I wouldn't be surprised if they offered a Chinese edition of runescape for china and cut out all the stuff the Chinese government would find objectionable while leaving the full version for western markets in the hands of our loving dev team. I 100% promise that we won't be playing with people of China unless they figure out how to circumvent the wall and play an extremely laggy version of western runescape.

Cause that's what happened with wow, the wow china version is a little different.

No bones of any type are allowed cause their government doesn;t like it, so china-runescape will have different undead. Instead of dropping bones it'll just be gravestones. One of the best goats in Runescape.

Except that there's a thread in this very forum that proves your statement false. You know that, you posted in it (and it's currently on or around page 5 if you need to find it again).
Customer support stats Feb?

Or did you mean page 6 with Kristas numbers thread?
You do realise that Jagex spends their profits on the company to make it better, such as ventures like chronicle and darkscape. The value of Jagex has also steadily increased over time.

I was talking about Krista's thread and numbers don't lie.. profits are after ALL expenditures.

You want to claim they put the profits back in to make it better and you're using a recent release (Chronicle) that the success or failure of can't yet be determined (I mean, hell, open beta just started March 23rd) and a game mode that FAILED and will close forever, on Monday.

Something tells me that dead games have nothing to do with increasing value over time (and in point of fact it REDUCES profits because the money spent is now officially down the drain; dead game is dead). Jagex has been good at dead games over time though... just look at Funorb. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Then imagine those changes coming to western runescape. Why bother making two editions.

I miss funorb. It was great. At one point I had membership over there, but it was pointless cause nobody was playing anymore and even arcanist* was dead for members. Jagex needs to do a full push on funorb. They have tons of quality games that just need a re-polish, and tons of in-house creativity to really put some fire behind it. Arcanist* was just the crown jewel of FunOrb, I love arcanists. If I ever do win the lotto, I'll fly to jagex studio's and spend it all on arcanists. One of the best goats in Runescape.

Dude, I didn't type that first part and it's evidenced by the fact that my post which you quote is unedited...

Numbers don't say anything, interpretations and analysis of the numbers is where the words come from. Anyone who has had any experience with number analysis knows that you can twist it how you want depending on which numbers you choose to look at. So simply stating numbers = truth is a bit of a stretch.

I don't think you fully appreciate the purpose of ventures. Nor do I think that you know enough about this, due to your claims that Runescape will be moved to China and be exclusive to the area. Its all a tad impractical given the information.

At the moment, that wouldn't be practical.

The deal will be for most of the part, finalised, when the first payment goes in at the end of April.
That's when Jagex staff can say for certainty that the deal will happen and what that means for the player base.

It is better to say something about it than nothing at all.. Ask the Mods who ignored the darkscape players ( Pi & Connor ). We need to hear something from Jagex..
