I'm Quilteej (obviously) and I have come to show you a MMORPG called runescape, as the title suggests. Runescape was created by a company called Jagex. The game itself is named after runes, an item in the game that allows players to cast spells (Although the name could also mean Run escape ). The game used to have this awesome tutorial that taught you about all the stats, but they replaced it with THIS: Like my username? hunting is a pay to play skill, how can I even become a hunter? Now i'm in this mysterious cellar... That can't be good... What's wrong with you, squire? Oh, that. (not fast enough to screencap fireball) That goblin didn't come down the ladder, he was on the roof... (My computer magically turned off at this point, so I lost the pictures of me killing the goblins and Sir Vant's plan) Why do you have drugged meat in your bag? hurr durr, it's a wall hurr durr, it's a plank weeeee puppy! okay, time to get serious. yay it's asleep wow, you're lazy. why do you have oil and tinderboxes in your bag? Done! here you go don't you just love it when games say something is going to blow up soon, but doesn't blow up untill you get away from it? Wow!Yeah, I know. Those roots weren't in the wall earlier. Is there somebody behind me? I didn't see a cupboard in here... wait a second, was that your pet? o.o I realised that... That's all? There are no cell phones in runescape! Unless Jagex made an update... wait, couldn't we just go up that ladder from the begining of the quest? Why can't you do it? Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine roots roots roots Stupid Roddeck... weeeeeeee (again) To Canada!

Let him do it if he wan't to Tiger.
Quilt, if you want to do an LP of this game you might want to add some info into your OP. I have absoultly no idea what this game is about, what you do or what it looks like.
If you are going to start a thread it is good practice to add some screenshots or the first update to the OP. Right now all it says it.
Yup, Runescape is a game. I might do an LP sometime...
Just some things to mull over.

I like your jokes. Follow Cabinet's advice to make the LP better.

Just realised you edited the first update into the OP. I have a couple of things to point out.
First, what is with the red text near the end? Is that your character talking? If so you should announce it before the LP starts.
Another thing, your commentary should go under the image. It makes it easier to read. For example:
Image
Words
Next image.
See?
Also your image sizes are all over the place. You should make them all the same size. It looks really odd. I would suggest having all the "action" (i.e; non talking) screens large. Then for the text boxes, cut them out of the big image and have them on their own. You do this with some screenshots but not all of them. Again, it looks out of place and schizophrenic.
Your ending... well there wasn't much of one. You just cut yourself off. It's concidered good practice to end at a good point. At the end of the level, at the end of a quest, after a boss ect. This isn't youtube, you don't have a time limit. From my own count you have exactly 30 screens. You can add more if you want. A good cutting off point is 60-80 screens. You can still go over/under this limit. Just have a good cutting off point.
Finally, I think you could add a bit more info into your commentary. I still have next to no idea what is happening. For example, what is the setting? Why are the characters in a cellar? Explain the leveling system, the kit system. MMO's don't usally have a common leveling system, kit system ect. Things like these need explaining.
Now I know this post might seem very pessimistic of the LP, but if you manage to fix up all these things you could have a decent LP. If I were you I would re-do the first update and fix all those problems. I would put an intro onto it. "Hi I'm quilteej and I'm doing a LP of Runescape. Runescape is a MMO made by..... "
Stuff like that makes a good LP. If you have any technical questions you want to ask me post in the LP thread. I'll help you there.

I actually stopped there because I had to get off the computer . I'll try to explain the leveling as I go through the LP, and as for why they're in a cellar, I have no idea why my guy is in a cellar. The red= sir vant talking. Now to update the OP...

as for why they're in a cellar, I have no idea why my guy is in a cellar. You should have poked fun at that. It would have been a great opportunity.

Maybe I should've...Come to think of it, there are like, only 10 children in all of Gielinor (the world in which Runescape takes place). Also, fixed the OP. I already have the next update screencapped, so it will have varying sizes too, but update #3 will not.

I already have the next update screencapped, so it will have varying sizes too, but update #3 will not. I think you should fix them anyway. It's really annoying to read.
