April 28, 200521 yr if the guy wanted to say euro, he would've have written ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì, not $...
April 29, 200521 yr wellll we could allwasy go play another game :lol: but runescape wont end anytime soon, its making a ton of money now... Yes I am a girl. No, I won't be your girlfriend. :oops:
April 29, 200521 yr I'd give RuneScape another 2 years. By then, it'll be so easy, people would be going from 1 to 126 combat and 1 to 1k skill total in only a few months. Not to mention the fact all the old players (past legends, and people playing now) would be gone. All that will survive on RS in its upcoming future will be scammers and noobs. :roll: . RS Name: Zibl || Click Signature for my RS Life Story![ 87 Combat ] [ 1240 Total ] [ Ex-RSC Professional Merchant ]12.20.01 - 10.5.05 || Status: RetiredTotal losses in 5 years = just over 630 million gp (BILLIONS in today's prices)
April 29, 200521 yr Somewhere from 2 - 4 years is what I give rs.. That should be the time, the 'new generation' mmorpgs will come... With much more dynamic content then found in any mmo's now. The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 70 billion+.
May 1, 200521 yr man life will suck when iit does. wat will i do wiht my life? Get either a motor vehical and do donughts or get a freakin GF. And when RS will end? That's a scarry thought. I wont exactly miss the game, but the people who play it that have helped me over the years. The people is why I play, not just the game. When, well we'll just have to make the best of our days untill that happens, whenever it happens. To stand in the valley of death is one thing, to not have been able to stop the chaos is another.
May 9, 200521 yr what i meant by that if a virus could hit microsoft that means it could hit any one because most of the time if a virus i sent to mircosoft it would usually just bounce off it for a virus to be that strong would have to be made by idk A.I. we are talking about RS not Microsoft there buddy....
May 10, 200521 yr well its like..... if theyd make morrowind oblivion multiplayer itd take over the world..... as it is oblivion will rule with its new AI system and graphics it will have. but RS will be around for a while.. old school RSers will prolly still play but stay in hidin :wink:
May 12, 200521 yr RS is a company they use that as a job to make a living chances are it will be passed down in their family therfor rs will never die. ex: Gladiatorz, The Dynasty, Damage Inc.
May 13, 200521 yr The only way RS will end will be due to a fatal mistake. There are several ways this could happen: a) Andrew dies and someone inherits Jagex with no ambition and the game dies due to lack of originality. B) Andrew retires (or decides he has a big enough pension to retire early) and passes the reigns onto someone with no ambition... (see a)) c) Andrew himself runs out of fresh material, and the game dies d) Andrew can't keep up with modern games' graphics and the game falls behind the standard resulting in no customers e) Andrew makes a stupid mistake like getting rid of f2p or a similar huge-scale mistake These are the only ways I can see RS ending, and sooner or later, one of them will inevitably happen... nothing lasts forever anyway. Iantiger Andrew doesnt really do much of the coding anymore. He hires ppl to do that, and just sits and says what needs to be done. Soon, he would retire and just have other ppl do all the work. Only way it could end is by some time, if graphics advanced to such a degree that it would take jagex too long to translate it's current code into a newer version, then it will end. It took them about a year to do RS1 into RS2 and map was even much smaller then. If they were to do RS3, it may take them 2+, 3+ or even longer due to it's current expansions on maps, NPCs, quests. etc. Out of retirement.
May 13, 200521 yr plus i highly doudt runescape will be gone forever Dude, NO online computer game of today is going to around in a decade or so. ...And this is why? I believe UO and Everquest have been around for roughly Ten years. I was told UO (I think it was ultima oline...I forget..) came out around 93-94. It's 2005 now...That's 11 or 12 years. And Everquest came out a couple years later... And whoever said they're not making millions of dollars...Boy, you're a funny character...200,000 subscribers, $5 a month, thats a million bucks right there. I don't care how much their servers cost, they're making a lot. They have like 30 employee's, whom I'm sure make an average of $30,000 a year...That's $900,000. I'm aware they're in England, I'm not going to take time to translate... just 30 dont thjink so here are the makers of desert treasure The Jagex Team Development Team Lead Developer Andrew G Senior Content Designer Paul G Head of Content Mark O Senior Technical Developer Graham B Upload Manager Ashleigh B Content Team Christopher J Dylan C Ian G James B John A Jonathan S Keyvan B Martin B Simon S Tytn H Uwe B Vincent van M Mini Games Ben D Tom de R Head of Graphics Anthony A Graphics Team James W Joe R Neil R Tom W John S Music and Sounds Ian T Tools Developement Nick T Head of Web Systems Chris S Web Systems Team Francois K Ian D James C B Jeremy A Michael G Rob B Head of Quality Assurance Andrew C Quality Assurance Adam D Benjamin L Chris E Daniel G Martin I Publishing Team Commercial Director Constant T Commercial Assistant Donna O Operations Manager Daniel C Billing Support Rob S Human Resources Andie L Emma N Office Assistant / IT John H Head of Customer Relations Kelvin P Customer Relations Aaron R Andrew D Andrew R Ashley H Benjamin S Brian K Chris M Craig F Daniel H David I Emma V Francesco G Francis B Gareth M Guy V Hitesh S Ian H James H Jay A Jesse B John K Jonathon E Kaiyan E Kevin D Laura O Laura W Marion C Mark R Matthew B Nick H Oliver B Paul M Peter I Philip H Phil T Richard B Rhys J Simon C Stewart A Sudeep B Count and that are like 100?>
May 14, 200521 yr probably when he stops making millions of dollars Firstly, he is english, lives in england and runs an english company, so its millions of pounds, sterling, british money... Secondly i doubt i he makes millions... Not even in turn over... They only charge ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3 a month, thats ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12 a year. Now lets work out the number of members Today is saturday, one of their busiest days World 2 FULL World 26 1951 players San Jose (P1) World 6 1878 players World 42 1131 players Chicago World 58 1177 players World 59 1212 players San Jose (AB) World 9 1132 players World 48 1146 players Seattle World 64 1128 players World 66 1177 players Amsterdam World 53 1090 players World 54 1103 players London (DS) World 16 1979 players World 24 1366 players World 71 1134 players Toronto World 18 1879 players San Francisco (NL) World 21 1168 players World 22 1164 players World 27 1163 players London (JO) World 83 1131 players World 84 1127 players Atlanta World 36 1251 players World 44 1174 players Dallas World 41 1198 players World 46 1166 players Philadelphia World 12 1217 players World 69 1120 players World 70 1105 players St Louis World 77 1121 players World 78 1121 players World 79 1133 players So in total about 35 000 members on atm, and one about one thrid of the others, so in total, some where ranging from 50 - 100000 members. At maximum, 100000 x ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12 is equal to 1.2 million pounds. however, thats not profit, that net income, deduct the costs of running the servers, with over 80 worlds, you are looking in the region of at least 200- 400k a year. Then there are the writers and designers.... they all have wages All these people have to be paid for...

