June 23, 201313 yr http://www.reddit.co...first_overseas/http://www.ft.com/cm...l#axzz2X4AKUCur Although Jagex’s games are free to play online, about a fifth of its customers pay for premium membership. As a result, Jagex’s revenues were £53m in 2012, up from £32.9m in the nine months to the end of 2011, generating a pre-tax profit of £9.7m and a £10.9m increase in its cash holdings to £21.8m. North America accounts for about two-thirds of those playing Jagex games, while a quarter are in the UK. Most of the remaining 10 per cent is split between other EU countries and Australia.

June 23, 201313 yr The Cambridge-based company, whose flagship role-playing title RuneQuest has more than 200m participants worldwide, has signed a publishing deal with Brazilian internet service provider UOL for Portuguese-language versions of its games. Just when you think Jagex's mainstream press coverage has started looking better, the Financial Times calls Jagex's flagship game "RuneQuest." :?
June 23, 201313 yr A company improved it's profits, the press got it's information wrong... All seems right here.

June 23, 201313 yr Well that looks much better than the last report. So if you want to keep playing RuneScape, good news! "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art? --- My blog here if you want to check out my Times articles and other writings! I always appreciate comments/feedback.
June 23, 201313 yr Probably some journalist that played RuneQuest in the 80's, was writing this article and remembered the game as Rune...something... and remembered 'Oh yeah! It's called RuneQuest!'. My blog
June 23, 201313 yr Well that looks much better than the last report. So if you want to keep playing RuneScape, good news! Oh please everyone knows runescape has been dying for over 10 years. I am not a skiller, but i do some skills.

June 23, 201313 yr I don't see why Jagex needs that much profit... to me it sounds like there's another five million pounds that should be put into making EoC good :(.

Can't think of many businesses who aren't profit oriented. [bleep] OFF HOW ARE U SO [bleep]ING LUCKY U PIECE OF [bleep]ING SHIT [bleep] [bleep] [wagon] MUNCHER
June 24, 201313 yr I don't see why Jagex needs that much profit... to me it sounds like there's another five million pounds that should be put into making EoC good :(. Would you say that they should hire 20 or so devs for a year then fire them after EoC is "finished"?....yes? i mean if you get them to actually put some freaking documentation in this time
June 24, 201313 yr Would you say that they should hire 20 or so devs for a year then fire them after EoC is "finished"? They'd hardly be the first company to hire contract employees and then let them go when the project was finished. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

June 24, 201313 yr So SoF and Trollomons works then. Good for them. Pity we wont really see much of it reinvested into RS really. The business partners and shareholders etc will be happy though... That's the main thing right? :) Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D
June 24, 201313 yr Would you say that they should hire 20 or so devs for a year then fire them after EoC is "finished"?They'd hardly be the first company to hire contract employees and then let them go when the project was finished.But doesn't Jagex use a proprietary coding language? I don't know how different RuneScript is from other languages, but training 20 contractors would be a significant investment in itself.

June 24, 201313 yr 20 dev's would be outsourced to india and make like 20K a year, so that would be 400K USD not 5M Euro
June 24, 201313 yr I don't see why Jagex needs that much profit... to me it sounds like there's another five million pounds that should be put into making EoC good .

June 24, 201313 yr So I guess SoF/SGS won through for the most part. I remain hopeful they keep to their word on things such as potential candidates for these programs being less-than-likely content for the game. I really do like the whole 'tribes of djinn' and would love to see them I runescape. Maxed [February 14, 2012] | Completionist [October 25, 2012] | Trimmed Completionist [in Progress]Visit my Blog!
June 24, 201313 yr I thought they were almost bankrupt with the amount of RWT shit they've put into RuneScape.
