Jagex butchered the good old runescape with eoc. not to mention countless other updates that killed the game and left it wounded and bleeding out *** playerbase slowly dieing just a matter of time before rs dies*



Can the Chinese company do much worse? doubt it. if anything it could bring MILLIONS of new Chinese players to the game, keeping the game from its slow death.
-I am the chosen One-

-Trusted and legit-

-Fear no evil, for they are the broken Ones-

rofl exactly what i was thinking....

2 or 3 years from now this forum going to be up because Russia or some other country is buying out Jagex again and how much we love the Chinese now ect...

Maybe it'll go the the French next who knows but each set of owners bring in what they want from runescape at the end of the day.

I can't believe some people here actually think Jagex aren't lying when they claim this thing will be perfectly fine. Jagex is one of the least honest companies in the world.

Here's a selection of just a few of the lies Jagex have told us before:

- that they would never require e-mail registration for RS
- that it would never be possible to buy XP and GP in RS
- that they would never introduce any more tradeable items that would be discontinued
- that it would never be possible to buy XP or GP in OSRS (XP is still impossible, but buying GP is possible because of bonds)
- that Solomon's store would only sell purely cosmetic items (promise broken with boss pets)
- to reduce the rate of SoF promotions (they quickly became MUCH more common right after that promise, and still are through TH)
- that Legacy Mode combat and EoC combat would be nearly equally powerful (EoC mode is about twice as OP)

(Inb4 forum ban for pointing out too many Jagex lies in one post, as that has happened to me before...)

Large take-overs of foreign entities by Chinese companies has been going on since 2015 and is escalating drastically much like was seen by Japan in the 1980's before their market bubble popped.

With the inevitable degrading of the Chinese currency by the gov't any companies that can ( ie those with massive cash on hand ) are acquiring outside investments at an alarming rate in an effort to protect their wealth.

"Synergy" of mergers no longer applies here. They have no interest in what the acquired company does - it is just a vessel to hold wealth.

"Big Money gets on China's Lifeboats" is also a very informative read, found in Bloomberg. A trillion dollars left China last year in overseas investments and 2016 is already far outpacing that. Offers at 50-200 % above value are normal, even into the 10's of billions of dollars, General Electric Appliances, hotel chains, cruise ship lines are all being gobbled up in attempts to get the money out of the country while they still can ( and while it is still worth something ).

What happens in 1-3 years time , when the Chinese market bubble explodes and, like Japan, investors lose everything ( due to debt ratios ) - that is what the real unknown is for the future of this game.

I made almost the exact same point on page 13. If the takeover goes ahead then no Jagex staff can tell us what will or wont happen as they'll have no power whatsoever so them making false promises and/or giving false impressions is ludicrous.

STILL complaining about EoC after almost 4 years?
Why are they even still playing the game?
You have Legacy and OSRS. Even RSC is open again. Darkscape ran for a while.

I can assure you, it's not healthy to carry a grudge for that long.
It's not like Jagex did a form of physical or emotional/psychological abuse to you over a long period of time.
It's not like they stole thousands of dollars from you or crashed your car or stole your bf/gf.
It's not like they even stole your lunch.

It's a game.
You made the choice to play.

If you don't like the game anymore. Especially after THIS long ... go play something else.
Or grow up.
Or go seek psychological counseling.

This is a 2 sided relationship.
You and JAGEX.
Jagex has indicated it won't or can't change.
If you were dating someone and you gave the ultimatum "change or I leave", and they refuse to change ... wouldn't you have ended the relationship or changed yourself to continue?
It's one or the other kiddo.

If they have your email and runescape ********, it is potentially something they can use against you in the recovery process.

I would not entertain any offers from any Chinese Company, just look at the buying-spree they are on lately , in fact they're over-bidding just to become owners of the biggest companies, hotels and homes here in America...
bottom-line, however-the-greed for monies is, be very cautious, they will have the best coding, the best game, the personal information for every account, and remember you are NOT dealing with people that are from a fair country to their children.
