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

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.

Adblock Plus makes it just look blank in the background. Instead of the Dungeons of Daemonheim picture, it's nothing but black. :thumbup:

 

It's not on the browser or game app here in ireland. Guess it might just be for americans.

 

Lucky you.

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*

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...

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.

Disney would probably not want to advertise Runescape because it has drinking and killing in it, and you know how good and wholesome Disney has been since its National Socialist years. ;)

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

When I first look at it, I thought it was RuneScape Disney/RuneScape Kingdom Keepers. *Cough lol*

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.

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.
