likely fewer blue phats than that. Somebody mentioned the street price being 7.5b in our CC the other day. That would make it 65,733 blue phats!
They say they're trying to reach the Asian market, from what I know the Asian market is usually not subscription based but free to play with lots of micro-transactions, curious as to see if Jagex change their payment scheme at all to reflect that, I would be upset if I still played RS.
I'm predicting they go for it and find a way to move RS to mobile
Jagex make more than Runescape, maybe they really like the other stuff? :) Or want Transformers world back haha.
STAY POSITIVE.
