Nearly 10m pounds profit - "We don't have the money to add a holiday animation"

For the Americans that is 15,824,000 USD

And all money goes to Insight Venture Partners

Lol.

Actually, they were "out of budget" for graphics for a new halloween event.

But they do have enough money making $olomon/Yelp$ crap. :duh:

15% profit goes to actual game content department, the rest goes to sof/solo department

Rarely any money will go to the actual game itself, when investors come in and buy out a company some will just send their profit else wear

That's really not that much in my opinion. I figured they would have made way more. Very interesting.

Still a nice amount to keep the game running

Here is the amount they donated to US charities and so forth

haha, I was having an argument with a guy about how much runescape makes a year

200k registered, > 50k mems

50k x 12months x $15/month = 9m

wow…thats a low blow

Meh bring on the 2012 report. This isn't very revalant due to the fact we can't compare it with its current state.

Is that the one that Jagex is procrastibating about filling out?

no dividend's were paid. Jagex retained everything. hell knows what they are doing with it. Give a couple uneducated java noobs about £1000 or so and they could probs hack together the same / better SOF let alone 9m loss. this was also way before EOC. IMO company is gonna go down before it goes up again if it does. i really cant understand how they make a 9m loss. it seems purely profitable considering most of there updates are next to dire.

Edit : OP Stated it was a profit?

Just remember they still need to pay workers with that money right?

Wages and salaries were 12m for both period's stated. not a massive price to pay considering one of my points being there updates are next to dire? what will they have to pay them for? reading appeals? making great updates and taking great antibot measures? i wonder how much jacmob gets paid.

They said 2012 was a really good financial year for them…

inb4 they make 100m. not gp, but real moneyssss. i would think the sof/solomon (more of the latter) brought in alot of profits though.

They still haven't filed it/released it yet :/

I was thinking it would be a bigger value :O

Hope they rise their profits in the future!

They suck lol

I'd be happy making that money with such a lack of content in 2011
