Except jagex has declining income trends last I checked.
When was the last time you checked?


I believe 2012, 2013, 2014 but I'm on my phone right now.
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

There is also a very possible really good outcome for the game as well.
Nothing good will come from this. Nothing at all.

The china IP ban will most certainly be lfited like the OP hints to with expanding into asia markets. In come the floodgates of gold farmers.


And we have anti bot measures specifically for that.

After reading all the articles about the buying company, I have a strong feeling that this whole deal will go down bad for the game and its players. It's probably the end for RS as we have known it for years. I am guessing major changes to be dictated to increase the milking of cash. It's going to get flooded with even more MTX and what not.

Ah well, it was a good run and fun while it lasted, with all its ups and downs. Might have to start looking around for something else.

I hope all these negative comments are enough to ward off this deal.

The problem with that is the fact that China has NO copyright systems. If they get access to the source code, undetectable bots will be sold by the Chinese version of Jagex.

That equals DEAD GAME.

Congratulations on the business inquiry, Jagex! I can see that this appears to be a celebrated development among you.

I do, however, have a few concerns/questions (as any veteran player might):

1. What would this mean for the community? Would any of the traditions set forth in recent years (RuneFest, the Clan Cup, GameBlast, et cetera) be affected by this development?

2. What would this mean for RuneScape itself? Would the core game change based on influences from this new market?

3. What is meant by the term"acquisition"? Would ownership of the company change, or is it essentially an opportunity for expanding into an additional market, with marketing opportunities and potential player-base expansions?

All the best,

A*dx :D
With the Utmost Sincerity, Respect, and Integrity,

I haven't checked in a while, but I don't have anything in my paypal right now, so I can't order any documents. A lot can happen in a year. You can go from a profit of 180m to a loss of 55m. And vice versa of course. ^_^

Pfft! The investors who own Jagex don't give a rat's rump for the opinions of the players.
Particularly when the opinions are formed on the basis of virtually zero knowledge.
Runescape is merely another acquisition in a portfolio.

Please elaborate on this because if this goes south and you change oldschool to a pay-to-win I WILL cancel my 10+ years of membership and quit. I won't look back.

Your current membership streak is just 5 years buddy :P
