Melencholy Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 like the topics title says, runescape has a slightly different homepage now and... its a giant add for some disney game. and apperently a book series too. oh. topic on RSOF by Mod Jon H Hi everyone, Some of you will notice that the main RuneScape homepage is currently displaying a Disney "Kingdom Keepers" backdrop. Here's some information for you: * Kingdom Keepers is a series of books published by Disney/Hyperion Books; * The Kingdom Keepers background is not being displayed in every region so you might not see it at all; * The advertising campaign will be running over the weekend and should end at the beginning of next week; * This isn't a 'crossover'. We are not affiliated with Disney or the Kingdom Keepers series, and we won't be incorporating any Disney content into RuneScape (nor vice versa); * The promotion is principally to advertise the book series. The Kingdom Keepers site does contain a promotional tie-in web game but it is not an MMORPG. We've noticed quite a few different threads talking about this. We have no problem with you discussing this advertising campaign on our forums, but we would prefer it if all the discussion were kept to this thread only, please. This will help us assess our community's opinion about the ads (since it's more efficient for us to read one long thread than find lots of shorter ones) and it will also help to keep the forums clutter-free. Thanks, Mod Jon H and the Jagex Community Management team Questcape first achieved: Sept 20, 200999 agility march 11th 201099 Magic - some point in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 But if tip.it advertises anything even remotely resembling a game, Jagex removes us from the list of allowed sites and stops providing us with custom content, not that I've seen any yet. What a load of [bleep]ing hypocrites. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zilla Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Good thing it last for only a short while, I wonder how much revenue Jagex is getting from this. Lets hope this doesn't lead to other Disney affiliated things... *Cough* Disney advertising Runescape *Cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm in Canada and I don't see it either. Must be just for you lucky Americans. :lol: Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

Mike_Ike111 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm so glad I lost hope in Jagex a long time ago, because if I'd still have been playing this game this advertisement would have led me to quit. You know Jagex is going downhill when their whole mainpage turns into an advertisement for a kiddy game and book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xSxqPowerx Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ha. Weird. Don't see it here. To be fair though, I've read the first book of that series and it's actually not bad. Still really strange that they're doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtaurian Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I don't even know what to say. Also, it might just be my computer or browser, but the faces of the mage and warrior are distorted. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilla Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Disney? Wtf??? Like i said .. :mellow: What has Jagex gotten themselves into .. Indeed. Still, think of the money they could potentially be receiving which would lead to more updates. I just pray it won't lead to a Miniclip type of deal.

Still, think of the money they could potentially be receiving which would lead to more updates. I just pray it won't lead to a Miniclip type of deal. It is amusing to argue with 12 year olds though. :) Yesterday one asked me if I played RuneScape all the time because I was level 137 and he was 95. This eventually led to "well I am better than you at life". That made my day. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler.
