Our featured article this week is titled "If I Had to be a Noob Again, I'd Say No." As the title suggests, the author, sees_all1 talks about his experiences with being a "noob" - a generally naive and new user - and how he'd not like to do it again!

hawkxs has written an accompanying article this week called "Gaming For Charity" and talks about incorporating donations to charity into gaming.

And finally, we also have a guest fictional article this week written by BioIce. It is a very unique article about an unusual encounter with a "Quiet Foe."

It is an opportunity you just cannot miss!

Things get underway in just a few hours at 9PM BST today, September 24, 2011 on RSC World 2. For more information be sure to check out this forum topic for all the details of the festivity!

We are very proud to present our real life clan citadel competition! This competition is open to all members of our community and there are some awesome prizes provided by Jagex!

This is a real life contest. Your goal is to create a representation of a clan citadel in real life! Digital tools are not allowed, but you may choose any "real" medium you wish. This may include building a clan citadel spaghetti tower, a pillow fort, a sculpture, a painting, or anything else you can think of! Your entry must represent clan citadels in some way. You can construct an entire citadel, or just one room/aspect of citadels. Just make it clear to us what you are representing! We encourage you to take a screenshot in-game of what you are constructing and submit it to us alongside your real life construction so we can compare the two! There is no limit on the number of entries you may submit, but try to put a lot of effort into one entry rather than less effort into multiple entries!

One lucky winner will receive something special from Jagex! More information about this awesome prize will be given at the end of the competition!

For more information and details on how to submit your entry, please visit our forum topic!

Deadline: 24 October, 2011
