Stop with all the things about how Jagex is so rich and they can't make the game better. The guy above me is 105 combat and 1550+total and is complaining. Anyway, congrats to them because making an online game is not the easiest thing to accomplish, let alone make it as far as Runescape did.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: go jagex. man i mean i never thought runescape and jagex were this big.. then again considering they have millions of accounts made i guess..

Cambridge graduate Andrew invented the popular Runescape game, played online through subscription, which is taking on the sectorÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s big beasts such as Sony. He created the role-playing game while at university and then operated it from his bedroom at his parentsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ house in Nottingham. The brothers own 79% of their company, Jagex, whose ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2.7m profit on ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5.2m sales in 2005 values it at about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã40m. With past dividends, the enterprising Gowers are worth ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã32m.

thats some interesting information you got there.... nice to see people are gettin crazy rich off us playing thier games

:D Much better... :P

strange only 2 entries where a shared wealth is shown could it possibly be they have included the gowers (shared wealth between brothers) simply as an excuse to be able to place the other brothers in there. Some people will do anything to print royal names in their newspaper :wink:

 

 

 

IF and its a BIG IF these lists are supposed to portray any sort of real significance then its a bit of a slap in the face for those below in the list who are worth more on their own. :twisted:

 

 

 

Just my thoughts on some interesting gossip - thanks for sharing to original poster...newspaper whats that?? :shock:

It's just an estimate on how much they own, since they own the shares (I think) they can't say which one's worth how much.

 

 

 

Most of these are just estimates based on what they've been able to pick up.

 

 

 

I advise you all to pick up a Sunday Times just to read through the Rich list, it's quite intresting IMO.

 

 

 

You know Bill Gates is only the second richest man in the world? Last year the person above him (the owner of Walmart) had almost twice as much as him too.

wicky wicky wicked lol darn thats a lot of money. hope i get to meet them one day to say thanks tho

Lol that is brilliant... I was thinking about how rich they must be today actually.

 

 

 

Another good outcome of this is that I can tell my mum and dad and their opinion of RuneScape will rise dramatically lol!

well when 95% of computers use your operating system you stand to gain a bit of money :)

Wow, with that kind of money they can afford not to care about the odd ranting player :P

 

 

 

Good on them though.

Really i see a conversation like this...

 

 

 

Andres: 29 million 200 thousand one hundred 23, 29 million 200 thousand one hundred 24

 

 

 

Paul: Andrew mate we have lots of complaints about macroes what you wanna do

 

 

 

Andrew: Dammit paul i lost count how many times to i have to tell you to not interrupt me with this rubbish while im counting our money.

Wow, I am surprised, but I am more surprised of how high they'll place next year:

 

 

 

Jagex, whose ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2.7m profit on ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5.2m sales in 2005 values it at ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã40m.

 

 

 

5.2m sales (if purely members) / 3.2 (pounds/member) / 12 = 135k members.

 

 

 

Using the past figures, they have obtained at least 500k members, ie, their revenue is at least 4x of 2005 figure...

 

 

 

That means their market cap at 2006 should value at 160m at least. Anyone wanna go buy some of their stocks for me?

I doubt they are a public company, you probably cant purchase their stock.

im not actually that suprised

 

 

 

they have 600k active member rite probably more by now

 

times by 5= $3 million usd a month

 

times by 12=$36 million usd a year so asumming they made 36 usd dollars in the past year (dont now how many punds that is?) they could of made that is 1 and a half years if they didnt have to pay for anything (staff and maitance)

 

Or the credit card companies, pay-by-phone, western union, or any other payment methods.. They won't ever see more then 90% of what your paying per month.. bear that in mind.. And that ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã32m is what they're stake in the company is worth + they money they have..
