Hey guys, I'm going to let you all in on a secret Jagex don't want us to know /ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> ssshh
Introduction: I'm going to tell you as much as I'm aware about MechScape at this time, each information I pass to you will have a source area which is where I found it and how I know it's real. So let's get started already!
Jagex have been designing this secret game since 2004, the game is based on outer space - Sci Fi technology.
Jagex Vacancies As most of you may have checked out some time, on the Jagex website they have an area for job offers to the public. But did you ever get to catch this job:
Jagex Domain Names What are domain names? These are "www.google.com", "www.runescape.com" and "www.runeology.com". Jagex have registered alot of domains in the past few years, alot with the name MechScape!
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.
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.
