Think we could collectively raise $300m on Patreon to buy Runescape or something??? Runescape = Fan owned and maintained. This game cannot end up in the hands of the Chinese (No offence, but their videogames all suck). There must be something we can do! This is a death sentence!


Without massive financial support of the present (and past) staff, this is near impossible. Fundraising initiatives of much lower scales have been very difficult to achieve.
I can't remember how much the land was was worth, but it was 10 mil+, New Zealanders didn't want it to be sold off shore, so New Zealanders rallied together and brought this piece of land worth 10+ million,this was only in the last few months...


I was referring to fundraising initiatives in the cyber world. Real world fundraising initiatives are a whole different thing, especially when they have a great er cause.

I don't like my money ending up in a country where the government makes people disappear.


So, America?


Shh, you don't wanna end up on the evil Illuminati CIA NWO Empire of the Galaxy's hitlist, now do you?

Just put your tinfoil hat back on and go watch some Jesse Ventura in your private fallout bunker.

Just please do not give up the ability to run and rule yourselves, Jagex. Please. You guys have a good thing going, don't let other people take over your game!
they gave that up 10 years ago

I do hope that people realise that the only thing changing is the investors. So that means the only changes will be who gets the profits at the end of the day.

The staff at Jagex will still be running the game. This changes nothing.


Right. Just like nothing changed after the IVP buyout. Except flooding the game with MTX and providing an "official" RWT channel.
if it runs the same as ivp's investment did, we have 8 years to wait before any major changes are made to the game
