As a RuneScape Player and a Veteran I am scared like the rest of you. Any time a big change like this happens it's easy to jump and think the absolute worst. My brother who has played since 2004 showed me this game and showed me that it had been bought. My heart sank reading about it and also reading all of the frustration from the RuneScape Community here on the forums. I hate seeing all of us being so afraid of this.

Fellow RuneScape Players please listen. Whether you play RS3, Old School, or even Classic this will Effect you in some way most likely. The thing we have to do it stay together in this time and hope for the best. This community is very hard to please for companies because without us there's no money but we want what we want and we won't have it any other way. Jagex...This Jagex knows this. What will the new Ownership have to bring to the table? If it means Micro-transactions in Old School those players will leave. If it means Turning RS3 into World of Warcraft those players will leave. It might even mean Forever Closing RuneScape Classic. If a lot of the bad happens they will find out what it's like real quick to lose money.

Remember my friends and players that this could be amazing for RuneScape or it could be the biggest Fall we've seen yet. The Bigger than the Wilderness and Free Trade being taken away in 2007 or the Release of EOC in 2012. We must hold together though. We must be optimistic. We must believe in this new company even if we don't trust them. They will bring their money to help develop these games and all of the other ones Jagex has into something bigger and better than they already are.

We may all be split on what version of this game we love and want to play; We may be split on time periods, but right now we must all come together and hold together so we can keep this great game going. The Jagex Employees need our support so they don't feel so stressed as well. Thank you for Everything Jagex and you Players.

You can't sue goldfarmers in China because of how their country works.

For example: US President Bill Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which basically allowed China to copy anything they want and sell it back to us in the USA.

That's what the 'cheap knock-off' products you see in stores came from.

Pretty sure that wasn't what NAFTA stated.

Unless you have the passage that states that.

Look up NAFTA on w*kiped*a.

Here's a small part under "Intellectual Property":

"The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act made some changes to the Copyright law of the United States, foreshadowing the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 by restoring copyright (within NAFTA) on certain motion pictures which had entered the public domain."

I'm not a fan of what this may bring, but:

NAFTA is a North American agreement, whereas Jagex is a UK company.

Runescape isn't a motion picture (alright, there IS a Runescape motion picture, but that's more a publicity stunt).

does this mean chinese company will be replacing ivp? in that case i support, i have never seen a single good thing come out of ivp, and after what they did to maple story, and have already forced mtx into runescape? ill take an asian company over it anyday Nope, you don't want that.

IVP are saints compared to the Chinese.


You're complaining about the current RS3 MTX? Lm***, it's some of the tamest microtransactions ever in a game. if RS3 was level 1 MTX right now, it'd be lvl 99 under a Chinese company.

ive played asian mmos, both *2* (which was pay to win from the second they were made in almost every single case) and cosmetic flood(which i honestly like and support)

id take that over what ivp does to games

A lot of you need to chill out and stop jumping the gun here especially when no information has been made public about this by Jagex, no one has any idea what is going on and making assumptions about it is down right ignorant.

You all claim to love this game so much so put some faith into Jagex and actually understand what is going on before claiming how terrible they are, premature judgement makes you all look like know-it-all stuck up children.

Also to those ripping on the current MXT system in-place, this is the only reason you are able to enjoy the game today. Stop caring about stuff like this, people buying into it does not affect your gameplay in any way.

P sure you cant sue goldfarmers in China, because the internet really has no country which owns it which means all sorts of international laws come into place.


I think the Latin term of what I am trying to get at is Habeas Corpus. It's something corpus. Ffs I've been out of school awhile. Don't quote me. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I am concerned about this potential takeover. The Asian market is flooded with copyrighted material, heavily monitized and pay-to-win at times, as well as hacked material. I'll play till RS dies but I hope that it doesn't have a premature death..

That being said, if I'm wrong...

I'm neutral about this as well. Time will tell.

And this translates to steal things how? I'm a big entropy fan.
