I smell a lot of bovine ********* in Pips' post. Aka, "good business" doublespeak.

We heard lines similar to this in similar events in the not-too-distant past.

"We have no plans..."

Well of course you don't, because you won't be in charge, your owners will order you to make more and more and more MTX and paywalls, and you nor us will be able to do anything about it.

Happy freaking 15th birthday RS.

This thread is turning into a soap opera.

Broken record, but same conclusion nonetheless. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

The past 20 pages has highlighted the lack of knowlege surrounding this issue.

To be blatantly honest, I don't think a single person here knows enough about this particular acquisition to start determining how it will affect Runescape. If anything, I believe Nexus has made the most reasonable judgement given the information that Jagex has provided - however, we can never be sure.

I don't know what Jagex's intention was when they decided to make this thread, but I assume it was to put an end to the speculation that has been going on around the community and confirm that the potential acquisition is not a rumor.

Therefore, I think this thread is simply here to tell players what is going on. To be arguing like ping pongs about the uncertain future, especially as an outsider of this deal is a mere waste of time. Furthermore, psychological and political analysis at this stage is nothing more than nugatory.
Helping one person might not change the whole world,
but it could change the world for one person.

ITT

Reasons why I don't engage in Internet debates anymore.

Too damn time consuming. O.o

Internet debates are full of incompetence and PRATT. Nothing more.

It is why I stopped bothering with most of them too. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

Sounds more like immaturity than nerves to me. Just saying.
The idea that a large company would spend so large a sum, only to immediately interfere with a proven profit-making formula is, at best, naive.

And the idea that a company would put up 300M and be willing to wait 200 years to see profit (money above their initial investment) is nothing short of asinine.

Mate, most companies won't even wait 5 years to recuperate losses, let alone 200. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

Anything new is change, but from the posts on this thread it seems that its not the change itself they are worried about. But the people who own the company.

There have been far too many claims about CC information.

Mate, that's because back in 2007, Jagex was losing money out the whazoo refunding money from fraudulent CC payments from goldfarmers. Where were these goldfarmers predominately located? That's right- Asia (I believe the newspost specifically mentioned China as one of these locations).

It's actually why they removed Free Trade and Wilderness in the attempt to curb the rampant RWT that was occurring. It's a perfectly logical concern given this information.

Strangely, I don't see any fundamental difference between the positions of telcis and d4 other than glass half full vs half empty.

And you lose nothing from pessimism. You can lose from optimism though.

Therefore, it is logically more sound to presume the worst until proven otherwise. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

.

So you stating that because the company is from a country that has some goldfarmers, the company must also be goldfarmers intent on illegally selling your CC information?

Please don't post things without thinking about them, its blatant racist discrimination.
The only thing linking the two together is race. That does not mean you can assign the negative "trait" generally across everyone from that race.

Pessimism = lost chances. You can never gain anything from purely pessimistic decisions.
