Arcade

Is there a reason to why we dont have a arcade here? I think it would be pretty sweet to have one, since we can compete in the high scores and stuff.

An arcade...?

Yea, on most forums they have a arcade at the top where you can play from a list of games. When you make a score, or beat a high score you forum name is listed in it.

For example my clan has one. http://tpl.eebox.net/arcade.php

and other forums I use have them too, and they are pretty nice to have.

Main reason would be that we don't have time to develop things like that. We'd much rather be working on things that are related to Runescape. Also as I said before this community seems to have a habit of wanting things added then once we do, they never get used.

Hope that answers your question.

Yea I cant argue with that lol. But I dont think it is hard to but an arcade in at all really. I know my little brother had it on his bored.

Thanks for confirming that. I did doubt Shane for a moment there and wondered if what he said could possibly be untrue.

Arcades are done with in-forum currency, and that's just pointless at this time. Maybe back in the "Graphics Era" it could've been good spending money.

Perhaps this is true most the time. But, if this were as simple as it were to add, it might not be a bad idea. Of all the things you could add to a website/forum, an arcade would grab most people's attention, if only a few. On the flip side, I think you are just too lazy to go to an arcade site like addicting games or armor games and just play games there. Is that that much work to type that or search it? xD

With RuneScape already being quite an extensive game, with minigames, D&D's, pk'ing, etc., I can't see myself finding the time or the interest in playing anything else such as a forum arcade. Sorry, I don't think it's worth Shane's time and effort. I would much rather see him spend the time on the RSBandB site or on RS related content.

yea I agree except mike develops stuff for the site too so it would be a bigger waste of time to make an arcadium for rsbandb.com
and an arcadium will probably make rsbandb a bronze level site lol jagex wouldn't like the competition of a rsbandb arcade versus http://www.runescape.com/ :S
