I mean, when I saw an ex-Jagex employee making a new MMO I thought it was going to be slightly inspired by RuneScape... But this game looks exactly like RuneScape, and the description of the gameplay also matches it perfectly - this is essentially RuneScape 3 but managed by someone else (and with a much newer engine)

I know it’s awful but I see the acronym “MMORPG” and it’s an instant buzz kill.

Are you not familiar with Jagex, then?

They publish Runescape.

I never played it, I know it was ENORMOUSLY popular with a certain generation of folks :)

They develop RuneScape and have since the beginning.
