    Default Potential Jagex acquisition

    As you may have seen through online news articles, Jagex is getting noticed. The company is getting attention from the east and the biggest market in the world, China, is knocking on our door. Jagex’s shareholders have received offers of interest and have responded positively to an approach from a Chinese company.

    Jagex is in early stage discussions with the firm in question, but we must stress that they may – or may not – materialise into anything. However, should they come to fruition, it would potentially allow us access to the Asian marketplace to a high level.

    What does this mean for the plans we have for our games and our fantastic community? Put simply, our plans, including the launch of NXT, Zeah, Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, God Wars Dungeon 2, and RuneScape: Idle Adventures, remain on track. It is business as usual across Gielinor!

    Thanks,
    Link to forum thread

    Heh, sounds like RS is going to become one of those Korean MMO's ... they've already got the mundane gameplay, copycat elements of WoW, and the p2w aspects down

    Now all they need is an Eastern parent company!

    Inb4 the company buys into RS, then starts botting, will be like a remake of rsbot when they were owned by a Chinese company running private scripts.

    powerbot was never owned by that company, only sponsored.

    Though I can't speak to the effect or influence that sponsorship may have held...

    It occurs to me that this could be the build-up for an April Fool's joke

    The timing is sorta perfect that they would announce in 2 weeks "it's just a prank bro!". Also with a few funny keywords like "Chineser miner" instead of "Chinese mining company" and "splashes" makes it look a bit fishy. Though it does take some effort to get a name like Shandong Mining to go along with it, it's not like they can throw a random name without repercussions. But it's been reported a lot including Financial Times made an article on it, and a few other chinese papers wrote about it.

    Will be interesting to see how this turns out though.
    Feel free to ask me any questions, I will do my best to answer them!

    As long as they leave OSRS alone. RS3 can die for all I really care...
