[Kaye]

(i know its front page stuff but, it still had me curious)

http://services.runescape.com/m=news/ne ... ws?id=2955
(click the forum thread link for the useful details)

is anyone going to sign up?
i think i might

is KOA, as a clan, interested in signing up and throwing its weight around to a cause?

i find the whole idea very fascinating ...
it could potentially have some influence on all of rs

...maybe i am just up too late tonight

Thank you kay for posting this

Sounds interesting, and I will check out the forums to see how much of rs time is involved. It appears Rs is lately promoting team games, starting with dungeoneering skill, and latest Trimuvirate.

I wonder if there will be a team quest in near future.

I wonder if there will be a team quest in near future.

That would be awesome!

[Pa7uL]

Those get tricky. i'm sure it wouldn't be so bad being in the koa but it took me days to find someone for the hero guild quest way back when.

[Huzzah]

I might sign up it looks pretty neat. What group would others be signing up for?

[Ewsentinel]

Honestly, the specifics of it confuse the hell out of me. I'm not sure I've really wrapped my head around it. I know what the basic concept and I understand what Jagex is trying to do, but they left it a bit vague for my liking.

It looks pretty interesting. Not sure which faction I'll choose, but the clan should def participate

The triumvirate forum looks like chaos.
I´m not sure about this, sounds like an organized pvp community to me.

I´d like to see what are those challenges . Pvp for sure ... if there is anything else I might be interested

[TrixStar]

I don't understand how a company as big as jagex can put out poop with such little thought

[Auntpol]

I think I obtained a bit of a headache after reading the forums...if anyone can figure it out for me...explain it...and then it sounds like fun...then count me in!

3rd post on page 29 has some answers from Mod Crow.

The Triumvirate: Guide & FAQ

If I am not mistaken this is my understanding so far: (Someone please step in if I am wrong)

• pvp game between 3 communities called factions
  an/individual or clan can join one of the 3 communities/factions
  Mods set a challenge, and the 3 factions compete

With my limited knowledge so far, I view this as a competion between 3 Jagex teams.

The same can be said about thousands of companies....like Microsoft :lol:

[Ewsentinel]

OK, you start by joining one of the factions on the 'Join the [Name] here!' threads. Once you've posted we'll collect your name and we'll add you to your faction.

From there you need only participate in challenges and get involved with events to earn influence. We'll record all influence gained and keep track of who earned what. The more influence you personally gain the higher your rank will be.

From this JMod description, it sounds a lot like our skill week competitions. Welcome to Clan Jagex. lol

Bumped for PVP event fans This is definitely not for questers/skillers/dungeoneers
(I view dungeoneers as a different faction of their own)

More details here and here .

Some relevant information from FAQ

What is Realm vs Realm?

In RuneScape it's a massive PvP battle where you fight to take control of locations defended by your enemeies, whilst also striving to protect your own.

Is it safe?

Not even slightly! This event is for the most skilled combatants in RuneScape and will really test your warrior abilities. If you die you will lose items, but you can also obtain some pretty epic rewards from killing your foes.

I don't like combat I prefer skilling

Then unfortunately this is not an event for you. You could spend it baking your friends some cake to use but chances are you're flour will get dirty from all the bloodstains.

Wat duz Treeumvorat meanz?

Mod Hohbein? The Triumvirate is a community game of three factions vying for control of the RuneScape world. You can read more about it here.

I love carnage and bloodshed but I'm not part of the Triumvirate. Can I still take part?

Of course you can! Just pick a side that sounds cool and team up. You may find you really like your group in which case you might want to sign up and officially join them!

Will you replace any items lost?

Sorry, but as we say, this is an unsafe battle and you will lose items if you die. We won't replace these however for those who survive you'll be able to earn a huge amount of influence for your faction and you can always keep what you collect from your kills!

These worlds are members only. What about free players?

A good amount of feedback we received from the Clan Wars challenge was that our players wanted a chance to show off their members gear. For that reason we have geared this challenge for our members. We will still have F2P challenge in the future.

It sounds interesting, and I would definitely participate if we are going to do it as a clan. It also sounds totally intimidating. I m the anti-Scootch...I have never participated in PvP, and only done CW once, for the Diary. If we are going to do this as a clan, we need to start holding regular pvp events, so we can learn teamwork, tactics, tricks, etc. Would any of you pro-people-killers like to organize this?
