I still think we should have a Community stream dedicated to this subject . There are a lot of worried players and many who have out right quit for good .

I like the sound of this, something that would just lay out everything that this potential acquisition would entail - if they're legally able to provide such information. There's a lot of various speculation from the community that doesn't help with the actuality of the situation.

They HAVE said something, two threads posted about it. Which is probably at the limit of what they do know or can tell us at this current time.
Darkscape, from the begging was considered a test. It played out is viability and then they closed it. Players may not have known that when they started. But that is another topic entirely.

I definitely think that Jagex will say more when they can.

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..

What Jagex can say NOW is what IVP, Raine Group, et al allow them to say. It may not have anything to do with the new boss, whether it is Shandong Honda or somebody else. It may not mean a thing 3 months or more down the road. Besides, things can always be changed per each game's EULA anytime regardless of who own Jagex.

Yes, so if anyone wants to know more. They can find the information. Jagex might not be allowed to publicly state all the details of the deal. I think having a live stream before the deal is even finalised is pointless. Wait until the end of April, then its reasonable to expect more answers.

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.

Your 100% promise is as good as mine, which means completely nothing since we don't make Chinese laws or speak for the new potential boss of Jagex.

Actually, there are very few things the Chinese government would find objectionable. Unlike North Korea or Cuba, the Chinese government nowadays don't have many problems with capitalism and foreign companies. They don't have many bones to pick with foreign online games like WoW and Smite. If there are problems, they will more likely come from big Chinese gaming companies, who will logically want to take a bite. That said, Wild World will probably be published by somebody like a Netease or Tencent.

Even if it takes Chinese a while to get their own Wild World or get into the western Runescape servers, the new Jagex can still do something like what Blizzard do to Hearthstone - Asian, Europe, NA servers, so Chineses/Asians can still pick to play with whaterver friends from whatever regions.

"We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."

Sure, why wouldn't we trust anything that comes out of your mouths.
