Has anyone tried a Hunger strike? Has Donald Trump been contacted??
He will bring Runescape back from China and make it great again.

I will protect Gielinor. Zaros has no love for its people.

If this does go through, all I can say is I really hope they don't make any major changes that would drastically alter RuneScape entirely, but who knows, it could get better, or it could get worse. As long as the game continues to feel like RuneScape I'll be happy.

This is catastrophic ! Seriously, a chinese company ? They will destroy everything, RuneScape will become exactly like one of these nefarious chinese game !

Never do I quit the french forum to post elsewhere, but the situation is almost hopeless.

I say unto you, if the game is sold, it will be the end.

What a crime !

My questions:

-How much freedom will Jagex maintain in its updates to Runescape?
-Will this effect management at Jagex? Would the current CEO get booted out?
-Considering the "Chinese Goldfarmer bot" stigma, do you think this would potentially harm Runescape/Jagex?
-What effect would this purchase have on "discontinued" Jagex products such as Funorb?

Surprised I didn't find a single "we pay, we say" comment in all of the 30 pages. I feel neutral about this, whoever is in charge of the decision hopefully has the community and all of the current Jagex staff in mind.

The "power to the players" approach is a great strategy in some cases of in-game content and development, but huge decisions like this are really best left out of the hands of the players.

Like just about any company, Jagex will have professionals well suited for this kind of business and negotiation, and we can all rest assured that they know what they're talking about much more than we do as the players.

How can anyone at Jagex live with themselves after this heinous betrayal? This is the worst betrayal in gaming history.

Is W66 still the rioting world? Why is there no protest? This is insanity playing out before us.