However, taken into consideration that Runescape is the the only game Jagex runs, this money would increase but since RS is their biggest game on can suspect that Andrew does not even come close to making millions ... I thank you
May 14, 200521 yr Secondly i doubt i he makes millions... Not even in turn over... They only charge ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3 a month, thats ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12 a year. Last time I checked we had a 12 month calendar which would translate to ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã36 annually per member, or $60 for Americans. Now lets work out the number of members Today is saturday, one of their busiest days *Lots of worlds and lots of numbers* So in total about 35 000 members on atm, and one about one thrid of the others, so in total, some where ranging from 50 - 100000 members. Quite a range... 50-100000 members. Last time I asked there were nearly 190000 members, just for future notice. At maximum, 100000 x ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12 is equal to 1.2 million pounds. Using the numbers above, it's 190000 x ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã36 (or $60) which is equal to 6.84 million pounds sterling or 11.4 million dollars. however, thats not profit, that net income, deduct the costs of running the servers, with over 80 worlds, you are looking in the region of at least 200- 400k a year. Okay, is that pounds or dollars? either way they've got at least 6 million pounds or 11 million dollars left. Then there are the writers and designers.... they all have wages All these people have to be paid for... *Lots of people (look at his post)* Okay, let's look at the yearly income again... Then there the 2 or 3 owners, the rest gest divided by 3 So when you look at it, Andrew does not make millions and millions of runescape, you are just demonstrating your Nora (A Doll's House) like naivity when you say so. Maybe not millions, but he's not exactly poor. However, taken into consideration that Runescape is the the only game Jagex runs, this money would increase but since RS is their biggest game on can suspect that Andrew does not even come close to making millions ... Andrew does not even come close to making nothing, either.

May 14, 200521 yr Ya, what was i thinking lol, 4 month year *slaps haed* but still, as you proved he doesnt make millions, and that was all i was trying to say. Jagex the company might do, but Andrew himself doesnt. edit, when i wrote 50 - 100000 i meant to write 50k - 100k :P I just find it irritating when people equate Runescape with andrew. It doesnt seem to happen elsewhere, i mean not many people i know thinks that Bill Gates writes all of the windows programs... I bet Andrew does a lot of other things other than RS, it seems that RS ha its own management netwrok, not run by one person but by several lol again sorry for the really silly mistake, ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12, 12 months, i gues thats how it happened :P and i thank you saidin for pointing it out rather than ridiculing me and calling me a "NOOOOOB" "look at him, he cant do maths!" "noooob" etc
May 14, 200521 yr Ya, what was i thinking lol, 4 month year *slaps haed* Hehe, we all make mistakes. but still, as you proved he doesnt make millions, and that was all i was trying to say. Jagex the company might do, but Andrew himself doesnt. Good point! edit, when i wrote 50 - 100000 i meant to write 50k - 100k :P Much better range :) I just find it irritating when people equate Runescape with andrew. It doesnt seem to happen elsewhere, i mean not many people i know thinks that Bill Gates writes all of the windows programs... I bet Andrew does a lot of other things other than RS, it seems that RS ha its own management netwrok, not run by one person but by several lol Another Good Point! again sorry for the really silly mistake, ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12, 12 months, i gues thats how it happened :P Again, we all make mistakes :) and i thank you saidin for pointing it out rather than ridiculing me and calling me a "NOOOOOB" "look at him, he cant do maths!" "noooob" etc Np... I don't like all the people who call each other "n00b" and stuff like that. Anyways, thecreature is right, Andrew doesn't represent the whole company, he makes only a fraction of the income and not millions like some people think (unless he has other income sources).

May 15, 200521 yr what will be really cool is we got nuked by iraq and we never had to play this game again or go on the net again and fight for our lives instead of sitting their like a fat hobo
May 15, 200521 yr okay for us canadains we pay 26 for a 3 month play so it's 104 a year... second i don't thik runescape would end ever unless tehre was a mager crash... for reasons unknown.. 1. when who ever owns the game gets old enought probably would sell it make tons of cash jst selling the program... second the buying would also continue the game on (some big gaming bussiness) so i really can't se it ever ending
