Somewhat saddening article with multiple quotes from Jagex CEO Geoff Iddison. Why saddening?
“We’ve got an infrastructure behind Runescape which is the real silver of the Jagex, the value of the company,” said Iddison. “It’s not the game, the game is going to come and go,” he said.
I know, I am being childish. Runescape is not going to last forever, in fact, it will probably be totally gone in 5-8 years, but it saddens me to hear such uncaring words from Jagex anyway.

I disagree. These things have very long tails, there will always be a hard core set of players who want to keep playing the game. The cost of servers and the cost of bandwidth keeps going down, so Jagex will still find some profit in keeping some servers running the game.
Regardless when it ends, whether tomorrow, or 5-8 years from now.....It appears it will indeed end. That will be a sad day indeed for the hardcore rs players. I can only hope this new game they are introducing will be as good as rs is/was/will be.
