Jagex Ltd. (or Jagex Software) is a United Kingdom-based producer of Java-based online computer games. According to developer Paul Gower, Jagex stands for Java Gaming Experts. The company is best-known for its MMORPG, RuneScape.
History
The name Jagex Software has been in use since at least 1999, and was originally described as a "small software company based in England specialise in producing top-quality Java-games
Jagex has grown since the founding of the company in 2001. They currently have offices in Cambridge and London. The company had been recruiting heavily in 2006 and has over 300 employees, grouped into the Development, Publishing, Web Content, Minigame, and Customer Relations teams.
They maintain about 140 servers for RuneScape in various locations around the United States, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and the United Kingdom. One of the most recent additions to the servers was the addition of the two German beta servers, which are currently the only servers for a non-English version of the game. Their current major focus is on translating RuneScape into non-English markets, primarily working on a recently-released German translation of the game.
Other games have often been hinted at by the company's employees during interviews, however so far there have been no official statements regarding future products.
