Recently, the folks at Jagex had outlined their newest visions for the future of their free-to-play, browser-based MMO RuneScape. Afterwards, they encouraged any questions from the community, to get a better feel for what the players want or may be most concerned with. Little did they realize that they would receive nearly ten thousand questions from fans of the game.

So on the official RuneScape forums, they took 130 of the questions and answered them the best they could in a post that has reached 125 pages of responses so far. Some of the questions are game-related, but most in this batch are company-related. Jagex didn't simply answer the easy fanboy mail either, as you can see in even the first few responses. Check out the complete Q&A post by Mark "Mod MMG" Gerhard (and the 125-pages of responses!) as well as the newest Q&A follow-up concerning the Wilderness and real-world trading.

I almost pissed myself laughing when he said the game is for adults...... I seem to remember an interview last year where it was specificaly stated that the target audience is 12-16 with 13-15 being the real sweet spot. And ANYONE that has been in the community can tell you as much......

can all items sell faster for people who need money and could you make it so u only need 150 music to get air guitar because air guitar is like members cause on non members u can only get 162 or something like that.ty
