From what I have been hearing is that there might be a RuneFest 2014 this year and it is kinda in the works. Although I would not be able to go due to financial issues I was wonder would Fansites will have a opportunity to be apart of RuneFest just like last year and would we be also give the opportunity to give away RuneFest Entry Tickets to our Staff for people within our Community? Would we also have a opportunity to be in a Community Chronicles of fansites that have free RuneFest Tickets to give away.

Because last year due to short timing I was not able to give away any Entry tickets and everyone didn't know I was doing any contest, so most people already Brought their tickets.

So I really in some way think Fansites should really have a opportunity to honestly have some involvement within RuneFest. Most of us invest alot of our income into funding a Website and ensuring we have a good enough Security on our site to keep our members safe. Base alone on Ad's you can't really make enough funds to keep your Website going unless you take in Donations or some how raise funds for your.

I know some people within the fansite Community might not use a Webhost provider and have a different alternative for making a RuneScape Fansite.

I don't know how last year's RuneFest went because I was not there but I hope in some way fansites feel more useful... Especially most of us who might not be able to attend do to Fund's or investments we have in our Website/Fansite.

Questions to Fansite Staff's:
What do you think fansites should be given during RuneFest?
What things should we be aloud to do during RuneFest?
Should each Fansite have Special and unique Competitions for giving away RuneFest Entry Tickets?
Should we do posters again for RuneFest?
Should all fansites be treated equal no matter what tier they are during RuneFest?

These are all questions you don't have to answer them all its just to get a discussion going.

I'm actually quite sure that a RuneFest 2014 has been confirmed, although I can't seem to locate the thread / post / tweet, but it was mentioned just a few days after RuneFest 2013... surely will be interesting though!

What do you think fansites should be given during RuneFest?

Allowing fansites to send one or two representatives each free of charge (accommodation and so forth would be self-paid, of course) would be very nice - so similar to last year. I would also very much welcome the possibility of having a small room where one could update his/her fansite, add forum posts, upload videos and otherwise engage and involve their community.

What things should we be aloud to do during RuneFest?

I assume you by aloud mean allowed, if not then I'm slightly confused.. Under that assumption I'll answer your question though! I think we should be allowed (or, rather, given the opportunity) to engage with our communities - perhaps through some of the ideas I listed in the previous answer. I'd also the imagine the possibility of livestreaming will be present; fansites should be allowed to do that as well.

Should each Fansite have Special and unique Competitions for giving away RuneFest Entry Tickets?

I'm not sure unique competitions are required (nor the best option, as that could result in people making assumptions of favouritism and whatnot), but being able to give away a few tickets would granted generate a lot of traffic and spread the word. I think the active fansites should be given the choice to participate, and if not with entry tickets then perhaps with the RuneFest goodie bags?

Should we do posters again for RuneFest?

Yes!

Should all fansites be treated equal no matter what tier they are during RuneFest?

I think every fansite willing to pay the expenses of accommodation and transportation to represent their community and participate in RuneFest should be treated equally, yes.

I will write out a more detailed version, however if it is not during holiday or the jamboree I will be attending. I might be organising the hoodies for ScapeCentral too once the date is released and if I can make it.

I need to cat to mod Fuzzlet / Jagex once the date is released about being able to go etc too so will let you know more once I know. ....

We have two admins in the UK who I will pay for them to go if they can make it. We also have two in the USA who would really like to go, but may not depending on flights and prices.

What do you think fansites should be given during RuneFest?

How about some dedicated computers for FanSites to show-off there pages and features?

What things should we be aloud to do during RuneFest?

Any form of advertizing would be great - we all want to build stronger and bigger communities. I think at least a one-hour panel with us and J-Mods to discuss fan-sites and the future is something Jagex should schedule.

Should each Fansite have Special and unique Competitions for giving away RuneFest Entry Tickets?

I think this is a personal choice and any fan-site who wants to invest in this is welcome to.

Should we do posters again for RuneFest?

I would say "yes"!

Should all fansites be treated equal no matter what tier they are during RuneFest?

I think this is essential. We all want to grow and develop, and we all work just as hard as each other - often we have just not been around as long to reach the maturity of the big two or three sites.

Great thread!

What do you think fansites should be given during RuneFest?
I would like to have a dedicated area for all fansites to mingle in, and have dedicated booths set up for each one. I don't mean an actual rotation where there is only one at a time, but rather a permanent seating. That way we can go and enjoy the rest of the RuneFest experience like everyone else.

We could have a computer for us to do our updates (or be able to connect to some form of network if we have to provide our own).

What things should we be aloud to do during RuneFest?
I would like to be able to "Book a JMod" or something so we could bring burning questions from our community and get someone to have a crack at answering them.

Should each Fansite have Special and unique Competitions for giving away RuneFest Entry Tickets?
I think this would be a nice idea.

Should we do posters again for RuneFest?
Sure!

Should all fansites be treated equal no matter what tier they are during RuneFest?
I believe so. We all have the same goal in mind - serving the RS Community, so there shouldn't really be any difference in treatment. Saying that a site is Platinum or Bronze wouldn't do any harm, but denying access to something would be wrong.

As for confirmation, Mod MMG tweeted early in the year that a 2014 was in the works but that's the last I heard about it. He replied to me and said there would be plenty of notice, but the year is already at the half-way point.

I'm based in Australia, and I would love the opportunity to visit RuneFest. Unfortunately, it's a long way to go, and something like this needs planning with flights, accomodation, and time off work. It's not something that could be rushed with a month's worth of notice.

If there's someone reading this that has some kind of influence, could you pass the message on that it would be very appreciated to have good notice for your international fanbase? :) Den Leader of the new fansite

I'll be chatting to Mod Jane about our RuneFest plans this week and I'll see what answers we might have for these questions for you.

Is there any chance you were able to chat to Mod Jane and can share stuff? :) Den Leader of the new fansite
