Will enforcement of the rules remain a priority (banning bots)? MTX is also a huge concern. While I understand it was addressed here I think a more thorough answer is warranted. I hinge on each word and prefacing the question with "simply put, no", raises some concern. Can you expand on that in any more detail? Otherwise, thanks for the update.

Thank you for the update.
I'll be keeping my eye on this and distributing the information to our OSRS FB community (largest on FB).

Can we expect updates with respect to this to be posted via twitter? I'd like to be as up-to-date as possible to quash as much needless speculation among my community as possible.
Misinformation is deadly!

Thanks again

I would expect communication to be continue to be made by the forums first, as we have with the previous two updates. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

So my question about making sure grandfather rates are kept through any takeover got ignored, so i guess it would not be possible to guarantee, i would imagine it is a major question on many peoples minds atm because who would want to start paying x2+ for membership after being given the rate for so long.

I can see people leaving the game they love rather than pay twice as much tbh [qfc id=]whatever[/qfc]

Thanks for the update. It's nice not being left in the dark, especially with news such as this. I realize that the talks are private, but keeping us informed on anything you are able to is always appreciated.

The way the games are run at the moment is working, and for any investor to come in and try to change that around would be ludicrous. I have hopes that everything will remain the same, regardless of the end result.

I hope for the best to come out of this, and speaking strictly for Old School players here, we've seen what happened the last time something like this happened - let's not go down that road again.

The forums don't allow for misinformation through fake profiles unlike Twitter, so I'd have to agree with this practice.

Will this affect the levels of (or add) MTX in the games?

Simply put, no. Our approach to how we charge for the games is based on what we feel is right for each of them and that would stay the same should the acquisition happen. We don’t plan for any significant changes on this front.

Not holding my breath on this issue.

I can't help but notice the answer to will the investors be involved in RuneScape isn't really answering the question.

Will this mean there will be more investment in/a reboot of any Jagex games?

We certainly hope to do even more than this and do more to bring the world of Gielinor to new audiences around the world.


I think I've read all of the posts and I have not seen a single post asking about keyword "reboot" for any Jagex games. Thanks for the breaking news ;)

This is a very specific question, it wasn't ignored it just isn't possible to answer yet. As per the answers above though, it is unlikely that a new owner would influence our decision on this topic.

First of all, thanks for the update.

Original message details are unavailable.
Our approach of putting community at the heart of games development is something we hold dear and has been a massive part of why RuneScape continues to be so successful. If the talks result in an acquisition, we expect to continue with this community driven approach in everything we do.
That's what you expect, but if Jagex as a whole is bought, isn't it true that the new owners can do whatever they want? Of course you guys don't want anything to change (in a game-breaking way, I mean). But once you've been bought by another company, can't they just tell you to do whatever they want you to do? Burp.
