chaosgone Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 There is a new interview with Andrew of Jagex today. http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/game ... 4608.shtml The highlights of the interview are: - They have 300 people working on development and support of Runescape. - They have no plans to add in-game advertising. - They have other games in development but are very aware that they shouldn't lose focus on advancing and growing RuneScape. - "We are not currently planning on doing a console version of RuneScape in the immediate future but it is something that we are watching and when the time is right we might move in that direction." http://www.chaosgone.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordjake Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Oh wow, I used to subscribe to that magazine. I wonder if that interview would be in the print version as well. Andrew didn't really say anything too surprising in the interview that we didn't already know, but it's good to see Runescape is getting a good amount of attention.

NinjaChicken Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 wow well doe for finding that! did you read what he said??: "We are not currently planning on doing a console version of RuneScape in the immediate future but it is something that we are watching and when the time is right we might move in that direction." He was talking about the thought of putting Runescape on a home console! wouldn't that be great?! playing RS on my shiny new Wii :D (well i guess its not new anymore :? ) [/bads] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopianflame Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Cool! Nice find.....wow 300 developers! RS is so hard to manage It's 300 staff total I think, theyve been on a recruiting drive then, the last time I check they had ~220 staff. This personally gave me a laugh though hopefully staying ahead of the demands of our gamers. there are no stupid questions just way too many inquisitive idiots balance is scary to people who like things easy for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzuh Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 1 million paying customers. That is 3.2 million in british pound... Something like 6.5 million in american dollar... A MONTH. 3.2/6.5 Million a MONTH! Lots of profit! I highly doubt even 1/6 of that goes towards the updates in a month. 300 peoples wages though.. Hmm. Probably about a Million in wages a month. That's a lot of cash for the main men! :lol: Currently not active on RuneScape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
