Runescape in the Wall Street Journal Runescape u Wall Street Journalu

On the plane, I noticed that the center spot on the Marketplace section of the WSJ features an article about Runescape , a title which still seems to inexplicably fly below the radar of the mainstream MMO industry. Na avionu, primijetio sam da je centar mjesto na Marketplace odjeljak u WSJ značajke članka o Runescape, naziv koji još uvijek izgleda kao da inexplicably letjeti ispod radar za redovitu MMO industriji. I didn’t read the article (my seatmate would have objected to my taking the paper from his hands, no doubt!) but I did see that it included speculation as to whether Jagex , the makers of the game, would be the next to be acquired by a major media company, as MySpace was. Nisam pročitao članak (moje seatmate bi prigovorio da moj rad uzimajući iz ruke, bez sumnje!), Ali sam vidim da su spekulacije o tome da li Jagex, u makeri od igre, bila bi pored biti nabavljena od glavnih medijskih kompanija, kao što je MySpace. Alas, the article is hidden behind a for-pay gate, but if you’re a WSJ.com member, I suppose you can get to it. Jao, u članku je skriven iza vrata za plaćanje, ali ako ste član WSJ.com, Mislim da možeš doći do nje.

Many dismiss Runescape because its graphics aren’t impressive — indeed, the heading on the article stated they were “dull.” But skip past that — in terms of gameplay, Runescape is a very worldy world, offering a diverse array of activities that frankly,resembles UO a lot (chopping down trees and fishing are osme of the first things that it is suggested you do). Mnogi Runescape odbaciti jer je grafika nije impresivna - doista, zaglavlja na članku naveo da su "glup". Preskočite prošlosti Ali da - u smislu igrivosti, Runescape vrlo je worldy svijetu, nudi raznolik niz aktivnosti koje iskreno , sliči UO puno (sjeckanje dolje stabala i ribolov su Osme od prvih stvari koje je predložen učiniti).

The principal audience appears to be kids in their early teens, perhaps before they get ready to move on to paying their way in games like World of Warcraft. Glavni publike izgleda kao da se djecu u svojim ranim mlade, možda prije nego što su dobili useljivo uplatom na putu u igrama poput World of Warcraft. I can tell you that it hasn’t budged from the #1 spot on the Yahoo! Ja mogu reći da je ne budged iz # 1 mjesto na Yahoo! BuzzMeter in literally a year or two. BuzzMeter doslovno u godinu ili dvije.

By the way, it’s raining hard in Vegas. Po putu, pada kiša teško u Las Vegas. I thought parallel recreational worlds distanced from reality were always supposed to cater to the customer. Mislio sam da paralelni svjetovi udaljeni rekreacijske od stvarnosti su uvijek treba dostaviti do kupca.

    Jagex has rejected substantial acquisition offers from at least one major league media company already and I’m sure they’ve received other offers. Jagex je odbacio bitan akvizicija pruža barem jedan od glavnih medija liga tvrtka već i siguran sam da ste primili su druge ponude.

    I emailed you the text from the article. Ja Vas e-poštom tekst iz članka. Not really all that interesting - very formulaic. Ne baš sve što je zanimljivo - vrlo formulaic.

    Besides, from a sociological perspective, what could compare to WoW on South Park, anyway? Osim toga, iz sociološke perspektive, što bi moglo usporediti s WOW na South Park, anyway?

    Steven: Thanks for the republish link! Steven: Ponovo Hvala za link!

    Fairly standard material, but good material for the average WSJ reader who does not know or play these games… Prilično standardne građe, ali dobar materijal za WSJ prosječni čitatelj koji ne znaju ili igrati te igre ...

