The effect of players lying about their dates of birth in this way is that the official figures will show ages artificially skewed towards higher numbers, and make the player base appear older than it actually is. It is also possible that some players may lie about their dates of birth to make themselves appear younger than they really are. It is unknown as to what extent these two effect counteract each other. The game itself is currently available in five languages: English, German beta launched on 14 February [10] , French launched on 11 December [11] , Brazilian Portuguese released 24 July [12] and Latinamerican Spanish launched on 24 April [13].
Additionally, Mod Jon H a Jagex moderator announced on the 15 October that a splash screen in the Dutch language is now available at www. Players who speak languages other than English tend to gravitate to worlds that are populated by other players who speak the same language. The community as a whole has a large influence on the nature of the game.
Whether it is on the forums or through special polls, Jagex have managed to integrate many of the players ideas into the game itself. In-game, the community is mixed due to it being widely available to so many people.
There is subsequently a variance in player behaviour throughout the game. Newer players tend to be unfamiliar with the rules, therefore they are more likely to be in breach of some without being aware of the consequences.
In the past, there was a substantial amount of players who exploited Runescape's free-trade system for personal benefit. These included bots and scammers which were rife in the community before Jagex made the controversial decision to remove these, at the cost of eliminating free-trade between all players. In response to previous decisions, players have organised riots and even quit playing.
Due to the immense size and diversity of RuneScape 's community, some established, experienced players may go on to achieve popularity and "celebrity status" among their peers. This phenomenon is often the result of intense dedication to the game; having high skill levels and vast amounts of wealth may allow a player to obtain the attention and approval of the rest of the active community.
More recently, due to the increased usage of social media, a number of players have become famous by uploading gameplay footage and commentary onto YouTube and other social networking platforms.
A moderator is a player who has been entrusted by Jagex with extra capabilities, such as the ability to punish rule-breakers. This might include the ability to mute or ban offenders. They are divided into three types - Jagex moderators Jagex staff members , player moderators ordinary players that Jagex has hand-picked and entrusted with extra capabilities , and forum moderators ordinary players who have the ability to perform administrative functions in the RuneScape Forums.
Jagex moderators "J-mods" are employees of Jagex, and occasionally log into the game to talk to players. All Jagex moderators with the exceptions of Paul , Andrew , and Ian , have "Mod" as a prefix in their names. In RuneScape , they are identified by a gold crown beside their names, visible during public and private chat.
On RuneScape' s official forums, the gold crowns are shown beside their name, and their posts appear highlighted in gold.
They have the ability to alter their skill levels at whim and may generate items within their inventory to assist in testing content before it appears in the publicly in the RuneScape game. They can not trade with regular players. Jagex moderators also have the ability to appear at any location in the RuneScape world. They do not appear in the high-scores tables.
Player moderators "p-mods" are regular players who have been invited by Jagex to help maintain the order of the RuneScape environment, keeping it safe and free from rule-breaking. Player moderators are identified by a silver crown beside their names when they send any sort of message in the RuneScape game. They are given the ability to mute players for a period of 48 hours and send priority abuse reports that are directly sent to a member of the Jagex team.
Player moderators have access to the Player Moderator Centre, an area on the RuneScape website that allows them to perform their role more effectively. P-mods are not expected to spend greater periods of time playing RuneScape than normal players, and are not even obliged to make use of their special abilities. Forum moderators "f-mods" are normal players who work to carry out the tasks of managing the RuneScape Forums.
Forum moderators were picked from a group of players by Jagex staff because of their ability to help monitor fairness and rule breakers in the forums. They are given the ability to move and lock threads, hide posts or entire threads, edit titles, and temporarily ban players from posting. Like player moderators, they are given a private set of forums that are primarily used to help perform their role more effectively.
Forum moderators have a green crown beside their name, as well as a green background when they post on the forums. They are not identified by a crown beside their name when they send a message in the RuneScape game. As with Player Moderators, Fmod get no benefits from Jagex for their role, which is entirely voluntary. When RuneScape was relatively new, Jagex was often involved in community affairs.
Examples of activities that Jagex used to participate in include:. For a time, Jagex became more detached from the community. For example, the company stopped listing fan sites for security reasons, although some saw this as a move to depart from the community. Jagex staff members no longer post on fan forums, or at least not using their Jagex names. There used to be a messaging system on the website where you could directly send a message to Jagex, and most of the time receive a response.
After what was probably abuse and spam of the system, it was silently removed. In more recent times, Jagex has been taking steps to try to become closer to the player community. They created a Twitter account in December to keep players up-to-date. When Mark Gerhard took over as Jagex CEO in February , he started by stating that the company will be more open, and its staff will participate more in the community with other players.
A poll in April showed that early interest for these accounts was poor, with 68 percent of respondents saying they had not visited any of them or had not heard of them, and only 12 percent having visited at least one. Jagex also began creating in-game events, such as international castle wars tournaments, which Jagex mods are reported to be seen at. They also began holding machinima contests, which Jagex members would judge, and then arranging the winner to meet Jagex and their headquarters in real life.
The company also now announces certain player affairs, just not on the official website. For example, it congratulated Telmomarques on reaching level Dungeoneering via Facebook. Also, the zombie outbreak event required players to protect J-Mods from being zombified, and allowed them to kill J-Mods that had been zombified.
