The Jagex Coin (JCoin)?

[KarlMarxx]

I was recently upgrading my accounts to member status when I noticed a peculiar symbol in the upper-right corner of the screen. It was labeled "Jcoin".
I haven't seen it before and the layout to the upgrade page seems to be new (I just renewed last month and it didn't look like this).

I guess my question is has this always been there?

Proofs:

Could this mean, based of picture 1, that in the future they will be offering new things to purchase like in-game gold? Me thinks so.

i think itll be for the other games not runescape itself

 

[Jeezal]

Its for Funorb aint it?

 

[Coinshare]

It's for War of Legends, or whatever that game is called.(go to jagex.com and you'll see)

 

[cotonpk3r]

doubt they'll ever offer RuneScape items this way.
especially because there so anal about RWT.

 

[WeRnIE]

It's because Jagex have many games now, it is done to make it simply, not like Funorb+RuneScape+War of Legends membership package, you buy the credits and spend them wherever you want.

If you have been aware of the main page like I always do, just a few days ago, they had suspended membership extensions, and the reason was that they were implementing these new Jcoins stuff.

And no. They won't sell gold. I won't expect that when they are banning RWTers and all that. Won't they be so called "RWT" themselves if they do?

What are JCoins?

 

[ShockWaveee]

They will never sell gold. The entire game will lose any integrity it has if they do, and I'm sure they know that. White knights (do gooders) will quit because they don't want to be here if they're going to allow RWT. GP will be worthless, they would essentially just be spawning GP every time a person buys GP.

If you actually think about it, it makes no sense. The game will literally die if they started doing that.

 

[TahBreezy]

Yeah that's an another Funorb game.

1. What are JCoins?

JCoins are Jagex's virtual currency. Once purchased using any of our supported payment methods, JCoins can be used to pay for Jagex content and virtual goods such as WoLCash.

I've never played WoL but I highly doubt it gives a considerable/comparable advantage over others as it would if you bought RSGP. I stand by my original statement that they'll never sell RSGP/items/stats/characters.

 

[Why So Serious]

jagex will sell gold in the future

watch and see

 

[RaquoKiller]

RuneScape would die if Jagex sold Gold for cash, economy would be even more in shit likes its becoming now, save it to Sythe to handle Real world trading lol.

 

[xi momo xi]

Jagex might be sellouts, but I doubt they would ruin Runescape completely by selling gold themselves.

 

[KarlMarxx]

If Jagex were to release the sale of gold, you will also see the creation of new huge money drop skills/minigames to remove the new gp.

 

[Pure nitros]

don't ever expect them to sell rsgp lol

Thanks for the link.

Interesting read / gives insight.

 

[Dehryl]

Well I'd be damned the day Jagex introduces microtransactions to RuneScape.

 

[I Got Munnyz]

jagex will sell gold in the future

watch and see

Highly doubt that, gp currency will go low and everyone will stop playing
