The success of an online game
We examine how the online game Runescape has been turned into a multi-million pound business even though you can still access it free of charge. The game has proved a major success with teenagers who enter a virtual world where they can interact.

Perhaps this radio thing wil prompt more people to play the game, grow rich, causing a higher demand for discontinued items, making people grow wealthier.

*quits half-way through*

It amazes me that they interview 'noobs'. They had no idea what they were talking about and would have been better to interview me because im special (needs).

Oh and what's the song. I barefully go to F2P areas anymore.

I think the song is from the yew tree area north of varrock.
Im suprised too they interviewed two low lvls that dont really know what they are talking about based on what they were saying and there knowledge of it, one of them says " 200 worlds" or something like that, hes actually about 70 off i think, 132 worlds I think we have.
Yea thick accent too, every sentence he had to say "Like"
Nice interview anyway

There from the north, it's clear, no wonder it sounds thick, there not the brightest bunch up there, it's all stealing cars and breaking windows. :lol:

'it's very in touch with it's userbase'

Lmfao. Try playing the game for longer than five minutes and you'll soon find out it's not in touch at all.

I can't bear to listen to people talk about Runescape, except maybe the podcast, anything else just makes me cringe.

I think their aim was to take an average player of RS who fit into their age demographic of 13-17. The reality is that most people who play RS (and I'm going to assume that these guys play f2p) aren't higher lvls..especially not in f2p. They were interviewed more about the social aspects of the game as opposed to the actual gaming details. I think any player can answer the questions they asked (minus the world question, which the boy was a little clueless about) regardless of age or level.
