Chaos_Reborn Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 LOL, what if Jagex paid BBC to publish an article like this to increase their publicity and also get more members? :lol: Anyways, the bad thing is that those people who play RS do sports less... and we all know what that leads to...

Potter_Pkr Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Very interesting article. For once something good about Jagex. I found it quite funny about the people staring at the waterfall all day. But all in all this is very good for Jagex. Retired 8th October 2007 | 99 Fishing | 99 Cooking | Owner of a Red Mask and 2 Santa Hats | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
