Jagex Working on New MMO
Spacer

 

At the GameHorizon conference in Newcastle last week, Geoff Iddison, from Jagex, the makes of Runescape, was part of a panel about the future of games - things like user-generated content, and different billing systems such as micro-transactions. He spoke about the technology behind Runescape, and also revealed that the company, who have recently launched a casual games portal, are also working on a new MMO jokingly (we assume) called 'NextScape' which will launch in 2009. They also have plans for a third MMO sometime in 2010.

"We've got an infrastructure behind Runescape which is the real silver of the Jagex, the value of the company," Iddison said. "It's not the game, the game is going to come and go."

The forthcoming MMO will likely use a subscription based model, similar to Runescape with some free to play features and others that you need to pay to get access to. The 2010 one may use micro-transactions. Iddison was quick to stress that they will not introduce micro-transactions in Runescape, as they feel it would un-balance the game and alienate their existing players.

The conference was very developer focused, so they didn't talk about what the forthcoming games would be, but it was interesting to hear them mention the plans even in passing.
