RuneScape Based
"It will be nothing like RuneScape", but we do expect it to be Javabased and skills like RuneScape. It will also be sci-fi with with guns I've read in different places.
MechScape Released Date
Jagex are attempting to release the game early next year.

blablabla ill play rs forever.......never going to go to somthing called "mechscape" lol
great informational post btw -
Thanks for the info, whenever it comes out I think I'll try it, but still fine with Rs for now.
-
Not a space game person and have never considered wanting to play this when it comes out, medieval fantasy is more my style
-
Sounds pretty cool, I would have to check it out.
-
Yeah I'm with Dave on this one
-

-
I know what you mean Gary - after all the work spent on Rs, would it be worth it? o.o
-

UpdateQUOTEWhat's your primary demographic?
GI: RuneScape's demographic is from 7 to 18, with a sweet spot being around 13, 14, or 15. It's 85 percent male, but we're keen to get more females into the game. There's puzzles that are aimed at the female audience, as opposed to the PvP stuff, which is more male-oriented.
After 18 is where FunOrb comes in. People at college perhaps haven't got the time to spend 12 or 14 hours a week out on RuneScape and MMOs, so naturally they'll graduate onto something else. But this is where our new MMOG comes in. We're hoping to collect a lot of those people graduate out of RuneScape to our new MMO.
But we've got a lot of people over 40 playing Runescape; we have whole families playing the game. We have granddads and grandmas meeting their siblings, nieces, and nephews within the game. We want to appeal to the whole. For anyone who wants to play RuneScape, there's something in there for them.
