RuneScape Now Takes bitcoin

Jagex Games Studio–creator and custodian of the fantasy MMORPG, RuneScape–has announced that they will, as of today, be accepting cryptocurrency payments for their games.

RuneScape players are now able to use the protocol to purchase membership and partake in microtransactions, such as the game’s hugely popular bonds system. As a consequence, Jagex intends to give their global audience as wide an opportunity as possible when it comes to cost-effective and secure ways of experiencing their games.

That's fantastic news, a lot of people still play Runescape so maybe this will encourage other games companies to go and use Bitcoin too.

Almost inspires me to login to my account... Almost.

Looks like they are using Bitpay for processing transactions.

Lots of opportunity I. The micro transactions space for Bitcoin.

Anyone know what the "popular bonds" are that are referenced in the article?

Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.
