Wow! These people must see alot of potential in Jagex if they're willing to invest such hefty sums.

Wonder how this will effect The game now.

Thanks Jakee.

I guess Jagex is doing pretty well then?

I wonder how much of that $500 million is invested in Jagex. I'm guessing it's in the 10's at most.

Zumba is huge, don't count it out yet. I think of the 15 girls I know who actually go to a gym, 5-6 of them are enrolled in a Zumba course.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but isn't Powerbot hosted or licensed (or anything related) in China?

Ikr? Remember this quote:
The Squeal of Fortune (and, to a lesser extent, Solomon’s General Store) has always been a heated topic of discussion. I won’t sugar-coat this: these additions were - and are - vital for growing RuneScape. They allowed us to double the size of RuneScape’s team and keep up the near-weekly game updates. Also, we've put the money we've earned from these back into RuneScape technology and infrastructure, with the focus on tackling lag, improving audio and graphical quality. You'll see these big investments really coming into play in 2013.


Nice lie, MMG.

That's great they've tackled that. Does anyone else have less lag?

I've never experienced lag from any runescape servers, no matter where in the world or what language

I only have lagg when playing on servers across the world especially New Zealand and Australian ones. But I haven't been in those for a few weeks/months so I might just try them out to see if the lagg is less for me.
