An Open Letter to Jagex and CVC Capital Partners
Ka Ti and one other reacted to Ghost Sabre for a topic
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ghost Sabre Leader of the Wilderness Guardians discord.gg/wg - ghost.sabre 17 January 2025 Subject: Safeguarding RuneScape’s Legacy and Your Investment To the stakeholders of Jagex, Runescape, and CVC Capital Partners, I am writing to you as a long-standing member of the RuneScape community, an essential audience for the success of the game and, by extension, your investment. RuneScape’s enduring legacy as one of the most popular and long-lived MMORPGs is built upon its loyal player base and straightforward membership model. However, the proposed introduction of a convoluted pricing structure risks destabilizing this legacy, which could have far-reaching consequences for your recent IPO valuation. As you are aware, CVC Capital Partners recently went public on the Euronext Amsterdam amid a boom in European IPOs. With shares rising from the initial offering price of €14 to nearly €22, the market has expressed confidence in your ability to grow assets like RuneScape. However, this confidence hinges on maintaining the integrity and sustainability of your portfolio investments. Missteps, such as alienating RuneScape’s core audience with a confusing pricing model, could erode player trust, tarnish the franchise's reputation, and negatively impact shareholder value. RuneScape’s community is not just any player base; it is composed of highly invested individuals, many of whom—like my clanmates and friends—have been playing since RuneScape 1 launched in 2001. This group endured significant moral injury and cognitive dissonance during the release of the Evolution of Combat, a period that strained relationships between the company and its players. The healing that has occurred over the past decade, largely due to the success of Old School RuneScape (OSRS), demonstrates the importance of community trust. A pricing change perceived as exploitative could reopen old wounds and drive away the core players that give RuneScape its legitimacy. Moreover, RuneScape’s competitive positioning is at risk. The gaming industry is saturated with free-to-play and subscription-based games offering transparent and fair value propositions. A shift to a multi-tiered, opaque pricing model would not only confuse existing subscribers but also weaken RuneScape’s ability to attract and retain players amidst fierce competition. As stewards of this iconic franchise, you have a unique opportunity to safeguard its legacy and ensure sustainable growth. I urge you to advocate for a membership structure that prioritizes transparency, equity, and alignment with the community’s expectations. Doing so will not only protect RuneScape’s reputation but also reinforce the stability of your investment. Thank you for considering this critical perspective. Together, we can ensure that RuneScape continues to thrive as a beloved and profitable game for years to come. Sincerely, Ghost Sabre2 points -

(North America) Tell us about your RuneScape account and history. I have been playing on and off since I was in elementary school. I started playing in 2006-2007. I enjoy leveling all skills, but combat/PVM is my favorite activity. Recently got my quest cape so I tried out raids for the first time and I look forward to doing that more in the future. Tell us about your clan history. No clan history in OSRS or RS3. Looking to join because an IRL friend is a part of this clan and recommended I join. His RSN is "Limeluck". Tell us about your yourself. My name is Ian, I'm in my late twenties and work as a high school social studies teacher in NY. Spend my time playing a lot of games, but lately it's been non-stop OSRS. Enjoy classic rock, punk rock and alternative music. Huge sports fan and graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. How did you hear about us? IRL friend "Limeluck" What makes you want to join us? Honestly just looking for a shared community to chat/play OSRS with. I only have 2 friends who actively play the game so it would be nice to actually have a community to join into. I'd also like to find people who I could do multiplayer activities with, like raids and group boss PVM. Do you agree to the rules and requirements of WG and understand that this is an honour clan?

Long ago, around 2007 or 2006 , i was in the WG clan, cant exactly tell you what my user name was, because i was a foolish boy and was scammed or hacked many times over, but i can say that i had a few named; sir_jerson, lord glen17, and bl33d_bia1ch. If anyone remembers me and still active, i would love to hear from you.

Welcome to WG! Look forward to gaming with you. After 24h from your application head to our discord (discord.gg/wg), find the osrs-app-review channel, type "!review" and then send a link to your application here. An app manager will help you from there. Make sure to wait the 24h though or the app managers might get grumpy1 point -
