News from 18.2.2001 - 13.4.2001
| 13.4.2001 No updating in near future |
Okey, I have missed couple of updates in RuneScape, so here thay are:
11th-April - Asgarnia map online
The updated world map is now online, and I've labelled all the key locations in Asgarnia, so you can now find you way around with getting lost!10th-April - Server fixed + message boards online
I have now fixed the majority of the problems with the new server. All the major problems are now sorted, and I'm now working on a few less critical issues. I'm also going to update the world-map as soon as possible so you can find your way around Asgarnia.More good news is that I have just put the message boards back-online. I have taken the chance to redesign and improve them, so I hope you like the new design!
7th-April - Server problems
We seem to be having a few server problems at the moment. This is due to the large amount of new code we added to the game yesterday. I'm working on fixing it though, so please be patient, and I'll get everything running smoothly as soon as possible.The good news is that I think I have just resolved the server down-time issues, so hopefully the server won't go offline completely anymore. There is still an issue with certain players having problems when more than 1024 people play at once, this is only a problem at peak times and I expect to fix it on Sunday evening.
Also I expect to get the message boards, current-players, and password-emailing features working again on Monday. These have just been temporarily disabled whilst I get the new server code working properly.
6th-April - Massive update!
Asgarnia is online! and includes:
- Ice mountain monastery with healing monks
- dwarven mine
- goblin village
- evil red monks
- black knight castle
- City of Falador
- White knights castle
- chainmail shop
- mace shop
- port Sarim
- food shop
- battle axe shop
- ice giants dungeon
We also have 4 new quests!
dorics quest - fetch Doric some materials for making amulets spy quest - go on a spying mission for the white knights witches potion quest - fetch the ingredients for an evil witches brew sword quest - help a squire recover his knights lost sword In addition to this there is a new friends system, and new privacy features! Have fun!
There wont be any updating on near future. I'm
tired of my slow computer and I wont make this site before we get
a new computer. This site wont be shut down or anything like
that, only that there wont be any updating. I also removed the
people section from this site, because I though it was a very
stupid idea after all. Next when I get the better computer, I
will start to work on with Monsters section. I will get better
boards and maybe better counters and stuff like that, because
Bravenet seems to crash quiet often. BTW, I updated the map from
RuneScape homepage. The Contest is removed, baucause I didn't
gain any entries, maybe noone had the skill
.
| 6.4.2001 Spells section ready |
Well I did make the spell section readt for
this date. Beginner's guide isn't ready yet, even though it is
already on the frame. Nothing else has happenes on this site.
Beginner's guide will be soon ready and then I will make smithing
guide. So that's all for now. I know that some spells have wrong
descriptions, but that's just because I didn't have enough time
to do them
.
| 4.4.2001 First contest |
The first contest on this web site is on. See
the main page for closer details. I'm also working on new spells
guide (or actually list/book) and beginners guide. Click here to
see a prewiew version for Spell book or
Beginner's guide. Don't complain on
either of them because they aren't ready. And yes I know, the
spell book looks a bit weird, but that's the best I can make and
making that look took more than 2,5h. And yes, it is taken from
IWD
. By the
way, these daily updates aren't coming regular. I just had some
random time to make these small updates.
| 3.4.2001 Play now is back |
Today RuneScape Hall was just little updated
and "Play now" link is back online (it was away,
because not until now I noticed my stupid little type error
). Biggest update
today was the frame links. Added couple of codes to make it look
better and more professional (thanks to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/).
There was still a note that the script is only working on IE, so
I quess I have to make another frame for netscape user. Also
links page were changed with 1 new clan link: The Yvnito Clan: http://nickramaekers.homestead.com/theclan.html
and also change of Black knights clan link: http://thebk.cjb.net. Also
gongrats for Black knights web master, because his site was the
first with higher rating than Sabre clan site. You should expect
Beginner's guide this week to come here.
Here I'd like to share my thoughts for this
time only and never again (in couple of days
): When you come to
think of it. This has excellent design and look. I hardly even
understant HTML code and the best thing I can do by plain coding
is making a simple link
. Everyday I learn something new or find something
good looking. It's just my style to find out how were they done.
Mostly I use IE's ability to see source code. That way I have
gained many advances and learnt much (and have took many codes
). I would call this
site somthing like master use of editors. I have combinded the
use of three different HTML editors and couple of script sites.
