UK developer Jagex has announced a major push into the mobile space by bringing both versions of its flagship MMO RuneScape to smart devices. Old School RuneScape, a retro-style affair based on older builds of the online RPG, will be released for smartphones and tablets this winter, with the more modern version of RuneScape to follow at a later date. These are not separate mobile ports, either. Both games will allow cross-platform play with their PC counterparts and will even be interoperable, meaning players can log off from one device and instantly pick up the action on another. We caught up with Jagex's director of communications Rich Eddy to find out more about the studio's strategy and how it is preparing to enter the increasingly competitive mobile marketplace.
The first logical approach is to take the title to mobile because our players have grown up. RuneScape has been around for 16 years. ], and different ways of playing. Some people who were PC players are not now, but we can offer that same experience on a mobile device that people can dive in and out of. We can offer that same experience on a mobile device that people can dive in and out of. We spoke to the RuneScape firm earlier this year about what they're proudly declaring "the Third Age of Jagex" - a term Eddy also drops into our conversation.
It's not just a PR line, as the company is undergoing a significant transformation following its acquisition last year by Zhongji Holding. With fresh Eastern investment in the long-running MMO, is the push to mobile designed in part to appeal to the Chinese market? Eddy says that's not the case, but the home nation of Jagex's new owners has at least validated the British studio's strategy somewhat. While there's proof RuneScape's ambitious new model works in China, there's no guarantee it will be as effective in markets closer to home. The East/West divide is still very much apparent when it comes to games, with countless examples of success stories that have failed to transfer from one side to the other. We haven't looked at the Chinese model and thought 'we should do this' - it was something that was happening anyway, out of pure belief and our own player research.
] has talked about our player research, which is obviously Western folk. 90% of existing players were interested in playing RuneScape on mobile. 65% of lapsed players said they would return to RuneScape if we delievered that game for them on mobile. Because they were playing as teenagers and they dropped it when they got jobs, families and other stuff. You will see RuneScape appearing on many different devices and in different ways going forward, and in different territories," says Eddy. "Now we're part of a Chinese company, there are explorations into what a RuneScape made for China looks like.
To bring in the skills needed to guide Jagex through these uncharted waters, the studio has welcomed back Peter Lovell as director of talent acquisition. He goes on to say that the shift towards mobile requires a markedly different recruitment strategy that Jagex has previously employed. It also brings the developer into competition with the likes of Supercell, Rovio, Gram Games and King when it comes to fighting over the best hires - a challenge he is embracing with gusto. We're very much going to have to rely on a personal, headhunting message and approach, engaging with people using long-term recruitment 'courting rituals' rather than a 'post and hope' recruiting drive.
We're going to have to build out our recruiting function into this bigger global drive into a difficult field where the best people are being recruited by every mobile company out there. We have to make sure our offering as a company is beyond competitive. The RuneScape model of content delivery already fits so well in the mobile market," says Eddy. "It is a constant case of 'what's happening this week? One can only imagine the technical challenges involved in not only getting a PC-based MMO experience up and running on smart devices, but also interacting with the other platform. But Eddy says that readying the initial release has in some ways been easier than you might expect. Eddy also reports the RuneScape team has found no issue with adding new content that runs on both mobile and PC, meaning the MMO's future remains unrestricted.
Mind Bomb (1) or (m1): increases by Magic 2 - 3 levels (It’s random). Again the bad thing about doing this it decreases your Attack (Att/Atk), Strength (Str), and Defence (Def). But that is also temporary. And you cannot take more than one to increase it more. ONLY ONE AT A TIME. 1:swamptar pick it up in the lumbridge swamp. Takes a while but around 70 is about 35k on ge lowest. Not sure if its mems though. You can catch them with the hunter skill. 2k on the ge. Most preferably chopped down near seer's village. Full inventory sells for about65k.
Best place is in fishing guild. You will need to be a member for this, you will also need Cooking Guantlets so you do not burn any fish. At level 93 you can cook Rocktails, but sadly you will burn about half of the Rocktails. You'll need 3,329 rocktails till level 94. After reaching level 94 you MUST wear cooking guantlets, for if you do not, you WILL burn the rocktails. From levels 94-99 cooking you will need to cook 22, 622 Rocktails. Yes I know it is Expensive, but you will reach 99 faster, and you will not burn any unlike: Monkfish and Sharks.
1K-2k In 30 Min. First, buy a brass key at the Grand Exchange. Then go south until you just get out of the grand exchange. Then go west and down a little bit. You will see a little house with an arrow in it. Go into that building and down the ladder. Then go to your south and defeat a lot of hill giants and take the big bones that they drop. To get 9k and more at a time, follow my hint. To get 9k and more, first off, you need 20k or more. Then, if you are a member, buy 3 and more game necklaces. Keep transporting to the Clan Wars and buy as many TEAM-23 CAPES as you can.
Go teleport to Barbarian Outpost. Keep doing this, then on your last try to Barby Outpost, Home teleport or something else to Lumbridge OR Varrock. Sell you capes and this will get you 15k more. The other kind of Team Cape thing, for free Runescape players, go to Edgeville. This requires no teleportation of any sort. Go to the guy who sell capes get a full Intivory, and go to Bank and store. Repeat this, and you will have another 9k in no time. 26 CAPES ARE BLUE! This is for MEMBERS ONLY. If you need food and you have a white apron, you're in luck. Put the apron on and go to Port Sarim.
Go in the food shop (the bread icon on the mini-map), and ask Wydin about the job. Go through the back and you'll find potatoes, raw chickens, an apron (outside the crate), and bananas (after Pirate's Treasure)in the crates. TIP:If you slice bananas with a banana, you turn it into sliced bananas, which heal more. One of the best ways to make money requires lv 75 wc, 85 fletch, and 55 mage. It also requires good axe, staff of fire,lots of nature runes, and knife. Find a mage tree in a desolate (nobody else around) place cut mage logs, fletch into longbow(u) and high alc it.
You get more money from high alcing bows than the nats cost. This can only be done by members. Go to Gertrude and ask her what is wrong. She will tell you that she wants her cat back. Go to the northeast of the wilderness and you will be brought to the broken fence yard. Jump over the fence and go up the ladder. You will find Fluffy (the cat) and try to pick her up. She will swipe you and take your life down. Go back and get a raw fish and a bucket. Go to Lumbridge and go to the cows. Milk the cow and go back to the fence. Give her both and you will think that she is lonely.
