This is hopefully going to be a positive. I know Jagex is a company and are in it to make money, but I don't think they are going to sell their game for it to be destroyed.

Logically, if they sell it and it destroys the game they'll make less money in the end and I doubt a skilled team of persons who are there to have the game make money are going to risk hurting any profits.

So unless it's a good deal that isn't going to destroy the game and only help it, I don't even see the deal going through.

Just my thoughts.

Don't forget that Jagex are owned by IVP, Raine and Spectrum - all of whom ARE out to make money (in this case $300,000,000).

IF they sell it, then they won't care what happens to it.

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. An individual or organization in China can sue another individual or organization in China if their actions are causing a negative affect on their financial status or business status. It's hard to sue someone in China if you're trying to sue from another country, but, if you have a company inside China, such as the Shandong Hongda Mining Co., it makes it a whole lot easier to file a lawsuit, the same way it was a whole lot easier for Jagex to sue iBot once they had established their official US branch of Jagex. Suing from within a country is a whole lot easier than suing from a foreign country.

Sorry I belive that comment was supposed to reference how NAFTA allows China to make knock off copies or something.

But yeah you are right. I still think the main motivation is cashflows. I guess it could be seen as a backdoor approach into suing the pants off goldfarmers but I really don't know how it all works in china. Probs should but I don't. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

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."

And this translates to steal things how?

China is a huge place where bribes are common - just like Russia. If one guy has access to the source code, he will probably take a $1000 USD bribe or lower just to leak it.

Plus, most companies are owned by the government - as per say Communism. 10+ year RS veteran; Oldschool RS player.
