Ill elaborate, in case you didn't know.

Due to Chinese law, runescape isn't allowed to be played or developed due to the protection of culture in China. This is due to the lore in runescape and a few other things.

So they wont ever move the game or the developers to china because that shoos themselves in the foot.



ROFL!!!! I laughed so hard at this nonsense. Instead of making up a new "law" for the Chinese government, you might better tell everybody why World of Warcraft is allowed to be played in China, bypassing, "the protection of culture in China"?

D4, if you ignore the rest of the post and take out only what you want. How do you expect to get any valid discussion.

Because the rest of your post is propaganda and therefore not worth consideration for valid discussion.

Literally, your only rebuttal is "you guys are wrong because reasons", which in any debate worth half its ****, does nothing for both parties involved.

Come up with a better argument please. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

Dude.. ROFL

You can't know WHY jagex is being bought but given the adult world, pretty much ANYBODY'S guess would be because the current investors see a way of not only recouping their own investment, but hauling ass on a major profit.

You can look at the evidence and make decisions based on that. What your saying here is that you don't believe china is on a declining economy due to slowing down of manufacturing?
You say "adult world" as if its a separate entity to you. If you are younger, why do you profess to know more about a subject than someone with more experience in these matters?
Because you keep making claims, but not providing any method of thought. You say "you cant know" but then point to money. Your on the right track, its all about money. But its actually very simple. Think of Jagex as your piggy bank. You add an initial sum to it, but don't withdraw from it because you want to save. Then when you have saved enough you open it up to receive your money. That's what's happening here in short.
They are putting their money in Jagex so that they can save its value to withdraw at a later time. There is nothing that suggests they will do anything other than this. If I'm wrong, please provide the information.

As for the conglomerate that will buy Jagex. Which part of it is software development? As a Chinese company, they will fall under the same problems as the yuan drops. So it doesn't change the motivation to move their assets to a foreign country that is protected from the decline.

Can Jagex actively pursue piracy in every country? no. As technology progresses, IP becomes less important unless you can keep others from obtaining it.

The amount of panic and hysteria been posted in the past two weeks… Is surprising amusing I** pretty sure all of Jagex Moderators and employee are reading all this laughing so hard that they are falling over right now… A lot of the stuff is pure speculation except a lot of the people already know that plus a lot of half-truths, guesses and played out fun.

Do I believe they are going to introduce a lot more Micro Transaction in the future? Of course they will how else would they recoup all that $$ I won’t be surprise after June if they even implement a new skill called MTX and you level it by spending $* with a level cap of 120 taking account of treasure keys, bonds, solomons and whatever else they add.

But seriously we don’t know what going to be added what going to be done with the new owners if everything does go through but panicking about it right now isn’t going to do anything or trying to force someone as to what you feel going to happen because everything on the table and no one knows what will be what at the end of the day it’s a waiting game.

Everyone has got different ideas on what going to happen right or wrong we got to respect each other views right or wrong because no one has the right to force anyone without any fact that no one even confirmed or denied… We’re not animals so let treat each other with a bit of respect haha and keep discussing stuff in a civilized manner.


I know it get slightly unbearable when someone is far left or far right >****; At the end of the day it's a game and no one kidding themselves this game is going to be around forever because nothing is around forever and everything has an ending I don't believe this is going to be the end of RS one bit. I believe RS is going to go on for a number of years maybe with MTX leveling involved :P Who knows but I'm taking credit if that a new skill haha.

Dilbert2001 are you aware of the censorship in China? It is quite extensive, you should look into it.

D4, what makes your post not propaganda? Because your not providing any evidence to back up your claims. I have. You can easily look up to verify this for yourself. Can I verify your claims? no. It's information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.

Wrong because reasons is how a discussion should go.
If you have no reason to back up your claim, then you have no claim.

@Hotzone, in a hedge the company recoups their money by selling it. If anything they would want Jagex to be worth more before they sell. And as they paid an inflated price "offer they cant refuse" due to the time involved. It would be unlikely they would do anything that risks that value.

ROFL!!!! You still have not answered the question? What censorship? What Chinese LAW? Why is World Of Warcraft not "censored"?

@Dilbert, WoW must not infringe upon the conditions set by the party. I haven't played WoW so I don't know exactly but I would ask do they have gods or a religion system in place? As this is a very strict thing in terms of censorship.

@Krista, that's because the main negative focus is because the deal is with a Chinese company. There's a lot that people don't understand, and so they fear it. As an accountant, can you please explain how a company hedge's to prevent loss?

And your "evidence" is conjecture for future events. Nothing more.
