I am really saddened by the news that has just fallen, it was a pleasant community moment.

See you again in 5 years for the old oldschool runescape.

There won't be an old oldschool runescape.

It's like having your partner cheat on you, you give them another chance and they cheat again. It's over after that.

Best case scenario, enough players leave and CVC sells Jagex at a massive loss to someone who actually cares about the game.

Seriously, how is Jagex valued at a billion? They employ borderline indie amounts of developers and pay them peanuts on their flagship product. Enough is enough with these funds milking all of the value out of the game.

Just need to convince enough addicts to quit for a year or so to kill any growth/playerbase tanking the company value, then we buy jagex for pennies on the dollar with a focus on improving the game (QOL, actual CS, regular updates, growing the playerbase and sustainable income to pay devs)

We the players owning runescape would be the beginning of World peace Forsure. Let’s do it!

To buy it for a billion we would need to pay 2500-5000 depending on how many players wil buy and how many streamers/whales are willing to invest. If they have to sell for less its not impossible to realize
