticed something. after it says 10 million people active someone should really put specificly(though 165 million has registered.) cause i know for sure they have that many people registered.

Until we have a source for this, there is not a need to change the article. Please let us know when you have a good source, and we will make the change.

Agreed. No need to change it. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 09:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I found something on the Coporate site which nearly implies RuneScape has had ~150 million unique players (it says for all Jagex games but Its a safe bet if you've played one, you've played RuneScape) http://www.jagex.com/corporate/Parents_Guide/parents_guide.ws 70.245.232.132 (talk) 04:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That estimate would also include those who've played FunOrb, and possibly War of Legends, but not necessarily RuneScape. We're not going to assume they all play or have played RuneScape, so no, that's not a good estimate. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 09:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We're getting a number of requests like this at present. Perhaps some sort of notice is in order? In any case, this won't happen. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 21:33, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Volderanger, 28 April 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} I want to hyperlink the words "bug abuse" and "macroing". Thank you for your consideration. Volderanger (talk) 14:43, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I can't see any reason to link those terms. The first is covered by "software bug", and the second is a term explained in the article. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 16:09, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Various questions

Is this official name now for Runescape since the release of Dungeoneering? And is this also the official release date of a new game such as Rs2 or Rs HD? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.154.3.209 (talk) 22:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quite simply, no. Dungeoneering is a skill introduced to RS over 2 weeks ago. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Runescape is now abbreviated to RsDod meaning Runescape Dungeons of Daemonheim like they did on their front page.[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.154.3.209 (talk) 22:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't. Look 1 section up and you'll see why. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've put all your comments in one section to save space. Please realise that this is not a forum; any more comments that are not about the article will be removed.

  • Players will not be added to the article since they are not notable in the real world. See this for more.
  • Jagex support that event because they're organising it.

Again, make sure your future questions are about this article. Other questions should go to the RS official forums. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC) I agree, make sure that you read the artical before you give any ideas because they may be on the page already. GotMoney999 (talk) 22:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request from GotMoney999

Put something about the Seasonal Events as they are very important in the game of Runescape and are just like Quests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GotMoney999 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We already cover holiday events in general, so at this point, I'm going to say no. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:44, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Exchange/ Economy

Talk about how the Grand Exchange works such as if people buy items on max price, the market price will rise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GotMoney999 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is it with all the edits right now?? In any case, isn't this enough (noting that prices of trades affect market price)? 1ForTheMoney (talk) 22:47, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure that you read the artical before you give any ideas because they may be on the page already GotMoney999 (talk) 22:59, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that wasn't directed at me. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 23:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, no i wasn't being specific, I was directing it to the "editor" or request person for this article. Sorry for the inconvenience. 99.154.0.165 (talk) 23:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that i find these requests annoying or stupid. I just don't expect to receive lots of them in a short space of time, and not late at night, when I get rather tetchy. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 23:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your help in making the article of Runescape better for the community. GotMoney999 (talk) 23:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing...--Unionhawk Talk E-mail 16:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now: Unless I'm counting wrong, I only count 24 skills including Dungeoneering... I'll leave it up, and if somebody wants to look and count (I'm at school right now, so I can't look it up) that would be awesome.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail 17:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, definitely 25. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 18:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I knew I was probably missing something...--Unionhawk Talk E-mail 18:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DirectX update request

Runescape HD mode now supports DirectX rendering. I edited the article to include it under the sub-section 'graphics and sound', and would welcome any improvement ideas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Usbdriver (talk • contribs) 13:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I've removed it again since it went into lots of detail which isn't always a good thing. Most of one paragraph dedicated to being able to press buttons and change graphics settings isn't much use. Besides, I'd already made an edit to acknowledge the update.
On a related point, I've being thinking that information on the more technical aspects of the graphics (the RuneTek 5 engine, the OpenGL/DirectX rendering, SD rendering using Windows, etc) can be combined into one paragraph. Doing that would gather related points and help to balance the paragraph length. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 16:13, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

runescape is a fake economy

telling people what they can and can't sell, who to sell to, and for how much. typical communism. 97.118.32.250 (talk) 18:31, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
