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. Um... why would Jagex sell bots for their own game, when they could just continue to sell bonds and treasure hunter keys to players?

Easy:

1. Make Chinese version of RS.
2. Monitise it to the EXTREME.
3. Sell bots and pretend they aren't from their own company.
4. Profit 2x. They wouldn't profit 2x though, as someone who buys a bot is less likely to spend money on the game itself for bonds, promos, etc. Someone who can get level 99's in a short period of time by botting most likely won't stick around for very long either.


If anything, having a counterpart in China would actually be handy in dealing with goldfarmers coming from that particular region, as the parent company of Jagex could now take legal action in China, whereas it is currently quite tricky for Jagex to take legal action in China.

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. 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. ^_^

*** there are much safer options than jagex to choose from. But jagex has no AR and collect cash up front. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

You do know that if the source code for the games are shown to ANYBODY in China, someone will bribe them into leaking it so that they can make bots for it.

There's almost NO copyright system in China. This is a bad deal and they messed up by not providing us with a counter-alarm to this deal announcement. 10+ year RS veteran; Oldschool RS player.

Just remember folks, Jagex had been known to pull April Fools Jokes on the community so keep that in mind!


It's the middle of March, and this is no joke.

I think Companies House changed it so they're free, now. I'm at work, so I can't shouldn't check (and if anyone asks, this is a database). Last accounts filed were for 2014, and 2015 isn't due till Sept. 30th.
