What are your guy's thoughts??

 

Apparently the deal is still in the early discussion stages - here's an official statement by Jagex: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?14,15,354,65764827. I am almost certain that it will go through though.

It's too early to say whether this could be a good thing or not, but looking at how massive the Chinese MTX market is, I'm leaning towards it being the latter. If they end up introducing MTX into OSRS I'm definitely out - I'm REALLY hoping it's just left alone.

Really hope the deal doesn't go through but I have a feeling that it might.

Buy gold from Jagex in 1m increments when?

I'm hoping if the deal goes through this will haev little impact on OSRS. As an iron man, who doesn't care about high scores or MTX (I wouldn't purchase any) I really enjoy playing the game by myself and so I don't know if would change anything for me personally, but time will tell.

Amazing. Anyway, let's see if anything changes in Runescape..

If Shandong Hongda buys, it would be a huge mistake. Insight Venture Partners would have made a fortune ruining RS and Shandong Hongda would overpay massively.

inb4 huge crack down on rwt for any one that doesn't rwt though the china company lol

They mention zeah, are they planning on putting zeah into rs3 as well? like they did for osrs? If so it's going to be incredible to see how they build the city in rs3 compared to osrs

Will be interesting to see what comes of this deal

Jesus Christ, this is the end boys. gg all the hours you spend on your accounts, now you will be able to purchase exp lamps and gold straight off the new owners.

I want to throw up a bit, fuck this game.

Good fight osrs, soon you're going to be able to buy maxed accounts straight off jagex

I don't think, or at least I hope, this will be the case. I hope they understand that they're profiting enough from what they've been doing. Like I said though it won't change my view of the game. I'll solo my iron man regardless of who the shareholders are.

well shit. That sucks. It had to end some time huh boiz?

So an iron-mining and steel smithing company wants to buy Jagex. I knew 99 mining and smithing will be of use some day.

 

[str1ker]

this should be interesting

 

[Visser11]

Dam thats su..
When we know the outcome?
This is the biggest mistake ever from jagex!

 

[RHG_Merz]

Sell everything while you still can

 

Quick everyone dump your gold xD

 

I've never been a fan of jagex but I'm uneasy about this. I dont play the game personally but I do use the market for profit. China is all about profits and I'm fairly certain they'l turn runescape into this picture http://imgur.com/QaSWZC5
What I am curious about is rwting and games of chance. China generally doesnt give two fucks about cheating or gambling. I'd be interested in seeing if staking clans in 07 could return or possibly flowers?
