March 14, 200620 yr 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...

March 14, 200620 yr how much did jagex pay them? :roll: What could it be, 10000 ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã? Andrew Gower or some Jagex staff probably could've written it themselves and published it for a small fee :P Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.
March 14, 200620 yr 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 |
