Andrew sells Jagex; has been sold to a US based company.

Gf runescape, good game but your update ... BAD

:( pretty upset to see where runescape is going i thought it was a great game

insight venture partners bought most of jagex a while ago, back in december-january actually.
And it wasnt just insight, there were about 1-2 other investment groups. Their stocks are private, if i reckon correctly

wow lame worth selling tho why its high b4 rs dies..

I didn't even read this thread. I just liked this quote from the article.

Quote:

His mother famously cooked bacon, so Andrew could record the sound. It is still played whenever a Runescape player lights a fire

They update all the sounds except that one. Must have sentimental value or something.

They're DESPERATE.

They put so much money into destroying bots, but what they didn't know was, bots bring in more revenue (Membership) than anything else in the game!

Let's hope everything turns out well with this new corp.

EDIT:

Not sure if anyone knows this, but they've also added video advertisements to free to play players. Every time you hop worlds.

I have herd that the "paying" goldfarmers are using stolen credit card details so at the end of the day Jagex had to refund the money back onto the credit cards meaning they lose money... Don't quote me on that, it was just something I herd.
