"I know the mods have no control over Jagex (by company share holders) being sold, however, it does not matter who owns the company, if players do not pay, the game ends. No company buying or selling wants that to happen, so yes "we pay we say" does matter. Enough people stop paying, the game is not worth buying, or selling for that matter."

I think you and I can simply agree to disagree on that aspect of the situation.
See, the way I see it is that China has more than enough gamers to sustain this small company for years to come (which in turn means that none of the existing players really matter enough to do more than go through the motions of 'we pay we say' and stopping memberships; an exercise in futility, at best).
Just because -these- players don't pay... doesn't mean THOSE players won't pay. See how that works..
I do see your point, and China is huge with a market much larger than the Euro and North American population, however, just because the company is a Chinese company does not mean that a majority of Chinese people will start playing. Example: I am an American, and I play RS and Jagex is a company founded and run in the UK; now if 50% of player stop playing this game, because Jagex sells, there would not be enough new Chines players to fill the loss. Imagine if more than 50% quit the game. Just because it is a Chines company does not mean Chines people will play it for that reason. Chines Internet is limited, so you are not looking at a potential billion, you are looking at a much lower demographic. Also may things things in this game are taboo in China. I said it before and I will say it again, China is the fun police. I am not completely opposed to Jagex selling, but not to a company located in one of the 3 communist countries left in the word, that have no idea how to allow individual thinking, and expressions of freedom.
