h0b0pie Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 That day in world 2: Mod Paypal, the master merchanter. the master scammer :evil: Just watch out, every transaction will now cost you GP. dang, the first mmorpg to tax in game transactions, best balance those business books before the mods come around and send you into RS jail for tax evasion boys. OT: it's both good, seeing as PayPal is still active and hasn't crumbled so maybe he will make a good CEO, but also bad seeing as PayPal have some iffy work practices. #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salim123 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 So will we be paying by PayPal now?

Arilauske Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Am I the only one who thinks that becoming the CEO of a British online game company is a bit of a step down from a worldwide online paying thingy? (How do you describe PayPal???) Not saying Jagex isn't big but I just would have thought that he could've gone somewhere bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuff1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 If I was him first thing I'd say looking at the competition is get rid of the cartoon level graphics if you hope to gain any market share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arilauske Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 If I was him first thing I'd say looking at the competition is get rid of the cartoon level graphics if you hope to gain any market share. The graphical style of RuneScape is great. It's part of its appeal for me and, I'd expect, many others. Besides I don't think that changing the style would help you gain any more market share when, in a game like RuneScape, it is the gameplay which is what keeps people playing.

OldJoe Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Having an experienced business person is Always a plus. Knowing how to work the market, having business contacts etc etc. Although i have some *fears* i still think it is a good move. As long as the Gowers and Tedder still have the control, i'm happy.

x1992x Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I wonder how or whether this'll affect us, will they go more for the short term money success? But it's probably a good deal for everyone. Off topic: 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? yeah denmark have a large rs community. everday there are aleast 3 coms at the libery that are played rs on :D now JAGEX needs to get the eyes up to see they need a danish server :D My private chat is always ON.Winner of The Tip.It Teamcape Outfit Contest!6 years. 1 dragon CS drop and some barrows, bad luck?

hohto Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 So will we be paying by PayPal now? We've been able to pay by PayPal for longer than RS2 has existed. This brings nothing new on that field and only a complete idiot would turn it into PayPal only. Second, they hired a person who has worked for PayPal, not take over PayPal. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I was unaware Jagex was in the running for such a big shot CEO. It iwll be interesting to see where he takes the company, and Runescape, in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordwarior Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 maybe its not for runescape, but for another game jagex is releasing. Maybe its just me, but the lack of a skill coming out for so long, most updates making the game easier, record number of people maxing out. Just think that he's going to run a different game.
