This is extremely disappointing news to hear.
I have been playing this game 12 years over many different accounts.

If you go through with this, Runescape will be destroyed, and for most of your player-base, this is our Child hood game!

(Guessing here so don't quote me)

One of the most successful and well-known MMOR**'s will be ruined.. Please do not do this!

It is the only game I play and I grew up playing it. After this deal has been made, gaming is basically over for me. Currently, I am not doing any activity in game that involves ores or mining and I'll get my clan to do the same.

After runescape dies (Hope not), I'll be in the same boat!

I'm yet to hear a logical argument as to why this is in any way negative.

Plenty of racist prejudice though.

A MINING company is buying Runescape.
This mining company just lost TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars
Runescape nets a profit of approx. one million pounds per year.
Runescape is being bought for THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
Do you think this mining company is going to wait 150 years to make their money back?
NO!
Do you think this mining company is going to try to use the game as a cash grab and suck as much out of it as possible?
MAYBE!

Time will tell.

They are buying the game to strengthen their portfolio. They are not known for the suck and run that IVP was known for. And runescape survived that.

As for the 150 years, that's assuming runescape doesn't grow or get sold again. Its worthwhile for them to increase runescapes value.
