Re: Jagex Introduction / Q&A

Official responses:

<Phil^> with the game being moved to american servers, will the game clock change to american time or remain at gmt
Planetarion’s game clock will remain on GMT; we do not have any desire to change this.

<Reincarnate> what is jagex main priority? Too improve Planetarion as it is or to create the sequel?
Our primary focus now is to see how we can improve Planetarion in its current incarnation.

<Reincarnate> has jagex bought PA to remove the competition? as i notice that their own game was Stellar Dawn was launched very recently.
No, that’s definitely not our intention. Stellar Dawn hasn’t been released yet, but I can assure you that it is a very different game to Planetarion and we believe that we can very comfortably accommodate both games within our catalogue and attract new players to both.

<Reincarnate> Will there be official Jagex representative for PA? and will we be able to bring our issues to jagex directly?
Yes and yes! Initially Mod Mac (me) and Mod MarkG will be working with the PA team to decide how best to move the game forward. More Jagex staff will be introduced to the Planetarion community as and when they are assigned. At this time, all issues should be still passed to the PA team who will contact us.

<Kargool> as many people is wondering about how Jagex will run the game from now on, have you been able to establish a timeline for what you intend to do with the game in the future?
<Reincarnate> will jagex be looking into taking over Netgamers IRC? or having their own? as netgamers need development as well/
<Phil^> How will jagex contribute to netgamers in future, considering that planetarion is a partner of it. Will more games be given official channels on it?

We are working with the PA team now to finalise a timeline for any changes (including IRC usage) immediately following the server move. We will let you know as soon as this is agreed.

<Kargool> As many of the PA forum moderators are either idle or non active, will you be looking at getting new forum moderators?
<Kargool> With the hostility many people feel towards the PA forums and the mass off trolling going on there, will there be made plans to change the forums and enforce stricter moderation on the forums?

Once our plans are in place, Mod MarkG will become more actively involved with the community and will help decide how we will use the current PA forums.

<Reincarnate> has there been an actually budget set for Planetarion development? Will planetarion stay the same code based as it is now or wil it go to java like many of the new owners games?
We have a budget we can tap into for Planetarion; the key thing for us next is to work out how we should spend it. There are no plans to move to Java.

<Phil^> what is jagex's opinion on the current planetarion rules ( eula, etc ), are they going to leave them as-is or adjust to bring them more or less into line with the rules and punishments of their other games as well where possible
We don’t have any current plans for changing the Planetarion game rules.

<Reincarnate> can we expect Jagex to do some for of advertising PA? whether that is in their current games or elsewhere?
As far as advertising and attracting new players is concerned: yes, we are definitely planning to introduce new players to the game in the future, although we need to be mindful of how this will affect the current game and community as well as how new players will integrate.


<m0rph3us> could we have in future...a comment from pa crew/jagex about suggestions on the suggestion forum, such like "no **** off" "sounds cool, we are thinking of it" "will be implemented shortly"
We are keen to collect all suggestions however big or small. At this time please post on the suggestions forum and we will be avidly reading through all of them.
