In his quest to draw inspiration from other MMOs but the design that was the basis of RuneScape was one he was particularly attentive to RS Gold, laying into the universe of Melvor Idle as a parallel universe to the more than 20-year-old RPG. "RuneScape became a crucial basis for the game as it was such a crucial game for me," He explains."

As with many others I began playing RuneScape because the majority of my friends were playing it. The fact that it was an online game was a huge part of this, and the very low entry barrier combined with RuneScape's scalar depth and complexity was what kept me playing it for quite a while -- something that I was looking to replicate with Melvor Idle."

With Malcolm very open about his inspiration when he was interviewed, word soon got to Jagex that fan-made game based upon its own MMO. One employee reported the matter to management, who subsequently approved it, with manager of product development Chris Pfeiffer telling us his team was impressed by "how many things had been accomplished and how much of it aligned closely with RuneScape."

"The concept for Melvor Idle is aligned with our core values of what makes the game a living one -- that's why it's a natural fit for us," He says. "Furthermore the concept that we could give someone from our local community the opportunity has been a hugely exciting experience for everyone in the company."Pfieffer along with his colleagues, Pfieffer and his colleagues tried Melvor Idle on their own and found it enjoyable enough to reach for Malcolm in hopes of discussing the idea of working together in the first quarter of 2021.

"From just our initial conversations we discovered that Brendan shares Jagex's vision for community-driven games. He's been a master at cultivating a lively and healthy group of players around Melvor Idle. It's very rare to Buy RuneScape Gold find such a natural fit when looking for publishing opportunities however Brendan as well as Melvor Idle were exactly that, so we jumped at the chance to work with him as well as the game completely.
