December 3, 200718 yr Today, December 3rd, is Andrew Gower's birthday. Assuming that I remember things correctly, he should be turning 29 today!! (Wikipedia says that Andrew is born in 1979, but some time before his birthday in 2001, he said that he was 22. I remember that, on December 3rd, 2001, Andrew made a small change on RS and said something along the lines of "Today is my birthday, so happy birthday to me and everyone else whose birthday is today!" Unfortunately, no-one seems to have saved that piece of news, so it may have been lost forever, because the Internet Archive is blocked from crawling the RS site.) Edit: I almost forgot, it's Lightning's birthday as well! ARENAscape: Baratus [AS] max hit: 166 with Moon Battle Hammer ixfd64 [AS] max hit: 116 with (untitled spell #2)
December 3, 200718 yr Really, well happy birthday to him then if you're correct. 29 and runs a huge game already. Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.
December 3, 200718 yr Happy birthday :P if he was born in 1979 and the year is 2007 that makes him 28 :-$ 180th to 99 Divination + 1st W36er Rambo, cannot pk call your friends bro :). Wait nevermind none of SAPK/PKS can. Kappa.

December 3, 200718 yr well if i remember correctly, he was among the richest young adults of England, so it would put him below 30, and i also remember reading it was his birthday in 01 or 02
December 3, 200718 yr well if i remember correctly, he was among the richest young adults of England, so it would put him below 30, and i also remember reading it was his birthday in 01 or 02 with the 9 million people who play this game , say only 7 million actually pay the 5$ premium ... I would say he is damn rich ... do the math ... PER MONTH and you know damn well his monthly expenses aren't even close to that. Started January 2001
December 3, 200718 yr Well happy birthday!! :) 29 and a self made multi millionair... and owning one of the best and most played online games in the world.... Cant be bad!
December 3, 200718 yr with the 9 million people who play this game , say only 7 million actually pay the 5$ premium ... I would say he is damn rich ... do the math ... PER MONTH and you know damn well his monthly expenses aren't even close to that. Actually only between 1 million and two million people pay. ;) Happy B-Day Andrew. I'd give you a B-day present, but I can't afford nice things since you took staking away(sarcasm, and no I am not or was a staker).
December 3, 200718 yr Happy bday Andrew :P 3 days before mine (with the obvious age diference :P) Doomy edit: I like sheep
December 3, 200718 yr He's only 29??? Jeez, I feel like I've failed with my life. my g/f birthday is today , 12-3-1978 , and she is 29 ... so... ... So, wait... Andrew Gower is really Andrea Gower, and (s)he's your girlfriend? I'm so confused... or did I read too much into that?

December 3, 200718 yr well if i remember correctly, he was among the richest young adults of England, so it would put him below 30, and i also remember reading it was his birthday in 01 or 02 with the 9 million people who play this game , say only 7 million actually pay the 5$ premium ... I would say he is damn rich ... do the math ... PER MONTH and you know damn well his monthly expenses aren't even close to that. + They pay the incomes of hundreds of employees + server costs etc. He's still a millionaire but its not like he's got his own private Pool filled with $100 bills. Anyway Happy B'day Andrew, I'm sure you're currently crawling the Rs fansites at the present moment searching for any Birthday threads you might find on yourself. :uhh:
December 3, 200718 yr lets say at the 300 employees , 40 hours per week , and a salary of say 40$ an hour that is 480k per week , 4 weeks brings it to 1.92m per month say server costs are hell 1m per month that is 2.92m per month in just overhead. Jagex does NO paid advertising so no costs there. And lets just say according to the 1 previous post is correct that there are 2m paid accounts per month at 10m per month ... that is still 7 MILLION profit. and if his statement of it being say 1m paid account per month , 2 million per month profit. Now I am no genius here , and nor do I know if any of the figures is correct BUT ... DAYAM Started January 2001
December 3, 200718 yr ixfd64 is not mistaken. 1. December 3rd is Andrew's birthday - see http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?news&id=1588 2. On Jul 25th 2001 on #RuneScape MrAndrew said he was the 22 3. So it'd be his 29th birthday Happy Birthday Andrew Christopher Gower! Mechscape World (the original MechScape fansite)
December 3, 200718 yr Happy Birthday Andrew, you're doing pretty good for yourself. :thumbsup: Treasure trail items: 9Dragon drops: 0
December 3, 200718 yr Happy Birthday Andrew! May all autoers stop and rants get lighter. Without you, my life would be different 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!
December 3, 200718 yr It's fantastic that he's a self made millionaire and he's still in his 20s. Hope he has a great birthday. N.B.. maybe that's why BHS hasn't been posted for December yet. Andy is having a day off, and the guys in the office are slacking off ;) ;)

Andrew Gower is really Andrea Gower, and (s)he's your girlfriend? I'm so confused... or did I read too much into that? Err...no. I'm quite sure that Andrew Gower is a male. Err...Dravenstormn?

They really should post these things on the official site. Make a sticky for him on official forums if they havnt. VMeh BlogV >Miscellaneous Goals< http://www.rsbandb.com/sigs/sig108/bazzaminxer.png

DAYAM Server costs are probably more than that, and don't forget that Andrew isn't the only one behind this, Paul is also involved and probably gets quite a large share of it. Their employees make way less than 40$ an hour. They make about 10 pounds an hour (20K a year), on average, which translates to a bit less than 20 bucks an hour. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
