1. About Jagex.
Jagex, which stands for Just About the Game Experience, is the name of the company which produces the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, MMORPG, RuneScape, and the Java gaming site, FunOrb, as well as some other small games.
In December 2001 Andrew Gower, Paul Gower and Constant Tedder got together and founded Jagex Limited as a commercial operation to take over the running of RuneScape, its underlying technologies and other games developed by Andrew. RuneScape had already become a game which had over 1 million accounts created by 2001!
The three founders set out with two immediate tasks: firstly, to make the operation of RuneScape commercially viable, establishing long term advertising sales relationships, and, secondly, to develop a premium version of the game for subscription-paying members.
Both of these tasks were achieved soon after and, on 27th February 2002, Jagex launched the members' version of RuneScape. In the first week after launch over 5000 people subscribed, making RuneScape instantly one of the largest pay-to-play Java games in the world.
In March 2004, RuneScape was heavily updated. The new version, which is often referred to as RuneScape 2 (RS2), features a completely new game engine and vastly improved graphics.
Since that date, RuneScape has gone from strength to strength; expanding both as a game - with regular updates giving new storylines, quests and maps produced by the Content Development team - and as an ever-growing community of sociable online game players.