Today it is great, when you don't even have to know HTML to make
good site. Just need some idea and effort to do it.
| 2.4.2001 Daily updating |
Nothing special has happened in this site today. I just had some time, so I did lots of minor adjustments to this site. Now you can (if you are using IE) set this as home page or bookmark this page from the main page. BTW it looks like that the set as home links doesn't work, but for some odd reason, it doesn't change the cursor as a link cursor, but just click it, then it should work. Also the contact link moved to upper category and the game category has now small pictures with the links, to make it look better. Maybe the biggest update was the re-write of about page. Now there is more info generally about RuneScape and this site. I have also made the "April's day" article a bit bigger (with more text) and changed stories link to articles link, because it sounded better and some might think, that those "stories" aren't real. Also if anyone cares, I made the navigatio frame scrollable. If you haven't noticed, the upper frame has new background. Hope it looks good. You should excpect some guides to appear next friday, but I don't promise anything, so don't be disappointed if they don't come.
| 31.3.2001 I'm back and going great! |
RuneScape has been very quiet lately (2 weeks),
so I hope they are going to do something big, or maybe they are
just having a break. Well anyway Capone1930 met Andrew in-game
and saw his 2-h rune sword and he took a pivture from it (which I
copied to my items section). Also there was Andrews first post on
RuneScape tips board and he was asking opinions about new PK
system. So there might be coming a new PK system where all are
PKs, but there are only duel fights, which will require the
permission from both players. There he also said something about
making a new island "The Wilderness" where everyone
could attack everyone with any kind of permissions. So I quess we
just have to wait for a looong time
.
I have finally (how many times am I goin to say
that?
) stopped
that all time taking clan act and now it is time to update this
site very often. Now I have putted new board online, because
there was some problems with the older one, and this board is al
lot better than the other one. The other update today is the
items section. I was going to arrange them to alphabetical order,
but then I realized it was too hard and BORING. So then I still
thought that those items need some kind of arranging so now misc
items are arranged by their sort of type, hope you understant.
Also there are some new items there like 2-h rune sword! It is a
new upcoming powerful item (maybe the best sword?). Also some
other rare items were added. Also I noticed that I was missing
some items (not just some), so there is now the item name, but no
picture. There might be lots of other things coming up like
contests and smithing guide, because Silveron (from RuneScape Tips) allowed me to
use the info from his page (thanks Silveron). Also you might have
noticed that i'm using pics for smileys instead of normal
letters.
| 30.3.2001 Site moved |
No I have finally moved this site to MBnet servers. Don't know about the speed, but at least the address is a little easier to remember and file managin is a little more easier to me, when there aren't hundreds of other useless crap in the same fucking server (don't mind the swearing). The only other update is that I have finally found the javascript to make a random logo picker, so it will each time pic a random logo when you reload the page (isn't it just fun =D ).
| 27.3.2001 Some updating |
There has been no updating arounf RuneScape in last week (odd). Hope they are doing somthing big to add soon. Or actually there was a slight change, an annoying one. It is nothing to almost anyone, but to me it is. They have changed the RuneScape link code to much harder to copy (beyond my limits), but I might get it back from other places :). So there is no play now button in this page currently.
I have finally updated this site again. This site is not dead or anything, it is just that I have my own clan to run, which page must be updated very frequently (cause a sort of ranking system). And I don't have surrently much effort to work with this site (although any feedback and help, might work to fix me up). I might be moving this site very soon to MBnet servers, but that's just maybe. I have now at least recieved help from ajjg123 (thanks) and there is new section "people" not much to there, but at least something. Also Tsai-clan website has moved to www.geocities.com/tsai_clan so go there to check it out (and as for you tsai members: Your site isn't yet enough to beat sabers' site, even though it looks good). Also now there is a another new clan called Nordic warriors and their web site can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/nordicwarriors/. Also WOR is now back online and you really should go check this site, 'cause they have contests and other stuff like that: http://worldofrunescape.cjb.net/ and there is a new RuneScape site, that isn't a clan but something like that: http://www.minefed.homestead.com/ and Pohjolan urhot clan site: http://pohjolanurhot.cjb.net/. That should be all the links page change. For next this page update, you might have to wait for a looong time :), or until next RuneScape update comes.
