Devastating news for RuneScape

A few months back, Jagex (makers of RuneScape) decided that they were going to change the combat system entirely, with the addition of dual-wielding, ability bars etc. In my opinion, RuneScape had a very unique combat system that no other game had. Now that they are adding all of this, it is starting to become more similiar to World of Warcraft (WoW) or even League of Legends (LoL).

Jagex will be adding this new combat system on 20th Novemeber 2012. There have been several people from the world suggesting good ideas such as making two different types of servers, one with the current combat system, and one with the new combat system. This would allow people who like either the current combat system or the new system to still be able to play RuneScape in their preferred combat system. The choice still belongs to Jagex however.

Here is a screenshot of the current RuneScape we have.



Here is a screenshot of what the new combat system looks like. (I will upload a better image when the update arrives.)

Postivies to the new system are:

- There is new gameplay for people to try out.
- Some people may have gotten tired of the old combat system and want to try something new.
- Those who have the completionist cape will have something new to do.
- Some people will prefer the difference that armour affects you.

Negatives to the new system are:

- It angers people who are loving the current combat system.
- The new system will confuse a lot of people because we are so used to the current system.
- It takes a lot longer to kill something. May it be a boss monster or any attackable creature.
- Some people will dislike the changes that the new armour has an affect on you.

What I will do when the new combat system arrives:

I will work on my skills to get the max cape. It will take me a while and hopfully people will start making mega complaints about the system and Jagex will get rid of it before I get my max cape. If it doesn't happen (which will probably be next year when I get my cape) then I guess I will have to adjust to the new combat system or find a new game to play.

All I want for Christmas is...

This year's hottest gaming Christmas items are

•  Halo 4,
• Assasin's Creed III,
• Skylanders Giants 
• Call of Duty Black Ops II
• Wii U

I only want one game, that is Halo 4. Reason is because I love the Halo storyline and the game play of it. Im most looking foward to the new features of the game. I hope there are new weapons, characters, features and an excellent story line.

What does everyone else want???

What is Skype?

What is Skype?

Skype is a software that enables you to talk to peolple through a mic. It is a free downloadable software and is easy to use. Most people use it for gaming purposes, as it is very easy to communicate to others without typing too much.

Advantages of Skype:
- It is quick and easy.
- Easy to communicate with friends and people.
- Free
- You can tell if people are being sarcastic or not by their tone.

Disadvantages of Skype:
- There is a risk of cyber bullying.
- There is a small risk that you may get hacked. (One of my friends got hacked via skype during a game. He lost all of his items and valuables (Only skype people who you know))!
- While gaming and skyping at the same time, there may be lag while you play your game.

I myself use skype for Minecraft and League of Legends. I use it because it is efficient to communicate with people as I said above.

The only reason as to why I can think people get hacked via skype is because of screen sharing. When you skype some, you have the option to screen share, which means you share your screen with the person your talking to. They can see everything on your screen that you can see. So only share screens with people who you can completely trust with!
