Well, we’re at the end. After many months of fooling around with nothing to show for it, it’s game over. And just when I was coming back, too.

Anyways, a few things to say. First, I’d like to thank all the people who’ve helped the Salcast v2 since Reaver and Kayla brought it back from the dead a ways back. We’ve had a lot of great fun, etc etc etc <cliche stuff here>. It’s true, though, it was a good time.

Second, regarding this episode. Back in the end of December of 2009, we landed an interview with Jagex – Mod Hohbein of the community management team, and Mod Mark, the lead game designer who’s been at Jagex since the very beginning. After getting corrupted a bit (which wiped out a good chunk of it), getting stalled due to my crappy internet, etc, I found it in the maze of files known as my external hard drive. But here it is, finally. Even though it’s so old, it’s still quite relevant now, and aside from that, Mod Mark is very interesting to listen to.

Third, here’s the episode; enjoy!

Salcast 16, the best bit! Its just Jagex discussion!  You may say (or look) but never fear, with this new format you do not need to stream or download bigger files, you can instead just listen to your favorite Runescape banter from Easl, Tabt, Bob and Goggie as they embark into the month of manuary.

• No more skipping through forum discussion!
• No more sleeping through long music (ok maybe once)!
• No more getting a drink in the misc section!

Yes the new face of podcasting is here! Quicker releases, shorter podcasts (face it, 45 minutes of project W was a long time) and 4 of the greatest voices on the internet, and kemosabe! Yes the benefits are HUGE, just click the link and away you go, into a world where Steel 2handers do exist.

Easl and the JD team

Welcome to the first of our secret projects! Project W is the astounding interview with the one and only Excl (and son). Our thanks to Bob and Tabt who conducted it even though Sarah had some technical difficulties. Excl was a fantastic interviewee and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did editing it [/sarcasm]!

On top of that, we’ve also got a completely new set of staff members. Please welcome:

• Dwarrior
• Tabt
• Finisterra
• Kemosabe
• Twist of Fate
• Aliath
• Fake
• Jordo
• Error404
• mad max
• finway

And with our influx of new staff, a new structure by which we do things. Basically, we have five sections – Forum Discussion, Jagex Discussion, Entertainment, Tech, and Literature. Each of the five sections has a head, Entrility, Easl, Doddsy, DaNoobPro, and Falcon respectively. The job of the section head is to make sure the people in their categories get content released by the deadline – and when deadline hits, whatever content is available and ready to be put in a Salcast is. This way, we can assure more frequent casts, probably of shorter length.

Anyways, we hope this’ll work out for us. Thanks for listening!

A very big “thanks” goes to the following members Falcon, Fatalysm, Doddsy and Entrility! Not our usual spur of members ready to contribute however this is actually where you all come in! We need your help, so keep reading on!

So moving on swiftly, we would all just like to drift your attention over to some changes that the SalCast will be making and how you can get involved with all of this! The SalCast never stops changing and this time it’s a complete shift which will require groups of 4/5 people to join categories of their choice! The categories will be released at a later date, so be sure to check back into the SalCast forums.

If your simply wondering how it’s going to work, we have adapted a new system where there will be around two hosts and two researchers for each category! Each individual category will have a leader to organize that section and it’s dates and times! Obviously this will mean quite a few people will be needed, so if your interested stick around!