| 17.3.2001 Updating again. |
Today runescape was updated. Finally they made something to prevent some cheating in game. Here is the message posted on RuneScape homepage. It seems that later this day, Andrew posted a new news post and remove the older one. Here are the both copies (which I luckily got):
1. Edition This weeks updates are:
Luckily whilst I was busy doing this Paul had time to add a cook's guild which you can only enter if your cooking skill is 32 or better. Cooking has also been improved with a wider choice of things to make. (You can now make a variety of different pies.) |
2. Edition I've just uploaded this weeks update. I didn't get as many features added as I hoped, because I instead had to spend time modifing the system to stop a few players intent on spoiling the game for everyone else. Players who try to break the rules are just slowing down the improvements to the game, so please don't do it! Luckily Paul has also made lots of improvements this week, so between us we've still done quite a lot of new stuff. This weeks updates are:
|
No updating was done in this site. Only new thing is that, I will now on copy the news post from RuneScape homepage. I also might get help from a experienced RuneScape player called ajjg123. I really hope he will help me, because I'm really need of help. Contact me from my e-mail: email@example.com. I have also started using the News archive, so that only 3 most new posts will display here. I have now made my clan site to steady phase, so that I don't need to do much work with that anymore and I hope, that I can no once again concentrate on this site.
| 11.3.2001 Little updating. |
RuneScape was updated yesterday. Or not actually the game but other things. It seems that they are making a new site design (not much different, but still a lot better). Another server has also installed to work with RuneScape to maki it more faster while there are lots of players playing it.
I have done some updating to this site. I moved bug story to stories page and changed my counter to bravenet, 'cause it is more handy and Tiedot.net's counter sisn't work anymore (don't know why). In case you haven't visited my clan site, it's http://runescapers.tripod.com. There is also a new RuneScape site called The RuneScape Archives: http://members.tripod.com/xaviers2100.
| 8.3.2001 No updating. |
There wont be any updating in this site soon, cause I'm busy making my clan site. I have added a story about an intresting bug to main page and a new link to my clan site. That's all for long time.
| 6.3.2001 Map added. |
Today I added map, better than the orginal to the map page (thanks to Viikate). Also, if you haven't noticed, I have added all Prince Ali quest items to items page. If you have any ideas for this page, post them to board, 'cause I haven't. So it might be very quiet around this site for few days, if I don't have the effort to do a monsters page.
| 2.3.2001 Board added. |
RuneScape was also updated today. Some minor problems were fixed (I don't know what) and some clay shortage bug (?) was also fixed. Getting skin paste also works now. Andrew has also ordered another dedicated server to run RuneScape to make it more faster and reliable than before.
Finally I have added a message board. I also removed quest book, cause it seemed, that noone ever used it. Later today I will be adding ratings for every site. Links page was also updated with new clan link today. Check out now: http://www.geocities.com/runescape. I have also updated my Links page with lots of new things.
| 28.2.2001 RuneScape updated. |
RuneScape has been updated with new quest. You must rescue prince Ali of Al Kharid from Lady Keli. If you are intrested to this quest, go to talk to Chancellor Hassan in Al Kharid. RuneScape was also updated with new options in options menu and friends list menu too (even though it's not ready yet). You can yet only choose from two options to change. 1. is to change behavior the camera (from manual to aouto) and other will let you change from PK mode to nonPK mode (and vise verca), but you can do this only twice! To change this option, the game will ask for confirmation, so you can't change this in accident. Anrew will be adding other options later. Andrew is also working on system to support clan/friend's lists.
This page has also been updated with "Stories" section. Now there is only that imposter story of Runescape, but I will be adding other things later, when something happens.
| 25.2.2001 Runescape story. |
Okay, there isn't going to be player houses and kingdom of Asgarnia very soon, because Andrew said so. He also said that there is going to be lots of updates next week. Clan support will also come before player houses, but that's all I know about them.
Read the main page for amazing RuneScape story of Runescape the imposter.
| 23.2.2001 Quest book and counter. |
There has been very quiet in RuneScape homepage. I hope they will soon release something big! I think the next release is kingdom of asgarnia, and as I have heard, the player owned houses will be released in the same time. So there will be much to explore when they get released.
I have added counter to main page and quest book. This has been a very good day for items section, because I have added more than 30 items (thanks to viikate for 11 items), but 0 longer descriptions.
| 21.2.2001 New items section. |
Again I made a new Item's section. This time it's a lot better, but also a lot harder to do! I will be adding lots of items as time passes, but it's very hard, since making even a one item takes about half our.
| 19.2.2001 Updating |
Some updating done in this site. See the new items section and all logos of RuneScape Hall in pictures
| 18.2.2001 This page is up |
This page is in internet at last. All sections aren't yet ready, but I'm going to do them very soon, maybe in this month already :). Well thats about all news now on this site.
