SwiftKit News

FaceKit (April Fools!)

SwiftKit are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new invention, FaceKit - SwiftKit for Facebook.

More than 500 million individuals all over the world use Facebook. You use it to communicate with all your friends - ranging from a daily catch up to that cool party you’re having on Saturday. Starting today, SwiftKit will be exclusively available to Facebook users (as FaceKit) with full integration into the News stream and real life identity!

Because we think this is such a great and permanent innovation, we have from today ceased development of all other SwiftKit projects to focus our time and efforts on FaceKit.

FaceKit allows full integration of your RuneScape activities into your Facebook news feed. No longer will you have to manually tell your friends that you got that cool Hunter level or defeated that boss.

Say goodbye to pseudo-names! FaceKit uses everyone’s real identity and photo with all communications to ensure there’s no confusion. We truly are bridging the gap between the ‘internet world’ and real life! Family members, coworkers and future employers can see exactly what you're up to in RuneScape whenever they want!

We believe social networking is the future of the internet - and we are embracing it with open arms! We hope you (and all your real life friends) enjoy our new cross-platform delight - yes, even you Linux users can get in on this one! smile

Here's a sneak peak of what we've got in the cooker:

Looks nice except in one flaw with your concept by them really finding your who your are in Runescape can cause some real security problems and alot of people will be hacked more for the character and for revenge, thats the major problem with them finding out who your really are! On Runescapes I should Know I got a level 131 and have played Runescape for 10 years ever since the beginnning of Runescape Classic began and Im not lying either

To Madre @ 15 2011 04:45 pm

This was clearly an attempt at a funny april fools joke and I did laugh when I read it. But honestly it would have been much funnier had you actually got on facebook and set up a facekit page or app that is graphicly designed to look legit. By doing so we all could actually make fun of all the morons you convinced that it was real.


#23
Dave @ 14 2011 07:15 pm

What is this runescape you speak of?


#22
noobman243 @ 09 2011 08:12 am

#20
Faint @ 06 2011 05:16 am

lol i found this a pretty funny post since there is probly like 3 ppl in the whole world who would actually want this. i could picture people on facebook chatting with their friends or flirting with some girl and then it says you got 90 summoning in runescape lol one quick search on google and there goes any chance of having a social life. even funnier was that there was like 4,5 ppl who believed this haha

Duke Damn @ 06 2011 01:44 am

So people actually take things released on the 1st of April seriously? Especially ones that have the slightest thing to do with douche-book? I have 30000 friends that I talk with ALL THE TIME hurpderpdurpherp :D

=) @ 04 2011 10:14 am

Nice Idea,
But some of the reaction's are kinda gay,
do you know or there is comming runescape for mobile?

Ionic Leet @ 02 2011 09:49 pm

Brilliant work guys! this is exactly what I think we were all waiting for :) facebook-based swiftkit... only problem I can see is that my school blocks facebook :/
but now I won't have to go through the trouble of telling all my hundreds of FB friends about everything I do on RS every single time I level! it's perfect! can't wait to try it out and show off my GWD killz so the whole senior class'll be talking about it when I get back to school!!!!!

Excellent idea guys. Though I may miss swiftkit, it's just the next evolution- from SwiftSwitch to SwiftKit, now from SwiftKit to FaceKit.

Brad @ 02 2011 08:58 am

lol nice joke SK team.

To all the trolls/haters:
It was an april fools joke. this isn't really going to happen. maybe you should've noticed to date that this was posted.


#12
Alexxx @ 02 2011 07:55 am

Haha, funny joke guys :P


#11
Matthew @ 02 2011 06:49 am

Guys, It was a AF joke... No way in hell would people use this..


#10
a @ 01 2011 05:17 pm

great idea guys. Hey, while you're on it, could you possibly add the functionality of adding a message whenever I log in, so that everyone on my friends list (and their friend) would see a message every time I logged on? thanks! :)

To all the haters: check the date ;)

James @ 01 2011 04:14 pm

Zack @ 01 2011 01:53 pm

lol this is really dumb knowing half the players of runescape are like 13 and have facebook and there friends would clown them hard 4 the post but thats just me i think this should be re thought over but 1 good idea would be a downloadable runescape game so you can work on your player offline


#6
Diva @ 01 2011 01:45 pm

What's Facebook?


#5
Simmo @ 01 2011 01:59 am

#3
Rage @ 31 2011 06:37 pm

This better be an early april fools day joke. . . Not a good idea, swiftkit is fine as it is. . . please continue to update it i like everything seperate as it is. . . .swiftkit alone is AWEWSOME dont ruin it by forcing everyone into facekit
