Jagex co-founder and ex-employee (Andrew Gower) announces new MMORPG inspired by RuneScape (store.steampowered.com)

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've played a lot of runescape and I do not have a good opinion about jagex. They're lucky they struck gold and instead of polishing it they do everything they can to destroy it. I'm sure this game will be pure trash.

Worth noting, this isnt Jagex nor just a random former employee. The Gowers made the OG classic game. I'm tentatively excited for this one. High hopes, low expectations