    Runescape works. Runescape djela. My kid plays it. Moj jare igra ga. I didn’t even have to tell him it existed — his social network did. Nisam čak su mu reći da je postojala - njegova društvena mreža nije. Now, as he moves from activity group to activity group, he finds other RS players and they trade names so they can be friends in game as well as real life. Sada, kao on se seli iz aktivnosti grupe za aktivnost grupe, on pronalazi drugih igrača i RS su trgovačka imena, kako bi se oni mogu biti prijatelji u igri, kao i pravi život. Funny thing is, we homeschool. Smiješni stvar je, što homeschool. I imagine that if my son was in normal school, he would have found RS on his own much earlier and would talk about it daily at lunch. Li zamisliti da ako je moj sin bio u učiteljska škola, on bi se našao u RS na svoje puno ranije i da razgovaraju o tome svakodnevno na ručak. ;)

    Jagex is doing a very good business on a very easy to maintain product. Jagex radi vrlo dobre poslovne na vrlo jednostavan za održavanje proizvoda. That’s smart. To je pametna. If they don’t get acquired, I could see them doing an IPO eventually… Ako oni ne bi stekla sam mogao vidjeti ih radiš jedan IPO kraju ...

    Grimwell - Grimwell --

    Why IPO? Zašto IPO? As you say, they have a great product that is easy to maintain. Kao što kažu, oni imaju veliki proizvod koji je jednostavan za održavanje. They don’t need the capital of a stock offering to grow, if they wanted to do another game, they could probably develop it from free cashflow. Oni ne trebaju glavnom gradu dioničko prinos raste, ako su htjeli da drugi igra, vjerojatno bi mogli razviti ga iz slobodnog novca. The business must be generating tons of money for the owners. Poslovni mora biti u prouzrokovanje tona novac za vlasnike. The article states they are taking the company off to the Canary Islands, after all. U članku se navodi da su vodeći tvrtku isključiti na Kanarski otoci, poslije svega. The Jagex guys sound smart, hopefully they will avoid the IPO and buyout trap. U Jagex zvuka pametnih dečki, nadamo se da će izbjeći zamku Otkup i IPO.

    The key part of Blizzard’s keynote at AGC seems to have been missed by a lot of people: great gameplay and acceptable graphics that work on a wide range of platforms = money making game. Ključni dio Mećava je glavni na AGC izgleda kao da su propustili koju mnogo ljudi: velika igrivost i grafika prihvatljivo da se rad na širokom rasponu platforme = novac izradi igre. This is also seen by Maple Story from Korea, Puzzle Pirates, Habbo Hotel, Cyworld, and even Iron Realms textMMOs. To je također vide Maple Story iz Koreje, Mozgalice Pirati, Habbo Hotel, Cyworld, pa čak i željeznog Realms textMMOs.

    If I wanted to build a kick a** licensed MMO, it would be based on the Lego license! Ako sam htio izgraditi jedan udarac nogom ** licenciran MMO, da bi se temeljiti na Lego licencu!

    IPO because it could give them more money (them = the people holding the company) in very fast order, to the point that they’d likely never have to work again. IPO jer ga mogao dati im više novca (njih = ljudi drži tvrtki) u vrlo brzo naručiti, do točke da nikad ne bih vjerojatno morati raditi ponovo. They may be making that kind of cash right now, but few can resist the ability to suck in millions and then leave the company to the board. Oni svibanj biti odluka koje vrste novca odmah, ali nekoliko mogu odoljeti sposobnost progutati milijune, a zatim napustiti društvo na brodu.

    Note that I didn’t say that an IPO would be great for the game… Imajte na umu da ja ne kažem da je IPO će biti velik za igra ...

    A key factor in it’s success is the fact that it’s web based, IIRC. Ključni čimbenik uspjeha u tome je i činjenica da je web-baziran, IIRC.

    I was at the public library with my kids the other day, and of the 12 pc’s there, I did a quick ‘walk-by’ to see what was on screen: Bio sam na javne biblioteke sa svojom djecom drugi dan, i od 12 pc-a tamo, sam brzo hoda po 'da vidim što je na ekranu:

    4 running pre-school software (you can’t disable it and get to a regular browser. 4 prikazuju pred-škola softver (ne možete ga isključiti i doći do redovne preglednik.
    3 visiting myspace pages 3 posjetom MySpace stranica
    4 running runescape 4 prikazuju runescape
    1 idle 1 miruje

    I’d imagine PC’s in schools are much the same. Dajte zamislite računala u školama su puno iste.
