RuneScape: Not Just a Kids Game

By admin

RuneScape is a game for people of all ages. Please, think before you say something to hurt an older player.

A word from the CEO of Jagex himself, dated February 9, 2009:

“Another thing that has cropped up in recent times, which we’d like to clear up once and for all, is the common belief that RuneScape is a game aimed at kids. This is absolutely not the case. We can see how this view has fostered, however, thanks to our over-zealous chat filter, Quick Chat worlds, dumbing down of certain bits of humour and storylines, as well as certain areas of the game like the Stronghold of Security, which do provide solid security advice but perhaps come across as a little condescending to the vast majority of our older players. I unreservedly apologise for this and to rectify this we have already removed a number of words from the chat filter and are currently working on reviewing and amending any content we feel is too kid-focused.

RuneScape benefits from one of the most diverse player demographics in the industry and is truly reflective of the worldwide population. As a responsible company we have had to comply with certain regulatory obligations to ensure online safety for any younger players and as a result we introduced Quick Chat for players under a certain age, but this was to meet our legal responsibilities rather than who the game is designed for, its probably also worth noting that we have a total of 4 Quick Chat worlds in a total of 165 RuneScape worlds. As I said earlier, we are gamers at heart and we try to design games and content which we ourselves would enjoy playing. Im an active RuneScape player and Im ever so slightly over 21 :)

Thank you to everyone who has supported this video in any way. You are all helping to bring an end to this destructive ageism that crept into our RuneScape community. :)

    The point is that runescape ; the majority of the players are 11-16 , of course in every MMORPG there is going to be a number of 18+ players and a number of younger players. Aswell as, most (not all) but most, runescape players do have lifes, idk where people come up with people play runescape and thats ALL they ever do.
