...Think it might be there attempt at bringing RS to another platform? Another FunOrb game?

[dbzman912]

Sounds like a funorb game to me, though who knows.

[Draconic]

SOunds like another platform to me, but I have no idea.

[Tecmaster]

This sounds like a new platform but if it is we won't find out for a long time. The fact that they have a domain name registered now would mean that they plan to create and entirely separate website for whatever this is, something that has never been done for any funorb game. Also the number of categories the patent is filed for would indicate that the idea is on the platform scale. However, were not going to find out what it is for a long time due to the fact that if they just filed the patents for it and registered the domain this is still in the concept stages of development forget coding and engine development along with all of the other steps that go into making a game.

 

Happy Speculating :smile:

Actually, Jagex have registered domains for most of their FunOrb games. Most just re-direct to the FunOrb site but then they are working on sites like http://www.arcanists.com/ that operate as mini-sites for specific games (as mentioned by Mod Sallyd on FO QFC 7-8-620-31338).

Oh wow I've never noticed that before. Wow, I feel like a noob. Anywho, I still think from the number of classes that the patent covers that it would be a new platform.

Anywho, I still think from the number of classes that the patent covers that it would be a new platform.

They registered it for classes 09 16 25 28 41 which is the same as for RuneScape, FunOrb, Jagex, Stellar Dawn, Arcanists, Steel Sentinels, Armies of Gielinor, Kickabout League, Bachelor Fridge, etc. The only trademark I can think of which doesn't follow that pattern is their recent one for " HACK IDOL" which is just Class 41 ("Organising and arranging of competitions for developers of computer games programs...").

 

Note: This is a trademark (protecting an identity/brand). It is neither a patent (protecting a process or composition of matter) nor a copyright (protecting creative works / content). However, all three are forms of intellectual property.

I hope they aren't going to start charging us for Wallpapers..Though I wouldn't be surprised.

The patent vs. trademark thing was just me paraphrasing

 

I didn't realize how extensive the trademarks on fun orb games actually were. And looking back I think that it might actually be a fun orb game seeing as that they are still in the production phase of the Stellar Dawn platform and I don't think that they want to start another platform until Stellar Dawn goes live and is done with development. However with the discussion about the cross system ideas going around it might be an attempt to create a new Jagex game for systems other than PC/MAC. At this point all we can really do is speculate and watch the job openings on the Jagex website and see what shows up there, but as I said earlier it'll be a while before we find out what this is.

Btw Ren discovered Mechscape years ago, if someone can figure out what RuneWizards is about, it's him

[Omali]

I think it'll be a FunOrb title.

 

According to the patented Planet FunOrb Jagex Staff Stalker Tracker 3000 2.0, you can see that there were about 7 unnamed prototype games being developed, as of late last month.

 

Oh and you can find the patented Planet FunOrb Jagex StaffRestraining Order Generator Tracker 3000 2.0 here: http://planetfunorb.com/staff-tracker/

[Den]

Sounds like a FunOrb game to me.

 

Wizard Run 2 anyone? :P

[Racheya]

Definitely a FunOrb game imo. :-k

[Me_Hate_Libs]

I stopped to think about it for a second then realized it's just a name at this point and I don't care to speculate. So I'll throw it out there as a new line of Jagex licensed lingerie. :^_^:

If this is so, I will seriously laugh.

 

Maybe ties? Get your dad a RS tie for Christmas.

I highly doubt this is a new platform in itself. I mean, Jagex is working on Mechscape right now AND keeping Runescape stable AND expanding the attractiveness of Funorb, it seems to me they are simply planning a very large funorb game, worthy of its own t-shirts and wallpapers, etc. But for mechscape, they trademarked all kinds of domain names, perhaps in an effort to slow fansites down from creating an easy-to-remember domain name that ruins all of mechscape. Naturally players will instantly turn to large population websites to excel in mechscape the moment it is released rather than doing a lot of work on their own. It doesn't seem like they put as much effort in protecting Runewizards, all they did was make sure they could create trademark t-shirts and goodies and are able to create the game.

Mechscape was cancelled

 

The Mechscape team was transitioned to Stellar Dawn.

According to Mark Gerhard, much of the content and gameplay was binned. The engine is one of the few things making the transition, and cancelling Mechscape cost Jagex millions.

The mention of Class 28 interests me the most. Possible expansion to the Jagex store?

 

I'm still waiting for my GWD minatures Jagex! :razz:

This is how dissapointment are made: you see a little pointless detail and start making out stuff about it.

 

Then people start to see your posts and tells their friends "Jagex are making new toys, I saw it on tip.it"

 

Then when the day comes and you see merchadish or whatever you and the people who saw you are like "But you (Jagex) PROMISED <this and this> of merchadising, where is it?"

 

They take Class 28 as a PRECAUTION of other people making money of their idea, so you won't see Hasbro (for example) selling runescape stuff without their permission

 

Stop doing something big for something little (Exclamations marks -> Dungeons ring a bell?)

 

And excuse my obviously poor english

The miniatures came into the picture because Jagex were taking suggestions to new store items a while back, and I thought of the mini-Graardor because of the Easter event where there was a Graardor doll.

(The nut sorting machine.)

 

I have no idea what that 28 thing means. :unsure:
