On Australia newspaper yesterday:
http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/games/blogs/screenplay/turning-gamers-into-gamblers-20120620-20obm.html

The article isn't very well written (specifically when it mentions Runespan) but controversy over SOF is now on official media, wonder if it will finally cause some turmoil to jagex?

RS isn't popular enough for it to take a hit by what the media write and I dunno how big that newspaper is in Australia, but in England it would take a much bigger story for Jagex to get into a respectable newspaper imo.
Player base is far too low for anyone to really give a shit.

rs is top 3 mmorpg in terms of player.


Jagex just think their audience is all 12 years old, when infact most of their faithful users "from 04-07" era are now all adults if not older.

Which is why they give out such bs when they first said "most members enjoyed the squeal of fortune" aswell as all the stuff they said on botnuke.

I literally laughed when MMG said 90% of players enjoy SoF. The fact that people use something that is shoved into our faces at every step of the game doesn't mean we enjoy it.

I'm going to dig up the post where he justifies the squeal. It's disgusting.
