I think the same. There must have been a reason why NXT was released earlier than scheduled, likewise with the popularity of Chronicle, compared to its competitors (like Hearthstone). If you look at various Runescape Youtubers' videos on the subject, it makes sense. Janos Morgan of Asgarnia

Yes, like its other peers such as Tencent, PWE and You*u, I think this Chinese mining company is going to be very aggressive with its new acquisition. They are going to be proactive. Probably they have already started their plans in China already.

The only parties that have all the information about this potential acquisition are Jagex Ltd and the Shandong Hongda Mining Co Ltd. The only information that players are privy to is that published by Jagex on this thread and website. Speculating about how the game will change is fine but claiming your view is the only correct one, pointing out the errors in others, is not welcome, Tclcis. As such, some of the recent, more heated responses have been removed.

Autokill, derailing this thread to complain about how it has been moderated is not welcome. As such, your post and another on the previous pages have been removed. If you believe that the action taken was incorrect or unwarranted, please report your concerns to the Forum Moderation Review thread.

As the argument has been circular over many of the last few pages, the only thing you can do is to agree to disagree.

Personally, I see the whole thing like this:

Starting with the positives, I think that opening up to the Eastern market will allow for a larger audience in China and other countries in that part of the world, which will mean a larger income for both Jagex and therefore their new "Father Company", as I would put it, should the choose to buy membership, bonds, keys for TH and Runecoins for Solomon's. Making the community larger also allows for divides in cultures to be bridged, making the world a more social place.

Moving on to the negatives, or basically my personal concerns. I personally think that the essence of the game will be lost. What I mean by that is that, as seen with many Eastern RPGs, none in particular, have a generic feel to them, at least from the ones I've seen. Next year, the game could (not saying it will) be very different from how it is now, depending on how much influence the new "father company" have. I really hope that Jagex, as a game studio stay in the UK, and don't forget where the game originated from in terms of its originality.

Now, I'm not trying to promote scare-mongering, doomsaying or anything like that, and I do adapt to change with relative ease. This game has meant a lot to me growing up and I would love to see its continued survival. Janos Morgan of Asgarnia

I am locking this thread as it is now simply turning into speculation and unecessary arguments. We will update you once we have more information for you.

As you can tell, nothing has changed and it remains business as usual for us all here :)
