Last time, I shared that Jagex is looking for Android developers and we assumed that this is because Old School Runescape is going mobile. Could this be true? We do hope so, of course, as this will allow more access to players, potentially attracting the population of people who only use smartphones for games. This for sure will make OSRS gold again.

OSRS Gold Opportunity

With the massive hype Pokemon Go got recently, I don’t think Old School Runescape going with the flow in mobile gaming is a bad move. My assumptions became stronger as they have a second page for hiring an Android developer. Here it is:

So, will this be a new bright light for the game and the community? Does this mean that people will buy OSRS gold more so they can progress faster when they get OSRS in mobile? I hope we do find out soon!
