Just read the article, apparently they met with a company about selling the game

The world would be a whole lot better if little green men in UFO's came down to earth to abduct rednecks.

They'd never sell runescape...

I don't think they would. They may come close to making a deal but then they would realize what kind of a mistake they are making. 50 Million dollars a year is a lot of money...

122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength

97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting

some people are really getting off topic with this black party hat thing.

Why in the Fergie would they sell Runescape? They got like over 1 million paying members monthly. So let me calculate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1,000,000 times $5/month = $5,000,000

 

 

 

$5,000,000 times 12 months = $60,000,000/year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as they add more servers, they get more members, new members, and yeah. They're not going to sell. :P

cgknightofroundsorigina.jpg

99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer

This makes me wonder, why am i spending tons of hours playing a game, that will be going downhill in a few years?

 

 

 

Thats life actully. Why try hard to go to college and have a job when you're just gonna die eventully.

Hacked on January 5, 2007 --> Lost: 56.4M, Santa Hat, Purple Partyhat, Green Partyhat, Christmas Cracker

people who get rich and do it legit like joob and I always get f'd over in the end.

They may delete alot of the stuff that we like. ( or dislike ) Though they may make it better :-k

As long as they don't do anything to the 'tradeble' discontinued items I'm fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-in terms of properties (tradeble or not, colour, amount, price, if they will even still exist, etc.)

Ok they make 50 million dollars a year but what happened if somebody offer 150-200 million and still kept all the staff that runs it right now and payed them good. They would sell it if they got the right amount of money. If it did get sold it would go one of two ways it would be a success and it would become huge or it would flop downhill.

That's no different from how it could go now, isn't it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides, they wouldn't touch discontinued items because they'd find out (as jagex did) that it'd cost more money than it's worth, will all the pissed of players that quit because they ended up losing millions of game money.

That's just rumors. JAGeX would never sell RuneScape.

Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak

it says that they met the company around the release of rs2 when " it was going down hill" well, yeah it did, i quit rs for a year cause rs2 graphics were horrible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but now it's at one of the strongest points it's ever had, I very much doubt it will be sold until there is no support, or andrew and paul are old and grey.

They will sell it but after 3-4 years maybe.Just look at f2p(scamers,autores,lures,ect.)they do nothing to stop them.So many ideas to stop them but they dont acept them.About p2p.There is planty games with better graphic which doesnt need to pay.Now is new game MOO which doesnt need to pay anything and it has better graphic like 100 times

 

 

 

then Runescape.only thing to play is to download it,and people has more

 

 

 

beter and better internet so they can download big things,When on

 

 

 

Runescape main page says :"210000 people play"

 

 

 

actualy that mean 110000 people plays,other is autores,they sistem is bad and need to be updated.They need to conect thers servers.They dont cear about us,they cear about money they recive,and after they stop reacviring money they will sell it to other company and made new MOO

Pretty much what Dragon said.

Thread terminated.

I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator?

 

No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.

If the game was that bad (unbearable bad) people wouldn't play. I think they do need feedback and they do need a few things to improved, but I'm not going to come out and say how terrible the game is because that just isn't true. Yes, i can say that the amount of scammers, autoers and just generally rude people is too high (ie. greater than 1), and people probably will leave the game if it gets higher but that time hasn't really come yet. Getting rid of these people is actually a fairly hard task (doing things like employing 1000 more mods just isn't feasible). But obviously they keep enough people happy that they arn't quiting their memberships by the thousands (it's not exactly cocane either). The fact that there are enough games out there that are better just reinforces that.

A question arises though, why would the Gower Brothers want to sell Runescape? Is there something on the horizon that they can see or predict. Runescape alone makes $50 million dollars US in Annual revenue. Things have been going good so far, as well as striking a multi-million dollar deal with Pay Free advertising company, but maybe the problem isn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t outside of the game̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ
