JimmyMcNabb Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 From the tone of the of article quoted, it seems like the CEO is more interested in leveraging the tools and technology that jagex has in developing other games than simply expanding runescape. Let's hope it's just reporter jargon and not a sign of jagex splitting its resources. Jagex is already working on a different game alongside Runescape. They make this openly clear on their corporate site. I doubt the CEO will make a visible change to the playing side of runescape but merely the resource and money side of it.

cotamatias Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I hate PayPal so much, the Customer Service there is beyond bad when you need something quite important done. Been waiting 3 weeks for a reply, sent it a few times even. OT: I hope the CEO helps RS grow and become a more seen gaming site. Qizx2- ArchmagePersonnumber100- Warlock for life.Would you?

Lemurian Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The browser-based game has attracted popularity across the globe with strong subscriber communities in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Scandinavia I never knew there is such a big playing community in Scandinavia, is that true? Yes, it is. It will be interesting to see how this changes things, but a lowering in prize is maybe not quite out of the question. Owner of Quest Cape since 11/9/2007 23:30!

qeltar Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This means Jagex will probably be improving their CS soon :D By hiring someone from a company whose CS is notoriously bad -- only they screw people over for real money instead of pretend gold?

jofrek Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The first thing i thought when reading that article was "OH *expletive* RuneScape is going down the metaphoric plughole" but i hope that i am wrong and that this means the start of greater things for RS :pray: OFF TOPIC @ lemurian: Your avatar should be something more Lemuria themed :wink: but either way Saturos is pretty awesome :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l337ubernoob Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The fact that they have actually attracted an external person as their new CEO at least indicates that Jagex as a company is really beginning to mature. I highly doubt we will notice his influence anytime soon, as most updates are planned way before their release, so what his added value will be for us as players will remain secret for at least another year. I do hope that the Gower brothers will manage to hold onto at least some decision making power, since they probably understand us players a lot better then any outsider could. Dont know who actually owns jagex these days, but if the Gowers still do, theyll be able to fire the new guy if they dont like him anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct term to use is virtual currency. Anyway can anyone say, "Mod Iddison (level-126)"? =D> "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin.

petert1985 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This means Jagex will probably be improving their CS soon :D no. it means the game will get better advertising, thus get more players and have even more work for customer support to do.

InkofDeath Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hopefully Jagex's future is a bright one with this fellow. I do not know him, but being CEO of Paypal, I'm sure he will do a good job. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original CEO - constant tedder has 33% the gower brothers own 66% yeah, being an limited company means the original owners still have some say in who owns shares. Makes sense that the original 3 still have stake in the company. Also means they wont be bought out. OT: This looks like a good thing for Jagex. i've never actually heard of the guy but he seems like he knows his stuff concerning E-business. If i'm not mistaken Paypal have the highest market share in their sector which they would have gained while he was in control. As long as he isn't an all-controlling type CEO it should mean a good future for Jagex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
